  howdy all , relieving the boredom at the meeting again.

  yesterday on the ministry i was offering halloween mags (i know,i just dont even try anymore!

  ) - the lovely missus said "you cant place those" so i said half sarcastically "the truth never goes out of date or changes" .

  The sound box is indeed a nice distraction for the waffle coming out of the speakers.. I've used my phone ever since the APP came out, so it's not unusual for the brothers to see me using it, although typing is a lot different to swishing a screen!! Yes, they look, but they'll not see anything.

  The straight face thing, it's becoming increasingly difficult for sure. I was with a group of them talking the other day about the 'water canopy'. I simply couldn't join in, I KNEW I'd not be able to maintain my cover...

  I posted on here from the platform while I was reading the WT a while back, (my 'Ahh sweet rebellion' thread). That was fun! I really wanna post during a TALK but that'll be more difficult. Not impossible though, I'd just have to type it out beforehand, and submit it while up there. I'd take a picture from the platform as proof but that would easily give me away....

  ANyway....

  Yep Jen, there's a LOT of conditionality out there.

  Well done with the token service though, that's a goal I'm aiming for! It's good to have goals!!!

  And Snare, thanks for putting me onto Anthony and Opie, I'm always on the lookout for new podcasts to while away the hours at work..

  Mentally diseased...spot the difference

  by punkofnice in

  2. beliefs

  nwt revised 1984 1tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our lord jesus christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.

  from these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions,.

  nwt revised 20131 tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our lord jesus christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything.

  Cheers snare, you seem like a thoroughly bloody decent chap, I enjoy your posts very much, and if I still had my elders book I'd copy the notes for you in a trice!

  Ya know what snare, im not bothered really if they DO drop me like a sack of poo. If their friendship is that conditional then so be it, ive got me, and you guys. I've got hobbies, and I'm fairly gregarious, I think I'm generally a good friend to friends. I'll be able to make more. The only thing I'm concerned about is the missus. Only time will tell with that. Damn this long game....

  I look around and i see good people, people trying to be christian according to what theyre TOLD christianity is. Good people who are generally very honest trustworthy people. Good people that would drop association with me in a SHOT if i chose to have a different opinion publicly than them..... Ya gotta hand it to the WTBTS theyve developed a very clever closed system..

  Howdy all , relieving the boredom at the meeting again.

  Yesterday on the ministry i was offering halloween mags (i know,i just dont even try anymore!) - the lovely missus said "you cant place those" so i said half sarcastically "the truth never goes out of date or changes" . A long moment passed then she turned to me and said "yes it does!"

  Excellent! tiny victories and all that!

  And the bad?

  we got invited in and i had to do actual ministry. Really tricky trying to answer questions without lying to her OR giving the game away to the missus..

  Karma!
