Why are witnesses asking if householders know ASL?
by Chloe ini'm pretty sure this has been covered before, but i don't remember the explanation.
this weekend 2 very obviously jw ladies were in my neighborhood.
when they came to my door, the leader said they were with a "volunteer group" looking for those who knew asl or needed the service.. i asked what kind of volunteer group.

Did other Brothers critisize you for your "meterial things." My big T.V!
by Witness 007 ina brother from bethel saw i had bought myself a big screen t.v {80cm tube 1996} this was the best t.v at the time.
{i always wanted one} he stared for some time, and mentioned in passing that he never watched television at all.
and that this could be slowing down my ministry.

There was an elder's school in our circuit one time and the DO said in one of the talks that he could not understand why elder's would buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I later found out that one of the prominate elders in the circuit had just recently bought a HD.

What is the one thing you will never give up no matter how hard times get?
by snarf inwith the talk of everyone trying to cut back and reevaluate their necessities due to the rising cost of products from gas to food, what is the one thing that will never go in your life...a "luxury"item that has wound itself so deeply in your soul you would be incomplete without it?.
my item is a daily frapuccino, those little devils are so delish that i can't even think of going a day without.

Please, I need helpful suggestions.....
by New light for you ini've been reading this board for a while, but never posted, but now everything has changed and i have nowhere to go for suggestions- .
my witness husband (robert7) in december, the night before the assembly, told me that he isn't a witness anymore, doesn't want to be involved anymore, doesn't believe it.
of course, i'm a good witness, take the kids out in service a few days a week every week... very active in the cong.my first reaction was that "i cant love him if he doesn't love jehovah" and it really looked like we surely would get a divorce in jan/feb.

I am sorry for the mental state you and your family are going through. Life is and can be better without being a JW. You have now found out the real truth (that the truth really isn't the truth) and it is shocking but remember what Jesus said "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free" you and your family are free and you will find real friends who will love you unconditionally. So be patient don't do anything stupid, I'm sure your children won't mind not going to meetings find them some activities where they will meet new children do things as a family and keep reading and learning remember knowledge is wisdom.

As an ex elder, I can tell you that there is no written rules about going to universities or any other training. There have been talks at halls, conventions and assemblies and magazines stating that we could be wasting our time by recieving extensive training for the job market when the new system was going to come soon anyway and we would not be using the skills we learned so we would be better off pioneering or going where the need is great or some other WT defined good works.
Because this has been spread throughout the organization it has been taken by the R&F as a rule or law. It is not and if one goes to a university even if it is away from home, they cannot be punished by the elder's. But they may be, depending on the EB, hounded and talked to about the wisdom of such a decision. That councel from the elders you can take or leave. Of course if you do not take it, you will be considered spiritually weak.and possibly judged by the rest of your congregation.

Being told what to say in Convention interviews
by passwordprotected inhas anyone else heard tell of interviewees in convention parts being told what to say?
the way i've heard it is you're contacted to be interviewed in a convention talk because you've had a great experience in some form or other and they need you to boast about it.
so, you meet with the brother handling the assignment and you go through your experience with him (boast about it).

I hated getting assigned those parts on ass-emblies. I would have to call around the circuit trying to find good experiences and when I was directed to one it was usually fairly bland and then I had to coach the person to make it sound like more then it really was so it would be stage worthy.

If you have to go, make a showing in the morning make sure as many as possible see you there, then when it starts leave go to the city do some shopping then go back for the lunch break say hi to everyone make another showing then when the afternoon starts, leave again go to a movie. Then go home and if anyone misses you tell them that you had to leave right after.

This is some wild and wacky stuff. I hope I don't get an email from someone who was sucked up. O well, I think we should get together for dinner and discuss this further.
