  The Social Structure in the Congregation

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

  to say that jesus said his followers should all be on equal footing, it's incredible how much the r&f witness is not on equal footing.

  the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:

  Describe Yourself Without Being Revealing.

  by Golf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i told kl, i'm not sabotaging her thread, mine has a twist, for example, my wife 'descibes' me best by always reminding that i'm not 'normal.

  ' this means i do things differently than the ordinary person as i'm into many activities.

  many of these activities involve people.

  do you think that the better the job that you have or the higher the social standing you have, makes it more likely that you will be an elder in comparison to those that are less fortunate???

  Help Finding a Book

  by rwagoner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am trying to find a copy of the old pink "paradise book".

  i remember having one as a kid growing up and seeing some of the pictures in it.

  i can't help but think that some of those images started the fear and guilt in me as a child and would like to show my wife (a non jw) so she might better understand how i could have stayed in as long as i did.. she hears me talk now and can't imagine how i could have believed such a pile of bunk or how my parents still can't see how totally crazy some of the "truth" sounds.
