Its been a few years now since my niece and her two boys visited my wife and I as they were leaving the town we are living in to go where the need is great? They never even visited her mother or stepfather when leaving.

And we never hear anything more from her when these articles about returning to the Borg come out.I`m sure while she lived here she let the Elders know we were JW`s and that I was an MS and just don`t attend anymore.

However we have never had a shepherding call from any of the Elders in the 14 years we have been living here.

I might add that in the mid 70`s we did live here for a year and attended this congregation before we moved interstate and joined another congregation.

Do you ever get the feeling , what`s wrong with me ? Why haven`t they tried to get me back in ? LOL

i might have missed this but blondie was always one of the best posters here.

her analysis and commentary was spot on.. is everything ok with her?

.

Distancing herself from the Watchtower and wanting nothing more to do with it I can fully understand .

However cutting herself off from so many here who consider her a true friend I find a bit disappointing.

Its like Blondie is shunning all of us without any explanation that I find so sad.

Honest assessment of my life

by silent3 in

my old account was silent and i had to create a new account which kind of bums me, but here i am.. over the years i've really experienced some rough times emotionally and spiritually which led me down many paths.

being angry most all of time with a few outbursts really started to make me take stock of what was wrong with me.

further i started really going back and trying to figure out where i went wrong.. so i revisted all my previous posts on here.

I feel sorry for his wife and /or children if he`s got any with that grovelling as a display of his spiritual headship .

Well Jehovah`s Celestial Chariot has bogged down ,so there is not that much Nu-lite floating around now.

Jesus Christ has been ruling in Heaven since 1914 and we are all still wondering WTF has he been doing these past 106 years .?

You an Aussie ? ( mate ) just wondering.

Tony the turd bought a lot of top shelf whiskey . A couple hundred bucks worth.

Dress up for meetings in your own home with a badge I.D. for Zoom meetings ?? WTF ?

If you haven`t checked out the videos of the ARC into Institutions of Child Sex Abuse case`s 29 and 54 relating to Jehovah`s witnesses do yourself a favor and watch it.

That`s just for starters.

Take care buddy.

Just wanting confirmation on an unofficial JW experience

by joe134cd in

just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this unofficial jw experience that my father received by email.

i’ve told him that it against wt rules to forward unofficial accounts.

but of course he just puts that down to apostate driven lies.

All Memorial Attendance Data

by hipolito in

hi friend.. i want to ask you to do me the next favor.. if any of you have the following data or file on the following topic: "all memorial attendance data from 1896 to 2016".. if one of you knows about it or has the file in excel, i will really appreciate it.. thank you..

smiddy3

I`m curious Hipolito what the reason is why are you requesting this Memorial Attendance Data for all of these years ?

My thinking is along the lines of ,that for so many decades the WT society was teaching that the numbers of those who claimed to be of the Anointed would decrease year by year until there would only be a few Anointed left on the earth when the GT and Armageddon finally came .

But Lo and Behold ,the opposite has been the case with the numbers of those claiming to be of the Anointed going up in leaps and bounds.

I think the lowest it ever got was about 8,000 for a few years some time ago and at last count it had jumped up to over 20,000 .

Of course I could be completely wrong LOL .

According to the Bible God has used various means / systems in his dealings with & communicating with humans.

In Eden with Adam it was a more personal one on one approach ?

Then it was the patriarchal ? ,then Judges ,then Kings and Prophets etc ,not in any particular order in the latter stages ,but you get what I mean.

And then with the arrival of Jesus it was the "Christian system of things" of how he was dealing with those who chose to worship him.

A time period which would extend from the time of Christ Jesus until he hands everything back to God when his One Thousand year reign ends .

And it is then that Jesus Christ is, or proves to be Lord to the Glory of GOD the Father .

However during this Christian System of things Jesus is the one ,the only one to acknowledge and worship to gain Gods approval .

According to the Bible.

Parents of Sarah Kellen, Ghislaine Maxwell's 'lieutenant', are JW's. Fear df'd daughter will be charged in Epstein case

by AndersonsInfo in

"parents of ghislaine maxwell's 'lieutenant' sarah kellen worry their daughter will be arrested and charged in epstein's child sex trafficking ring, as they claim teen was 'brainwashed.

quote: but with concerns mounting over her behavior, kellen was disfellowshipped, a disciplinary sanction whereby she was expelled from the church and ostracized by its members, including her own family.‘it was all handled out there.

it’s very private, there’s a committee that meets and they go over everything.

They call her their “prodigal” daughter. Well then get out on the road and welcome her back!

So true zophar ,do they even think about what they said ?

The father of the "Prodigal Son" never laid conditions and restrictions upon him before welcoming him home.

His love for his son was unconditional .
