Why not just print the whole quote?

by LevelThePlayingField in

in next weeks bible study session for the cult, it says of a march 15, 1926 watchtower, “the faithful will be volunteers .

to tell this message to the people.” so i got to wondering what the ... was all about.

so i happened to have that watchtower, and this is what it actually says.. “the faithful will be volunteers in the day of god's wrath to tell this message to the people.” .

What's omitted is a qualifying phrase,

I could say I'm going to have everyone over, when Hell freezes over, for

a lovely party,

Now using Watchtower style ellipticals:

I'm going to have everyone over...for a lovely party,

See how this works everybody,

Now let's go show the faithful,

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

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,

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,

:)
