hello all, things for the most part have been somewhat better for me because my parents haven't talked about baptism or anything recently.
i got a scholarship to go to art camp for a few weeks which has been fun (since its free, my parents didn't refuse) but it has also been very nervewracking for me.
i haven't been around any non jws for more than a year and its like being in a different world, a world where people are actually real and genuine and not mindless drones.
Great news that you are at art camp. I understand it's hard to make friends when they have a different background.
But like another poster said. Live for the moment, enjoy the present with them. Worry about maintaining long term friendships at a later time.
Have fun at art camp

this is one of the last things you are expected to do.
in a society that creates you to go home and watch the kardashians.
in an economic system where the currency trust is wavering on a private banking system.
Lol
there doing this right under my nose but i just found out.
not sure what to do but would like your help on getting me wt information on my headship role and how they shouldn't be doing this with out my permission.
also would like some help on showing my son the ramifications on what happens to someone when they get baptized and how they'll expect him to treat me.
Great update. Fabulous news.
Thanks

international version 1 cor 5:11. but now i am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler.
do not even eat with such people.. if shunning is wrong.
.how does one explain this scripture?.
Glad you recognise this as wrong Mr Theocratic.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon.

i was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.
until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.
but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.
Good thread. I think the decline is due to multiple things, but certainly trolley preaching is a factor.
I haven't spoken to them in a while. But when I do they usually seem keen to converse and they haven't spoken to anyone else.

anyone else notice that in the video where the sister was reinstated after many years of freedom, that the congregation applauded at the announcement of her reinstatement?
it been a few years since i was an elder, but when i was, we were instructed by the co that it was "not appropriate" to applaud when the announcement of a reinstatement is made from the platform.
his words, "because the one being reinstated is only doing what they should be doing!".
Yes I thought the same thing, but obviously things have changed......like they always do.

my initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.
well, a lot of things really.
i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).
PE,
I felt the same as I loved being a witness and part of a community. But I was already df'd when I woke up.
You are in a better position you can plan your exit and do things your way. You can be in control of your future.
You can plan days out with your wife and weekends away to do more exciting things than meetings.
Take it slow.....but show her love and fun.
