  MEMORIAL SHOCK!!!!

  by african GB Member in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last year in my cong (well it's not really "my cong" as i'm just "in" for the sake of family) we had a new "partaker of the emblems".

  it came as a shock because this man was only baptized in 2005.. his wife has been a dub from birth.. he was 63 when he got baptized, took "auxilliary" pioneer after 1 month...became a full-time pioneer after a year....became ms after 2years...made an elder 6 months later.....2008 he got "anointed"....we were all surprised at the amount of time he took to climb the jw corporate ladder....rumours are that he donated a car to our po when he (po) lost his job, and some other favours( this man is wealthy).... .

  i'm looking forward to be "just an observer" at this year's memorial in my cong (i am thinking of partaking myself, but i sure would rather not,the "bread" is tasteless and the wine is of poor quality,...i don't wanna throw out at the ms serving the emblems)..... back to that man,...how long would it take him to become a gb member?.

  GET REAL PEOPLE !!

  do some of you expect?!?!.

  i am extremely disappointed to read some people's comments about the latest news.

  it is one thing to express and opinion, perhaps that you think it isn't as big as you imagined (one wonders what you imagined) but it is another to be downright insulting to people who have put a lot of time and effort into this.. get real.

  hello, scholar

  can you name a single thing of significance that the watchtower society or charles russell taught about 1914 prior to 1914 that was accurate?

  I'm new, where to start...

  by Quietly Patient in

  hi everyone, i just wanted to sorta introduce myself and ask for some help...i've been lurking here for a while, i'm a 3rd generation witness, but thankfully never got baptized as i never liked being told what to do!

  i've been fading for a good while now, ever since i moved out 7 years ago, only going to meetings and the memorial sporatically, of course with my mom and grandmother constantly pushing me to go back etc, etc, etc!

  3 years ago i married a non jw, and i have a son who will be 2 soon, ever since i had him i kept feeling so guilty that i wasn't "doing the right thing" by him, and that if jehovah was going to judge him on my "works" then we both would be fried, that is such a horrible thought as a parent... anyway, i happened to do a search about who knows what approx.

  i am trying to put together some resources that i could go to for information on: jw's, the wtbts, peoples own opinions & issues and any bible research you may have done.. i'm asking for peeps to provide links to any articles they have written on jwd or any other websites.

  also, links to threads such as this one.. if you could post url's to your own websites, this would be very useful aswell!!.

  thanking you all in advance!.

  Piercings Anyone?

  by santacruzchick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  out of curiosity, is anyone on this forum 'into' body piercings?

  for years i'd wanted my eyebrow pierced, but i never got it done because of course it wouldn't be acceptable at the kingdom hall, and my mom certainly wouldn't be approving.

  finally, my second year in college, around last halloween, i got my eyebrow done, and i love it.
