  those boys in writing have done it again.

  the next issue of awake will feature the benefits of pursuing a career in waitressing to allow more time for the full time ministry.

  (singing) "so, forward you waitresses...".

  Yep... I think It's pretty much the same accross the board...

  More or less in the same amount of time 2.5 years... about 4 out of 10 elders have moved to other congs because of differences between the holy god appointed body of elders.

  At the same time you have MS's trying to move up the ladder... wagging their tail trying to gain the approval of the "Top" Alpha Male elders in the cong...

  <sigh> sad

  i don't know if this has been posted recently but... .

  i was just talking to a friend (a ms jw) that told me that he was told by the elders on a talk he was about to give that according to their last elders school there are instructions not to use the terms "the watchtower society" or "the society" or "the organization" anymore... but rather to now always use "the faithful and discreet slave" or "the slave"... .

  In order to avoid misunderstandings, Jehovahs Witnesses try to be careful about how they express themselves. Instead of saying, the Society teaches, many Witnesses prefer to use such expressions as, the Bible says or, I understand the Bible to teach. In this way they emphasize the personal decision that each Witness has made in accepting Bible teachings and also avoid giving the false impression that Witnesses are somehow bound to the dictates of some religious sect.

  It makes sense and theyve done in the past from a suggestion to the congregations they now turn it into an unwritten law

  Still the " impression that Witnesses are somehow bound to the dictates of some religious sect" will STILL remain.

  Vanity Is A Sin!!!

  by SpannerintheWorks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is a receptionist at a doctors' surgery where i sometimes give consultations who has recently had her teeth "fixed".. as she looked so much better, i asked her, "why did you not have it done earlier?".

  she replied, "well you see i am one of jehovah's witnesses and vanity is a sign of pride but the elders informed me that in.

  my case it would be within biblical teaching to have my teeth straightened".. can you relate to this?.
