by Garrett in

jw
friends

guys,.

don't tell the elders, buuuuut, i sorta kinda maybe never contributed money....ever..... i always thought - hey, i give a lot of my time and energy to the org, so that's how i contribute.

i was also pretty stinkin poor for most of my life and didn't really have the money to give.. anyone else like me?.

CO kept mispronouncing "debt"

by Red Piller in

so, this happened a while ago - but i never posted on it.

during a co visit, he gave a talk relating to jesus ransom (i think) and the "debt" that was owed by sin, etc.... he kept saying "debt" and he kept pronouncing the "b".

so it sounded like "deb-t".

back in my day--late 60's--our congregation servant--(as we called them )--was a lovely old chap--real heart of gold. but he couldnt pronounce words to save his life.

his bible knowlege wasnt too hot either---such as " Paul's letter to Matthew"

but we loved him nontheless---despite his smoking habit and driving without a licence.

Disfellowshipped for Tattoos??

by Lynnie in

are getting tattoos a disfellowshipping offense?

i know several jw's that have them but i always thought they were totally taboo.

what do you guys know about this?

stan livedeath

maybe it depends on the type of tattoo picture--and if its visible

Shorter meetings for field service

by hoser in

march kingdom ministry insert is about how the field service meetings will be shortened from 10 to 15 minutes down to 5 to 7 minutes.

they want the publishers to report more hours.

in my experience the problem isn't the length of the meeting for service but pioneers and publishers dogging it after the service arrangement.

but pioneers and publishers dogging it after the service arrangement.

ha ha ha---dogging has another meaning here in the UK

reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

i bet its very minimal.

naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

Memorial Date this year, why so far out ?

by Phizzy in

we have debated for many a long year on jwn about the "proper" date for the passover/memorial and my conclusion is that jw's get it all wrong for a number of reasons, but as the gospels are contradictory, nobody can say for sure.. most years they are close to the time by a day or so, signalled by the full moon occurring about then.. i believe this year they have chosen saturday april 11th.. this is a full week, near enough, away from the full moon.. what has gone on with their calculation ?.

stan livedeath

maybe the full moon occurs on a different date where you live Phizz ?
