Qualified to be elders?
by Andyman inthis is an issue that really bothers me.
the elders are supposed to be looking after the well being of the congregation.
they are supposed to be helping those in need.

Donations for Literature?
by Andyman ini know that there is a variety of posters here from different places.
i have seen some from canada, the u.s., and australia, and england.

Getting In those Hours!
by Andyman ini have a conversation going on another site about hours and how important they are to a persons standing within the congregation.. one person is trying to say that hours don't mean anything.
that they are not that big of an issue whether you get them in or not.. would anyone here like to comment on that?.

A question on time...
by Andyman insome time back i read something about a new time arrangement involving 15 minutes of time being turned in.
does anyone have the whole story about this?

The 1914 Generation change
by Andyman ini was over on the thread about the blood policy and got to thinking how easy it is to just accept a change and after awhile people even forget all about how important it was at one time.
if the society does change the blood policy how long will it be before it is just accepted, and brothers and siters don't even recall the previous stance on the issue?.
this got me thinking about the change in the 1914 generation.

Are JW's really seperate from the world?
by Andyman ini have done alot of posting on different boards since i started on the internet.
i have found that jw's are really not as "seperate" from the world as they claim to be.. as a jw i was told we had to be "seperate" from the world.
you know, get drunk, use drugs, abuse our families, cheat on taxes, lie, be greedy, etc.. but from what i have seen in my old congregtion, and the stories i have read here and on other boards, this statement isn't really true.

The Calgary blood issue
by Andyman inhas anyone been on jw sites where they are discussing this issue?.
i have been reading the remarks over at the touchstone board, and it's enough to make one sick!.
this poor man who is trying to save his child is being torn apart by a bunch of self rightous jw's who only care about his following the rules of the "organization"!.
