to all bodies of elders in russia new law on missionary activity.
In addition, our personal preaching ministry is not "in order to involve other persons to be the participants (followers) of religious organization". We just share the gospel with others, and people, in turn, decide how to act.
Ummm..."Go forth and make disciples"?
recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".
Decades ago, some thought the Witnesses were Communists.

Simon,
Lately there have been ads apparently giving the opportunity to share in keeping this site afloat. Just checking--are they really from you? I'd hate to have anybody give to a fraudulent site.
Thanks for all your work.
for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?
do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.
if you do still go, how do you manage?

so after almost a year of complete inactivity and non attendance, i ran into a nice brother from the local congregation.. after some nice chit-chat, he says "we really miss you and your family...etc...you were always the kind and supportive one, the approachable and encouraging one in the congregation.
your absence has confused so many".
i thanked him and said "oh no, no individual has stumbled us.
A traveling overseer was asked for help in dealing with doubts. His advice? "Get a hobby." Which translates into, "Find something unrelated to spiritual things to occupy your mind so you don't spend so much time THINKING."
one of the things i could never understand is people handing over absolute control to these charlatans.
i know over the years they have bashed owning pets for various reasons.
complete stupidity.
There was also a talk at an assembly or a convention. It warned against letting pets take up too much time, as from meetings and field service, or cost too much money to care for.
well, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.
she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.
i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.
i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.
my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.
i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.
