I had a melt down with my Father over my Mom and Sister not coming to my daughter's Birthday Party.
by adjusted knowledge inlast year my daughter had her first birthday and all my wife's family and friends were there.
my family didn't attend.
my mother and sister still believe in the jw teachings even though they are both considered inactive.

Mad Irishman, I wonder if your family would have a different view than you do about their being 'hurt' or not?
My jw, the only jw any of us know on either side of the family and I can tell you the family is deeply hurt that he won't go to family events (holidays,birthdays) yet expects people to come to an event (get together) we may host or may have been his idea in the first place. I can't tell you how many times people joke with me (non jw) that they may not be able to come because it is 'against their religion' that day. Yes, they come, because that is what families do, they get together.
Only cults deny the natural family bond.

by wifibandit inpdf .
this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

Speculation on future donation arrangements
by respectful_observer inin the aftermath of this year's annual meeting and the recent tremors of cash shortfalls within the organization, i began thinking "what could they do next to bring in more $$$.".
many here have speculated that we're seeing incremental moves toward "tithing" (of course they would never call it that).
a recent thread (can't find it right now) highlighted that they recently raised the "suggested per publisher donation" at the circuit assembly significantly (tripled it?)..
