  What exactly IS 1914 these days?

  by Halcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's no longer a year tying to the present (the old pre-1995 generation belief).

  realistically, that's the only reason why it mattered.

  and if it doesn't really matter what it is anymore, why would jw not do away with it?.

  If the org. Is being advised by consultants, is a name change in the works?

  let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.

  if they are going more mainstream.

  i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.

  If they take the name "Jehovah" out of their name, that might be a bridge too far.

  Beards vs. Shunning announcements

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during lett’s announcement that beards are now allowed he elaborated at some length how brothers ought to feel and react to the change in policy.

  he warned brothers not to resent not being able to grow beards earlier if they had wished to do so.

  he also warned brothers who supported the old policy not to allow themselves to wonder what the point of doing so was now that it has changed.

  How long will it be before brothers without beards are looked at sideways?

  Fading is better then completely leaving...comments?

  by Witness 007 in

  2. experiences

  i got the internet in my house and realised it's all lies....but as a pioneer/ministerial servant i chose to fade.

  see i had family and friends who were fully strict witnesses.

  so i played the poor lost soul brother who is not sure what's happening.

  I began my fade around 2015. It has worked for me for the most part. But some feel that they have to sever ties completely by getting d'fed. Everyone's situation is different, so to each his own.

  i already have a friend who is trying to tell me that my mental health is causing my disillusionment with the jehovah’s witnesses.

  funny that a mental health therapist has told me my mental health issues are caused by being a jehovah’s witness.

  i’m still not going back.

  Interesting. Since I left, my mental health has been the best it has ever been.

  I used to hate going there. It was always super crowed with limited parking. I guess that's not an issue anymore.

  A Coin With a Remarkable History

  by cofty in

  2. physical

  over the years i have shared a few examples of objects i have found while metal detecting near my home in northumberland in ne england.

  i live in a rural estate that was the site of a medieval village with a manor house and defensive tower.

  many of the things i find illustrate the amazing history of the location.

  cofty,

  I'm an avid coin collector. What you found is pretty amazing!
  

  Under no circumstances should you ever put that coin into the contribution box.

  I was not married in a kingdom hall, but I was married by an elder. The ceremony was on a Saturday. It worked out because the ceremony and reception was all at the same place, just different rooms.

  I’m not a huge fan of attorneys, but in this case, I think you need to talk to one.
