  Friend said they're really emphasizing "Family Worship Evening" at the Convention - why did they get rid of the book study then?

  i just had a chat with a friend i haven't seen for a while.

  he knows we're inactive.

  he was trying to encourage us by relating what he heard at the convention, saying "the end is near" and then proceeded to tell me that what stood out the most was how many times the society emphasized "family worship" night at the convention.. it got me thinking, why did they get rid of the book study arrangement in private homes if they're so keen on forcing people to have family worship night?

  I've noticed too the great emphasis on a "family worship evening".

  Its being pushed down every dubs throat. What they don't talk about is the FAMILY STUDY. Is the family worship evening to replace that?. There has not been one mention of the family study since this "new" arrangement has been in effect.

  A composite? I think you could very well be right. (And I don't think "she" is the first one. ) This is a possible theory, it may explain some of her posts.

  but they do not deserve to be hounded away and insulted for feeling the way they do.

  This is true, but Rennia cared nothing for the feeling of others. She just hijacked thoughtlessly as many threads as she possibly could. It appeared to me she played the contrarian for the sheer fun of it and to get under people's skin. Just my 2 cents worth.

  All Ex-Elders, Mr.Flipper going to Final MeetingW/Elders! I'll be careful!

  hello ex-elders, onthe wayout, snakes, and wilyloman, just to refresh about a month ago i told you all that the appeal committee had overturned the disfellowshipping decision by the original jc as the appeal committee got a hold of me by phone and told me the society gave them direction in this.

  i have since explained the situation to my witness mom and dad, 80 &82, they are good with it.

  i am taking copies of the counsel you ex elders gave to me to be careful about what i say at this "alleged encouragement" meeting and promise you this, i'll watch my words carefully when they ask me questions.

  Hi Mr. Flipper, I always enjoy your posts and this thread was of particular interest to me. My hubby(goes by name apocalypse) and I faces a similar situation with local elders.

  I believe it takes great courage to do what you did for the sake of your family. I know it did for us.

  Please continue to post for the sake of those of us a little more reserved.

  WOW. That name brings back memories. I remember him from the early 80's, where he was invited to give a talk at the Norval Assembly Hall, near the Canadian branch. He seemed like a nice well spoken man. He was old at that time.

  My family has his talks on tape somewhere. I'm very interested to know what has really happened to him.

  Recently disfellowshipped prominent Assembly overseer in Western Europe now speaking out against the Watchtower org.

  former elder, and assembly overseer roberto from france will be joining barbara and joe anderson on tonight's conference call, july 18,2009. roberto was disfellowshipped in june 2009 and after many faithful years of service is now joining thousands of others who are speaking out against the evils of the watchtower organization.

  our call tonight will be focused on how the country of france, as well as other european countries are investigating jehovah's witnesses.

  the watchtower organization is experiencing difficulties in these countries for the inhumane treatment and exerting too much control over people's lives.

  I would like to know if you have succeeded in helping your friends or family SLOW DOWN in their zeal as a JW

  i have read thousands of posts on this forum, and i am finding with all your experiences that however hard we try, it's difficult to actually get a family member or friend to disassociate themselves.

  after all, some of us are still "active jw's", right?.

  but, i have been noticing that some seem to have accomplished enough with questions and comments that at least their family members or friends are less active as jw's.

  I agree with Blondie that it only works with people that already have a few cracks in their armour. Hubby however, as been successful with one family that has completed left. and together we have helped a good friend who also took "french leave" as we say in Canada.

  For the most part, trying to educate someone has always landed me in the back room of the hall
