Elder's School Notes Part 1: Quit being so materialistic, you slackers!
by sir82 inask, and ye shall receive.. i will herewith post my notes from the km06 elders school i recently attended.
i will post this in 6 parts, to give people a chance to read smaller chunks and comment on them.. a couple of introductory notes: i wrote an awful lot of stuff, and will not post everything.
for each talk, i will post 3 sections: (1) general synopsis, (2) personal thoughts & observations, (3) particularly egregious quotations.. the primary speakers, who delivered more than 1/2 of the talks, were a circuit overseer and a guest from brooklyn bethel.. to protect anonymity, we will refer to the sadly inane circuit overseer as brother sico.. and the old-timer lifelong brother from bethel, completely out of touch, as brother bethel-coot.. one more introductory comment: it seems the main points the society wanted to send to elders were:.

I also have a friend in the video game industry, he told me "satan" clocks in just like everyone else, gets his two 30 minute breaks, was considered for a promotion to "master developer" but was turned down because he was spending too much time on the "chicken little" video game....Actually "satan" was the mastermind behind the idea where "chicken little" dies at the end of the game from bird flu.

Worked for a family of JW's a few years ago which included papa JW(dad) mama JW(mom)and of course baby JW(son). Although I was not one of JW's, they allowed me to hold the position of "man of many uses" which included the title of logistics Mgr. There were at least 6 JW's who worked in other parts of the company, the others were "worldly" persons....When papa JW decided to retire from the company, baby JW took over and what do you think was his first order of business? He wanted to replace his 6 fellow JW's with automated machinery to save money(this is a multimillion $$$ a yr business!). Myself being a pro-worker type of person went to bat for the JW's who were about to lose their jobs to a robot. Baby JW was adamant and unmoving in his bid to replace them. Anyway after a few heated rounds of meetings, he decided to withdraw his "idea". Long story short, a few months later I was laid off and replaced with 4 people, can anyone see the logic here?,lol.......I still wonder if the JW's whos jobs I helped saved really appreciated me standing up for them. I never have recieved a single thank you. I moved to a different city since then and have a job in the same field with much more $$$ and definately more respect, my bosses are "worldly people".

What is the most unique name you've encountered?
by Why Georgia inthis question comes to mind right now because i seem to be surrounded by pregnant women.
3 of the mom's in my sons' kindergarten class of 12 - are pregnant and in the other classes i notice a similar trend.
it's not a large school - maybe 60 kids max between the preschool and kindergarten.
