yes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.
they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.
they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .
As GB leader Lett just said at our convention ...."Jehovah is not a god of numbers after all only 8 made onto the ark"
Can't argue with that logic...nope.
he kept telling us to pray for the governing body members too since there was so few of them now.
i heard on Sunday he admitted that the religion is losing all the kids...
weird.
ive no source for this, just personal speculation.. * there is a good case to be made that there were female deacons (ministerial servants) in the bible.. * there is a lack of qualified brothers for basic assignments such as microphones, accounts, literature.
in some cases, elders have had to do double duty because of a lack of ministerial servants or qualified brothers.. * women outnumber men in the organization.. * there is supposedly a surprising change coming "down the pipe".. perhaps the only difference between male and female ministerial servants is that women will still not be allowed to teach..
1 Timothy 2:11-12
… 11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. …
i think they use this one. Good old single Paul. He was never married .....I can't figure out why. Maybe since he was such a murderer. Yup....that would do it for me.
strange that Paul was not without accusation but still was used as whatever Title he had..... and wrote those rules for leadership requirements.
weird.
after missing 63 years of birthday celebrations, i'm making up for it in spades.
cake, presents & parties.
i tell everyone i meet that today is my birthday just to hear them say "happy birthday".
Have a fabulous birthday. The rest of us should celebrate our unbirthdays today. Since there is no scripture....I mean beheaded man saying we can't! Yay!!!
the 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.".
Maybe the silver Bible will become available in purple! I hope ...I hope ...I hope
ha

"yes, sadly it is only a matter of time before pedophilia and incest becomes an "alternative lifestyle".
it was true in parts of canaan and rome.
I have said this before .... Sodom and Gomorrah was not destroyed because of homosexuality. It was destroyed because they were sociopaths.
then Lots daughters made sure to save the wine for later....
why is the Bible sooooooo weird?

it is an interesting thought but I can't see that happening. I think they would say it would lead to the "Jezebel" influence.
it would be a strange dynamic where a man is not a servant then his wife becomes one.....who is the head of the house now mister?
yes now I like this idea. :-)
where do I vote.....
after the 1975 "we did not say point blank armaggeddon was coming we only suggested it might come" fiasco what is the new date jws are "hinting" at for armaggeddon?
i know now they do not point to any specific date but hint that maybe it might occur such as before 2000 the preaching work will be finished.
this is a suggestion not a prediction so they can wiggle out of this one.
Acts 1:7
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or periods that the Father has set by His own authority.
In other words ...Acts 1:7.......knock it off
- some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.
i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.
yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!
1) when dating we were counseled for calling each other, "honey" though not engaged.
2) pulled in the back and asked if I had a free Denny's birthday meal. Why yes I did. Sooooooooo?
3) told my knees would distract the brothers from the meetings. I said they were perverts then and to give me a break and get help.
4) told it wasn't up to me to warn the families in the hall about a pervert. Read the scripture about a time to keep quiet. To which I said ..."give me a tent pin"
I read COC on my ipad during the meetings.
if you don't like being a jehovah's witness or going to the kingdom hall or the society then leave.... it's as simple as that... .
i left several years ago and have not been hounded, bothered or sought out by anyone.
i still see them from time to time, and yes, they do pour out the love bomb when you run into them, but eh, you know what?
I wish it was that easy.
