Do you believe in an annointed class?
by irondork in

regarless of their identity - in fact, if they are really "discreet" their identity should probably remain unknown - do you believe the bible speaks of a spirit annointed class of folks, a limited number of humans that have been called to heaven to serve with jesus?.

How would I explain Rev 5:9? Put down the storybook and step away from the Kingdom Hall. Rent a good movie and anoint a bowl of popcorn with butter and enjoy. Rule over the livingroom with justice and snacks.

I hate preachers and thier self exalting bullshit. They get a rush out of people looking at them and listening to them get "so fired up!". Glad it floats your boat. I'm sure the basket really filled up after the Laminin Cross was shown. Jesus was crucified on a laminin cross, amazing! Give me a fricken break.

"In this system of things"
by Sour Grapes in

it just drives me freakin crazy when my wife and.

her friends say things like "well, in this system of things.

we will never be caught up in our work at home.

Saying "this system of thing will never change" is code for social irresponsibility. There is no need to do anything to better the community if it is rotten to the core. The guilt of contributing to its apathy and decay is blown away by the winds of the coming Armageddon. Fools.

C.O. visit means...stumping apostasy!

I guess I was a bit flippant. I am not married and have no children. I was single for the kingdom and a pioneer till armageddon type, very motivated. I developed diabetes and it was very convenient to back off. Others have done the same simply by slowing down to a crawl. Lower hours till none are reported. Canceling talk assignments over time makes you unreliable and they won't assign them as redily. If you're an elder you can always say you need to take a break and then slow to a crawl till they say its better not to serve. I don't know how to handle a wife and kids but you'll find many here have done so. Start a thread How do I fade when I have a family? I'm sure you'll get swamped with answers. Good luck.

Tonight I disassociated myself - after 24 years - had 2 hour meeting with Elder

i am now sitting at home.

my wife left with my little child.

my fault (i dislike the word "fault", but don't have a better one right now).. it feels strange, relieved and free, at the same time it was all very strange.

If there was one elder they need two as you know. If you don't deny it you will be on their radar. They may ask for a letter to confirm it. I imagine they may approach you to confirm that your feelings are valid and not an emotional outburst or symptom of depression. In the end you're out of there. Welcome. Make new friends, go to school and take time to give "worldly" people a chance.

No more taxes, EPA, Civil Rights legislation, and a gun in every pocket, yeah Ron Paul! Wait, no one pays their taxes, the EPA is fairly toothless and bigots hat anyway. Guns? Plenty to go around. Who needs R. Paul?

I commented on these videos three years ago. Propagandatechniques deleted all my comments because I didn't slam the sincere brother attempting to kindly answer his questions. Yes they do show the measure of defensiveness of the brother in the back, but just as powerfully it shows the sincerity and restraint of the brother who did the majority of the talking.
