Happy 30 Year Anniversary to Caliber & Hope 4 Others - True Love
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
it's not often in the rush of every day life that we acknowledge the really good accomplishments that mean something .

when a couple has stayed together and experienced the ups and downs together in love and life- i have always felt it is a worthy accomplishment !

so on that note i'd invite everyone to join me in a toast tonight to a fine jwd couple who are celebrating their " 30th" year together this weekend.

could jw's prove their beliefs without watchtower literature?
by atpeace in

2. bible
i was pondering this question today.

i thought it might be an interesting tactic to use with my family.

if i simply asked that they prove all beliefs by the bible alone.. growing up - every time discipline or counsel was given - it was based on getting out the bound volumes.

today is our silver wedding anniversary!

we were such good, active witnesses......we are happier now as a couple.

Hello everyone! New here. Born into it....ugh.

where to start?.

i thought about typing out a nutshelled life history but changed my mind.

suffice it to say, i was born into "the truth," attempted suicide at 14, "lost my faith" at this time, beat into submission into carrying on as usual, endured a horrible marriage and equally horrible divorce, and am more or less still in it (appearances only!

i was reviewing the following youtube video about the blood issue with jws.. .

at around 2 minutes the issue arose about how jws were able to become a registered church in bulgaria that the jws agreed not to preach the blood doctrine.

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
is indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.

not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.

reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..
