To ALL active and newly escaped JWs
by somebody inwhen there are adjustments in a volunteers status, such as when one moves or is appointed as a ministerial servant or elder, new forms should be filled out promptly and submitted.
as far as volunteer status, in this regional building committee, and the kingdom hall volunteer worker questionaire goes, why would the title elder or ministerial servant effect ones satus?
i can understand anyone having to fill out a form form for volunteer work for a major corporation or religious building, for backgroud checks.

Vulnerability and being open minded
by Markfromcali ini don't know if this has ever been specifically addressed in a thread before, so i thought i'd go ahead and start it.
what i mean by vulnerability has a big emotional aspect, but what i want to point out is how it is really not so separate from our thought process.. often times we find that people who disagree will do so out of 'emotional reasons', but i suggest that the emotions are secondary and is really a form of defensiveness.
in fact, if you pay attention to the whole process, you may notice a certain visceral feeling where it feels like a contraction, and then the emotional response either distances, blocks or turns away from the issue at hand, and the one feeling threatened will stop responding to reason.. we might consider this as a recognition that the mental identification is threatened, which is to say my religion, my way of thinking, experiences and the like.

What's the oldest you saw a person get baptized?
by JH in.
i remember seeing 2 sisters in my congregation getting baptized at the age of 80. they then died 2 or 3 years later.
the book study was at their place so that they wouldn't have to go out.. .
