  that reminds me of the visa application form for the u.s.a.

  there are yes/no questions that you have to check. I do not know the exact wording but they are very similar to:

  - are you going to the u.s.a. for terroristic activities -> yes no
  - are you going to the u.s.a. for selling drugs -> yes no
  etc

  then under this it says:

  if checked yes to one of those questions above it does not mean that persmission to the u.s.a. will not be granted.

  ha ha ha, sure

  Question for Ex Elders... Field Service

  by zeroday in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  behind the scenes, how did the elder body view field service.

  were they enthusiastic about it, viewed it as necessary to maintain their position or just indifferent about it.

  in my 28 years inside i know of only one elder that had the pioneer spirit and actually pioneered when he retired.

  the view it as something important, but have busy jobs themselves, which they use as excuse.

  the also view it as something to measure the spiritual state of the 'sheep'.

  most actually do it because they need to be good example, not because they like it so much. Many time it is conviniantly used to get to know the members of the congregation better.

Hoeveel exemplaren er jaarlijks van de Bijbel worden verspreid, is niet met zekerheid te zeggen. Schattingen lopen uiteen van 50 tot 100 miljoen. In elk geval zijn het er flink minder dan de Ikea-catalogus, waarvan de oplage bovendien elk jaar gestaag groeit.

  The ikea catalog has been been printed this year, with about 175 miljoen issues, in 35 countries and 27 languages. ... The number of printed issues each year of the bible are not exactly known. Estimations are between 50 to 100 milion. This is far less the the latest ikea catalog, which also grows each year considerably.

  2. friends

  the gorilla .

  when another gorilla made an attempt to reach the banana, the same thing happened: all the gorillas were sprayed with cold water.

  over time the original five gorillas were replaced, one by one, with new gorillas.

  Serendipity:

  Hi Danny,

  When he comes to visit you, will you reveal you're an "apostate"? ; ; Let us know how the visit goes.

  I will tell all about it here. but no, I'll not reveal everything... Nahan:

  Tongue?

  What do you mean? Juni:

  If this elder knew you were apostate, would he still be friendly?????

  That's nice that you were normal acting towards his DF daughter - made you a "good guy" in his eyes. ; Also he WANTS warmth shown his daughter in hopes she'll come back, so again he has reason for liking you.

  Test his friendship out. ; Be up front. ; Let him know how you feel about the religion. ; That's the test of a true JW friend.

  Juni

  I do not consider him my friend. I do not have that much contact.
  If he knows I am an apostate he would probably be correct to me, but shun me I guess.
  Not directly and not completely, but still... jwfacts;

  No matter how liberal he is with his daughter, be careful what you say. Very few elders will allow comments that show you have grievance with the WTS.

  That is true. Although he uttered some too. It depends a bit on how you say things. You can say a lot in the form of a question for example. I'll try to be carefull... Danny
