My Questions to ACTIVE family member.. (Getting there......)
by MissConfused inso few days back i got a scary email about my fading.. just thought of playing a dumb and asking some 'interesting (which other-wise can be termed as foolish, as i care a darn)' question to that very person who just got aware of our fading..... ******************************start of the mail**********************************.
i was reading this through and doing research in wt publications (jw.org), i was a bit confused on the article below.. who is the faithful and discreet slave?8.
why is it fitting that the faithful slave be made up of anointed christians?.

by MissConfused inletter from a close family member... need help responding.... what a powerful illustration of the affect that our choice of friends can have on us, especially if we leave jehovah after being 'raised' by him from infancy!.

Special Pioneers in 'Third World' Countries
by A question ini have heard that the allowance for special pioneers in poor, third world countries is enough that they actually have a standard of living or income higher than many in the general population around them.
(not that they need to be as poor as everyone else though, that would not help them get those hours in either.).
has anyone else heard of or seen this?

My sister almost died.
by redvip2000 inever since i was a little boy i've been aware of this vague story about my older sister having some issues at birth, but never knew the details.. yesterday i was having a conversation with a much older cousin, who is a non-practicing jw about different watchtower issues.
while discussing the blood issue she totally came out with the story about my sister, which i never knew before.. when my sister was born some 40 years ago, my mother had the delivery at home with the help of a midwife.
i'm not entirely sure why this decision was made instead of going to a hospital.

Former Unbaptized Publisher, New Here
by GloomySunday informer unbaptized publisher, here.. i'm new to the forums and have hesitated for months to join this forum.
i was raised in a jw family, and was never baptized, because one of my parents didn't think i should be baptized early.. my mother became inactive, but i eventually went back for social contact, eventually starting a study.
i raised a few questions, only to find that the conductor would get irritated and defensive when my questions would get deeper into the topic.

Happiness/unhappiness
