I had lunch with the only JW I'm still in contact with (covertly) and she made the comment yesterday, "We don't preach the good news of the kingdom anymore. We promote a website."

I have no doubt after 5 years the composition of that congregation may have changed slightly, but not enough that there are no qualified brothers to take a mower out for a walk. This is not a city environment. We ain't no sissy city slickers. We's rednecks... with trucks... and lawn mowers and trailers. You can't tell me there ain't no gooder opshuns than bringing in worldly people.
Fade to Black: perhaps one of the elders owns a lawn service business.
For a second I thought maybe... but I recognized the name of that landscape company and I've met the guy who owns it. Big 'ole nasty redneck with a big 'ole nasty white belly. And he has facial hair.
And he spits!

When I was still attending I almost single handedly took care of the outside grounds. I actually enjoyed it - gardening being a hobby. But I turned in the keys to the shed about three months before I made my official exit.
Since then I noticed various brothers and sisters taking care of the place. Every year they would have a big spring cleaning right before memorial. Yesterday I passed by the hall and noticed a local landscape company truck in the driveway and some guy with a beard (*gasp*) mowing the lawn. Now we all know bearded men will not inherit God's kingdom so it begs the question what kind of situation exists where a hall with three congregations of 90+ publishers each cannot come up with one person to cut the grass. Even if their mower is broken for the time being, I even used my personal mower a couple of times in a situation like that.
But to bring in worldly people... dead people walking - to cut the grass? What gives?

It RATTLES me how impervious to reason a modern day JW is---even a DF'd one!
Once upon a time, weren't we all?
I think it rattles me to realize how impervious I was.

Something Big is Coming...
by notsurewheretogo inthe annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

Hamsterbait: I think it is either the blood or partaking.
That would be awesome.
For a few weeks after I disassociated my mother would still talk on the phone with me... briefly. Then one day I sent her a letter inviting her to join me in my home to commemorate the Lord's meal where we would also partake. That's when she went full shun and I haven't seen nor spoken with her since.

Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?
by ILoveTTATT inas you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.
given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.
i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

Perfect timing. I have been corresponding with a guy in Mexico who has been contacted by JWs. He's been picking my brain about the but our correspondence has been run through google translate and sometimes that doesn't do so well.
It will be nice to have a place to send him for more information.

God supported Neco instead of His faithful king
by opusdei1972 inif you read the chapter 23 of the book of 1 kings, you will note that josiah was one of best kings of judah.
he did many good things in favor to yahweh-worshipping.
let's read:.

"God has commanded me to make haste. Cease opposing God, who is with me, lest he destroy you .”
The bible doesn't say that God was supporting Neco. NECO said that God was supporting Neco.
Just like the bible doesn't say that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ have complete confidence in the faithful and discreet slave. The F&DS say that.
