It kind of makes me think of the Publishers Clearinghouse, You Have Won, envolopes, That after proclaiming, how much you, for sure have won, is followed by a *, if you DIG deep enough, you find the (*) hidden in the smallest mice type, where it says, *If you return the winning numbers!

The jw love is totally unconditionally extended, IF, you obey, 100%!

Send money to KH in lieu of flowers.

by Jack Miller in

"in lieu of flowers send money to the kingdom hall"..... wow.... this young woman's jw servant husband was caught cheating on her again with another jw "sister", but when she told her husband she wanted to forgive him again and continue with her marriage, he told her he didn't want that.

he wanted her to simply move on with her life.here is how she moved on: she put on her wedding dress, got into her car in the garage and started it.

do you think finding her this way spoke louder than any suicide note?

Poor girl! I knew her since she was a baby : (

So my dad comes from vacation and ???!!!

by Kool Jo in

hello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.

so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???

has anyone else had this experience before?

DwainBowman

That is an assignment that is almost always given to the most fs active elder. In the cong I am stuck in, it has changed hands about three times in the past 5 years. If there is an elder that's pioneering, he most often will be given that spot. Even an elder that auxiliary pioneers often, will be more likely to get that spot! The Fs overseer, is supposed to make regular monthly visits to differnt fs groups!

I too think most likely this is the reason he was removed from that spot, nothing more!

Hi everyone, this is my first post.

hey everyone, this is my first post.

i was contacted by the witnesses in1965, baptized in that same year at age 15. i was appointed an elder in 1975 and served as an elder for 20 years..

it hasnt been long since i learn ttatt and when i totally woke up.

DwainBowman

Hey John, and a BIG WELCOME!

Most brothers that have been even close, to the "in" power people, should have seen and heard enough to wake us up, years before we did! Sad to say it seems to only really reach most of us after, sometthing touches us personally! I so believed the story that all these, ms, elders, etc, were sprit anointed, even after seeing some bad apples get appointed! I remember one about 25 years ago. Young ms appointed as an elder one week, removed and df'ed two weeks later. (His family had a big cookout in his honor) His wifes younger sister have moved in with them 2 months after his getting married 5 years before. Well it turns out, when she moved in, she moved into to the same bedroom a few weeks later. Of course many are quick to point out that, these are allowed to be in, to test others! That's always the excuse used, to explain their appointment's away! (Jehovah allows it to test others. Well Job was tested by Satan, and his peoples, not gods!)
