  when i come on jwd, i usually comment on a number of threads, check out some research on previous posts on subjects that are on my mind and create a few of my own depending on if i have anything to say.

  i promised myself i would go to bed at 2:30am, it seems like half an hour or less has gone by and it's now 4am, gowd!!!

  does this happen to you?.

  I thought most of us here were parapalegic, or whatever you call it, and hooked up to life support and to the computer...you know, having the IV drip,, and the ventitlation, doing your breathing, and the keyboard to type in our posts. At least we have control of our hands, right?

  Did you fear the elders more than God?

  by JH in

  did you fear the elders more than god?.

  i think that the members of the congregation were afraid of being caught by the elders if they done something wrong.

  but on the other hand they felt close to god and asked forgiveness if they done something wrong.. i think that there was an exagerated fear of the elders, as if they were equal to god.. what do you think, in a way, did you fear the elders more than god?.

  Congregation members too old or too young for you?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  were there enough people in your age/group or did you have to hang around with much older or much younger than you?

  i had that problem in my congregation... a few were my age, but they were married, so we weren't often together.. did you feel isolated in your congregation because of age difference or because you were single?.

  I think you will only see the congregations consisting mainly of the elderly, and people mid thirties and up and their children.

  Young Adult newbie recruits will be rare because people are getting smarter these days, esp with the help from valuable info sites such as this one.

  chins up... the end of the Society is near, the end of the Wicked Nurse Maid that breast fed us is here, now that we eat solid food!!!

  I know that there is more love here, than I ever found in my Kingdom Hall. I've seen how you all can rally and support one another. and that is a Mark of Christ. Truly.

  I loved how you shared your experiences with me, after my Burger King Post.(How has the brothers/sisters, make you feel unloved, worhtless?) And that was so special.

  Well, I do have a question for you all, and if you can give my fiancee, some support, and encouragement. I always mentioned him as my "friend." but he is my fiancee, and my Best Friend. Hes elumn8_2.

  He was disfellowshipped about 6 months ago, along with me. He's glad he's found his forum. and I'm happy to say, that with the help from the research you all have provided, He has provided research, and scriptures to a prolific writer of the "HERALD magazine, published by the Dawn Students. It will be a Anti Witness brochure, and he's pretty excited.

  Well, I wanted to say that elumn8's earlier posts, got responses, but all he got was teasing because he wasn't good at grammer ansd spelling.

  He writes about the Bible and prophecy, so I dont know if that is too intense, or what. But his latest post got no response, and he thought about not posting no more.

  This is'n't about being "big" and getting numbers, like you used to think, when you had to get your hours in the Kingdom hall, but he wanted to hear your thoughts and experiences, and getting to know you.

  After he was teased alot on his first posts, and have been getting so few responses, he thought you all thought he was a "dumb loser" and he was sad.

  Elumn8 is intense, not good at grammer and stuff, but he's a humble, great, young man, that wants to help you all, for our cause to expose the Watchtower and help heal eachother.

  Can you all say an encouragement to his post on page 1750, titled (666 THE MARK, but who? part one.).

  He's only 20, and gets down in the dumps so easily, but I know I can count on your help to rally around and encourage eachother. If he hears from you all, I want to surprise him when he gets home from work tonight, Also, along with the surprise that I found out that i'm pregnant!

  Love, Fruitcake,

  How Do YOU Help New Ones and Lurkers Here at JWD???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think we all share an obligation to help "newbies" and "lurkers" on this forum.one way i try to help is by asking questions that they might be more inclined to think about while in their position.

  do you post here with these new ones and lurkers in mind or do you primarily post to share association with friends that you already have?

  I mean his post is on page 1750. 666THE MARK, but who? part one,

  thanks, ps... My thanks on all your loving response to my Burger King story. My heart goes out to all of you. and your experiences, you all are so special.

  I esp. laughted at the suggestion of buying the tightwad elder some Burger King gift certificates, so he'd be more inclined to help someone hungry.

  Thanks
