the details of who to send a gift to will be getting pm'd to you all either friday afternoon or saturday morning!

according to the information i've found online the last posting day for standard parcels is dec 11th for usa and december 15th for the uk/europe, so you should all have plenty of time to select and send a gift, although sending sooner rather than later is prefered.

can everyone taking part post on this thread what things they like, what their interests are etc so that the person who is buying a gift for you has some idea what to get you.

did you always call the elders or talk to them about things?

did you have a favorite elder that you confided to about everything?

if someone was acting inappropriately, did you feel obliged to "report" them to the elders?

last evening we went out with 2 other former jw couples a couple of guys and their wives i knew from the old days of bethel.

we were discussing the public apology that the catholic church just authorized to be made to the child abuse victims for their cases being mishandled as well as that $100 million dollar check they just cut.. .

and i will ask you all the same question .

jw meetings and obedience to the society

by boy@crossroads in

in what ways does each of the jw meetings play a part in instilling obedience to the mother organization?

or maybe put another way, how does each weekly jw meeting contribute to the overall jw mindset?.

this thought came to me whilst drifting in and out of the watchtower study this morning.. ministry school: helps jws strengthen their speaking skills for better defending their beliefs.

To what extent do the elders keep information on us?

by JH in

i remember a few years ago, i changed congregation, so the elders told me that they had to send my folder to the other congregation.

when i was baptized, i don't remeber them telling me they kept information on me, and that they would pass it around to other congregations if ever i moved.. i wonder what kind of information is kept in these folders.

probably everyone in the congregation has his hours listed and the privileges they had written in it, but maybe there is alot more written that we don't even know about.
