  What Term Can Replace "Publisher" ?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  indulge the possibility that, as profits from printed materials become thinner, watchtower might want to stop having members carry printed materials to the homes of many.

  i know it will probably go through more phases of "cheapening" the materials (softcover books, pamplets instead of brochures, flyers instead of pamphlets) but let's consider the idea that they will one day cease delivering anything printed.. the door-to-door work is huge in controlling members and monitoring loyalty.

  pioneers are their biggest supporters.

  in just a few hours i will be heading back to the dallas area for a 10 day visit with the family.

  i am returning to the scene of the crime where i apostasized just over 19 years ago.

  it will be great seeing many of my friends but i always wonder how many of my ol' jw co-horts are still towing the line.. have a great saturday!!

  new to JWN

  by Brad Wilson in

  2. friends

  have been a member of jwr since 2008 and have not been to hall since june 2009, have celebrated 2 yrs without memorial - woohoo - that being said i have stopped by here frequently and decided yesterday to join your group.. it has been very enjoyable to read your stories as well as the other group i have been with, and so it just seemed reasonable to belong to both.. my story is no differant than all the others, the only thing is i was not born in.

  that being said i also have no real issues with being an apostate (although i do believe it is used in the perjorative sense by the wt).. peace - brad.

  You are all wicked Apostates!!!

  this is nothing new obviously, i'm just using this as a sounding board to see if i'm looking at this thing correctly.

  your thoughts are greatly appreciated.. watchtower july 15, 2011 p 15 paragraph 4 under the title "will you heed jehovah's clear warnings?".

  4 to elders of the ephesus congregation, paul said: from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things.

  My uncle has died.

  by LouBelle in

  2. friends

  last week wednesday at about 11:40 pm, on a cold and rainy night, my uncle breathed his last breath.

  he was at hospice and he was alone.

  alone because the whole family was there the previous night saying their goodbyes.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after my brother passed away in september of 2010 i started smoking again.

  at first i would hide the fact from my wife's dad by burning a cigar candle and making sure the ashes and butts were not in plain sight.

  but as time went on i just said to eff it.

  The way I see it Jesus must have had a wife at some point

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the jesus figure in the bible, accross almost all christian denominations, is one of redemption for humankind.

  the way that jesus accomplishes that redemption, however, differs between them.

  according to the gospels god, or god's son, lived a man's life and died as a man in redemption of mankind.

  Prediction: Expect a change in Study Edition distribution

  by baltar447 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all the hoopla over the "mentally diseased" stuff, i'm making a prediction.

  i expect that the borg will stop distributing the koolaid wt online, at least to where anyone can download it.

  i expect that they will require the jws to create logins and passwords to access the study edition, somehow tying that that back to what congregataion you're in and maybe even an elder approving that you attend.
