Hmmm, I think I understand:

"At the same time, on matters of grooming, we do agree that this should be left to an individual's personal decision."

1. Wearing a bear is a personal decision.

when it comes to one being considered for special privileges in the congregation, we feel an obligation to leave this with the local body of elders

2. No privileges will be denied so long as the local elders say the beard is ok.

CONCLUTION:
Even though it is OK to wear a beard, the person may have restrictions imposed for doing so.

So they may err at times. Yet, it is vital that we remain loyal to christ's arrangment

Even when we see them screwing up, we are still supposed to do whatever the "authority" says - without question. Otherwise you are not being loyal to gawd himself.

just finished reading the august 1, 2001 watchtower.

the second study article is entitled how to make your advancement manifest.

well, after quoting ephesians 4:11-14, heres what paragraphs 8 and 9 advise:first, since oneness is to be observed, a mature christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned.

i finally got "the call".

brother so-and-so, wanting to come by and give our family a shepherding call.

neither my husband or i want to be "herded" at this time.. here's my story.

David Gladden

Every time they want to see you, your away, sick, out, visiting relatives, wil get back to you
Eventually they will go away

Jim,

I tried that and the elders started "ambushing" me. I would come home from work only to find them parked in my driveway waiting for me.

They would not leave me alone until they got what they wanted. [>:(]

Mid Eastern decent for correspondence

by LJ in

friends

female jehovahs witness, single, caucasian, age 49.. baptized 14 years.

lives in arizona u.s.a. would lkie to correspond with.

single brothers and of mid east decent.. same age category or little older.

David Gladden

I’m curious why so many women want to "just correspond" (just be friends) with single men that are too far away to screw.

I never understood that.

Usually, the only men that respond to that are men who lack the assertiveness and self-confidence to hit on a chick. So they just talk to the women hoping that the woman makes a move. The man hopes, and hopes, and fantasizes about what might and could happen but never does.

This will turn out one of two ways:

The woman will continue leading the man on indefinitely until he gets tired or snaps under the sexual frustration.

Or

The woman will get tired of the pussy of a man he is and go elsewhere to torment another.

Please, someone explain to me why women do this. I’ve seen cock-tease women do this to several guys I know. What’s up with that? And why do these pussy men tolerate it?
