Remember this line in #91(?):
"Keep in step with PRESENT TRUTH"
No kidding, that is the line. I wish I could say I noticed it, but it was a good friend who pointed it out.

by Lady Liberty indear friends,.
lately i have been re-researching some things i learned as i was leaving the borg.
for lurkers and newbies, i thought i would share this with you.. apparently long before the flood of noah, was a story told and recorded on 12 clay tablets, of a flood so simular to noahs that it will be shocking to you if you have never read about it.

Only it's not quite "blind" faith anymore, because we have evidence of God beyond the scriptures now.
Oh, please...do tell. I can hardly wait to hear this. Or should I say "see" this. Or is this one of those deals where you say the "Chasm is too great for YOU to cross"? I believe that in the real world where I live, that is called a "copout". Please "Foremost Bible Scholar in the World", expound on your vast knowledge of biblical truths and share with one and all of us this exciting proof of God.

JCanon,
Do you actually believe the things you write? I find that your reasoning is so bogged down in the idea that there is no other way but yours, that I constantly dismiss what you have to say as coming from an unreasonable and unrealistic source. Your mind is so clouded with the judgement that you and you alone are correct that you "trip over dollars to pick up pennies". If someday you were to open your mind to the very slight possibility that someone else may have a point, you wouldn't worry so much and be so critical of those that disagree with your OPINION. Yes, J, it is called an opinion. Just because you say it, does not make it so.

I have wanted to get to an Apostafest for quite some time. I will try and be there as well. I just need to do so without the spouse-dub knowing. Hope I can make it to finally meet people who live with reality-not WTBS inspired fantasy.

Johnny cip,
Did you notice the subject this is listed under?
Jeff, I don't know anyone from Pullman. I myself have a goatee and am just going for my wife-to help with family. The dread I feel having to go to this thing is killing me. I believe it is called Hell. Can't wait for people who know me to comment on my facial hair.

Good Morning Friends,
I just wanted to share with all of you the joy I am experiencing knowing that I will be attending the long awaited D.C, next week. What a wonderful experience it will be to be able to sit with all of the loving and faithul delegates at this convention. How grateful we all are to be sharing in this spiritual feast for 3 whole days. The extreme temperatures inside and outside of the arena in the Tri-Cities will be as a breath of fresh air when combined with the loving, spiritual guidance being dispensed at the proper time. Oh the joy and serenity that will overcome us as we sit and endure these extremes knowing that God will bless us for our efforts.
It is a definite comfort to know that if we pass out from the heat, there are loving attendants who will be more than happy to help us back to our seats, and stop traffic for us after the sessions so we are not inconvenienced on the way to our cars. What a loving arrangement to have Brothers who doubly qualified to count and direct traffic. Some of these faithful ones are even able to sit at the Lost and Found desk, or any other of the various desks at the convention site. We can definitely see God's loving direction in being able to appoint such ingenious multi-taskers as these Spiritual Guidance Counselors.
We can also take comfort in the fact that after the convention is over and we return home to find we have been evicted for non payment of rent, this is just a small hurdle on the road to life. The excessive amount of money we spent on travel and lodging and food while at the convention is a small price to pay in exchange for the wonderful counsel and direction we were able to swallow. If, also, we have lost our job by going to the convention, we again can look at this as a blessing because we know we have been persecuted in the name of god. We didn't need that job anyway, there will always be other Mcdonalds we can work at to support our wife and 5 children. Fortunately, some of us even have a big van to live in down by the river until we can save enough money to get back into the section 8 housing. This of course brings another blessing to us. If the D.C. was held in the winter time, we couldn't let the kids play in the river after the assembly! How wonderful! We lose our home only to be able to camp out by the river for weeks on end! What a wonderful organization to be able to provide us with this grand opportunity!
Well, it is time for me to say goodby. I have enjoyed sharing with all of you my heartfelt emotions about going to the convention next week. I only hope all of you get to share in this loving spiritual smorgasborg brought to us by God's earthly "Counterpart", the Faithful and Discrete Slave. My goodness I am suddenly exhausted-this Kool-aid has wiped me out.

Just reviewing my years of non-appointment as an elder.
by AK - Jeff ini had 'reached out' to be an elder for a decade before i finally understood the reasons why i was not, nor would i ever be one.. each visit of the co, my name was on the list of discussion.
i know this because i was told by both co's and local elders.
the vote was always close, sometimes i missed the cut due to 'low hours' on the part of my wife or daughter, othertimes due to some variation in the way the wts was looking at particular 'requirements'.

OTWO,
I do not know of the book you mention, but if it reads as you say it does, then it is true. I have a friend who is an MS. He was joe q pub for years. He got remarried,and started becoming more involved. A sister and her ex bethelite hubby moved back into the hall. Her dad was the PO. My friend and his wife started doing everything with them. Within 1 year he was an MS. He is less qualified than I am, and I haven't been active for years. I know of wrongdoing that he never took care of, but because of his association he is in. It's all about the politics and like every other person here has said, kiss-ass and you are in. Forget about doing the right thing, you'll never make it. Funny thing about my friend and his wife. Their time spent with the other couple dropped drastically after the appointment.
