  so i am, i guess technically an apostate.

  never baptized, family all in and treat me fine since leaving home/wt over 30 years whenever i see them.

  discovered the ttat by reading kingdom of the cults and catching an episode of the john ankerberg show when i was 18.. in the past 4 years i have "helped" two people ( a father and son) get reinstated.

  Congregation Pledge Disgusted Elder

  by rrb2016 in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  at the meeting the other night, the elder who had to read the announcements, which included the $$ info for the new donation arrangement seemed downright disgusted as he read the announcements and asked for the vote.

  he said, "well, here is another organizational change" as he read the letter about the discontinuation of the 2nd meeting during co visit.

  then after they voted, he said if you have any questions ask this other elder as if he wanted nothing to do with it.

  this site is probably one of the most informative jw sites on the internet.

  if you want to keep abreast of the watchtower, this is a great place to find out the latest in jw land.

  kudos to simon for keeping it going all these years!!!

  They are i- Pad Nutty Now

  by Poztate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many at my wife's hall have rushed to buy i-pads,androids etc for use in servicetm and at the hall.. most know little or nothing about how to use them but have joined the stampede to jw.org tm and the reinvention of the wtbts.. it prompted one elder at my wife's hall to have a seminar at his house to explain how to use them in service and at the hall.. how exciting.... one 80 year old pioneer woman will be there with her new toy.. as a distraction it seems to be working quite well.

  no need to worry about 1914 or other issues.. they are all nuts and getting nuttier....

  Creative ways of counting field service time

  by 4thgen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a sister in my congregation that signed up to aux pioneer one month to put in 60 hours.

  we couldn't figure out why she was never at the arrangements, but yet she said she got in her time early in the month.

  we found out later that we wrote a letter that took her an hour.

  Eccentric Jehovah's Witnesses

  by snowbird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so as not to hijack logcon's thread about crazy things jw's have said to householders, i'd like to start one about just plain old odd jw's.. for example, i knew this dear, dear senior brother who would carry a small bag of peanuts in one pocket of his suit coat and a small plastic bag of brown sugar in the other.. during that time, we would stay out all day long because the territory was extensive.. can't you just picture that precious soul alternately tossing a few peanuts/crumbs of sugar into his mouth as he schlepped from house to trailer, from trailer to house?.

  the householders would usually offer us water, lemonade, kool-aid, or soda pops, so no problem with finding something to quench our thirsts.. those were the days!.

  sylvia.

  Do you think not having the book study in private homes has had much effect?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been a few years since the organization ended the book study arrangement in private homes.. gone was the last opportunity to have tea and biscuits and a natter with the friends afterwards.. do you think people regret losing the book study?

  for some, it may have been the only time they were able to get some "associaton".
