You said you don't celebrate holidays. Maybe reconsider birthdays. Jobs sons celebrated birthdays according to Job 1:4 and Job 3:1. The bible doesn't say a word against it.

Good luck... you will find some new friends.

Seventeen-and-a-half glorious minutes with the irrepressible Mr Lett

When a brother goes on stage at an international convention, every detail what he says and how he looks like is monitored.

If a gb member like Lett is giving a talk in a video, even more every little detail has a meaning. Like the pillars in the background or even his tie.

During that video he shows many times his big 'pinky' ring on his right little finger.

What the hell is that ring supposed to mean?

In the 50s to 70s it was a sign for homosexuality.

Or I also read somewherw it could be a sign for intelligence.

Whatever the meaning, this video shows plain clear how intelligent this fellow is.

I am wondering what the thousands in attendance of the international conventions think personally of that clown.

the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

Recent Visit with my Wife's Family

by Imminent1975 in

i have been inactive for going on five years after an accerated fade.

my wife followed shortly after.

we recently went to visit her parents that know that we don't go to the meetings, and it bothers them but they don't know what to do, as they really can't do much.

Shunning Makes us Joyful - Another Blast on Jehovah's Trumpet

by cofty in

like all the best comedy this is hilarious and agonising in equal measure.. if you have not bookmarked the jehovah's trumpet blog do it now.. shunning makes us joyful .... "fiends, we are the happiest people on earth because of true worship, and this includes the practice of shunning our closest loved ones...".

Now I read some other jehovahstrumpet blogs.

Great satire.

Just hilarious the stoey about the conjoined twins.

As I read it, I just thought it's a joke, satire.

Now I am confused. Is Jehovah's trumpet satire, or do they mean what they say and are unwillingly satirical?

Blood Transfusions - What are the risks?

Last decembee I told the elders all my reasons why the blood doctrine is wrong and that I would accept blood in an emergency.

In April they asked me officially the loyalty question if I accept that the gb is the fds and that their teaching is from god. I gave them a diplomatic answer.

This week they called me, that from my answer they feel I don't accept fds doctrine. They will call me today to state what effects this will have. I will clearly tell them that I would accept blood for myself and my boy in a matter of life and death.

We will see if there is NO df, NO da, NO consequences for that.

I love my life, I don't want to die

by losingit in

hello everyone..... i've been thinking a lot lately, when i have a chance to be alone my mind immediately comes to the topic at hand-- i don't want to die.

what would happen to my precious little girls?

but i'm so scared that it's going to happen.

Daniel1555

Hi losingit

You seem to be a great mother.

You care and want the best for your children. Go on with this attitude.

Of course, on your shoulders lies a lot of responsibility. This gives you worrysome thoughts and feelings.

We all might one day or the other think about death. Some are really afraid of death. Especially as we come from a JW background and believed about endless life in a paradise, it can be depressing not to know what comes after death.

I can tell you what took my fear of death. I read a lot of accounts about "near death experiences." After reading a lot of personal near death experiences I am not afraid anymore. In fact I really believe now that there is a "personal" creator, god, force of life or whatever you call him. It convinced me that this god is all encompassing unconditional love and he wants us just to show love and compassion in our life. And he cares for you and your children. A heart moving experience of a little boy (Colton) you can read in his account in the book "Heaven is for real" by his father Todd Burpo.

Even though I lost my religion (JW) I didn't loose my faith. I pray to and thank my creator, just in a different way than before as a JW.

I wish you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy. Try to calm down and relax.

i've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.

not well at all.

i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..

Dear Kate, Sam,

I think of you and wish you a lot of strength.

I know how hard it is to be separated from your child.

This will not be permanently. Your children will know what wonderful mum they have.

Love

Daniel
