Assembly Call: PLEASE Come Back & Help Us Out---Ministerial Servants & Elders!
by minimus ini was told they were practically begging those elders and servants who are no longer "being used" to help carry the load once again.
these people are unbelievable!.

It's just another tactic to make people feel like they're wrong for not following WT directions. If you're a qualified brother but aren't helping out then the WTS says "shame on you". But they don't really want biblically qualified brothers to teach the Bible to people. They want Organization men to teach the WTS rules and regulations to the followers.

Can a witness avoid ever being disfellowshipped or reproved?
by dgp inpeople, a simple question this time.
since the society has such a complex set of rules, how likely is the average witness to be disfellowshipped?
reproved?

this proven in the fact that many posters on here are active and living a lie to everyone.
I don't see that I'm living a lie to anyone. My life is what it is. As much as I would like to do some things differently I'm having to make choices, one of the choices is not to lose family and friends I have now. If the WTS didn't have the stupid shunning policy non of my family or friends would shun me if I left would they?
So I do what I feel I have to. If that's leading a double life to you well maybe it is. But my life isn't a lie to me, "it is what it is", (a phrase I say mocking someone in oversight who was very fond of saying it all the time, ex. "Field Service isn't hard, it is what it is," yeah right).

Yeah, I've gotten talked to twice in the last few months for talking to DF'ed ones.
Mind you they were at the hall, and I just said I was happy to see them. Well,
got spotted and taken to the side school. I think I'm on double secret probation
as a result.

The Great Crowd Don't Even Inherit the Earth.
by cantleave inthis came up on another thread i started, but think it desrves it's own, as it is a complete revelation to me.. .
the mild-tempered ones are happy because they will inherit the earth.
jesus, who was mild-tempered and lowly in heart, is the appointed heir of all things and is therefore the principal inheritor of the earth.

Yeah, but,
a recent WT, about a year ago and something maybe,
said that the anointed are the one's inheriting the Earth once again,
IIRC.

The Caring Elders
by cantleave ini would be interested in your opinion of the following:.
a friend told me about an incident that had happened in a neighbouring congregation.
she told me that a sister from the congregation needed to get back to work after a meeting but discovered that she was boxed in.

I smell an upcoming letter to the BOE with this as an example to get the elders to be less knuckle headed.
Oy vey!
She should definitely make a big stink. It may haunt her for quite a while and make her name stink in that congo.
But she should go the Matthew way, take a witness with her, the whole thing.

Well, it's comforting to see that Crayola company made it through Armageddon, notice the open box of crayons.
Maybe the supply of crayons will run out eventually, and what will the WT do? Make more? Will people make their own?
Will there be a New World Crayola Co. Inc.? And how about the paper for art drawing? Will they use papyrus eventually?
Definitely not vellum... or maybe so if you wait around for an old sheep or goat to die and use their hide for vellum paper.
Hmmm... Maybe use slate and chalk eventually, or maybe perfect brains will develop new ways of making art sketches.

"Before every single NBA game, both teams line up at their respective ends of the court while the national anthem is performed live. It's a ritual that we've become so accustomed to seeing, that we're not exactly doing a roster check or a headcount to make sure that every player from each team is participating. If we did, then we'd notice the conspicuous absence of Brandon Roy from the festivities." (Click the link above to read the whole article)
