Now it's wrong to sweep up!!!
by petespal2002 inat a meeting last thursday night, so i'm reliably informed, a brother was sweeping up outside the kh as he always does every meeting.
on this occasion however, he was taken to one side by an elder, told it was not his place to sweep the front of the hall, and to go back to a neighbouring congregation as he is "not wanted here!".
maybe only the super-righteous can sweep in public and the rest of us slosh out the latrines!!!!!!!!!

Panda,
Actually what you said about me was very untrue, I am for a diversafied conversation, what I was saying was we all need to be respectful of others, maybe you read between the lines in what I said or maybe it is that you have a problem with respecting others and so you turned what I said around in order to fit your understanding or maybe I should say a lack of understanding. All I said was that there was a lack of respect for all people here. If that bothers you then I am sorry for you because my words were not out of anger or hate but out of kindness. If kind words are a problem for you then you are one of those whom I was plainly thinking of....
And I was not supporting what zeleis was saying either I was speaking on both sides.....

Allow me to say a couple of things. First this is exactly why I only read here rather than be a poster. I have read post like this time and again and I think your all wrong. Just because one person has an attitude does not allow for everyone to have an attitude. The JW talks about Love and I do not see any love in his words, but then I do not see any love in any one else's words either.
Those of you who say welcome here and learn, just what is it that you are teaching those that are leaving ? How to be a rude, inconsiderate, unloving, unforgiving person ? I think we all as human beings need to remember And this has proven itself time and time again that how we treat others is exactly how we are going to be treated. So if you like to be respected like trash then continue to treat others like trash, or we can humble ourselves and be more respectful of others.
I may not post here any more either as this is not what I will tolerate on either side. It can be frightening for some with the words that some of you write here and I must ask just who the heack are any of us to act or talk as if they are better than anyone else.?
Please try to remember that there are many here who come from different places, different races, different walks of life that may not appeal to others but we need to respect all things in others....That is the love that Jesus taught, to love others, not what they do but the person as an individual the same as ourselves.........

Am I going insane?
by ballistic inas some of you know, my main form of transport is a motorbike, and having just got a new one, i'm really enjoying it.
however, i find that in my local supermarket i have no advantage as to speed and maneuverability.
all the trolleys are the same.

I think the whole thing is absolutely hiliarious. This just makes me want to roll on the floor and laugh myself to death. I don't even know why I am commenting on this subject. To me this is just plain dumb.

I don't know you but I have read some of your post in the past. I have been a lurker here for some time too. I am not a JW nor have I ever been but I do have some friends who are JW's. I have indeed read some post here that really made me sick to my stomach and I have noticed that the moderators have complained about petty things and not handled some post that were down right nasty towards some who really did not deserve the words written towards some of your members here.
I think you have a really great heart and you words are heard by more than you know. I am a Christian and a firm believer in Jesus and God, and I desire to be respected for what I believe so in order to get that respect I know I have to give it even to those who believe differently than I. Because it is the purity of the heart and soul towards others that wins those who are in need of hope.
I love my friends and family for who they are and not what they are and I have noticed that many here get lost in themselves and act in selfish ways. The way I see it is we all have to stand at a judgement for what we do, for what we say and how we act towards others, and it makes me sad to see people thrashing other people when they don't even know the others shoes.
Respect is a great tool and a blessing for those who can give it and for those who receive it. I really felt your words deep in the heart and hope that someday we will find that true peace that people like you and I hope for....
I dont know if I will ever post here again, I still am a lurker as I have heard it called here but I will be reading and maybe someday I will have many post here as some of you do..But for now Good hopes and well wishes for everyone here.
