  Last Thursday's Meeting in Elmira, On

  by newsheep in

  2. scandals

  i had gotten a phone call from a brother who was really upset.

  he said there was a resolution passed that everyone is in agreement to the selling of the elmira hall.

  the strange thing is at the congregation picnic an elder told him that a few years ago the deed to the hall was signed over to the org.

  Are Birthdays now OK?

  i see so many old and young dubbers on fb who are wishing each other a happy bday.

  when i was in the cult it was a huge no no.

  is this a doctrinal change or is it just a bunch of dubbers who are bending the rules?.

  Is the Governing Body under estimating the volume of those waking up?

  with all the scandals of the organization, it would .

  be sound and logical from a human or strategic viewpoint,.

  that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.

  I remember a poster on here commenting about some unusual event happening at the international convention in Germany. Something along the lines of the Russian brothers communicated over face book and sang a song at the end of the convention, with out expressed consent by the GB. No one believed him.

  Two JW`s called at my door today

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wife and i were expecting a health worker to call at our door 10:30 this morning and about 10;35 two women appeared at our door so i opened up thinking they were who i expected ,so i was take back a bit being caught off guard when they identified themselves as doing a bible work.. this is just the gist of what took place & not a word for word conversation.. a woman about in her fifties her companion about her twenties.the older woman did most of the talking as she read to me the scripture from her phone " in the last days critical times hard to deal with...etc.etc.and she went back and emphasised that we were living in the last days because of what that scripture said.. i made the comment that the scripture just about sums up human history in any given time.then i went on to say that this day and age is the best time in human history overall given the advances in technology ,medical procedures ,the overall standard of living being higher and so on .but they insisted on we were living in the last days.then i said different religions have been claiming that for the past couple hundred years.. then to throw them a curve ball i asked if they were mormons ?

  oh no we are jehovah`s witnesses.had i been prepared for them and not caught out unawares i would have taken a different tact.i then asked the older woman how long she has been a witness and she said 36 years so i then said to her you must have seen a lot of changes in your religion during that time which she agreed with.

  ( the light gets brighter).

  a sister in the congregation is planning to divorce her husband who is also a witness so she can marry a different brother in the same hall!

  yes this is a huge scandal!

  Are You Still “Technically “ A Jehovah’s Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  if we haven’t associated with the congregation in years, could it be said we are not jws?

  or must you be disfellowshipped or disassociated to officially say you really aren’t a witness?.

  I am still technically a JW in practice terms, although I haven’t been to a meeting in half a decade. I will keep it that way for the time that my father is still alive. When he dies then all my contacts with the JWs will be gone and I’ll happily make things official.
