  Inattentive elders...anyone else experience this?

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  everyone always talks about the elders and people in the congregation coming around to see why you aren't at meetings...but i've never experienced this.

  i've been away from the meetings for months, and not one single elder has called me.

  my friends occasionally call me but never bring up my lackluster attendance.

  i'm not a big fan of surgery.

  i always exhaust all non-surgical options before doing it.

  i know enough about medicine to know that surgery is effectively a controlled injury... and that makes me nervous.

  Why is Talking to a Witness so Hard?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here's my take for one of the reasons: jw's perceive anyone who asks the wrong questions as a hater of jehovah and a persecuter.

  they think jesus had them in mind here: .

  john 17: 14. i have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as i am not of the world.

  Who thinks Cannabis/Marihuana should be legalised?

  by lfcviking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think in most countries it is illegal to use this drug, so do you think it should be decriminalised, legalised & taxed, made legal for the medical proffesion or should it remain completely illegal?

  please state your reasons for your choice.. lfcv.

  How Honest Are You Really???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's the scenario: you buy an item and it's on sale for 10% off the original price.

  a new cashier charges you, instead of 10% off, 10 cents!

  this happened to a woman who bought a leather coat among other things and when she reviewed her slip she knew absolutely that the new cashier messed up.

  i know this day would have arrived , sooner or later.. .

  i'm inactive from 1 year now, and i go to the meeting just sometime on the sunday.. but my wife is in a very well standing , and the kids are following her at meeting and service field.. .

  yesteray evening my wife told me that my 2 boys asked the elder to become publisher.. they are 13 and 10 age.. the elder was very polite , and ask my wife to have my opinion regarding this.. i'm going to talk the oldest boy (not taking in consideration the 10 yrs old one).. i would like not to be so drastic and not offend him, but i have to start some point to tell him some truth regarding this organization .. any suggestion ?.
