"Man was created in Gods image"

by Dansk in

ok, we've all read/heard this one before and i've asked a question on someone's thread a long time ago that just disappeared.

by giving the topic its own thread i'm hoping someone can give me the definitive answer............(but i'm not holding my breath!)..

right, my point is, if we are made in god's image that means we reflect his (good) qualities.

anglise

Hi Dansk

Turn the question round.

maybe we have created "god" in our image.

He/she/it doesnt exist but if it did would have the same capacity for good and bad as we have but on a much greater scale ie paradise earth and armageddon, heaven and hell, angels and demons.

Just a thought.

has anyone ever had any dealings with some of the uk district overseer's such as david algar and paul presland.

i remember listening to them speak at circuit assemblies and you couldn't hear a pin drop.

just wondering if they are still do's?.

Hi Caspian

wasnt David Carter in the SE for a while. I seem to remember he had a habit of calling sisters petal and flower from the platform.

I believe his wife died a few years ago.

i was afraid this day would come soon and now it has.

i'm getting a sheperding call this saturday.

i have five days to figure out how i'm going to handle this.

Hi Ariel,

could you plead stress, pressure etc.

I assume you are still at school. If so there is always lots that need your extra attention for the forseeable future.

You could say that you will contact them with a suitable time to call when you see an opening in your very busy schedule.

Dont put up a seemingly unmoveable barrier or the alarm bells will ring.

Be friendly, smile but seem a little preposessed and mentally occupied.

Dont answer any questions about meetings or your personal beliefs directly. Wrong time, wrong place be evasive.

Polyester skirts and recipe cards

by joannadandy in

ahh yes.. eyegirl and i were taking that long dirty and shameful walk down memory lane.

tonight's topic.

the second school, and why it sucked monkey nostrils to be a sister back there giving a talk.. you would think, no sweat, smaller crowd, less pressure.

Hi Joannadandy

we must have gone to the same hall.

2nd school in my last cong was tiny, about 10ft x 6ft with most of 1 side an enormous window shielded by curtains from the main hall.

The part designated as the front tapered to about 4 ft wide. You where VERY close to the audience almost touching knees. Any closer would have been indecent!! lol.

We too had to use informal settings and if possible not a BS.

Most often used was "Talking to daughter who had a question on the MS school item". It was useful to have an available pliant younger sister to work this one with.

I remember another one was discussing a question a BS had asked. How inane.

I always thought that the brothers talks were easier to put together. No silly settings to contrive.

Towards the end of my life as a JW I found it very hard to pull together enough convincing argumentation to put a talk together. I thnk that was when we had just a few obscure scriptures to cover. I cant remember all the details but it was about 1997/8.

I came of the school in 1998 and had finally left by about 2000/001

Corruption.......

by caspian in

jw
friends

.

we are putting together a dossier about corruption inside branch offices involving large amounts of money.. we already have some quite revealing evidence, however we need more especially from the branch in australia and the uk.. any information received will be treated as confidential.

please use my pm.

anglise

Good idea Caspian

sorry I dont have any info.

How would proof of such corruption affect their charitable status here in the UK.

Was There Ever A Circuit Overseer That You Couldn't Stand?

i know this has been discussed before but i think a fresh thread on this will be enjoyable.

Thankyou for the reply Scotsman.

Glen was/is a really nice person. We heard that he had some sort of breakdown. But then I think the kind ones in the org are really trying to help but the rules dont let them.

I wonder how many CO's know the real truth.
