SPEEDING UP THEIR OWN DEMISE?
by Dansk inwe all know the majority of the society's elders are absolutely useless when it comes to dealing with family matters and as i was sat here reading a number of posts it suddenly occurred to me that watchtower may have started to speed up its own demise.. before i exited my old congregation a young elder was appointed.
he was married without children (they don't want any).
after i exited i heard of another young elder who was appointed (they, too, have no children and i don't think they want any either).. the service overseer was a young elder (a right big head and son of the p.o.).

Their biggest flaw is expected quality and loyalty out of an unpaid leadership. Elders can and will do whatever they want and these personal decisions end up hurting more than they help.

Meetings are very children unfriendly
by Robert7 ini guess the parents can appreciate this one, and this is a very imporant issue since kids are a huge part of your lifel.... have you noticed that meetings are so not children friendly?
you are expected to keep you children, regardless of age, quiet for 2 hours.
the expectation is that they are as quiet as an adult.

With three young children, bobbi went to a meeting alone and one of them was acting up. It is difficult with many kids since you either have to take them all out or stay there.
Well a ministerial servant comes up and asks bobbi to take the child out of the auditorium because it's distracting and proceeds to stand there watching as she attempts to gather up all the stuff that comes with having two toddlers and a baby. She packed everything up, left the room and went straight out the door and came home.
On the plus side, when bobbi dragged me to a meeting I would always volunteer to take the kids out that were misbehaving. We'd go to one of the second "schools" and play. Bobbi got to listen to the meeting and I didn't. win/win
Though I have to admit that our current arrangement is working out even better! -

Is the "My Book of Bible Stories" appropriate reading for Little Ones?
by Princess Daisy Boo inmy little boy, aged 4 1/2 loves his bedtime stories, and also loves "jesus stories" as he calls them... .
now, i have never gotten around to going to a book store and actually buying a childrens bible story book from the shops (yes...i still have a bit of a mental block and some deep seated issues about any religious literature).
my mom gave my kids a copy of the bible story book, as well as listening to the great teacher (the new soft cover book - think it is called that?

They are exceedingly violent. I would suggest hitting up a Christian book store, there are many around .
There are books that focus on bible stories while leaving out alot of gore. -

what is supposedly resurrected at resurrection?
by iblowmynoseatyou inthis is an idea that really freaked me out when i was still "in".
i asked it several times in groups of friends, and i would get two reactions: confusion/not understanding, and silence/looking at the ground.
if you die, and your body disinegrates, and the soul doesnt live on; in fact, nothing lives on, then what is resurrected?

My understanding is that the Borg does not teach that a resurrection happened when Jesus died. What they teach is that when the earthquake happened (at the moment of Jesus' death), it cracked open alot of the tombs, flung the corpses out and the people who saw this are the ones being talked about when they say "they came out from the tombs..."
I remember that. Maybe the resurection after armagedon would become a corpseapult as well.All the angels would be killing themselves laughing.
"Look, here comes grandma!"

Most witnesses don't give too much thought to the resurrection as they feel they won't be part of it.
They all think they'll live through Armageddon, that is, until they die.
I would dearly love to be privy to the thoughts of a witness getting close to dying of old age. They would have given up their main hope and settled for their second choice. Sad. -

Can I be DF'd
by Robert7 inso the reality is, .
- i am in 'good standing'.
- i am questioning/doubting the validity of the bible.

The best answer is, it depends on your elders.
Some elders hound an individual the moment they miss a meeting, other elders never even talk to a person as they stop attending.
If you stop going to meetings and in service you may or may not find the elders after you.
If you tell the elders you question the teachings and are visiting apostate sites, you will be disfellowshipped.
Hope this answers your questions! -

It's in the same line as the Jesus and Darwin fish emblems.
It represents the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a satirical church that maintains similar faith based beliefs like Christianity holds, except replaces the concept of God with a flying spaghetti monster.
Oh and pirates. You can't forget the pirates. -

Describe Your Sense of Humor
by minimus ini think posting on a discussion board can tend to come across in a certain way, personality wise.. i'm the type of person "in real life" that is usually considered quite funny.
i have a very quick wit and i can usually disable someone rather quickly with a facial expression, smile or definitive body language.
of course, you can't see those things here but you might notice a person's humor (or lack of it) by how they post.. so what tickles your funny bone?
