MARKING TALKS
by diamondblue1974 inthere used to be a practice where the elders would announce that a talk would be a marking talk and that it would relate to marking someone for some actions they have taken.
the marking would be anonomous and i remember a great deal of confusion being created when a talk was given because the congregation didnt realise who they should or should not talk to....(i know it sounds ridiculous).
what is the scriptual basis for this action?

My Son is Going Back to Iraq for his Second Tour
by Miata inand i am so angry about it.
he leaves on the 29th of january and will be gone for 15 months.

I'm thinking of going back
by Smoky inover the weekend my cousin came to visit from mi, and her husband (elder) started to do his shepperding thing with me (have not attended meetings for over 1 year), and made a compeling argument about how the holy spirit is given by god only if you attend meeting and go to field service...etc, etc.
and the whole "faith and works" issue.
it was a different angle that i have never heard before, about me being a "instrument or tool" of god...blah, blah, blah... anyhow, it got me thinking about going back...especially when things are not going to well for me right now... (he said its because i left jehovah).. how can i convince myself that this is not true?

just introducing myself
by adri2 ini never did become a jw but i did associate with them for a few years by attending meetings, going house to house, and all that fun stuff.
anyway, i have so much in my mind that i cannot possibly say in one post.
basically i saw/heard many things during my association with jw that i just didn't agree with or just made me wonder if they were truly teaching the "truth", which i have recently come to the conclusion that there is no truth.
