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?.

sparrowdown

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?"

Post formatting and readability

by Simon in

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.

sparrowdown

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

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.
