  maybe we should create one if one hasnt been done already and make sure that people get it...not thought about how but the notion sounds good...

  i hope i haven't jumped the gun on this one, but it was too exciting to keep a secret.

  for all of you who followed my trial, and the diappointing results, will find this interesting.

  i have always felt that this story, the whole story, needed to be told.

  MARKING TALKS

  by diamondblue1974 in

  there used to be a practice where the elders would announce that a talk would be a marking talk and that it would relate to marking someone for some actions they have taken.

  the marking would be anonomous and i remember a great deal of confusion being created when a talk was given because the congregation didnt realise who they should or should not talk to....(i know it sounds ridiculous).

  what is the scriptual basis for this action?

  (I switched congregations not long after. But that was the beginning of the end for me, I think. I watched them all scurrying around, whispering around me, etc., and thought, "How pathetic.")

  You did right...although...wasnt it the beginning of the beginning?

  but you have to admit that some are nice caring people.

  my wife missed the meeting to night due to flu and a sister who has far more health problems than us phoned to ask after her.

  she even asked after me, brother 'long time no see'!

  blondie...good points raised....you are like an encyclopedia!!!

  I remember well my younger days of being taken into the toilets and spanked...as well as memories of others who suffered the same; funny how most halls throughout the world mirror each other.

  The same thing used to happen with us too...an elder had decided to have a rest...(he was 94) and earlier there was a disfellowshipping talk too...both were unconnected to each other but this time there was no clarification given and this caused some hurt for both his wife and his family...

  Still what can you do?

  Does this still go on? what is the scriptual basis for this action? and doesnt it sound like disfellowshipping has gone down the same ambiguous route?
