When the new system comes you won't have all your modern high fangled conviences.
Then you'll be glad for your training to live like a frontier family.
You'll be like the Israelites after leaving Egypt complaining where's my MTV.

Not a part of this world..ain't that the truth!
by Virgochik inwhen jw's say they are no part of this world, i have to wonder if they know just how true that is.
if they could see themselves as others see them, carrying the scripture to the ridiculous extremes that some do.
for example, i had a recent conversation with (left un-named fro security reasons) elderly relatives.

(when their numbers got to be too many)
I learned this wasn't the reason for the shift from this forum.
I know there is at least one thread explaining this, will search.

DA Question
by moomanchu inmy sister in-law daed back around 1981, she was told by the elders at the time that if she daed she wouldn't be shunned by the family for doing this.
i think right when she daed though was the same time wt was changing their thinking on daing and disfellowshipping making them equal for shunning.. my question is,.
is there a wt publication of something that you can pin down a date for the shift in policy?

My question is,
Is there a WT publication of something that you can pin down a date for the shift in policy? I think if I could show something like this to the rest of her family they might accept her back in the family. My wifes side of the family aren't really hardcore JW,s (mine is) and I think if I could prove to them that when she DAed this wasn't the policy (shunning) kind of like a grandfather clause situation. It would be great to get her back in the family,she has been hurt by her side of the family for a long time.
Thanks

Prediction of large drop in JW numbers in 2014
by VM44 ini am going to make the prediction, here and now in mid 2006, that there will be a significant drop in the number of jehovah's witnesses in the year 2014, the one hundredth anniversary of 1914.. the only way this drop in numbers might be avoided is if the watchtower society can think up some way to stir up the rank and file and get them motivated to do more, like they did with the 1975 fiasco.. .
i doubt very much that the watchtower magazine is going to proclaim loudly in the year 2014 anything about the "generation of 1914" not passing away.. --vm44

The large increase with the Latinos could be a double edge sword.
The large increase with latinos is because of the close family relationship latinos have.
Maybe the large decrease will be for the same reason.

Truthfully..do you think you are being shunned or.......
by Snoozy inmany on here say they are being shunned by their family members.in some case this is probably true.
but seriously..could it be that they have a life and they may not have time for you anyway?
or finds you not too much fun to be around?.

I am also saying they are NOT the only religion that does this. They all have little clicks where you may feel shunned and yet it isn't always so official like in the JW religion.
DUH!!!!!!!!!
You believe it's our fault and something is wrong with us thats why they don't accept us what you don't realize is they don't give a rats ass about us or you they're just following rules.
It doesn't matter how nice or how smooth or how careful we are in speach they had their minds made up before the first word came out of our mouth.
