Blondie, I look forward to your WT study every weekend. It lets me know what my family's lobotomized heads are going to be full of on Sunday evenings.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 10-19-08 WT Study (DIGNITY)
by blondie inhonor jehovah by displaying dignity .
this ten-year old has quickly learned that dignity is only the outward appearance.
why, though, can humans act with dignity?

Does God direct the WTBS through Holy Spirit?
by Honesty inthe watchtower society and/or the governing body of jehovah's witnesses claim that god is directing them (may 1, 1961 watchtower magazine page 274 paragraph 11).. .
they say that it is vital that jw's appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the slave as they would to the voice of god, because it is his provision (june 15, 1957 watchtower magazine page 370 paragraph 7) and that only people with independent and rebellious spirits ignore the fact that god is directing them (june 1, 1985 watchtower magazine page 18 paragraph 12).
they also claim that that jehovah is directing their steps by means of his holy spirit (may 1, 1961 watchtower magazine page 274 paragraph 11).

I always thought that was the way it is. But then you see all the problems in the congregation, how could God be directing it? I wish I had a penny for every time I have heard "perfect organization with imperfect people". Why wouldn't an appointment of a new ministerial servant that is having an affair be rejected if God was directing appointments? Why would someone be allowed to pioneer year after year that doesn't get their hours and is a busybody causing many problems for others in the congregation? Wouldn't God do something about these appointments eventually. Why would God allow not one child to be raped, but dozens, within a circuit by a pedophile? Members of the congregation don't want to ponder these things they say " Jehovah will take care of all that". What about all the people that got knocked out of the truth because of these issues? "Well, that was their test". Right, Jehovah was just testing that little 4 year old girl. Lazy thinking!

Pro's and Con's of DAing myself.
by lancelink ini have been wrestling with the idea of da'ing myself for close to a year now.
but there is a small area in my subconscious that whispers "this is not a good idea.
i haven't been to a meeting in over six months, no service in seven years.

I think it they are not bothering you, then just leave it the way it is. I am in the same boat with parents and family. For me though I am not willing to meet with them or answer any questions. I refuse to stress over this another minute of my life. so if push comes to shove I guess it will be official.

I recently left a posotion of 22 yrs. I gave them 5wks (based on 5wks of time in my vacation bank). They still wanted me to stay longer. I did not. I notice you are willing to compromise (weekends ect) and he is not. Your loyalty should now be with your new employer.
