a brother was appointed recently in the cong, he's got a dodgy history, doesn't really have the respect of many in the cong.
it's surprising to me, but i don't really care, good for him.
my wife, on the other hand, is angry!
Hey all!
A conversation was had, all very civil and even conspiratorial, and not even vaguely forced. She's mad as hades about it, even to the point of thinking of moving congs! Thank you all for your suggestions, I'm gradually learning more and more to shut up and just listen. There's no way this will be forgotten, I even managed to get your example out, slidin fast!
hate this waiting game..

Thanks searcher, but if I said that, she'd presume I was being sarcastic as she knows full well I've got serious doubts..
And slidin', I figured that would be the way to go, I know it's a long game, but I'm getting impatient! I've already dropped in the change of arrangement, but I'm always trying to think of conversations we can have where I don't come across as a negative 'subverter of faith'.....

My wife, on the other hand, is ANGRY! she's lost respect for the body for appointing him. I want to capitalise on this, and help her think about the 'spirit appointed' process, but if I bring it up directly I'll just blurt out "see, no spirit appointment here, it's a crock!", and she'll shut down..
Me bad with words. Me need help. What sort of questions do you think I could ask, any help appreciated!

Cedars speaks about this in the new podcast. He has a very good handle on it..
a letter is to be read out at service meetings this week in the uk saying that sam herd & john larson are visiting next april.
on sat 25th there will be a 3 hour programme streamed to all congs.
the postscript (not to be read out) instructs congs that haven't already done so, to order the necessary equipment.
Thanks for the heads up, this is extremely handy as now I can plan something for us to do that Saturday so we don't have to sit through that lot! Nice one!
just an idea for the weekly g.b.
conclave to consider - unless it's too christian for them to think about!.
paul wrote this to the "israel of god" - galatians 6:2 " go on carrying the burdens of one another, and in this way you will fulfill the law of the christ.".
Nicely put. I'm sure the gb minions will report this to the upper echelons and it will be acted on immediately.
If only.
i've been conducting a little experiment.
if i post funny things on my facebook timeline, or interesting things, all my jw friends comment, like, share etc.. .
without fail though, (so far) , if i post something humanitarian, something charitable, some local interest good news story about the community coming together as one, it's very rare for any of my witness friends to 'like', comment, or share.
The count has gone up now to 14 to 1.
"we" seem to be programmed to not give a hoot about 'worldly' efforts to help people, whereas the actual worldlies care very much. Sad.

In fact with the latest post, the ratio is ten to one worldlies/jw's!
Speaks volumes eh?
once upon a time, there was a world in flux, undergoing change and diversity at an imperceptible pace.
only with hindsight was it possible to catalogue the various paths being born that led to a word and humanity so very different one hundred years later than compared to any time in the homo sapiens past.. technology, warfare, the universe, the discovery of atoms... born in stars, all things forced upon the fragile minds of mortals in a short period of time.. these overwhelming changes led to the birth of many things, including comforts and hopes that were far to readily available to grasp ahold of.
as the founders of these comforts could not themselves grasp the world they found the self in, they sought the worlds they knew, the past, 4000 years in the past......the technicalities and truths were to be ironed out at another time, a time never reached.. some had no choice in the matter, the grasping was done by their parents, their grandparents, their great grandparents.....when the time came for personal analysis, not only had they inherited comfort but great, great fears.
True dat. They like to keep it scary as a level of control. Gits.
what is the focus for this one.
is it "well lads ring the legal department but if anything goes wrong, you are on your own.
the cs deals with all that".
Sorry blondie, UK phrase, I'll consider myself reprimanded!
I should've said "how to conduct the watchtower study"!
Two sections on this. If they don't know how to do it yet, well, the mind boggles .
