  Remember the Written Review

  by 30girl in

  what exactly was the purpose of the written review?

  it was extremely helpful that the society warned you on the calendars which night you had to skip... we had those boards that they passed out so you had a good writing surface, often covered with witness grafiti like, jesus or jehovah or something biblical.

  remember the little grading sheet on the back; excellent, very good, good -- was there a poor?

  Did anyone have Bro. Completely Correct answer? You know, the brother who says, "that's right Johnny but..." and then drags it out longer to get the exact answer from the answer key he's holding.

  Our hall is full of Br. Completely Correct Answer types. Anything so you can make the poor guy who answered before you look like a schmuck for not parroting the line as was written in the literature.

  All these years I looked forward to the review. What a goof. The Corporation must test the Peddlers on the Product, right?

  Truth really is stranger than fiction...so let me get this straight: he opens a restaurant called "Hitler's Cross" but doesn't serve German food--this man doesn't seem to be a Neo-Nazi--and was suprised to find out that people would be offended??

  Something doesn't add up, particularly in this guy's noggin.

  Landover Baptist rocks. Funny thing is, every so often I run into people who think it's a legit site. Then I point them to the part where they can buy thongs that have double entendres printed on them...

  "Mole" Elders

  by Alligator Wisdom in

  have any here had one in their congregation?.

  an elder is assigned to a congregation, usually by the co, in order to clean it out.

  especially in regards to the elder body who may be going off tangent by wts accordance .

  Wow Lady Liberty, what a scandal!

  When I joined my current congregation 10 years ago, it was an...interesting place, to say the least. But there was plenty of drama between the big families. It was still fun though, and there were lots of kids my age. Then about six or seven years ago, this ex-bethelite came in and shook things up. I don't know if he was appointed as a "cleaner" by the CO or not, but he went to work. For several months, it seemed like we couldn't go 3 meetings without some young person getting the ax. He's done his job, at least. The families in question have moved out, or only the parents remain. Most of the cool people are gone. Unity is here, but at the expense of the families.

  Sir Nose,

  that's the worst dressed Pimp I have ever seen!

  Pope

  His threads could stand to be improved, but he's got allllll those sisters around him! I mean, let's say he's in one of those congregations where the male:female ratio is really low. As long as he's decently competent and somewhat attractive, those marriage hints must be quite numerous, eh? I can imagine well-cooked dinners for him, little favors to catch his attention, etc. And to top it off, he's got that Borg-directed headship to keep him firmly in control. That's what I would call pimp.

  Who Was The Weirdest Person In Your Congregation?

  i guess this is kind of a fun topic.

  who was the weirdest person in your congregation or kingdom hall?

  without naming names, who was the person that was the most creepy, eccentric, or "out in left field"?

  SirNose, it sounds like the demons gave her the clap.

  Yeah, you're probably right. There used to be a bookstudy in this sister's house. She and her husband felt the need to cover the TV with a towel "so Satan couldn't stare into the study" (TV = Satan's Eye).

  There was a sister I used to know who was very nice, but one time when we went to go see 42nd Street, she would clap at random times. People were staring at us by the second half, to figure out who was this weirdo was, clapping at any given time? Seriously, she'd clap for a good line, or just longer than everyone else. The funniest thing was that she'd try to get my sister to do the same thing as her. Yeah. It was REALLY embarrassing.

  This same sister would also remain on the regular pioneer list while never going out. Later it was revealed to us that this sister had mental problems...but it was weird to us at the time.

  How Do You Respond To: "Where Else Will We Go"?

  V's response is what I would counter with first. I figure we'd argue a bit longer about that--whomever is trying to keep me from leaving--but there should also be a stable of scriptures to show that relationship with Christ does not come only through organization. That'll be my homework, I reckon.

  Women in the Org.

  by snarf in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does anyone know of any links or have any info on women's role in the congregation and why the jw are either right or wrong?

  i always felt they were wrong, but it was always just a gut feeling.

  does anyone have any info on if any women held positions of authority during the bible times concerning a congregation.

  The org is really setting themselves up for tough days ahead, with brothers becoming some sort of commodity. Men being baptized elicits louder applause because people know brothers are becoming harder to come by. Some of these sisters are in a really sad condition...specifically, there's a pioneer family, mother and daughter, in my hall. When there are no brothers to lead them, to tell them exactly what to do, they panic. Service time is another example. The sisters are so glad to see brothers at some service meetings, because even if you do a slipshod job of handling it, they are glad that at least ONE brother showed up. I can think of one tough old bird who could conduct the meetings herself, but she's on the fringes of the congregation from years of speaking her mind (also that her kids left the org as spectacular wastrels). If all the brothers were to up and disappear tomorrow, the org has left far too few women with the leadership and independence to be able to run the show.

  They do most of the preaching and get none of the perks. The woman's role in the JW org is really an anachronism.
