NEW BOE LETTER - It just got exponentially harder to "fade"
by sir82 in

here is the text of the letter:.

february 2, 2014. .

your brothers,.
molybdenum

One piece of information about the origin of shepherd was interesting:

Source: Online Etymology Dictonary

Old English sceaphierde, from sceap "sheep" (see sheep) + hierde "herder," from heord "a herd" (see herd (n.)). Cf. Middle Low German, Middle Dutch schaphirde , Middle High German schafhirte , German dialectal Schafhirt .

Shepherds customarily were buried with a tuft of wool in hand, to prove on Doomsday their occupation and be excused for often missing Sunday church.

Watch out, they may be after your hair on the next shepherding call

at the meetings i've noticed over the past 2 years or so brothers asking for 'special blessings' for the governing body.

it was everyonce in a while at first.

now it is almost at every single meeting!

The Slave

We are the slave so faithful and true
we are here to look after you

You shall obey us, like it or not
even when we lie somewhat

We are your brothers, that is all
but disobey us, then you fall

We are your fellow domestics too
but never tell us what to do

We give you the food that you need
in WT articles from which you feed

We travel the world to give you talks
so you never wear tight pants for walks

We know what you need before you pray
just do it the Governing Body way

We meet three times a week to decide what to do
but we don't need any input from you

Just your donations, your money, we need
to build and invest, but it's not greed

Pray for us to do our best
we don't care about the rest

We are the slave, so faithful and true
we like it that way and so should you.

My thoughts:

Waiting for Armageddon, still not here.

Going to assemblies, backache, headache, heartache.

Field service with Dad, cold rain.

Anyway, if anyone wants to contribute, please do.

Our Kingdom ministry March 2013 Question
by RobertT18 in

2. bible
is it true that the march ministry is hinting that this year will be the last memorial, someone just said that today in the service, just wanted to confirm.. .

.

edit: forgot to add the month..
molybdenum

Why is that question slotted in here anyway?

Will we have fish for lunch?

We don't know?

seems just as relevant.

Three Comments & An Ass-Chewing
by piztjw in
1. watchtower
2. bible
so, normally if i go to a meeting i sit and don't say a word through the entire ordeal.

however today i just could not keep my big mouth shut.. it was funny that i even got called on....three times none-the-less.

of course 99% of the sheeple just sat with blank looks on their mugs this morning.

I really don't think anyone in my congregation had a clue what was going on.

Dukes ( John Wayne?) ??

I usually just zone out anyway during the WT study, but this one was a doozy.

Almost everyone seemed to be zoning out and the conductor was desperate for comments

(most of which were read straight from the WT anyway.)

I almost felt a collective sigh of relief when it was over.

Who writes this stuff? Are they on something?

Tears of Joy streaming down the Levites faces? ( Para 7)

Where did that come from?

Can't wait for next weeks WT

OBEY JEHOVAH'S SHEPHERDS

Yes Sir! Cetainly Sir!

A new song

pie in the sky.

it's only pie in the sky.

it's only pie in the sky.
molybdenum

Not only the 144000 can sing it

Based on Bad Moon Rising ( CCW )

I took the liberty of changing some of the lyrics

but I am sure some of you can improve it.

PIE IN THE SKY

We know that Armageddon's coming
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and fighting
I see bad times today

But don't believe the lie
Armaggedon's not nearby
It's only pie in the sky

We know we are the chosen people
I know the end is coming soon
I fear the Governing Body
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don't believe the lie
Armaggedon's not nearby
It's only pie in the sky

We have a hope of never dying
We have a hope of staying young
We can see the bright horizon
God's new world will surely come

Don't believe the lie
Armaggedon's not nearby
It's only pie in the sky

Hope you got your things together.
The Great Trib is coming really soon
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
Signs in the stars and moon

Don't believe the lie
Armaggedon's not nearby
It's only pie in the sky

Prepare for meetings??
by Jen1 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
do you prepare for meetings?

if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!

in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.
molybdenum

I sometimes see that some have highlighted the WHOLE paragraph.

Personally I prefer the cloze type method.

I highlight every 7th ( seven being representative of sacredness) line.

That way you are bound to hit on some of the right answers.

Also it looks kind of neat and doesn't really take up much time.

Well, I can do a passable imitation of G. Jackson.
