I remember we kept going back because we never knew when an event in a persons life would make them receptive to the message. Guess unresponsive ones are out of luck now!

AGM - Are they now teaching predestination?
by Doubting Bro inanother agm thought.
in tight pants tony's part, he mentioned several times that jehovah draws those he chooses and only those rightly disposed would come in.
and individuals that liked the literature but made no progress towards becoming jw were a "waste of time".. was he setting the stage for them introducing the thought of predestination?

Who has a harder time leaving JW's - Born Ins or those who converted?
by HeyLittleGirl inmy freind (who is also out) and i were talking about this the other night.
i was a born-in, 3rd generation jw and she converted when she was in her late 20's.. when she left, she said that she knew the world wasn't as bad as she was told as a jw, so she knew she would be fine.
also, she still had lots of "worldly" family who welcomed her back with open arms.. it was harder for me - i had nobody in the "world", no family or freinds.

They do Steve. They tell the r&f when enough is enough and escort them to a private area. One time I even heard one yell "5 more minutes" to those standing in line to meet Sanderson.

Met him once 15 years ago then again just recently. There was a significant change, it seems as if all the popularity has worn him down and made him much less approachable.

2018 Annual Meeting
by EyesOpenHeartBroken indoes anybody have any word on the 2018 annual meeting?
i assume something new will be rolled out, since they are having all the congregations do special weekend streaming.. my guess is that there will be some major "new light" concerning the memorial, partaking, anointed, etc.
i would guess that they will say all baptized believers should partake.

I'm sure, since they are doing the dedication,we will get counciled again for taking real vacations instead of going to headquarters and dropping money into the boxes there.

Be loyal when a relative is disfellowshipped
by UnshackleTheChains inwell.....they showed that shunning video again.
you know...the one where goldilocks gets disfellowshipped- and the parents look across the hall at her with disdain.....yeah that video.. i was interested to see what kind of answers would be given during the discussion after the video and some of the reactions.

Snow in JW's Paradise or not.
by James Mixon inok ezekiel 34:26-27 says there will be seasons.
so if you have rain in higher elevation it will turn to snow, you will have deserts, waterfalls ,high peaks and snowstorms and these can cause pain and death.
will one die from sking down the side of a mountain( if they have the time in paradise) at 30 miles an hour and run into a tree, if one end up in a snow storm 40 below in your wagon(no cars) will you die???
