You may be right. It gets sickening after a while. Same ones always having to "set the example". Year after year. We had the Divine providential privilege here for 4 years. Having to set up the folding chairs,etc. They (the little sheepies) wreck the carpet, clog the toilet, knock stuff over, won't take their damn shoes off, won't leave after the boring study is over..the list goes on & on. It's no wonder people tire of such a 'privilege'.

we were helped to appreciate the wonderful blessings from auxiliary pioneering.we may not be able to get to visit the householders, especially when it's pouring rain or snowing, but at least we can warm up in the car and enjoy upbuilding association in the car with the heater on.........that's it in a nutshell.

what do you think??

Keep Free From Murmuring....Are YOU A Murmurer?

by minimus in

jw
friends

wt.

11-15 02 states:"persistent murmurers attach too much importance to their feelings or position, drawing attention to themselves rather than to god.

if not checked, this causes dissension among spiritual brothers and hinders their efforts to serve jehovah shoulder to shoulder.this is so because murmurers invariably voice their complaints, doubtless hoping that others will sympathize with them.

I was hoping someone here could tell me if I am. I mean, I used to go to all the meetings. Does that count?

After-meeting conversations

by Gopher in

to be able to properly "encourage one another, more so as you behold the end drawing near", we as jw's were instructed to do the following: .

(1) stay after the meeting for "upbuilding association", and .

(2) rather than talk about mundane things of life, discuss the finer points of the meeting just held.

Gopher

How many of you really talked about the ideas presented at the meeting, when lingering after the meeting?

Never, everything else but that.

How Long Would the Great Tribulation Last?

by AvailableLight in

jw
friends

in another thread, i wrote the following: .

as a jw i always thought we'd be preaching while all the other false religions were being destroyed by government, giving anyone who would listen a last chance.

in the past, i even thought about how foolish a worldly person would have to be not to listen - after all, we had predicted this very turn of events in our publications for decades.

In retrospect, it seems ridiculous to me.

Because it is
