it's not so bad now.

at least we are out, either mentally, physically or both.. and now, we know better!.

Will the 2014 Memorial partaking YOUR last?

by prologos in

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.

not going. last year was just that- my last year. Havent been to a meeting since. We will probably reflect on the meaning of the day as a family at home and review a few verses.

Get ready for phone calls from Elders either this week or when the next CO visit happens.

by EndofMysteries in

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.

i know for me it was soon after lurking here for awhile and reading some threads on the issue.

i remenber when i tore it into little tiny pieces.

it felt so liberating..

I havent carried one in about 10 years. But it was just this year that I removed the 'no blood' clause from my childs school emergency info.

NEW BOE LETTER - It just got exponentially harder to "fade"

by sir82 in

jw
friends

here is the text of the letter:.

february 2, 2014. .

your brothers,.

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!
