So what happened to the claim that the FDS is God's channel of communication to mankind in our day?

To the faithful they claim they are, to the courts, they claim they're not,

Yes, they can. And they can do it without losing contact with their family.

But.... and it is a very big but. They are treading a very thin line. If they are confronted by two Elders who witness an admission that they are no longer believers, they will be announced as 'no longer JWs'; and be shunned the same as someone who DA'd or was DF'd.

We are not thinking folks. What is the best way to get JW's to check out the events in Australia.

by James Mixon in

tell our jw family members, door knockers, and stand sitters that you were very impressed.

by the branch overseer and other elders in australia, they gave a fine witness.. so what will happen, they will tell their friends the brothers in australia gave a fine.

witness.

Black Sheep

Tell them as little as possible. Ask them what is happening in Australia, then make them tell you. Make them do the explaining.

Don't frighten them off with your opinions. Ask them for their's.

Keep them honest.

The Secret is out....but nobody cares

by MrTheocratic in

i've been looking on this site for some time but never posted.

Has anybody been guilted/emotionally blackmailed into attending the 2015 Memorial?

by Bucholz in

hello everybody, i was wondering if anyone has been guilted or emotionally blackmailed into attending the memorial this year.

something along the lines of "if you loved your family you would at least attend the memorial".

i myself haven't attended in 5 years.

Black Sheep

I never get invited. They know me. They know I was never baptised. They pretend they are my friends. They call in to say hello while doing the invite drop-off, but don't give me one.

Celebrate the Un-Memorial

i was thinking that we could spend the memorial evening doing the exact opposite of what we used to do.. smile and laugh.

have fun.

dress comfortably.

Black Sheep

I've been doing that for years. I have a beer at the local pub while the family Dubs have their annual 'Pretend Jesis is Important' scam.

Wow, the forum is very slow

i know that logging in has been a problem for some.

i hardly post any more.

i figured there would be more activity than this.

Black Sheep

The first page I see is pretty sparse on all my devices and I haven't had time to educate myself on how to surf the site for something to read. Was that country flag issue sorted? That put me off for reasons I won't go into.

Poster country flags and privacy

by Simon in

the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

Black Sheep

I'm sure having a pretty little flag is fine for most people most of the time as long as they live in large countries with thousands of Dubs and don't live in, or occasionally post from, small countries where everyone knows everyone's business.
