  I still like the old stuff!

  i've been reading sf since grade school.

  i love the old masters like heinlein, norton, asimov, wells, clarke.

  i must admit that the little that i have read of the new stuff is mostly incomprehensible to me.

  Hey that's cool! I used to read much SF before becoming a JW and than had no time anymore for it because of ... you know Matthew 6:33 "putting kingdom first". But now i started again and the the first book was the one of Orwell 1984 - Big Brother is watching you. Also the other mentioned are well known. Does someone also read Stanislaw Lem? That's my favorite writer.

  Elders stepping down - what got your goat?

  by eyeslice in

  many here formerly served as elders.

  what trivia/humiliation got your goat about how you were treated as an ex-elder?.

  the obvious is the cermonial handing in of the elder's book - "you have been stripped of your rank and are no longer worthy of such a fine book".

  When i resigned from being a MS the PO asked me to pass my keys to a brother handling the mags instead of me. I went there to prepare them for the last time and surprisingly the other brother was already there inside the Hall handling the mags. So it should have been just a stupid excusion for handing out them.

  But funny thing was having them been busy with splitting a book study within just a few days

  I told the wt study conductor after the meeting about this point. He said "And if so - it's only a small fault and doesn't change the whole picture"

  But i think this would be a bad suggestion

  qualified Elders, Ministerial Servants, and some Pioneers

  That would mean the leading people are confronted with the real reasons and they'll loose them.

  I personally would have missed a very noteworthy point if i had'nt been to the meeting. A sister answered a question with

  Jehovah?s "great and fear-inspiring day" is certain to come upon this wicked system of things, even as the Flood drowned the wicked world in Noah?s day.

  And that is TRUE ... because we know the flood was not that what the WTS tells ... so it is with their "great and fear-inspiring day"

  I just realized the New-Light in the article, paragraph 10

  Jesus said: "I am coming quickly" (Rev 22:7,12,20)

  The book "Revelation it's climax" (1988) states for vers 7=Jesus, 12=Jehova and 20=Jesus

  So it seems WTS changes to trinity with vers 12 saying "Look! I am coming quickly, and the reward I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

  " But that's another story, because Insight-book and reasoning from the sciptures deny this.

  Hello Blondie, very good comments again.

  Could it be our advantage to simply our life by freeing ourselves of certain belongings?

  Is this why they sell furman street and build in Paterson and DUMBO area? Or as currently in germany sell one assembly hall and build a new one? Life indeed is simplier if you get more and more money.
