one of the reasons the watchtower is having problems with donations is because they have refuse to let go of wholesale across the board shunning.
the average publisher is sick of it and jehovah is withholding his full blessing.
when you do not show love to fellow humans you run the risk of not being able to show love which i'm turn has a direct relationship to your joy in turn if your not happy your not motivated to donate lots of money to and arrangement you perceive as unloving all you bethel lurkers convey this message to bro letters and rest of gb stop trying to convince fair minded people to support unloving shunning.
Forgiveness and shunning. After years of shunning when does it turn
to hate. When do you begin hating your father, mother, sister or brother
because they refuse to come back to the borg. They tell you, I still love you
but down deep that love turns to hate for some, others they
are sick of shunning their daughter, son, sister and brother.
It is not normal..
would like to hear about any experiences anyone has had with the so called ' anointed ' .
how did it go for you?
i have a 50 year reunion coming up and.
i am looking forward to it.. they all know i was a jw, it should be interesting.. i figure we won't have many more (reunions) so i must attend, the last round up..
rebel, don't be embarrassed. Class mates I have met over the years tell me they
thought I went nuts. About 20 years ago there was a gathering of class mates,
not a class reunion just old friends. They told me we have heard about you,
a missionary, traveling all over the place. So I went with that, didn't won't to tell
them I clean toilets, LOL.
NewYork44m: My high school announce the up coming class reunions on their
home page.
LisaRose: you may be surprise what your class mate remember about you, and what
things will come to mind.

RoyalFlushPhil: I think at 50 years you so happy to see your class mates are still
alive, and a lot of us is still taking drugs but legally. You were right about
class reunions from 5-20 years. The first few years folks boast about their career,
next few years pictures of their kids, 20 years their kids career, next few
years divorce, 50th reunion you are looking for that old boy or girl friend from high school.

Fay: Yes I'm reviewing my yearbook, I hope all will wear name tags. Two years ago
at a funeral a young lady approached me and ask did I know her. I had no idea who
she was, I thought some old friend daughter. Boy was I wrong, she was my old girl friend
who I took to my senior prom, She was stunning.
Dagney:" in our eyes we still see each other as those 14 yr old kids", so true. Yes
we are going to have great time.

i don't have a great reference point on my observation other than my local area but i was wondering if this was a widespread thing.
... in the last two years in my former congregation there have been 6 people to disassociate for "apostasy," 6 disfellowshipped for various reasons, and numerous ones reproved.
these are just the ones i have heard about.
When was the last time someone that had no family members that were JW,
get baptized, the beginning of a first generation to come into the borg here
in the USA???
bradford mention "I don't recall the last one who was found in the ministry".
That is a good sign...
this thread is dedicated to our beloved poster of 13 years perry and his parrot.
for those who are new to jwc perry is the foremost apologist for christian fundamentalism and all its shining truths.
he previously posted a thread entitled atheist miracles.
How about the hacking off the ear of the soldier and reattaching
it without surgical tools. Let me just slap that ear back on, oh hell
it's up side down.
if you were a jw in the late 70s into the late 80s you might have been one of those brothers or sisters that just happened to be in the right kingdom hall and with the right people.
during that time being a jw wasnt too bad if you were able to establish the right connections.
a person could pioneer for a while and be appointed as a ministerial servant in a year or two and within 5 years you could be an elder in your twentys.
