  Presiding Overseer's wife publically reproved.

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  latest gossip round these here parts is that the wife of the presiding overseer has been 'publically reproved'.

  nothing has filtered through about what the 'crime' was yet.. they are a young couple and he appears to me to be very conscientious in doing his best for the brothers.

  i feel sorry for them as i have seen the pressure on them to juggle the demands of the cong with his wife who i think may suffer from depression.. thanks.

  WHAT WAS THE BEST EXPLAINATION DISHED TO YOU?

  by enz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you had questions about jw teachings - what was the craziest reason / answer you received?.

  when we "studied" the revelation book (is it still used ) i asked my bookstudy conductor what he thought about the interpretations that pointed to conventions (early 1920s -getting a bit hazy on details thankfully) ..... he said ".... that was such a long time ago , i havent really thought much about it" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  ok - so if he didnt give anything "that long ago" any thought , did the same count for everything pre-1920 - i.e everything in the bible ???

  When studying 'The Creation Book', "If an eyeball is too complicated to develop over billions of years without a designer, how do you suggest god exists, given that he's infinitely more complicated, and that he has no creator?" Nobody could even give a bull***t answer to that.

  i'll start.

  when two men are fighting and the wife of one intervenes to save her husband from the blows of his opponent, if she stretches out her hand and seizes the latter by his private parts, you shall chop off her hand without pity.

  The State of the US Dollar

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is this the wile e. coyote moment?lots of buzz suddenly about the possibility of a sharp fall in the dollar.

  the canadian dollar is back at parity with the greenback; there are rumors that the saudis are planning to diversify into euros, and maybe even that the chinese might break the dollar peg.

  a nice summary at barry ritholtzs blog the big picture.. i could say that i saw this coming; the problem is that ive been seeing it coming for several years, and it keeps not arriving (and i dont know if this is really it, even now.

  Sorry guys, but i'm loving the weak dollar at the mo. I've been buying stuff from the states recently and saving myself a bundle even with import tax added, also went on holiday to new york recently and that was as cheap as chips too.

  In addition I find it amazing that i can travel to the US, including transfers, for the price of two days wages.

  Did you ever choke while offering prayer?

  by Jourles in

  2. friends

  of all the times i was called upon to say prayer, i only remember choking once - but it was such a big choke i totally embarrassed myself for days on end afterwards.

  and this one time wasn't even at the kh, it was in a home right before we were going to pre-study the wt.. there were roughly 3 elders, their wives, and some other close friends of mine in the living room.

  i'd say there were around 10 of us total.

  Yep, first group study after i got dunked. Last thing i expected. I knew i could never go to another group again, so i didn't. Fortunately i was undergoing a split with my fiancee at the time and i could use it as cover to stop going to meetings without too much heat.

  so i went to see prince in concert last night.

  he was pretty good, but not at his best, and there was none of the witnessing crap that he's exhibited at past gigs.
