  a thread on the last page made me remember something from my early childhood.

  remember congregation picnics and other outings?

  i remember when i was little, probably only 4 - 5 years old; there was a huge congregation picnic at a park with food, games, etc.

  RULES & REGULATIONS

  Hello WingCommander

  Our congregation picnics were put to an end in the mid-eighties.Since there were too many teenage girls who would dress in tight shorts and inappropriate clothing, all the young boys would be chasing them around and sometimes they would walk away from the picnic area and not be seen for sometime.Also,"worldly" people would show up and that was a problem with the elders.So,they decided since they couldn't control it,they would put an end to it.{ YOU KNOW THEY NEED TO BE IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING OR ELSE }

  My cousins who were not Witnesses were invited to one of the picnics by my uncle who was an elder.Well,another elder found out that they weren't Witnesses went around asking everyone who invited them.My uncle didn't fess up so all the elders decided since "worldly" people would show up ,they would put an end to them.

  How well is the Governing Body insulated?

  we know in war you need to confront the enemy ,penetrate all the barriers, and once you get inside you can confront them.the enemy has many layers .the wts has their main headquarters in new york.if new york goes down,the rest will follow.once you get to the headquarters,how many layers do you need to penetrate before can talk to these unreasonable men?

  who would you need to confront?

  we know the are well insulated for a reason.

  I think the photos of Silentlambs at 25 Columbia Heights speaks volumes about when they are confronted, they hide and walk away.

  Let me refrase the question:Does the Governing Body insulate themselves so well with many layers so they will never have to answer to no one? And what are some layers they use?

  I need them to come to the table and see if they can explain themselves instead of giving orders and hiding.

  Weak in the Faith = Lose Privilages

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  have you ever lost any privilages due to being spiritually weak?

  i wasn't going out in servive as much,not commenting and wasn't married to a witness.

  i was taken off the ministry school talk # 2,couldn't pray for the congregation,was taken off the sound equipment,couldn't pass out literature,couldn't receive a blood card and finally couldn't receive any books because i wasn't considered part of the congregation.that was fine with me.. what were the signs you received from your congregation telling you that you were weak in the faith?.

  That's a new on me...I've never heard of someone not DFd being restricted like that. A flood of questions regarding the blood issue raced through my mind as I read that.

  They practically force that blood card and power of attorney shit down your throat but if your singled out as not worthy of receiving that material, what would the elders' accountablitity be if you were in an accident and unable to speak for yourself regarding your wish to not receive blood?

  The elder who was in charge of passing out the blood cards at the Service Meeting looked at me and passed me by.I think Blondie mentioned that if you are inactive you are not considered a Witness.I think that was the final staw for me.
