  The Official What happened at the Memorial thread

  by truthseeker in

  i thought rather than everyone start their own topic relating their experience of attending the memorial, we keep it simple and have just one thread.

  if anything, it's saves bandwidth.. i will be going to the memorial tonight and will post my experiences afterwards.. all the other memorials i attended, i was an active jw, so this will be my first experience as a submarine witness.

  it's weird being on the other side so to speak.

  just recently before the book study was cancelled, a young man started coming into my mom's home for the same.

  she was alarmed and asked the elders, to please have him go to the kh for the study.

  they ignored her worries and he continued to attend at her home.

  i was asked what i thought when i saw all the bad things going on in the world and about how close we are to the end.

  i replied "jeff, i simply do not believe that it's going to happen in my life time.

  " he was momentarily stunned and said "well, when have things ever been this bad before?

  i have some great neighbors...spanish on both sides of me, and down the street.

  their homes are very nice and the yards are kept up....but there is the strangest thing.

  they love to put big wooden posts in the middle of their beautiful lawns with the most hideous kmart type night lighting fixtures you have ever scene.

  my wife's been having mental problems since hurting her back at work...we split for 8 weeks {her doing} then she rings me and says she "can't cope and is lonely" so i return {the drama continues} she seems more stable, sleeping all night...what a change!

  her mood had become alittle more stable.

  she found a part time job, and has not been dragged off by security like her last job...much improved though she dropped 10 kilos in weight.

  "Something in the congregation is hindering the flow of Jehovah's holy spirit" - witch hunt JW style?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else experienced something like this?.

  in my mother-in-law's congregation a special pioneer was recently moved to the congregation and he gave a talk where he said he and the other elders felt there was a bad spirit in the congregation and there must be something going on that is preventing jehovah's holy spirit from operating properly.

  but he didn't state explicity what the problem might be and now gossip is rife in the congregation about whether there might be a sinner or a traitor in their midst.. for many this is just the excuse they need to gossip and bad mouth others.
