Unhappy being asked to give a Disfellowshipped Sister a ride to and from Meetings
by Isambard Crater ini'm pimo, very much against disfellowshipping, and going to a meeting leaves me feeling confused and angry at the best of times.
except an elder asked me on thursday night if i can start giving a ride to a disfellowshipped woman because she lives near me and nobody else from the hall lives in my village.
it seems the elder and his family who have been giving this woman a ride for the past six months can no longer stomach the time it takes them to go out of their way.. i thought all normal publishers weren't to have any contact with disfellowshipped people?

Would't this put you in a precarious situation with the rest of the cong? They will assume you are speaking to the df'd person and by association you will also become a bit of a leper?

conversation with a JW about the sun
by neat blue dog injw: didn't we just hear somebody say that the sun's gonna blow up?.
me: well, they were saying that it will expand and eventually burn out.. jw: but it can't do that, it just keeps blowing up inside and getting more power.. me: well, they were talking about stars in general, how they have a life span.. jw: but god didn't make it that way, it's firmly established to time indefinite.
it's not like the sun is a regular star.

Please explain!
by Freedom rocks inhi please can someone explain this in laymans terms for me coz i be ever got it as a jw and still don't.
it doesn't make sense to me.
bible chronology indicates that god’s kingdom was established in heaven in 1914. this is shown by a prophecy recorded in chapter 4 of the bible book of daniel.. overview of the prophecy.

I can't even get past this, "Bible chronology indicates that God’s Kingdom was established in heaven in 1914". "Bible chronology" says no such thing.

I thought they weren't supposed to show 'honor' to any human? that is part of the reason they don't do birthdays so as not to show undue honor to a person. Do I have this wrong?
(also birthdays are not in the bible or bad things happen on b-days, so they say, never mind Job celebrating)
"We do not idolize well-known representatives" - Aren't there pictures somewhere of the gb autographing bibles? wouldn't that be 'idolizing'? r&f would be proud to show off their autographed bible. No different than getting autographs from entertainers or sports personalities.
