  Vidiot- Yes the name Toole is hilarious, and shunning is not a myth- I was being ironic.

  Hey there stuck, you made it!

  Me thinks there have been a few minor teething troubles with the new site, but it should sort itself out.

  In response to a newspaper article that talked about the practice of shunning the spokesman for the WT Mr Vincent Toole ( that's not the funny part), stated (among other steaming piles) that "shunning is a myth ".

  Oh Vin, you jokester you!

  a woman has been shot dead by a 2-year-old in a wal-mart store in idaho.. .

  the 29-year-old was shopping with four children in the store in hayden, when the two-year-old reached into her handbag and fired the weapon, shooting her dead.. initial reports suggested the woman was the boy's mother, but the police have said that this is as yet unclear how they are related.. source; http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/toddler-accidentally-shoots-woman-in-idaho-walmart-9950847.html.

  i've nothing to add to my past comments on americas psychotic relationship with guns.

  what if the almighty gb announced that all shunning will cease, and next minute all the people who have shunned you start calling and texting saying "hi, we're baaaack, we can talk to you now!".

  .

  what would do you do, and how do you react?.

  Personally, I would find it just as galling as the shunning crap.

  My first question would be: "can you count time with DA/DF/inactive now?"

  i don't know if it's a technical issue or just a habit some people have but i've noticed a few posters either:.

  bold their entire post.

  start new lines in the middle of sentences.

  Yes, the starting new line mid sentence thing

  is very annoying. I type in paragraphs and it 

  turns up all spazzy in the post.

  Seems to happen when I use  my tablet.

  Men are not looking forward to becoming Elders or Ministerial Servants

  by Hidden-Window in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have noticed an apparently increasing number of men who are not interested in becoming ministerial servants or elders.

  i also know of some that have voluntarily stepped down (which is my case) for no obvious solid reason.. i remember, during my teenage years or even during my twenties, the brothers were always looking forward to being appointed... although many still do, i have noticed there are many others with whom you do not know what the deal is.. since there is no freedom of speech within the organization, we remain in the dark about the motives and desires of everybody else.

  i attend a congregation with only two ministerial servants, while it is full of men who do not seem to be willing to do more.. it is hard to tell exactly what is going on, since honesty is not possible while you are inside, but i am starting to think that more and more are becoming disillusioned.... .

  Yes, bb, I remember the days when the elder wannabees would practically

  start dry-humping the CO when he visited.

  What's becoming of this religion. Bunch of pussies.
