Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's

by life is to short in

so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

Was the Bigwig flying coach or was the JW flying first class?

Was I the FDS ?

by Simon in

just a thought.... at my recent meeting with the elders they accused me of being of the 'evil slave class'.

i responded that there were not two classes as the scripture said "but if that slave..." ie.

it was still talking about the same person or class.. now, if they claim that i have become the evil slave then i must, at some point, have been the faithful and discreet slave.. but, i have never claimed to by such and i'm sure that if it was somehow bestowed upon me that i would realise it (although apparently, the governing body didn't realise it for many years, but that's a separate topic).. are they twisting scriptures to suit themselves?

Would you do this to your kids? Is this cold or am I crazy?

my mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.

she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.

she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

So millie210, "do not go beyond the things written."

I've expressed my opinion in response to the OP's question. You are free to do the same.

Peace,

Why provide for anyone else (except in dire circumstances) when you could provide at a more comfortable level for your own household? The grandparents in this case worked for it!

Babysitting is fine if someone wants to do it but it's not an obligation. In this case, the grandparents said "no." It's not lack of love, it's freedom of choice and the right to self-determination.

IMO, the grandparents here don't seem mean or stingy, they're simply keeping the responsibility where it belongs.

Why is it "tacky and cheap to charge immediate family members for anything - even things you do for income from the general public."?

Not kidding. If they were starving or without shelter it would be different. What they want are luxuries, not necessities.

As far as babysitting, it's their kid, let them take care of it.

They WORKED, they bought. They didn't accumulate all the things you mentioned overnight, they worked, they saved, they purchased. Now you need to do the same instead of freeload from them or anyone else.
