How did Rutherford explain that the other sheep would not partake? It would make sense that before that “great announcement” of two flocks that all partook

Feeling pressure to attend the Memorial?
by Fay Dehr infeeling pressure to attend the memorial?.
as a former elder i write this response to hopefully help those genuinely feeling “guilt” before their god.
if you are a jehovah’s witness or an “ex-jw” (for example, disfellowshipped or lapsed), then i hope that this will be of help to you.

July 2018 WT points
by The Fall Guy inpage 16, par.
18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?
if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

I was reading the article on recognition (heaven forbid we want someone to tell us we’ve done a good job) but they were trying to drive home a point using 1 Corinthians. How do they use the Greek scriptures if those supposedly only apply to the anointed?

You Know You're in the Wrong Religion When....
by Vanderhoven7 injust thought a review the following material many have contributed to might be helpful .
you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....
"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in 1919?"2.

Satan is "bullying" you through family
by neat blue dog injust thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.

But it’s not bullying when they refuse to talk to relatives that have left the truth.
I wonder if this guys family will shun him because he won’t accept a present? Bet they still invite him to dinner.

The brother in our area took the time to explain this to us sisters: they could call undue attention to our breasts while someone was trying to read it. We wouldn’t want to do that now would we?

A friend and I were trying to get a group together to see a play of Mary Poppins. We got dragged into the back room because Mary Poppins is a witch and we were promoting demonism.

Sign of apostasy
by Ireneus inelders arranged a sort of informal visit by a more capable elder accompanied by another brother who is more qualified than me from academic background.
their purpose was to reason with me as a last resort to avoid a jc.. during the two-hour discussion, i could make my point clear to them: “i don’t think any one particular religion has the whole truth.
it may be existing as bits and piece in all religions and schools of thought.
