The CO asked for money tonight at the meeting.
by life is to short ini was shocked i do not know why as i have read that the co's were doing this but to hear it with my own ears was unbelievable.
i do not go to the meetings but my husband still does and this week is the co's visit.
i decided that i would listen in to his talk; i swear i have lost some brain cells by doing it but anywho.. he started out by talking about the old story that has been in the wt many times about a little boy who was seven and raised a chicken and gave the money to the society.

Having small children go door to door without their parents.

The generation that saw the end of the Vietnam War will never die!
by life is to short inso what will be the new light on having such a young gb member?
will it be that obviously jesus clearly meant that evidently, plainly, unmistakably and with out a doubt (matt 24:34) that this generation that overlapped with the generation that saw ww1 and would overlap with the generation that saw ww2 which would than clearly overlap with the ones who saw the end of the vietnam war will never die.. this new gb is younger then i am and i just barley remember the end of the vietnam war.. how do the older ones keep believing this?
how can someone who is in their 60's to 80's swallow this?

I was wrong about the picture in the Learn from the Great Teacher book. I am sorry
by life is to short ini now totally understand thanks to the great and wonderful insight that justitia themis and fleman uk have given to me that there is no problem with pedophiles in the jw's.. i have been totally over emotional from what i can understand them to mean.. what was it justitia themis called me, illogical.
justitia themis said that i clearly said that i am "desperate to bring down the religion," i never said that!
she took my words out of context.

Ultimately it is the child who should stop the abuse according to the GB!
by life is to short inon page 171 of the "learn from the great teacher" book published in 2003 it shows a picture of a very cute little girl holding a ragged ann doll.
she is sitting on a chair in her bedroom with her hand out toward a man that is coming toward her.. the paragraphs say "so just as jesus needed protection, you also need to be protected from grown-ups-and even from other children-who may try to have sex with you.
usually, these people will pretend to be your friends.

Would anyone ever truly trust a full blown alcoholic to truly stop?
by life is to short inwould anyone ever truly trust a full blown alcoholic who say has killed someone while driving drunk to live and be alone with alcohol?
it sounds crazy to even think of leaving an alcoholic who truly has a problem alone with open bottles of booze.
to trust them not to be tempted to drink.. why then is it so hard to understand that child molesters should not be alone with kids.. i know in every hall i have been in including while i was at bethel we had alcoholic's in them.

Did anyone else get somewhat offended by the term "rank and file" that the WT attorney used.
by life is to short ini was just surprised by that term being used by jim mccabe when he said "jonathan kendrick was not a leader or a pastor, he was just a rank-and-file member.".
i thought that was only an apostate term and also what a put down to us lowly members.
we are just a rank-and-file person.
