it has been a few months since i hear this from an elder.
he said that the c/o told them this new requirement.. "men that wanna be an elder or ministerial servant has to go out to field service on sundays.
if there is an elder or ministerial servant that is not going out to field service on sunday can lose the priviledge".
Another thing I remember this elder told me is that the C/O told them that the society has fought so many times even in the supreme court to have the right to preach on Sundays. And if a brother that wants to be a Ministerial Sevant or Elder don't go out on Sunday to preach, it means that they don't appriciate what Jehovah's organization has done for us to preach on Sunday. For that reason they would not be an example to the brothers.
What do you think about that?
i found this article interesting & just wanted to share.
after going through my teenage years trying to be the perfect jw, i realized that trying to live up to the standards imposed on me have been for worse & not for better.
i was feeling miserable, repressed, unfulfilled, with a great lack of self confidence & self esteem.

i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
Welcome!
Nice to have you here....

Thanks everyone for your comments.
So, I'm guessing there is nothing written from Jehovah (aka Governing body) on the subject.
They are just a bunch of modern times "Pharisees".

Organized book doesn't say anything of this. All it says is that the publisher has to be regular in service.
Is this a new "oral" requirement? Or is it in a secret manual?
Elders or anyone that has any knowledge about this please let me know!!!
Thanks!
too tight pants by mentally diseased.
(with thanks to baggy trousers by madness).
too tight pants in kingdom halls.
if you go to google and just type in, jehovah witness about 10 different articles pop up about tonys comment with the gays wanting men in tight pants!
i didnt play with any other google words yet but comment is getting a lot of publicity!.
he done goofed on that one!.
that's the word according to my mil.
mrs hoser is starting a new career and the college and work training will take her four years to complete.
her mom is giving her a hard time telling her that the system will be over before she graduates.
Lets just remember that tv.jw.org will be for many years ahead... Shall we????
why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.
nothing wrong with being gay.
but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .
so, did you make a good choice?
was waiting for a ms really worth it?.
