I don't want to brag, but I have good news! One of the elders said that I progressed considerably in reading and that after I get baptized, he wants to use me as the brother that reads the paragraphs in the Watchtower Study. :) Can you believe that? I went from being frightened of raising my hand to comment, to the possibility of me being the one reading the study for the congregation.
Wanna bet he will have to meet some other "qualifications" first?
Grab em while they are young cause they ain't no udders that want any "privileges."
*sigh* poor misguided fool.....
There's nothing like impressing people with influence to get in good with god.
I got to read for the book study a few times. I liked it. Never got to do the Watchtower study though. I was on my way out before I got the chance.

Don't take much to make him happy huh?
They like to name these chores as 'privileges' so that they seem a great thing to gain and a big thing to lose. I guess reading the watchtower may have some prestige for some. I read at both the group and watchtower study, didnt particularly enjoy the experience, and it was especially bad when I'd forgotton it was my turn and hadn't read through to see if there were any words I didnt know the correct pronunciation or names etc. I remember speed reading the next paragraph while questions were being answered in case anything like that came up and making judgement calls there and then on how I would say it!

not as big as Gumby's balls!
Well, as a sister I didn't have such "privileges" to look forward to, thank goodness. All I could do was hours and hours of ministry and the occasional talk, about every 6 weeks unless I was really unlucky and got 1 a month.
This guy must be totally brainwashed, or braindead, to look forward to that. It doesn't take nuch to make some people happy, obviously.
