  This has nothing to do with gun laws. If you are hell bent on getting a gun to commit a crime, you can do it. No law in the world can stop that. Same with illegal drugs. If you want them, you can get them.

  In regards to this matter, its really unfortunate that this kid killed an innocent man and that the org will not do a thing to help his family other than tell them to pray more and continue to go out in field service.

  @ WingCommander,

  You are right about that! You and I are about the same age. Growing up in the 1980's and early 1990's, there was NO WAY that I would get old. Well, I'm settling into my 40's. While not old, I am older than I thought I would ever get.

  my brother ( who is an elder ) tries very hard to get me back to the meetings.

  he calls me every time he and his son ( he's also an elder) give a public talk.

  they send me the zoom i.d.

  2. bible

  i remember back in the 80s almost every awake and watchtower magazine, think all, hade an article about how bad and evil catholic church was.

  what happened to all the bashing?

  was it because people in catholic countries got offended?

  Have you ever been on a congregation picnic?

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  were you ever on a congregation picnic?

  i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".

  well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.

  Growing up in Pennsylvania, I remember going to congregational picnics all the way up through the 1990's. They were fun. So the Org did what the Org usually does: eliminate activities that bring the flock too much fun.

  it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.

  i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.

  the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.

  Struggling to find a purpose

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i spent most of my life in the org.

  we were taught that our purpose in life was to serve jehovah.

  that never really made sense to me, but it was still a purpose to keep going.

  I appreciate everyone's input and viewpoints. I never really thought about a "purpose" until after I escaped the org's sphere of influence and got divorced. I remember sitting in my easy chair not too long after my (ex)wife and stepson moved out. That's then I really began to wonder about purpose, getting older, happiness, etc.
