  Did people DONATE for the literature when you went out in service?

  by BonaFide in

  i think i got a donation maybe once or twice here in the states.

  most of the friends don't ask for a donation.

  in south america, more people donated, but i think it's because it was phrased differently, we used to say, "you can give whatever you want for this magazine.

  Nope. I never ask anymore. The only times I asked

  were when I got to do a presentation on a meeting

  night on the current literature placement. Eventhough

  I had the whole presentation memorized I still fumbled

  it when going door to door so I didn't ask and still don't.

  When you heard "apostate" who did you imagine?

  by nbernat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always imagined a 60-year-old man with white hair who is really arrogant and grumpy with an evil look in his eyes, a very cold person who wanted to do nothing but ruin people's lives and was working for satan.

  i never imagined i'd be one.... ...that or a 55-year-old woman with gray hair with glasses and a very rude look, and smarter-than-thou attitude.. you?.

  There once was this guy, cute guy,

  sitting on the trunk of his car with

  a guitar singing some religious folk

  songs and asking people to come

  and talk with him outside the convention

  arena in one of the parking areas.

  He seemed very nice and his clothes

  were casual but not dirty or anything.

  He had some pamphlets he was trying

  to give to people who got near enough

  as they walked to their cars... My mother

  said he was "an apostate." I still have

  that friendly smiley face in my mind and

  thought for the longest time that Satan

  must have turned into an angel of light

  if the cute guy was "an apostate."

  My experience at the District Convention today - Appreciate your comments

  by BonaFide in

  i know i am the one to constantly harp on this board how the organization has lost its "swagger" and the baptism and attendance is going down, and people are waking up.. not so fast.. the audience cried, i mean a lot of people cried when they played some of the songs from the new songbook.

  some had bethel singers who sounded pretty good singing them.

  so many after the program were saying how touched they were.. then the new release of the book showing how the book of acts prefigures the organization today.

  Sammieswife you are so right.

  There isn't a meeting that goes by

  that doesn't get at least a couple to

  several credits the "Faithful and

  Discreet Slave" for everything, for

  the litterature at the right time, for

  the help JWs get in disasters, to the

  separating work, to the bringing of

  millions to a "right heart condition"

  with God, etc. etc. But can a JW give

  a simple answer as to who is the

  "Faithful and Discreet Slave" what

  makes the Slave faithful and discreet

  and who was this Slave prior to the

  1970s. You'll get a bunch of blank

  stares like you're asking a stupid

  question that has no answer... Well,

  I can't think of a good answer myself

  so I just stare back.

  Have you heard of Tangle?

  It's like YouTube but more religious minded.

  the video above by the VOCA people is very intrigueing.

  There's also quite a few different topics in the TOP 10 videos

  that I think are very worthy of watching.

  What do you think would happen if a lot of DFed folks

  showed up at a KH. Socialized with each other... and

  shunned everyone else except little kids... Sat through

  the meeting and maybe said "Hah!" or "giggled" quitely

  in response to outlandish statements about JWs being

  only true religion or anytime "Faithful and Discreet Slave"

  is mentioned. But without interrupting.

  Then after the meeting they'd socialize with each other,

  till the lights went out in main auditorium, and moved to

  the foyer, where they'd talk about their lives how everyone

  was doing, how much they loved to have been there to see

  each other and to promise to keep in touch, etc.

  Don't you think the elders would be in a hissy fit to squelch

  this oubreak of love? Wouldn't you think the HQ would be

  notified and the Legal Dept. would quickly evaluate the

  'problema' and make recommendations?

  Do you think if it was repeated it would be even more fun,

  week after week. Perhaps skip a week or two by agreement,

  and not let the active JWs know when they'd show up or not.

  That would be awesome!

  I started this discussion realizing I can post a new topic again.

  I can only post once a day, or reply to 10 messages. But I'm

  very interested in your thoughts about the possibilities.
