Do the Elders really care for the DFed ones?
by XxJazzxX in...apparently not enough.... my wife were supposed to meet with the elders saturday.
unfortunately(for her), the brothers cancelled the meeting.
the reason being i dont have a clue, but the way my wife explained it to me was that they had to tend to one of the elder's injury on his leg(she was notified of this the week she turned in that letter so thats not a real excuse because they've had alternatives).

BTW...Jude is the One Hit Wonder of the NWT Bible........
by oompa insee...when appendix 1-d explains that in the christian greek scriptures (new testament) we have "restored the divine name when quoting from the hebrew scriptures"....now when something is quoted it has "quotation marks" ....these """"""""" but it does not explain that it also adds the name whenever it wants too in an effort to show that jesus is not jehovah....so if you read jude...you will see three uses of the name jehovah...and duh...jude vs. 5 is a total add on....not a quote of anything in the hebrew scriptures.....the other two are "quotes" of hebrew passages... now we really should not even put the divine name in there for any reason unless ancient manuscripts have yhwh in them...but none do!!
!...just check you insight book under the jehovah heading...use in the greek scriptures.............love you guys.........oompa.
just gotta share this stuff!...we gotta lotta newbies!..........

Memorial: A Superstitious Event?
by cameo-d inare the elders required to keep a lunation journal?.
it seems to me that all the focus of the moon phase and getting the "exact right time" of the day and year according to the jewish calendar very much overshadows any stories of jesus.
all this full moon fuss seems to me to be an "observance of times" which was a method of divination.. my question is this..... do jws expect something big to happen on memorial one day?

JW's and not having real friends
by Iwonder17 ini have been a jw my whole life and am just realizing now that i have no friends.
the 1 or 2 good friends that i had as a child have since moved away and now i am stuck trying to make friends with people in the hall that i am in that don't want anything to do with me cuz i'm not a ms, elder or pioneer.. it's weird, because i look at facebook or other sites where people talk about their day or what they have been doing and it seems like people "in the world" have a lot of friends and have a good/happy life.. i think that the jw's are so busy with all of the wtbs stuff that they don't have the energy to take time to be friends with others.. i am sad...cuz i don't see a way to get any realy friends as too much of my family is in the "truth" and i'm stuck in it .

Why do you believe in the Trinity?
by JimmyPage ini believe in god but no longer accept the wt's views.
i still find the idea of the trinity hard to accept, however, probably because of my jw upbringing.
a coworker's child died and i attended the church memorial.
