well, if the local elders or C.o would simpy state openly to the congregation whats going on there wouldnt be any gossip huh? After all the congregation belongs to everybody, why dont they all have a right to know??
whats the bible say ? take the matter to the CONGREGATION, and let everyone hear it out. no more guessing and judging wrongly.
no more secrets....
ill tell ya, i can use some of that right now, im hurting after over working today.
obviously they feel a window washer job is a job anyone can do anywhere in he world .
and makes great money, yea right.. so what are all those 'approved jobs?'.
add to the list of any and all building skills, cleaning type jobs.
many years ago the cong i was attending had two elders that worked shift work and one mini servant, the CO came and told them to find new jobs or looe their privlages.
well they all were so close to retiement had great benefits, had mortgages and did not want to risk loosing the years required to get other union type benefits, they wisely stayed put.
they all chose to loose the privlages. but im not sure they did, there was no one to take thier places.
these men made decent money, and couldnt find closer jobs at their age that would be daylight. theres few good jobs up in that area.
in fact what lucky ducks get a day shift job anymore? what dfference does it make if you work shifts these days? so many halls have more than one cong so theres always a way.
If they would have all quit their jobs, that congregation would have been closed, they were the ones who made the most money and basically kept the place running.
that about says it, and so, then, if we do the things, theres still hope, lol!
i got a call today from jw relative, wondering why i haven't answered correspondance.. no, i haven't called or written some jws in my life for a while.
i have chosen to not respond, or not quickly respond, to their inquiries.
yes, i've even blocked some from my social media and e-mail accounts.
my mother has this weird belief that satan blesses his own.
ponder that...
she cant comprehend how 'worldly people' can be happy, she thinks behind the fake happyness and 'fake lives' they are longing for 'true' happyness and the 'truth' will seth them free.
its a very bent view of the world they have.
she had once got into preachy mode with my daughter, and my daughter said to her 'granma, im happy why do you think im not happy?'
my mom replied 'because your having all these health and financial problems'
my daughter just sat there with a blank expression on her face trying to think of how to come back on that one, because we have NEVER not known a jw who isnt struggling major time with health and financial problems! who doesnt have those problems at one time or another?
in fact almost ALL the ones my mom including my mom have such a low income they barely get to go anyplace or do anything and are on food stamps. they all live paycheck to paycheck and half if not more of the ones my mother knows eat anti depressants for breakfast.
now if satan 'blesses his own', why then are jws not getting all the blessing from God? shouldnt they all be blessed with good jobs and cars and good health? and wonderful freinds?
they are simpy jealouse and cant get over the fact that everyone cant think like them. its disturbing, because we all thought it .
I think our minds certainly DO need made over.
obviously they feel a window washer job is a job anyone can do anywhere in he world .
and makes great money, yea right.. so what are all those 'approved jobs?'.

after all there needs to be a list, they cant have jws making thier own career choices and
then feeling guilty they have a better job than the next person
,lol.

this congregtion musnt be too small to have 7 elders, were i live the three congs im familiar with have maybe three or 4 at best, to have 7 elders
that must be a larger congregation. i know who the co is if indeed he is the greek co,
a jw from the local hall,and his wife actually was at my door friday morning,inviting me to the talk today, he just finished vitsiting my moms hall.
I know who would know why that went down but im way out of the loop. but, if i get any gossip from my mom, [not asked for thats for sure,]
ill keep u posted.
hello to all.. i need help finding a quote written in an article not sure if it was awake or watchtower.. it may have been the years 68' or 69 but i remember distinctly that it mentioned 1975 was approaching very quickly and that it was not time to be fooling around with jesus' words about no one knowing the date or the hour.. thanks!.
.
wow! now thats the second truly BRAZEN thing ive read this week from them!
just ignore the bible why dont they!
my wife and i are thinking about moving to central tn somewhere between crossville and cookeville.
maybe even as far west to lebanon or as far east to hariman.
things have changes so much for us in the last 6 months we would like to live were it is a little warmer with lots of wild herbs for my wife who is a herbalist and for me so i can garden more.
my son lives in the nashville tn outskirts, he says its pretty nice, Iwent down to see him and he took me to a cute little town called franklin, just outsde of nashville, that franklin reminds me a little of the franklin in pa. cute walking around town sort of town.
we also went to the opreyland hotel, to see the inside gardens, really cool.
the tax in tn is 10 percent on everything, but they have no income tax, nashville is only a few hrs from louisville. stuff is fairly similar in price as in pa.
there are many new jobs availiable in and around nashville, so its worth a look.
i submitted a letter to the local k hall, explaining that i no longer believe my baptism as a jw is valid, based on my current bible knowlege.
and i wish to be no longer considered a baptised [in this organization], jw, but simply a christain who studies the bible.. and then would continue to attend meetings?.
they couldnt prevent me, its open to the public.. .
have no intention of doing anything, just fading i hope.
