Nursing my baby. Not in a wierd way but in a motherly way. He would make these singing noises while he was nursing and look up at me and smile. It was the most beautiful experience. Also just kissing his little face.

during my tenure as a jehovahs witness, i brought it to the elders attention to refer to .
me by using my first or last name when addressing me.

I remember back before I was baptized I had raised my hand for the Watchtower question and the speaker referred to me as sister.
Once the program was over, Sister Nosey ran up to the speaker and I overheard her telling him that I was unbaptized and not a sister. It kinda hurt my feelings at the time.
After my baptism she came up to me and said. 'its official, your a sister now' and everyone was calling me sister in a very overly intentional way. I was wierd.

Matthew 24:14 fulfilled?? What the....
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel inrecently i read a thread about a speaker at a special assembly announcing that this scripture had possibly been fulfilled.
cant remember his name.
now since this speaker was making this announcement on his own accord, what form of discipline was metted out to him?

I understand how the WTBS is always claiming thier action as fullfilling bible prophecy. I guess a lot of religions claim to have. It was the phrase 'been fulfilled' that bothers me. Its one thing to say 'being fulfilled' and another to have 'been fulfilled'.
It also bothers me that this brother announced it on his own accord without approval from the GB but rather based on his own observations or feelings. Unless the GB of course had a hand in this as a way to reign in loose sheep and then claiming later that anyone stumbled by this probably never loved God anyway.
Isnt leaving the brother unchecked and unpunished they same as compliancy?

Actually it was in reference to another post where the speaker said something like..." I am going to put these notes down for a minute and say something and would like for you to listen very carefully..."
Then goes on to say that because he has the privie to work in Bethel and by the side of the GB and FS that the feeling is that Matthew 24:14 has been fulfilled.
The talk was 'Be Intensly Occupied With God' There was a creepy audio.
I was just wondering if this guy was ever disciplined.

I mean, to overstep his bounds and make an announcement like that without GB approval? Or is this how they present their new light...by testing it out on the sheep and then when nothing happens they said that it was a rumor out of control but never officially announced?

OMG!!! Its not like she got a life sentence. Its not even a month. I betcha she will be out again before the 28 days is over.
Personally, I feel a little bad for her but then on the other hand this is one of those hard lessons in life. A person with money should not be exempt from the law. If it was anyone else, they would have to serve their time.

Elder wife (sister nosy posey) was always harrassing me to get out in service even when I was six and a half months pregnant and huge because I was initially carrying twins but lost one in utero. I had a difficult time walking because of a pinched nerve but sister nosey would lay on the guilt trip and with every excuse I tried to give her she would come up with another possibility for her to pick me up and head out to service.
She promised to walk slow but she kept walking too fast. By the time I was halfway up the walkway of a householder she was coming back down. I remember being so pissed off because of her forcing me to endure so much pain by walking so fast. Other moments I saw a look of anger on her face because I was slowing her down. Finally I said under by breath..'screw this' and I went back to the car and sat there for the remainder of my service.
Two days later I was in the hospital with excessive hemoraging. I remember standing up and blood just pouring out of me and within seconds there was a puddle of dark blood the size of a dinner plate on the floor. They almost had to do an emergency c-section but the bleeding stopped. The HLC was at my bedside within the hour as I was signing my life away because of the blood issue. I almost lost my baby and my life.
I ended up stuck in the hospital for the remainder of my pregnancy and had a c-section and a premie. But I didnt have to go out in service for a while.

NEW policy! NO LIT for EX-JWs!
by MinisterAmos init's official; they read the letter tonight that puts forth the new procedure.
if you find an expelled person in the field or are studying with one, you are no longer permitted to give them lit.
presumably the elders make a decision if an expelled one is regularly attending meetings, but only they can give them lit.

When they go to a door do they now have to ask the householder if they are apostate or DF'd? How do they judge who is worthy of their life saving message?
What was that scripture about leaving the 99 sheep behind to retrieve the one lost. They could care less. They have set themselves up as judge, jury and executioner.
