Hi BOC; Ask her if she feels a warning of impending doom given for over a century has any validity. Remind her that in Jesus' prophesy of the "last days" that time period in Jerusalem lasted only 37 years well within a generation. That meant that those who heard his warning were still alive to benefit from it. Keep asking these types of questions. She needs to come to the correct conclusions on her own.

Hi Riks; My ex-wife's family is from Copenhagen. Maybe you knew the Brogaard's. Always loved those 3 hr. dinners when they visited us in NY. I've learned to stay away from aquavit. I suspect the Danes distill this stuff from herring.

2. Jesus' hasn't begun to reign in Kingdom
3. True religion has not arrived
4. You're actually a part of "Babylon the Great"
5. Last generation hasn't even started yet
6. You will grow old & die
7. You've wasted thousands of hours of your life for nothing serving a manmade religion
8. Have a nice day.

Oh, I forgot to mention I got remarried on Valentine's Day. Immediate family really took a burn to that. Have to hand it to my Mom. Even though a diehard witness, she came to my wedding.

Got Df'd after leaving a intolerable marriage. Remarried a wonderful girl. Will be celebrating our 5th anniversary next Feb. I'm viewed by family still in as an "apostate" so most everyone I knew in 4 local congregations avoid me like the plague. I do enjoy watching them squirm when I see them Sat. morning in the donut shop "witnessing".

Having been in for 50 yrs. I always go back for the funeral talks of old " friends" & family. I especially enjoy the ones for the elders on the JC that kicked me out.

Former Elders? What did you not like about serving as an elder?
by JakeM2012 ina few of my pet peeves were:.
the po/cobe knowing that he needed to have an elders meeting after the meeting but not telling any other elders.
humm, but his wife knew.

Having to put up with the assertive elders by playing politics. As a kid, we met at one elder's house for the "Babylon the Great" book study. ( Remember that gem?) He heated with wood. The house was at least 90 degrees at every study. He had a Volkswagon sedan we took out in service in the winter. Froze my ass right off. God, how I miss field service, meetings, committees, assemblies, the arrogance, the deceit, the fear.....
