If I could go back to 1974
by Quarterback ini was very young back then, and can remember telling everyone at school, family, and all my worldly friends that the world would end in just another year.
now after reading the latest july wt, and reviewing all the updates, i can't help but wonder what effect i would have if i told members of my faith that armeggeddon, wouldn't come that year.
the fds has two appointments, 1st in 1919, and then 2nd after the gt.

If I could go back in time I would make two other trips. One to the early 1880's to enlighten C.T. Russel of what his misdirected MONSTER turned into, and
then to early 1900's to beat the krap out of Rutherford in a New York Alley. Oh, I'd
probably have to return in 1917 and beat the krap out of Rutherford again.

Has anyone else observed how the elderly JWs are neglected?
by Joepublisher1 ini know there are exceptions to this (by good-hearted jws), but has anyone else noticed how some jws (even those who are pios, elders, etc.
) neglect the needs of their elderly parents?
(what i have seen is some jws hiding behind the fact that they are very busy in spiritual matters, too busy, to help their elderly parents with chores around their house, yet they find plenty of time for their own selfish pursuits.

Could it be in some of the situations mentioned above of "elders" and their families not taking care of their mothers or fathers needs that it is "like payment" in return? I know of some parents who ignored their children/teenagers to knock on doors pioneering. Years go by, and the children that are now adults, conveniently "repay" mom the same cards she dealt her own sons and daughters. Karma is sometimes a (wicked saying).
Seems to me that the root of the problem is the dysfunctional family teachings from WTBTS. If WTBTS stopped demanding in the name of GOD all attention and time and energy from their worshipers through fear and guilt, and stopped keeping their followers occupied from sun up to mid-night working on their organizational garbage, that families could return to the more "natural" familial love. Bottom line is that WTBTS "mother" organization is more demanding, louder in their demands, exerts more force for their demands, and is so overbearing that active witnesses can't see or hear their own family obligation.

For me personally, The probability of an accident involving someone texting while driving is greater than having an accident with someone drinking and driving.

" Reminds me of Oral Roberts telling his TV audience that he needed 8 million dollars or God would take him away."
Years ago, My family bought some Oral Roberts records, but the hole kept healing up and we could never listen to them.

Searching for Watchtower about working for / with disfellowshipped person
by confusedandalone inevening,.
i wanted to know if anyone knows which watchtower articles speak about working with or for a disfellowshipped person.
it would appear that there is now a huge witch hunt regarding this because of my recent situation.

Confused and alone, I'm sorry to hear your latest problems, but thankful that you keep us updated.
As noted before, I have seen this before, the elders get into this mind set of you will be ruled or we will ruin you. Rule or Ruin.
If the witchhunt is continueing and workers are leaving, personally I would immediately start searching for new employees. Again, sorry about your worries.

Serious question: Can a Jehovahs Witness join a democratic non-religious organisation? If it's not political, can they vote?
by The Quiet One ine.g a nonprofit organisation that helps people, that requires its members to vote.
is all voting evil and wrong, even if it's not a political party?.
