  Isn't It Ironic

  by kelpie in

  2. friends

  i was reading the post on our standing within the congregation http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=40040&site=3&page=3 and no matter what part of the world we live in, its always the same thing.. it is always the elders kids that get away with murder while the ones that are really trying to do the right thing always get blamed for it.. when i would mention this to my mum she would always reply with, satan has already got them.

  he is trying to get you.. if you are getting persecuted.. it means you are doing the right thing.. does that sound strange to anyone other then me?.

  let's play "what if".... even if they *changed their ways*.... openly apologized.... and implemented drastic new policies.... would you go back?.

  or are you "once stung, twice shy"?.

  my grandma was a remarkable woman, with a sense of humour that could crack me up.

  and she had the determination to make everything she started a success.

  she never gave up, and fought for everything she hold dear.

  Judging Others

  by larc in

  do we judge others?

  it seems to be we don't judge about things we don't care about.

  for example, if you think inter-racial marriages are ok, then you don't judge people in a an inter-racial marriage.

  Do You Ever "MISS" Being A JW, Elder,...

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently was told by a couple of elders how much they "missed" me since i am no longer an elder.

  i got to thinking , "did i miss anything because i'm not an elder?".

  i have to say that i really can't think of anything that i truly miss.

  know the truth, not beleif

  by jane53 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "i don't think about when the end will come......i believe it will, like all christians but it is not a place to dwell.

  we don't know when...so we just live our lives as believers doing that daily stuff.

  you're right, we, as human beings dont know when 'the end' will come.

  Losing their best--Getting rid of good elders

  by VeniceIT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in january of this year, a prominent elder resigned because he was criticized for continuing to talk to an inactive couple, who had been very close friends.

  this couple are being gossiped about, as being apostates, although no action has been taken, and no announcement.

  he didn't like the scrutiny on himself and his wife, and thought they were wrong to talk to him about this issue, so he resigned.
