  i think there was a thread on this at some point but search is not working, wouldn't know the keywords anyway.. but like i just thought of escape from brooklyn bethel - instead of escape from new york.. it would be cool if someone can write little blurbs for these too.

  anyone have/remember others?

  The most condescending thing said to you by the (sm)elders.

  i wasnt the most academic of children although i had some capability but i could read quite well by the time i was 4 years old at least for my age; i have always read as a child and still read now as an adult both professionally (research) and for pleasure.

  i have always been able to write too...and pretty much advanced as well as my peers did in school...perhaps i am lucky, i certainly feel like i am when illiteracy amongst adults and children is rife at present...however.. i remember when i was 16 the wts in the uk were pushing through a scheme teaching those who were not as able to read and write...and an elder in the hall made a point of coming to me and suggesting that i should actually attend the training!!

  !....i explained that i could read and write well enough and didnt need to be taught basic literacy... he said that i might learn something new and should respect jehovahs order of things and show appreciation...i did decline his kind offer rather abruptly....but wtf??

  an up and coming young married (with no kids) MS was constantly giving my 15 year old son "fatherly advice" as i was a single parent. he tried to override my decisions constantly which i didn't appreciate. my son was highly conflicted and thought it wasn't right. i love these meddling MS and elders who are clueless!

  20 years ago..a talk concerning field service..sisters crying..eyes opened

  by confusedjw in

  well i can't recall now which public talks it was - one of my first - and it dealt with field service / preaching.

  so i thought i would interview several people in the congregation about service and their thoughts and feelings on the subject, expecting something very different than what i got.

  to my shock (i was an over zealous young buck who thought the sun rose and set on the wt) three sisters burst into tears as they told about their feelings of inadequacy and guilt over field service.

  An observation:

  It seems the younger generation is not sticking it out for years and years and years the way we "older" ones did. . . glimmer of hope here!
