Greetings Xena:
I agree, thanks for your kind words. I have to admit, I am very nervous going back into the lion’s din.......I know I can expect nothing but contempt from the “brothers” I once served with.....

Well, after one year of “Dissociating” ourselves, my wife an I are going back to the Kingdom Hall! No, we don’t want back in. A very dear friend has passed away (she happened to be the wife of our PO). After we Da’ed ourselves, she would still contact us from time to time to see how we were doing. This meant a lot to us after leaving. We feel since she visited us that we should at least show our respect for her friendship and attend the funeral.
I once gave a funeral talk as an Elder and I was struck by the notice at the bottom of the WT outline that stated, “Do not eulogize the deceased...” but instead talk about the hope (still have the outline somewhere in my meeting bag). Man that bothered me, this was a time to reflect on the life of a good friend, to share stories. However, the WT still wants a 45 min “info commercial” on their teachings! I still obtained info on the brother and shared with the attendees (a lot were non-dub relatives and co-workers).
I will let you know how I am received (?) Or tolerated at the service this Saturday.........

Only J.w's will survive the big A
by toddy inmy question is,if it is true that only j.w's will survive then surely everybody on the planet should at least get the option of becoming a witness,but there are people living in remote parts of the world who rarely come into contact with civilisation,im pretty sure there are still small tribes of people living in some rainforest who haven't even been discovered yet,where do theses people fit in,do they just perish like the rest of us?.
sorry if this is a daft question,been on the guinness all night!

Paul stated that each one of us will stand before our master, each one, for our deeds. As an individual, not as a group or membership into something.

Should I send a letter to the CO?
by Sirona insome of you may remember that when i joined this forum i was having problems at home regarding the un issue.
everything appears to have settled down now and i promised my mum that i wouldnt mention it again to her.
however, looking back at the events around that time, i feel that the circuit overseer not only made it difficult for me, but also for my mother.

Include a copy of the UN’s letter stating that the WT did withdrawal and send a copy to the WTBTS.

How many do you know like this?
by crownboy ina bethelite brother gave a public talk at our hall a couple weeks ago.
one part of the talk focused on "putting kingdom interest first".
he gave examples of how some gave up material comfort so they could pursue the ministry.

Oh yea, Brother Herold Tabert, owned Tabert’s Magnavox in Downey, CA. Sold his business in 1973 so he could pioneer (1975 was comming up fast!). Sad to say, Armageddon was delayed and they were broke. At 55, he had to go to work for the people he sold the business to, fixing radios, etc.,.

Zero Tolerance Versus Namby Pambying.
by Englishman ini don't humour jehovah's witnesses anymore.
i don't care if they label me 'apostate' or whatever, it's just great to be completely open and honest whenever i come across one.. "what do you think of this business with the wtbts being part of the un, eh?
" causes some consternation.. "that whole generation thing being tied into 1914 turned into a real farce, didn't it?
