I have a strict rule of not clicking on anything jw so as not to give it any ranking with google (if things still work that way) besides, I can't stomach anything from the wt. I broke my own rule and watched a few seconds of the first video. Is it my imagination or is nearly the entire audience a bit elderly? -

My First Birthday.....
by The Marvster ini awoken today and realised immidiately i'm 44 today... and after 3 years of being out, decided to acknowledge my birthday.... i'm off out to treat myself to a big hearty breakfast with cup of tea in the local weatherspoon's by the massive pond full of weird bird-life, later today i'm giving myself a gift of a 90 minute relaxation session in a float tank down by canary wharf in london.... only really have 2 close friends (it's a slow process trusting people agian) and they probably won't be able to see me today, but i'm sure i'll have a belated surprise from them both.... the first thing i did when i remembered was to rush to the computer, connect to the web and put on stevie wonder's 'happy birthday', as i listen to it, tears stream down my face... all those years of my life stolen ' but..... i'm free....'.

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.

THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016
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.
