  guess who did - in one - me!

  My wife thought that going to the meeting was more important than helping her ageing parents to move in.

  So much for "Honouring your parents" eh?

  More 'brothers' are deciding to eat lunch in their cars in the car park and not enjoying fellowship in the specially assigned eating area, which you can imagine was about half empty.

  That's your answer right there! There's simply no enjoyable fellowship at the assembly anyway, so why not enjoy what lunch you have in your car? First you're "advised" not to leave the Assembly compound to purchase lunch, now they're even griping about having lunch in your car ... jeez!

  Honestly speaking, do you consider yourself "privileged" or "burdened".

  How about those Yearbook experiences?

  looking back, i realize that the jw yearbook was about the only thing i looked forward to.

  i would usually read it in it's entirety.

  when i became older and wiser, the information in the yearbook seemed so .... well, shady.

  What did you not like about the paradise?

  by reneeisorym in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have always loved it when the seasons changes.

  i was always told that we would have temerate weather all of the time and the seasons wouldn't chage.

  i always thought i would miss the changing leaves, budding flowers after it has been so cold, and the snow.

  And the 1,000 years of remaining strong without being perfect

  Ditto! And to make things even worse, you could still be killed by Jehovah AFTER you've achieved perfection!

  So exactly how is this going to work ... all the US elders must journey to Patterson, away from their respective congregations for a week. Does that mean that random congregations will be elderless for an entire week?

  let's see what notes i took.

  it was pretty spotty; i fell asleep a few times during the days, so some parts have nothing.

  also, some parts have nothing that caught my attention.

  "The meetings have been set up to exercise your mind!"

  How much exercise does a mind get when it's asleep?

  A good reply to the "pioneer or you're nothing" crowd.

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  whenever i used to get hassled for not pioneering, i love passing along this little nugget of wisdom: "can you imagine what it would be like if everyone in the congregation pioneered?

  no one would make any money to put in the contribution box, donate for gas, or buy groceries for the pioneers!

  everyone would starve!".

  "Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone in the congregation pioneered? No one would make any money to put in the contribution box, donate for gas, or buy groceries for the pioneers! Everyone would starve!"

  There would be no one left to "support" the pioneers. I wonder where they would get their food, shoes, transportation ... Certianly they won't be able to depend on OTHER pioneers!
