a friend of mine called me yesterday and he told me about a special meeting up at the assembly hall in newburgh, ny regarding the warwick project this passed saturday that all elders and ministerial servants living within a 55 mile radius were invited to.
he told me a lot of stuff but the gist of it was:.
1. volunteer to work.
Do you suspect there won't be much Kingdom Hall or Assembly Hall construction going on these next few years?

Three years of extra madness! Will the locals survive it? This is on top of their own bills, families and regular local demands? It will be interesting to watch this! Sounds like potential frenzy. However, the WTS is a master at driving their volunteers hard with guilt manipulation and organizational skills as long as people don't question.
after serving in an appointed position for over 26 years (21 elder, 5 ms,14 pioneer), i have no more dreams of paradise, bored at the meetings, do not enjoy the field ministry.
the desire to do anything is gone.
i want to believe in something!.
Isn't it a 'mission' by most people, or at least something to be 'respected' by most is to: love, joy and peace. Plaques/banners are everywhere on those. Each one of those should be believed in , but are up to each person to find the plenty of ways.
Plenty of busy-ness on 'love.' Love our neighbor 'as ourselves.' 'Ourselves,' yes, our health, 'exercise,' eating healthfully. Isn't there a "good deed for the day" to do. A mission. Help someone, certainly there are eons of services or causes.
'Peace.' A peaceful manner / inner and toward others, should keep us plenty busy.
'Joy.' Unfortunately, the WT zapped/destroys that right out of us, when there are so many, many ways to find joy, reading a book, watching a great movie or documentary, a trip (even just a daily or local trip, an outing).
There is a grand variety of things to believe in, not a one size fits all fakeness, but for every individual in his way.
apparently the jws are doing a new handbill campaign.
they were just at my door and offered it to me with one of their heartless and scripted presentations.
the religion has just become so dumbed down.
They left one in my door yesterday.
he actually is going to become a witness for this girl.
her mom is disfellowshipped, trying to get reinstated.
i found out from a non-witness friend of mine that my friend's son has already bought a ring for this girl and is planning on becoming a witness for her.
The "love-bombing" may help him temporarily, but one slip-up and they will turn on him and they will be inadequate to help him. They don't have programs to help ones like this.
how will the watch tower society move forward in this technological age where proof abounds of all the lies, flip-flops,.
false prophecy, scandals and feckless theology which can be placed right before the eyes of everyone?.
watch this video and apply the same principle:.
nausiously, that's the way it is! And that's the way the GB are that shameless.
So happy for your birthday celebrations!! Happy birthdays to you both! Can not underestimate!! Life has 'markers.' I am a grandma, believe please, we need those markers, valuable, memorable!!
i just got done with another visit at my home with two elders and even though i tried to say very little they took anything they could as a disagreement with them as enough to say they may call a jc meeting after they talk to the rest of the elder body.
so since they are planning on dfing me any way, i'm wondering if i should just write a letter or go through with their meeting?.
They won't take you seriously anymore. Only a letter with letterhead & lawyer's name will stop them. Then, it has to go to legal department.

ugh,, unless you are going to beg for mercy,,they are already setting up the 'gallows,' probably. There is nothing you can say when there's two or more of them elders in on this already, gang mentality has already set in. (At best, if one is alone can any points be made.) Sounds too late for that.
Wish you the best!
