  i got a call the other day, it looks like the gb is telling everyone to contact all inactive ones, let them know they are missed, etc, and to do it within a week.

  Memorial season? Boost attendance/donations? Also April is close.....get some easy time calling on inactive ones and some gossip along the way. After all, 30 hours go terribly slow sitting at a mag stand!

  My JW sister left JW husband

  after years of looking down on me for not being "in the truth", being told (more or less) that my daughter died because i did not have the "truth" and therefore god's approval.

  my sister has, after forty years of marriage and fifty years of being in the truth....left her husband and her dis-fellowshipped son and gone to live with our other sister (who by the way is disassociated).

  i am amazed at this turn of events, as i have always been led to believe that they were a fine example of how complete and spiritually protected they were as a family for being in the jw religion.

  Yes she is in crisis. Be consistantly loving. If she wants truly see - she will. If not be true to yourself and act in a way not to have regrets.

  Subliminal Messages Dispensed Through Memes and Imagery

  this might sound like an abstract idea, but i would love to hear your thoughts.

  there seem to be so many questions that can not be answered in their literature and research materials.

  there are things they just "know," even though they are often unable to find where it was published in printed material.. how many of their beliefs are being changed, shifted and spread throughout the congregation, through use of comments alone?

  court rejects missionary lawsuit against netanya schools for voiding leasethe tel aviv magistrates court has rejected a claim by a missionary group, saying that the school they had been renting space in unlawfully voided their contract , and asking the court to instruct the school to pay nis 108,000 in compensation and mental anguish, as well as legal expenses.. it began when a missionary group, via a non-profit organization called "mitzpe l'yisrael", rented space at the raziel school in netanya to conduct daily afternoon activities.

  shortly after signing the rental agreement , the school authorities discovered that the group was, in reality, the notorious missionary sect of "jehovah's witnesses".

  yes the health insurance is probably a concern. But financially they are pretty well off. At the end of each visit they always got their pockets lined with cash gifts- tips? NON TAXED. Lets say $300 a week x30 yrs. 6.5% = over 1M ! Nice little nest egg.

  I understood that if an inactive sheep does not 'bleet' (call for help in sheep language) they will not engage.
