  ok was lying awake last night @ 3am wondering: when jw's build a hall in a weekend how do they get an inspectors approval so quickly?

  ( i know i need a life).

  i mean various portions need to be inspected before the next step can be built, right?

  I mean various portions need to be inspected before the next step can be built, right? So how can they get an inspector out there say 10 times in one weekend so that they can go on to the next step.

  Or do halls not need to be inspected?

  Finally, I found the REAL truth!

  hello everyone, just wanted to say hello and let you know a bit about my story and tell you how thankful i am that i found this site!.

  i was never a baptized jw although in the early 90's i studied for about 3 years and was an un-baptized publisher for about 1 year before my doubts about some of the beliefs and also my inability to overlook the constant hypocracy of the elders did me in.

  sadly it was not before i dragged the love of my life into it, and also my sister (they are both baptized although she left after seeing the elders double standards when it came to doling out counsel/punishment to their own families, he is still in) anyway even though i couldn't bring myself to commit to the org because of the crap i saw going on in the 2 different halls i attended i still believed it was the truth...what an idiot!

  lol when I first read the title of this thread I thought it was going to somebody telling us where they found the real truth and then invite us to go to some web site that tells you how to really worship God and how you can tell when the end is coming by counting and multplying the lines in the palm of your hand. I'm glad that not what this thread is about.

  Welcome N@H. Are you from Orange County too?

  Any "Miraculous" experience happen to you like the ones said at Conventions

  by soundbox_guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had to sit through those experiences at the convention, i was wondering, did any of you used to be one of those people on stage giving an experience about how something miraculously happened like getting the exact amount of money you needed to pay your rent on the day it was due?

  i always hear the stories, but can anybody actually tell me something like this has happened to them when they were a good little witness?

  and if it has, did these sort of "events" stop taking place after you left?

  My thoughts exactly Luna.

  I hate it when you hear of a newly engaged sister (who is younger than you) say well Jehovah has bless me in finding Joe. I prayed for a husabnd and Jehovah delivered. Well I had been praying for one longer than she had. Why did she get her man first?

  That is the main reason I don't believe in Guardian Angels. If they exist where are they when children die, and why don't they prevent it?

  I remember one experience at an assembly where a young boy was talking about how when the rest of the "worldly" kids tells a dirty joke he just walks away. I went to school with his sister. I told her what a good job he did on stage. And she laughed, she said that usually he is the one telling the dirty joke.

  So much for being honest.

  What did the CO talk about on Tuesday afternoons?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i don't know if this is a global policy, but the co would usually meet with the body of elders on tuesday and discuss the congregation and the brother's report cards.. if you were an elder and experienced this, what kind of questions did the co ask?

  did he start the "recommendation" process then and there after reviewing the publishers report cards?

  I'm sorry I hope your finger feels better soon. But I couldn't help but laugh at the way you word things. You are too funny Qcmbr.

  Maybe I'll try that trick to get my hubby to help me get undressed.
