My personal proof elders are not spirit appointed

by stillajwexelder in

i was congregation secretary.

all of us were against appointing a particular ms as elder despite the fact he had regular pioneered for 15 years.

the reason was he told crude jokes and all in the congregation knew it.

bikerchic

NO! Say it ain't so!

Do you mean to say that Jehovah's Holy Spirit™ was not behind this scenario that played out in the last Congregation I was in:

DO and CO come to town (small town) for an impromptu JC of the PO in my congregation who was having an affair with a sister who not only was in the same congregation but also worked for the company the PO owned (family JW owned company), got the picture? Oh and her husband also worked for the same company. PO gets not only removed as an elder and PO but is told his company will pay many thousands of dollars to this sister to shut her up as she was threatening a sexual harassment law suit against the JW company!

He paid or rather the whole family did via the company funds, she and hubby left the B'org never to be seen again! I heard they set up their own church and went apostate! LOL

Gosh I thought Jehovah loves a bribe when it's to protect his good name from being slammed all over the local papers!

Had tooth pulled-tremendous pain

by Angry_Kangaroo in

jw
friends

yesterday i had an abscessed wisdom tooth pulled.

the pain now is much more severe then before it was pulled.

the worst pain is where the dentist gave me the local injections-it hurts so bad!

bikerchic

((((A-K))))

Man I feel for you! I have nothing more to offer you in the way of help that wasn't already said, I was going to say rinse with salt water, dry socket ect...but I'm glad you're going to another Doc on Monday. Until then dope yourself up on meds and rest!

I had no idea that going to the dentist could be pain free until I moved away from our family dentist of over 20 years and went to my current husband's dentist. I have apologized to all my kids for putting them through the family dentist!! I seriously thought you were supposed to hurt after a cleaning! grrrr!

Now I almost look forward to going and I always ask for the gas no matter what I have done! I love that stuff! Anyway my gums don't hurt afterward as this Dentist is so gentle I never have any kind of pain afterward, well maybe a little discomfort but nothing to keep me up at night over.

Hope you feel better soon!

Re: Scully's talks, a question

by carla in

thank you scully & friends for all that info!.

i have a question, in the past many of you have bemoaned having to give a # 4 or 6 talk for instance.

are these the talks you were talking about?

bikerchic

Thanks for that c/p kilfoy!

ASSIGNMENT No. 3: 5 minutes. This will be assigned to a sister. Students receiving this assignment will either select a setting or be assigned one from the list appearing on page 82 of the Ministry School Textbook. The student should use the assigned theme and apply it to an aspect of field service that is realistic and practical for the territory of the local congregation. When no references are indicated as source material, the student will need to gather material for this part by doing research in publications provided by the faithful and discreet slave class. Newer students should be assigned talks for which references are supplied. The school overseer will be particularly interested in the way the student develops the material and the way she helps the householder to reason on the Scriptures and to understand the key points of the presentation. Students assigned this part should know how to read. The school overseer will assign one assistant.

ASSIGNMENT No. 4: 5 minutes. The student should develop the assigned theme. When no references are indicated as source material, the student will need to gather material for this part by doing research in publications provided by the faithful and discreet slave class. When assigned to a brother, this part may be given as a talk with the Kingdom hall audience in mind. Or the school overseer may suggest that for certain speech counsel points, a brother may handle his assignment with a field service setting. When a sister is given this part, it should always be presented as outlined for assignment.

That made me puke! Talk about mind control......leaves no room for "free thinking"! Man I forget how protected we were from the outside world, why I didn't see this as cult-like back then?! It's so obvious to me now.

I've found it difficult to explain to the uninitiated how the woman never speaks directly to the audience but rather rehearses a little role-play on stage.

Because the woman is not to be a teacher in the Congregation when there are able bodied men around to do so she would have to wear a head covering. Somehow teaching a ~~supposed~~ pretend Bible Study is not the same.

I'm also looking for the general outline. That is, what distinguishes a #3 from a #4 and #6.

The explanation of the talks to be given are also on the yearly schedule ie; it explains for say talk #1 it's to be given by a brother™and to cover the material outlined say pages such and such in some book or another and it's to be a 5 minute talk. There is no outline for these talks just material in given publications to be covered and a time allowance for each talk.

So where are the outlines for the #3, #4, and #6 talks? I couldn't find them in my husband's TMS book. And before you ask, I woke him up to get permission first to snoop through his WT stuff.

Oh boy you task me jgnat!

If I remember right yearly an insert in the Kingdom Ministry™ came out with that years material to be covered in talks #'s 1-4. It was also posted each month on the Information Board™ in the back of the Hall™ where the assignments were then known who would be giving what talks, what night whom your householder™ would be ect. You were also given an Assignment™ slip by the School Conductor™ to remind you of your talk and what points you would be graded on.

I am surprised how little I remember of this! This is good, no?

So For The XMAS thru New Years, I have tried to do this....I need HELP

by Sparkplug in

jw
friends

after today i really have to tell you that it was so sweet to come here and see that i had something that someone likes.

i needed that.

i can say for everything you like, there is something in each one of you i am sure i see that i admire back and if not, i have not yet spent any time with you.

bikerchic

WOW!

You never cease to amaze me Sparky! What a huge undertaking and something I've thought of doing many times so many of you have touched me in ways that you'll never know and our brief interactions may give the wrong conclusion especially if it was due to my moderating one of your posts. I just hope y'all understand my intentions were/are always good and I've rarely held a bad feeling towards anyone here.

If you were a woman, bet you'de find yourself marrying him...lol
On bended knee I fervently pray:
Oh my dear God in heaven, have mercy on my soul, and save me from such a terrible fate as this!

*choke* I can only imagine you've made poor sixy a praying man again.......he's probably praying the same thing Craig! LOL

Anyway thank you for your kind words about me Sparky I'm glad we have such a mutual respect for each other, I value that.
