JW.ORG has competition!!

by sparky1 in

even the mennonites won't be left behind in having an out of date and hard to use website!

this announcement was 2 months ago but still is rather interesting.

"we are pleased to announce that a new mennonite church usa website will be launched over the weekend of july 5-6!

Aren't the Menonites like the Amish? No electricity or 'modern' conveniences? If so, how are they getting internet?

Maybe I'm confused. I think I am now.

Do Witnesses still go door-to-door??

by MsShockJock in

jw
friends

just wondering if they still go door-to-door?

i never see groups of people walking around the neighborhoods all dressed up or out in fastfood restaurants on saturday mornings or groups of people driving around in cars.

Funny you should ask this today.

This afternoon I saw a local JW whom I've known for 30+ years. One of the first words out of her mouth were that this past weekend she did d2d work in our old apartment complex.

Then this evening, my JW sister who lives on the east coast said that she plans to spend at least one morning in service with a local cong while we are on vacation next weekend.

So, as far as my little JW-world is concerned... Yes. They still engage in the door-to-door work.

*sigh*

I'm just so happy that I don't feel obligated to join them. And I don't feel guilty for being happy either.

we all know that beth hell monitors this site.. they have repeatedly had sites shut down for quoting large portions of their litterature.

not this one.. do you think this board enables them to keep a finger on the pulse of what is going on in ex and aposto land?

My wife sees the lack of love and.. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

by BU2B in

jw
friends

in the past few weeks, my wife has been seeing more and more the lack of love and caring from jws.

for example, she is organizing a "princess party" for our 4 year old daughter.

a couple of the parents have expressed reservations about this since they think princesses may be "too magical" even though we know they have been to disneyworld, and watch the disney channel.

I like jgnat's suggestion to remind her the 'jehovah' is not just at the KH. Get her and your daughter out in nature. Do fun things as a family and include others - including non-jw families with young children.

Separation of Powers mentioned my first thought: Maybe try the same princess-themed party with a few classmates or kids in the neighborhood. Keep it very small, like maybe 4 children in total. Let the 'worldly' parents know that is not a birthday party. It's just a 'get-to-know-you' party. Or an end of summer party. Or beginning of school party. I doubt she will get the same 'egg-shell' feeling that she got from the KH.

10 min meeting with all servants after the Tuesday meeting with CO

by Absalom in

jw
friends

is there anyone who is currently appointed who can tell me what this 10 min meeting with the co was about?

he made the announcement that he wants to meet with all appointed men right after the meeting..

AudeSapere

Isn't a 10-minute meeting with Elders and Ministerial Servants standard-operating-proceedure at the beginning of each of visit with the CO??

Seems normal to me. Review agenda & expectations for the week and pass out assignments that will be monitored for progress for the duration of the week.

No? Not standard??

JWs at the Edinburgh Festival

by passwordprotected in

my girlfriend and i took the train through to edinburgh to soak in the atmosphere and catch a few free comedy shows at the fringe festival.. almost immediately i spotted them; jw.org witnesses.. how did i know it was them?.

well, the middle-aged, tall man wearing the suit, shirt and tie was a big clue.

that and the fact that he was holding the hand of a similarly tall, middle-aged woman, dressed in the jw uniform of long skirt, blouse and light summer jacket.

AudeSapere

Aren't you glad that you were there just to partake in all the fun rather than maintain 'the stance', like a good little .org-er?
