Today vs Tomorrow in the JW World

by Funchback in

i am a teacher and coordinator in brazil.

the school (it's for adults) i work for requires that our students donate food (rice, beens, pasta) or clothes or toys every month.

then, at the beginning of the next month, we take all of the donated goods and deliver them to places that exist on receiving donated items.. two months ago, we delivered the items to a home that cares for kids with cancer.

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

NASV

I do not believe the Bible is inspired by anyone/anything but I will collect

them from Thrift Shops for critiquing purposes

How long does it take to get a response from the branch office?

by Homer notsimpson in

jw
friends

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

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

watchtower lapel pins

by wannaexit in

jw
friends

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
