You Wouldn't See This Today In The Cong.

by Undecided in

i've been looking through some old pictures and i came up with this one.. .

could you imagine what the elders would say if someone with an army uniform went preaching door to door today?

notice the phonograph player and the book bag.

Should I send a letter to the CO?

some of you may remember that when i joined this forum i was having problems at home regarding the un issue.

everything appears to have settled down now and i promised my mum that i wouldnt mention it again to her.

however, looking back at the events around that time, i feel that the circuit overseer not only made it difficult for me, but also for my mother.

Question to all

Would it be beneficial to send the letter
"Return Receipt Requested" ?

This might negate your autonomy but it
would assure you (us) that he can't lie
again and say he didn't receive it. In
either event he may not read it and may
certainly not act on it. However he will
know that you know that he did receive it.

Your letter seemed very well written and
also very good input from our fellow posters.
Also liked the idea of sending copies to all.
For every seed planted a few will bear fruit.

cheers,

The life of a Circuit or District Overseer

although they frequently point to the apostle paual as the 'original circuit overseer," the wbts has set up a system which is nothing like what paul did.. paul was not a burden to any congregation.

yet, today the cos and dos (at least here in the states) have the following life:.

car is paid for.

< Which is where you'll be able to buy a PREVIOUSLY OWNED sedan, and just
think, it was driven by one of those spiritual GIANTS we know and love: The COs and DOs.>

Thank goodness a source of spiritually clean cars at last.
I always worried about buying a used car and not knowing where it came from.
Could be demonized for sure. Like maybe sombody had a open container of
alkeehaul or maybe some maryjuanna seeds could have fallen under the seat.
What pray tell if they had had s-x in the back seat!!! Maybe the car had been
owned by an apostate?

Feeling much better about where to get my next sled.

LDH,
IMHO I think the current $ arrangement is
much more cost effective than being stuck
with fixed overhead/payroll. When I see a
CO with a very frayed belt, pants, coat etc
then I know it might be nice to take them
shopping.

I do not regularly see CO dressed very fancy
and with their schedule etc they must be under
quite a bit of pressure. Also must be very difficult
to always be dependent on "handouts" no matter
how graciously given. More pressure.

The following is a true experience:

LOL, "but we really need the CO's and DO's said
an elduh making a sheparding call on me several
weeks after the 911 attacks. Why within two days
the 'message' came from Bethel to the DO's then
to the CO's to the local congregations to get out
and try to reach the inactive ones in this 'time of
the end' ". Two Days????? hahahahahahahaha

What did they use?? the Pony Express???????
I was ready to puke for sure. Proof that the WTS
is God's organized organization because they are
so organized that they were able to mobilize the
troops in only two days, wow what an organization.

Like what about using secret decoder rings or such,
HHmmmmm?? maybe try e-mail??? no can't use
that instrument of the Devil. Wait a minute we have
a web site, maybe we could hide the secret code
and preaching instructions in a picture of the new
system!!! hahahahha puke hahahah puke hahaha

i think i am losing it, as if i ever had it

cheers to all,

Watchtower style architecture

so was it just me or are the architectual designs of kingdom halls absolutely bland and uninspiring?.

i suppose it just like the pictures in the mags middle of the road and all that.. if there was a new system and the watchtower society had control on thing i wonder if they would insist on standardised designs .. 3 or 4 designs for each country to chose from.. if you think that is far fetched that is exactly the policy they have today for kingdom hall design.

there are several predesigned stadardised halls to chose from.

I remember hearingand reading about that.
Was that in the late 70's or maybe early 80's?

I wondered at the time "Where was Jah's
protection then?".

If the "new system" TM is to be a return
to the "perfect" garden of Eden then why
would we even need buildings?

Certainly we will NOT need clothes either!!!
I love to run that one by the sisters!! hehe

The more bland the better. The WTS seems to want
to be in stealth mode so as not to draw too much flack
for their Crap. Yet wants to draw in as many members
as possible.

What ever happened to "advertise, advertise advertise".
hahahahahaha

Even GWB has hired a Madison Ave Guru to "Sell"
the war effort.
