how many passwords do you think are "1914"?
the more I think of it, the passwords are probably given by the society.
Never mind...

Secret elders website?!?
by icyestrm ini was chatting with an elder a few months ago and he spoke of a secret elders website that only privileged elders knew of.
it is used to submit the monthly field service reports and other letters in.
that is the 3rd time i heard about this and want to verify if any of you know about this..

It is true that the site exists, my current congregation uses it to submit their literature requests.
I don't know the URL, as I am not in Literature.
If you know the URL and a local cong #, perhaps you could special order them a slew of old publications that they can never place. -

How Many People Here Have Been "Disciplined" By The Elders?
by minimus inby "discipline" i mean, either private, public reproof, disfellowshipping or something that got you in enough trouble that you had to be counseled by the loving shepherds and it cost you something by not having "privileges".

I was removed from being an MS for following the society's guidlines, instead of the elders.
However, I stayed a pioneer. Which confused a lot of people.
I would get asked "How do you loose one without loosing the other?"
Since the elders forbade me to tell anyone the circumstances (for fear of being DF'd for slander), I would just say "I'd rather not say". -

Why is the attendance numbers taken twice during the meetings?
by JH inthe watchtower wants to know just about everything and the attendance at meetings is one of them.. do they count how many people are at the hall a second time, just to know if anyone slipped out un noticed ?.

I used to take attendance for each meeting at my old cong.
I was told to count any 'soul' at the meeting.
To point out how specific my old elders were, they had me count a baby that was past due to be born.
I laughed when they first told me... (not a smart thing) but I did what they said, add one to my total.
I figured, what does it matter to me? 88 or 89, doesn't change anything in my life. -

I have been the victim of stalking, though it was minor.
Some girl in Canada found my website (back when I had one).
The site listed some of my personal info. she then went and used this to find out more about me.
She found every one of my IM screen-names, anytime I would log on, she would be there waiting for me.
It was creepy, she knew tons about me. I knew only her name and address (she gave me).
After a month of being bombarded (emails, phonecalls, and IMs) I changed everything.
I no longer use IM, and I certainly dont post my email anywhere.
Perhaps I was petty about the whole thing, but I found it to be disturbing. -

Share a favourite website . . . .
by nicolaou inwww.pandora.com i've mentioned this one before but for music lovers it's fantastic.
you don't download music, you just listen to it.
you can create as many "stations" as you want and you can even refine them.

Did You Like Your Congregation?
by minimus inthe hall i was in the last few years was not a bad place.
most of the people were middle class, some had college educations (like the po and his wife); they generally weren't over critical.
of course there were a few elders and publishers that were pains but for the most part the people in that hall were pretty decent.

I liked my old congregation very much. It was considered a "golden congregation".
No other cong in the Circuit/District/State compared with ours.
However, as time rolled around, I found that the elders were overbearing, the other MS were stuck-up, and in general people were nosy.
So at the end of my time there, I disliked the hall. -

The first one looks like a logo for the Regional Building Commitee in Florida, apparently section 8.
The Safety first logo that goes with it looks a lot like the ones I see floating around the Qbuilds here.
the Safety Dept wears them and tries to make sure everyone is doing things safely. -

The back-room club...
by gymbob ini recently got a e-mail from a 1/2-in-the-truth witness youth who referred to the "back-room" club...anybody ever heard of this before?
is this a new witness youth expression?.
she's 15, and i think she was referring to being asked by the elders to come back in the back room at the hall after the meeting for counsel.

never heard of it being the "back room club" but there was a few in my old hall that could have joined.
they were always talking with the elders.
ours would have been called "the boiler room club" because that was the favorite spot of the elders to chat. -

Bad biblical names for a child
by erandir inthe practice of choosing biblical names for children is present in many forms of christianity.
in latin america, countless boys are named jesus either as a first name or second name.
there is even that singer jesus jones.
