  Service Dept VS Writing Dept

  by Socrateswannabe in

  2. friends

  i have seen it alluded to in various posts that there is a major rift between the service and writing departments at the world hq.

  for those of you in the know, please explain what is going on, who the players are, what turf are they battling over, who is winning, and the consequences of all of this.

  i am intrigued but i know nothing about it.

  The Guardian hints strongly at why cults like Watchtower get off so lightly with the UK press...

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this article explained a great deal.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/shortcuts/2013/jan/14/cant-read-scientology-book-uk.

  now i know a main reason why it is so difficult to get uk newspapers to pick up a good jw-related story.. it's not just because jws are a tiny religion.

  after all, scientology is arguably even smaller than jws, and they get more media exposure than we do.. it seems the extreme libel laws may be predominantly to blame for the watchtower's successful evasion of newpaper and television reports in the uk.. .

  Were you popular in your congregation or district?

  by Emery in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not to start some form of popularity contests here but i was wondering how popular some people were?

  how far did your network go in this organization?

  this question also pertains to those who are actively fading..

  yup...remember that line in jerry mcguire - ' mostly they just want to be inspired'..that was my motto

  so i didn't conform, i inspired..championed the underdog, fought for those without anyone else, helped out to anyone who needed it, financially, spiritually, emotionally. i was welcomed when sheperding cos i was a leader not a director.

  and when i needed help..i got nothing..and some of the cruellest things were said about me most of which i don't remember now cos ultimately...

  it's not the words of ya enemies you remember - it's the silence of your friends

  School for Congregation Elders

  by C.O.B.E.Beef in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.

  i was already divided in my heart to say the least.

  one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

  Anyone Else See Les Miserables?

  by BizzyBee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to see it today - by myself (mr bee is on a golf junket).

  i was glad that that i was by myself because i cried so much at the end, i wouldn't have wanted to be with anyone who wasn't crying - and that would not have been mr bee!.

  les miserables the current film is adapted from what is considered one of the half-dozen greatest novels of the past 150 years and one of the longest novels ever written.

  just back....loved it...i'm always amazed by people who complain about musicals not being real cos folk sing instead of speak..jesus wept.

  russell crowes singing is woeful..but it's meant to be...this is a film with songs more than a filming of a musical.. and as such actors singing is preferable to singers acting..and so much more emotional. if you want to see the musical version go to the theatre. i love going to the theatre to see musicals but with the possible exception of evita i wouldn't watch them on screen more than once.

  but this i will watch again..it's stunning

  and i can so relate to the 'prison seldom works for the innocent'..cried my eyes out all the way thru

  reinstatement tries

  by Honeybucket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am looking for the reinstatement guidelines for someone who has been actively trying to get reinstated for 2 years and have put in a reinstatement letter 3x in those two years but was denied everytime.

  are the elders just making an example of them, have they permenately been kicked out, or maybe these people dont want to come back and this story is part of their fade.. .

  has anyone ever heard of people not getting reinstated.

  Girlfriend probably getting DF'd

  by The JHWH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so the local jc decided to df my girlfriend because of basically premarital sex.. she confessed few weeks back to the elders, and the judicial system had its wheels rolling.. they confronted her today, and eventually came to the conclusion described above.. .

  she told them that she regretted our sexual acts, and that we wouldn't perform that kind of actions before we're married.. they talked with her about getting married etc.

  a week before the jc.. now the reason they decided to df her was not the sexual acts itself, nor the lack of regret,.
