Understanding who, what, or how...when a elder, oc, or ms is appointed
by Butterflyleia85 ini thought this page was interesting when they decussed developing church leaders.... http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/references/nt/pauline/titus/titus1/titus1_5_leadership.html.
can someone share scriptures or insite along the idea that.
even though an organization was always necessary god only used the organization, it was not an itegral part of his plan.

are they the "happy" people?
by highdose inthe gb is fond of saying that jw's are happy, often showing a picture of a posing/smiling dub to prove the point.
however tell me, do you see loads of smiling faces at the hall, assembly hall and ministry?
i don't remember that i did, and the only time they really smile... is for the soveniuer photo... to show just how happy they were.

Thoughts on "the faithful slave"--for the millionth time
by sd-7 init's been done to the point of ad nauseam, but i had a thought about the "faithful slave".
note that in matthew 24:45-47, jesus asks a question, "who really is the faithful and discreet slave, who his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
" "appointed" is past tense.

As it's Halloween....................
by cantleave ina question about vampires (well vampire bats and other blood sucking creatures).
when you were a dub did you ever consider this ............ as jehovah regards blood as something sacred, why did he create animals that feed on the stuff?.

switching congos
by rockmehardplace inspoke with a friend of mine and he was telling me of all the changes in his congo.
said that at one time, the elder body was 95% white and 5% minority.
he said that they have had people who are moving into their congo because the larger percentage of the body is now made up of minorities.

by Too Opinionated inwow!
this is the first time i've ever seen any publicity about a jw assembly in our little newspaper.. http://www.wisconsinrapidstribune.com/article/20090928/wrt10/909280328.
it's wierd to see the names of people who stood up in our wedding and traveled overseas with us listed, since they all turned their backs on us.

Will the "Vetting and Barring Scheme (UK) affect J W's?
by BluesBrother inthe local media are hyping this government scheme.
it will require all employees and volunteers, having regular access to children and vulnerable adults, to be vetted and registered as having no record of abusing, or other reason why they should not be around children.. it does not cover personal arrangements between parents but if, say, a scout group ask a person to help out or transport kids to and from meetings, they must register or face a fine.. now when i was a dub, i was an appointed man, but all dubs may be asked to take somebodies child in service.
i did it all the time.

A DA Announced
by straightshooter ina friend told me that a person was announced last night as "not longer a jehovahs witness.".
he told me that an elder after the meeting stated that this person used to be very zealous and a regular pioneer when he was single.
that was only about 5 years ago.. the sad thing is that i was told that he was not in the cliche.
