the pusher i have told a young man today that jehovah's witnesses are one of the biggest helpers with hunger reliefs and bringing solar stoves to west africa and the watchtower has donated vast resources to help ebola victims by providing hundreds of "clean up stations" plus jehovah's witnesses are sending millions of dollars in medical aid, is this true?.
are jehovah witnesses with backing from the watchtower helping eliminate illiterate children like the catholic church is doing in uganda and kenya by housing 5 to 13 year old kids and proving two meals, a roof over their head and education up to 15 years giving them a edge, so they don't end up in the sex trade, as a jw-cart the pride swelled up in my heart knowing how generous our organization is with the poor.

Only people I ever hear of all their wonderful chairty, work from is them!
A few years back, a tornado tore up a city I used to live in. 2 jw's houses were destroyed. My brothers, and a well connected elders. The RBC was quick to respond, and totally clear the wreckage, in one weekend, and finish the replacment house in two weeks, for the elder. They did not even offer to provide clean up help with his place, and never even gave rebuilding his place a real thought!
i forgot about thus until yesterday.. at the coming dc/ic this summer, pioneers are not allowed to get hard copies of new publacations!
elder & ms, and anyone else that wants one, can!.
stupid!.
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%!

It is new! The cong I am stuck in, is so cheap, they put a stack of maybe 10 out at a time!
"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 : (
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!
