Question on Paragraph 13
Yes Brother Tepid
GO TO HELL!!
Thank you Brother,
Moving on,
Oh Brother Tepid? Yes?
Thank you, Who made you the Sacred GuardIans of the relationship
between a man and the Almighty?
Um what does the Bible say about presumptiousness?
What say you holy elders,
Seems we're talking about a sin of some magnitude,
You're sayin were running out of time,
After the meeting?
Don't wait up
I hate the smell of fresh cattle manure,
Bye
for those that still care to read the bible of course.
those that don't, please keep the snarky comments to yourselves :-).
i am assuming nwt is not very popular?.
NASV
I do not believe the Bible is inspired by anyone/anything but I will collect
them from Thrift Shops for critiquing purposes
:0)
does any one have any experience with writing to the branch office?
i know they're busy, but while reading through the shepherd textbook, it says to write to them quite a few times.
so if a body of elders write to the branch office, whats the usual wait time for a response?
Hi
I was going over your initial question
This wont be very accurate as the details regarding your situation are
rather vague
That being said, in the type of situations that you indicate,
The local congregations are HIGHLY advised to handle matters
themselves
With out involving the branch,
I hope that helps,

Secret a a gent man
Secret a a gent man
The truth may be out there but not from us!
I wonder if the elders like these reconnaissance calls?

Regarding Judicial matters there's a slow process going up the Totem
Pole including the CO etc
I don't believe they will respond to someone who "just wants to go to
the top"
In the event of a DFing make sure that you understand the Appeal
Process clearly,
Talk to more than one elder as that would be the time to do it
Good Luck

A serious answer is that it depends what you're writing about,
They suggest from time to time not to bother them personally but to
go through your local congregation,
When the elders need something 'urgently" they can even call,
Anything that could be a legal problem they're ENCOURAGED to call,
I know David Splane's secretary will answer
I'm sure she'd enjoy your call,
:)
funny but for whatever reason, i can't stop singing walking in integrity from the old songbook!
it's in my head and in my opinion it was one of the few songs i really liked..
The Heaven's Declare God's Glory
Great composition
And the lyrics don't bother me
As they are like a hymn
:0)
i've been noticing lots of these pins on lapels.
i could almost understand the jwdotorg pin because the new mantra is to go to the website.
but why on earth are they sporting a building?
Thank you Richard for your measured and accurate reports,
The brothers have a long history of turning a blind eye to merchandising,
I was shocked many years ago to see Bible Story coloring books being
sold in the back of the KH
But in all fairness they all are very busy monitoring everybody's sexual
activity
Who has the time?
I noted as well that you can make and sell all the crap you want (against
WT written instructions) and you'll be fine, but if you grow a beard that is
a sin worthy of damnation
so our sunday meeting was on the 25th (christmas) and my active jw wife and i were out of town enjoying some family time with relatives.. apparently there were many others in our congregation that missed as well.
so few were there in fact that sisters ran the mics.
(actually it was a sister running one of the two mics) a friend of my wife commented to her about how the brothers just aren't stepping up and it "makes her want to cry.
Ok let's take this one step further
Watchrtower study
On the platform,
Reading the paragraphs,
No teaching involved
HEE HEE
WITH NO HEAD COVERING!!
