  Local needs: 40% of the congregation are irregular at meetings

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, our local needs talk was a bit out of the ordinary - normally it's something mundane like improving bible studies.. after harping on about the good things the congregation is doing, we got to the meat.. there are 100 publishers in the cong - 40% of them are irregular meeting attenders.. the elder said that those who are irregular at meetings are also irregular on field service.. he also said the elders would continue to shepherd these ones, yet most of us never get as shepherding call.. he said that those who've lost their joy feel this way because they don't fellowship often enough and lack appreciation for sacred things.. there are those who are liberal, manifest an independent spirit and have worldly associations.. he even said that those who need to hear this counsel are those who are missing.. .

  oh well.

  i suppose it's good news..

  Guilt trips! That's another reason for me to leave that un-loving cult.

  I have more fun at home than going to another meeting.

  When You Were a JWD Newbie - Were You Shown a Warm Welcome ?

  one thing we all have in common - everybody who started posting on jwd , were all " new " posters in the beginning on this board.

  so take yourself back in time for a minute - how were you received here ?

  did people welcome you warmly ?

  i don't talk about this much here cuz this is a place where i can somewhat relieve the stress of my life but my hubby isn't doing very well.

  Sorry to hear about your husband MrsJ. I would suggest finding a second opinion.

  It does have similar symptoms of MS but could be something completely different.

  I hope you all the best.

  i posted this in my profile but since i've never formally introduced myself, i thought i would print it here as well as my official "hello" message.

  i am currently an active jw.

  i don't want to be but the situation i am in doesn't allow me to do anything differently.

  What will you do when the Great Tribulation Begins?

  by Malkiel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've always wanted to ask this question to those that have decided to leave the organization.. what will you do when the great tribulation begins?.

  right now folks, a lot is happening in the political world.. gordon brown (prime miniter of england) last week gave a speech to the un stating that it is time for the un to step in and solve the world's problems, (specifically mentioning the economy and hunger crisis worldwide.).

  barrack obama is shaping up to be the next president, a fellow who sure knows how to persuade and lead great crowds.
