I know of a elderly witness woman well into her 90s who looks like death but she doggedly hangs onto the belief that SHE IS GOING TO SURVIVE THROUGH ARMAGEDDON!! I seriously believe this will of hers is what is keeping her alive. She is a lifelong witness. Never married. Pioneered since god knows when. This is what has been driving her for decades and decades and she is hanging onto that belief with every fiber of her being.

I NEVER Hear A JW Talk About Never Dying & Living Forever In Paradise Anymore!
by minimus ini was raised with this belief, that we would never die and actually make it into the "new system".
mu faithful jw aunt still talked about my mother (her sister) and her walking together into the great tribulation--- and never die at all!
she spoke of that 2 days before she passed away.. i believe most witnesses expect to die and then get resurrected.

What am I missing? You admitted you haven't seen him in years. If I saw a customer I hadn't seen in years I probably wouldn't remember them either. Some of you look for reasons to get butthurt.

My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT
by cofty in10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.
12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

Cofty...after going back I see you didn't say he immediately resigned. So an apology would have been in order had you not resorted to name calling. So perhaps you are not as delusional as I originally thought, just easily prone to butthurt.

OP....I'd love to consider your point. But when you say that your argument caused an elder to immediately resign and never attend another meeting....you immediately lost me. Makes me think you're a bit delusional.

The UNITED NATIONS IS TURNING ON RELIGION!!

So when the UN turns its attention to child abuse coverup with the WT I suppose they'll think that's the persecution...."touching Jehovah's eyeball"

Try it for a month and re-evaluate how you feel. Most of the people who call it a quack diet have no experience with it and just regurgitate things they read on the internet.

2014 DC: Fewer, but larger venues in the U.S.
by doinmypart inin the u.s. there are fewer venues this year, but they will be held in larger facilities.
as long as i can remember my family travelled no more than 2 hours to attend and in the last few years the dc was local (within a few minutes travel).
this year my family is driving 6 hours to a major u.s. city.

My wife and I had already decided we weren't going to the DC this year. But when changed it from the normal venue which is 2 hours away to one that is 5 hours away it just confirmed our decision. I was listening by phone when they made the announcement. First.....oooohs and aaaahs. Then....applause. I was thinking....wtf are you people applauding?
