  I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but with the new Elder's book they have added the new offense of "brazen conduct" which is pretty much a catch all for any offense that there is no clear definition of...I am sure that refusing to meet with the JC could fall under that heading.

  CO visit soon. Haven't been to meetings for a few weeks.

  it's been a few months since i've been out in service and almost a month of no meetings.

  the co is visiting soon and i'm already paranoid enough about random stops by elders (although this hasn't happened yet).

  should i worry when the co is here?.

  In U.S. history, James Buchanan...

  During my lifetime, Jimmy Carter...

  Both were wishy-washy and passive in the face of challenge (Buchanan in the face of slavery and the rising Confederacy and Carter on galloping inflation and an emerging radical Iran)

  Things in the past that show you that your doubts started earlier than you thought

  by sabastious in

  i was just talking to my wife this morning about underlining or highlighting the wt paragraphs.. when i was 13 years old i would fight with my dad because i refused to highlight the answers.. the reason was because i wanted my comment to be genuine.

  i felt that highlighting the "answer" made me lean on just using that as a crutch and not truly putting it in my own words.. i still hold that argument now, and i am 26. the only reason you would ever have to highlight something in a study book would be if you needed to remember it, maybe it is fairly complicated or subtle information that could be easily forgotten.. so many times in the wt the "question" has the same phrase that's in the paragraph!

  it's literally like playing connect the dots.. so what i would do is not highlight during the family study.

  As long as I can remember back into my early childhood, I hated field service or talking to others about my "faith"...if it were the most important thing that God wanted us to do, why did I feel that way? It just took 40 more years for it to actually sink in and make me act on it.

  Interesting question to ask a Witness

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you are ever in a situation where a witness is seemingly interested in what you have to say and believe ask them this question:.

  "if what you believed about the witnesses and the watchtower organzation was false and there was no hope of paradise or anything else, would you want to find that out?

  or would you like to be kept in blissful ignorance and die believing it was all true.".
