  i recently heard angelo catanzaro, a rather prominent figure in the organization .. a long-time district overseer and a favorite of knorr's, died recently.

  there was some indication that he and his wife figured out ttatt in their latter years and turned "apostate"... .

  does anyone out there know what happened to them?

  How can anyone get enthused about what amounts to a circuit assembly? I was looking at the Michigan folks going to the Belleville assembly hall. Can't understand why people keep on going.

  Is shunning effective?

  does shunning accomplish its objectives:.

  make the person repent?.

  deter others from committing similar offenses in the future?.

  It made leaving easier for me. If my mom and sisters had kept in touch, kept pleading for me to come to the KH, taken an interest in my children, it would have been much more difficult to leave. Shunning made the break so much easier.

  It appears I'm able to post on your topic, Blondie. I hadn't been here for a few days and had no idea there was a change coming! I really don't like the new site but know change is inevitable so will hopefully get up to speed.

  I don't want to download an app to my browser to read personal messages. Not sure what to do.

  More Elaborate Celebrations International Conv. Atlanta

  by NoMoreHustle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  found this video of the entertainment preperation for the delegates in atlanta, u.s. this seems to be professionally done maybe outside sources or probably done by "professional" jw's.

  this is just like christendom or all the other religious organizations that they deem to be from the devil.

  the people seem to be very sincere in there efforts & is much appreciated,.

  There is so much joy in singing in a choir or being part of an orchestra and these folks get only a temporary taste. It should be an always activity for them. And the young woman who gave up a promising career for the kingdumb. How many of the GB and other higher-ups live from hand to mouth like she thinks is right?

  "Jehovah's music." How cultish that sounded!

  Resurrection talk at convention

  by innerpeace in

  i didn't go to the convention but have family who did, all are going on about the resurrection talk, how there wasn't a dry eye in the arena.

  and apparently a video was shown too on it.

  we lost a family member some years back and they are on fb talking about the resurrection and new world coming soon.

  This is what got my mom and grandma in as they'd lost my mom's brother and father in a short time. Both believed they'd never die. My mom was terrified of death. I didn't know when she was ill and dying and I wonder how she coped. I doubt my sisters had much empathy for her, would have named it being weak in faith if she showed fear.
