I almost missed this poem! :-(
But my new way of reading the Board is to start at page 4, so I don't miss so much good stuff.
Thanks, Mulan. I'll be saving this one.

I'm glad everyone liked it so much. My friend who sent it to me, got it on the internet somewhere, so it's on someone's website. If anyone here knows the author, let me know, so I can credit them.

great poem. I will see if i can print it or re type it and give it too my husband. he will like it. The titles are a big emphasis in our congregation. we stopped going for a few months now. I was a pioneer for a year, and boy were my eyes opened. IT's like once you have a title, you are to keep climbing higher like your climbing the corporate ladder in the business world. and then at the assemblies and conventions the only people worthy of giving a talk have a title and they have to announce the title and how long they've had that title. we were also tired of the way the pioneers and elders mapped out our life in their eyes, what we need to do to win their approval, not Jehovahs. they think these titles matter and will get them to the new world faster before anyone else, but they forget that Jehovah doesn't look at titles, but the heart. The title lovers will find out soon enough. We didnt' know there were that many other people who felt similar to us. this poem says it all...
