  The complaint about the field service is not the worldly people. The real complaint is with the JWs. It was a burden, or a joke, to people.

  The Presumption of Divine Appointment!

  by Confession in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower society has frequently denied that they are divinely inspired prophets.

  yet they demand they be considered as if inspired prophets, not even allowing the flock to question or have doubts about any of their teachings without coming under scrutiny.. .

  similarly, many of our beloved active jws--although knowing full well we don't recognize the society as any sort of divinely appointed agency--still expect us to act as if they are.

  Good points.

  comment, but I am pleading with you this time. hahahaha

  Summary:
  
  Don't meet with them. Shoot them "the ghost." Ignore their calls.
  
  If you end up meeting with them, don't admit anything. Don't offer
  anything.
  
  Hope you do some nice work in your major, and have a good life
  with what's his face. *smile*

  Funny.
  
  Don't play the JW game. Delete the picture. Let his conscience
  and his wife's conscience condemn them.

  Have you ever seen someone else abort a fade?

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thinking back i've seen a couple of examples of brothers who have almost slipped out of the organization.

  stopped attending meetings for months, inactive in field service and then come back with a vengeance.

  in the two particular cases i'm thinking of both came back as real company men and have risen through the ranks to levels they previously hadn't attained.. i sometimes wonder whether they were consciously struggling with apostasy and chose for whatever reason to plunge back into the organization?

  It can happen.
  
  That's why you have to make sure of the reasons you are fading.

  Faith healing

  by Zico in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last month a friend of mine went to a christian conference in the uk, when she told me about this, she was quite excited, apparently, she had witnessed a miracle.

  she saw a women's leg grow 1.5 inches!

  previously, it had been shorter than the other leg due to a skiing accident, but now, both legs are the same size.

  One of my tests is what were they asking for as far as money.
  
  What were they selling?
  
  Follow the money.
  
  (I believe in some of what people term as faith healing, and
  other psychosomatic events)

  Changes in Elder arrangement?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are continuing rumors about changes that are going to be made in the elder arrangement.

  while these are still only rumors, i wish .

  to repeat that the society must be under pressure to make legally motivated changes to the elder structure.. first, the appointment of elders seems to be much more direct than the appointment of most priests or pastors in common religions.. that might be a problem leading directly to the governing body.. more than that, there is a clearly defined hierarchy going up from local elders thru the c.o.

  On paper, it would be reduced.
  
  They still will get rid of people who don't do what they want.
