  Also be careful if you log into YouTube. I have a smart tv that I keep logged onto my youtube account so we can watch a playlist or subscriptions to certain channels. If i am logged onto that account on my smart phone or ipad, the viewing history can be seen on all devices logged on, plus they start suggesting other videos based on the history. It scared the mess out of me one day when a suggestion for an "apostate" YouTube video popped up on my 60" screen tv in the living room..I quickly switched over to Netflix. Lol...

  So, now I don't click on "apostate" youtube videos from JWN links or anywhere else unless I am logged out of YouTube on that device...I haven't figured out how to delete the YouTube history yet.

  Taking my sister to church this Sunday!!!

  2. experiences

  so yesterday i stopped by my sisters home and decided to just hang out and shoot the breeze... she was telling me that since she has stopped going to the kingdom hall (the last 9 months) she still looks for things to do on sunday.

  she feels she should go and do something and she likes the idea of church.

  it seems fun and will giove her a place to meet people.

  Doesn't it feel good to be able to support someone else without having to worry about how it will look to others?

  No worrying about, what if one of the "friends" see me, or what if a "non-witness" that knows I'm a "witness" see me coming out of a church...will it bring reproach on Jehovah?

  All that extra stress and pressure - just to control and keep up appearances. It doesn't matter that you are not there for yourself and simply supporting someone else in their own journey. In JW world, that's a no no!

  It's great that you are neither encouraging or discouraging, but still being supportive. That's the definition of unconditional love and support!

  Let us know how it goes.
