  You totally missed the first part of what I said. It was said from the platform, of the congregation I am stuck in! My brother in law is an elder in another congregation. We were talking about it over coffee this week. There are three old time pioneers in his cong, that are very upset over this issue! Neither of them have tablets. Two are late 70's, the other is a little younger. All three live on very tight incomes!

  I guess these two elder bodies, just add their own spin, gid knows the bunch I have to be around have been known for that type of things!

  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

  2. scandals

  "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?

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

  by Kool Jo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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?

  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!

  i know dubs are delusional.
