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?"
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?.

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.
The year the WT broke the internet.....ha! they wish.
Kim K's booty beat them to it.
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.
tight-pantsgate?
The great WT rebranding?

Anyone with any sense would have to be aware of the pitfalls of appointment,
not just for the appointed man but his whole "household"comes under scrutiny. FT!
Then there are others who would serve, but don't have the "spiritual qualifications" as per the local elders.
oh i do enjoy a good laugh.
i watched the naked gun movie last night i was surprised at.
how funny it still is or maybe i was just in the mood for some silliness.
Naked Gun:
Neilsen's line to Priscilla Presley's character : "Nice beaver"
She replies: "Thanks, I just got it stuffed" ( hands him a stuffed beaver)
this is a reminder for some, and fresh bible guidance for new arrivals to this site.. have you been "witnessing" today, or are you planning to?.
revelation 12:17 - ".......and have the work of bearing witness to jesus.".
acts 8:16 - ".......been baptized in the name of the lord jesus.".
Bro/Sis Average says "whaaaat....who is this Jesus, is he an apostate?"
i have discovered why the gb-rinch canceled christmas.
(apart from them being fun-sucking assholes and "christ" is in the name.).
the christmas carol deck the halls clearly gives the command to:.
"Gay apparel?" -definitely skinny pants.
