  Petty Gambling

  by konceptual99 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to the shepherd book.... .

  the elders do well not to involve themselves in what individuals do with regard to petty gambling solely for entertainment.

  they may need to give counsel if this becomes a cause of stumbling for others or affects the spirituality of the individual or the congregation.-w02 11/1 p. 31.. .

  Will the 2014 Memorial partaking YOUR last?

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  possibly yes.

  many wt doctrine dissenters have privately taken the bread&wine on that night for years.

  one reason is that the new covenant is not for heaven, but for forgiveness of sin, and jesus served the emblems to those with an earthly hope.

  i got a call the other day, it looks like the gb is telling everyone to contact all inactive ones, let them know they are missed, etc, and to do it within a week.

  Personally this doesnt bother me. I would LOVE for them to come calling. I want them to see how happy I am away from them! I doubt they come around or call but if they do Ill be all smiles and very upbeat. The last time they came around I gave them their visit and said all the 'right' things. Hell, I even cried a little. I talked about the great pain and loss I felt over losing a very dear family member to Cancer. They never follow up called or returned. That was last year a week before the memorial. The Memorial was the last meeting Ive been to. Its been a successful and uninterrupted fade. Any GB mandated visit will be too little & too late. BRING IT!
