There were some that DA'ed while I was an elder, but I don't recall any mention of, nor a reading of a letter of DA.
I just accepted that the Presiding Overseer (COBE) and/or the secretary had what they needed.

Especially elders...
by stillin ini was wondering how many of you that are ex-elders have actually read any da letters.
or did you just accept the synopsis given by the secretary or whoever opens the mail?
as an ms the closest i ever got was "he's an apostate.

I am still supporting her by holding out on sex with Alyssa Milano. What's it been- 4 days? I get confused when I don't have a regular "tension-release-session."

Beards
by HiddenPimo inso i started growing a beard 2 weeks ago and i am making some nice progress.
it has been noticed by many in my workplace and they give me great compliments.
my skin would get all bumpy from the constant shaving and i am so glad to be done with that form of cult control.. last year (i was pimo then) i worked in the video department at the regional convention.

I was still fully involved, a recently appointed elder, when I had to move away from my original congregation and relocate. I went to my mother's congregation for awhile as an in-between situation, so they knew I wasn't going to be there for more than 6 to 9 months. They asked me if I would take on some elder assignments and I said "Sure."
The elder sent to ask me said there was one problem. "Our elder body doesn't allow mustaches." I pictured these men and none of them had a mustache. After a brief pause, I said "Perhaps I better not serve with your elder body." He paused longer than a short while and said "I am just kidding, your mustache will be fine."
But he may not have been kidding. I think they really didn't like mustaches, and hoped I would shave it. But I think he was instructed to say that he was kidding so that I wouldn't say anything to the C.O. if I balked at their policy. -

Blondie, I think the post is just a joke about this lady having a pet tiger before Watchtower's paradise arrives.
Anyway, if that's not what it is, I am confused. -

OTWO, exactly! You only, technically, had 1 glass of scotch!
Regardless of what they try to say, that is exactly what they are saying in reality. (As if "reality" even comes into play here, though!) -

Overlapping Scotch is just having one teeny tiny shot glass full, but filling it again and again while it still has drops in it, so before it's entirely empty.

New Light on the 144,000?
by Ding insomeone on facebook is claiming to have reliable information that the gb is about to announce new light on the 144,000 -- that it's symbolic, not literal.. one person suggested that they will retain the two-class teaching and just change the meaning of 144,000. his idea was that the change would avoid three problems with the current teaching:.
1. embarrassment over more and more partakers at the memorial when the number should be getting less and less.. 2. embarrassment over 12 symbolic 12,000s somehow equaling a literal 144,000.. 3. solving the problem of running out of "anointed" ones who are old enough to be on the gb.. thoughts?.

Whatcha all talkin' bout?
They have always taught that
+ "this generation" was subject to an overlap.
+ the Governing Body (and not the entire anointed) are the Faithful and Discreet Slave.
+ nobody knows the time and date, and we never said 1914, 1925, 1975, the 20th Century or any of that as the start of the Great Tribulation.
+ The numbers in the Bible, including 144,000 are figurative. -

Gunna keep avoiding the hot button issues here.
I just wanted to say that I am helping Alyssa Milano. I am on the sex strike with her. Even if she begs me, I won't have sex with Alyssa Milano.

I think women who want to do so already go on sex strikes whenever they want to.
Men never use sex (or holding out) to get what they want.
Why?
Because sex IS what men want.
