Violetanai's baptismal party - all invited
by Marilyn inbasically we're all open minded right?
so lets put aside our negative comments and throw a cyber-space send off for violet's up coming baptism into dubdom.
she said she's planning on getting baptised soon and clearly our advice and negative thoughts are hurting her feelings.

Finally a WT prophecy fulfilled?
by Marilyn inso what does the scripture "the love of the greater number will cool off" mean if it's not the big falling away from the wts in the last few years?
btw i don't remember the scriptural context but i have sometimes wondered about it - even though i'm a devout non-believer.. marilyn

additional thoughts
by Marilyn inafter my earlier post i've realised that this is all too complicated.
jws are not as we imagine them to be.
we end up with a really twisted view of them and they of us.

Why do I feel such so bad?
by Marilyn inthis is the deal: i'm disfed as of 1981. i've known the shunning thing all these years.
i have devout jw siblings and my parents are jws but not active or unreasonably devout.
my father is 80 and my mother is 77. my mother has metastatic breast cancer and is currently receiving treatment.. .

Disproportionate attention or an obsession?
by Marilyn intwo things come to mind.
the memorial and the blood doctrine.
with the memorial the witnesses seem to place disproportionate attention and energy on getting people to attend it.

What's the point of the Awake?
by Marilyn inadmittedly it's been a long time since i've read an awake and i can't remember much about what's in it but doesn't it contain a bunch of superficial articles with a general interest theme?
like a poor mans readers digest?
i was recently wondering what the purpose of the awake is?

Emptying the cupboards of litter-ature?
by Marilyn ini'm wondering how many of you took a while to gather up the courage to dispose of your cupboard loads of watchtowers and awakes, that you'd stored away for........safe keeping????.
we probably hung on to ours for a few months and then we burned them.
there was a tinge of apprehension about it, but it was generally a very satisfying activity.
