  worst privelege ever?

  by rockmehardplace in

  collecting money after every meeting.

  i could never get someone to help, and i was always last to leave.

  when i did finally have one person who would help, if i used them too often i got questions about why the two of us were always taking the contributions.

  This topic to me kind of demonstrates the disconnect and bitterness that comes to most after departing the Org.

  I mean, come on folks!

  A lot of those things you're bitching about were fun and good times. Don't let your distaste for the Truth™ ruin good memories.

  My favorites:

  - Making Kingdom muffins with my friends at the assemblies early in the morning. We used to add double cheese to ours and stick them in a corner off the tray.

  - Staying up all night at the Convention doing 'security'. Passed out at 4am on the couch for the drama. We were more of a pain to the real security guards at the Stadium.

  - Planting trees at Bethel in the rain with all my friends.

  - Working at changing the territory boundaries with the C.O. on a big ass map. Arguing with him where the line should go. It was hilarious.

  Anyway, I for one treasure a lot of great memories about my 'privileges'.

  And that's all I gotta say about that.

  Did you carry any No Blood paraphernalia around?

  i never really carried anything on me.

  it was always fun getting the card signed and all (a welcome change of pace at the service meeting).

  but i always thought it looked too weird to have that in my wallet.

  Please help. What's the new P.O. called?

  by 5thGeneration in

  are there any active publishers that can tell me what they call the coordinator of the body of elders?.

  does the congo still call him the 'p.o'?

  or do they actually call him the cobe?.

  No worries UC!

  I wonder if the Society changes things deliberately to throw inactive people off guard. It's harder to fake it when things change all the time.

  I had a friend who until recently was an elder and provided me all the current scoops but he stopped going too.

  P.S. Yes, smoky. I hope some that still attend can keep us up-to-date with Jehovah's Celestial Chariot! I used to hate when I was zealous and you could tell when people were trying to fake it!

  Why does every bloody thing become about race these days?

  A topic about what they call the P.O. becomes about race somehow.

  Getting tired of all the friggin' liberal race baiters.

  Okay.

  So I can confidently call him 'the coordinator' instead of 'the P.O.'.

  Thanks.

  Public Talks.

  Hated them and often thought of driving my truck into a telephone poll on the way to the KH to get out of them.

  I actually enjoyed being the accounts servant.

  P.S. How else would you know what the congo gives in donations? One year, I wrote tax receipts for 2 (two) elders out of 10 serving.

  You Lie I Lie

  i am still presently 'active' because of family and have recently been hounded by the elder due to low hours in the ministry.

  i have decided though that i now feel that i can lie on my service report because fds has set the perfect example for me to follow.

  yesterday in the watchtower study they were misleading in refering to millions now living may never die, and also used two scriptures to support the need to witness day and night but the scriptures were completly unrealated and taken out of context.

  I believe Rutherford said both so technically that video is wrong.

  They're just obviously forced to focus on the 'may'.

  Welcome to the board.

  they were misleading in refering to Millions now living MAY never die

  We should put this to rest already that the Society has historically said both 'will' and 'may'.

  They are not lying when they reference the 'may' however disingenuous it is.
