MS...it will never make sense. Like the two witnesses on a bus full of dubs headed to an assembly in FL. Why didn't Jahs spirit jump on board and motivate the driver not to make the wrong turn???
Sorry bud, I deal with these cray questions to

I was an active MS when I 1st started coming to the board. They were trying hard to push me into eldership but my average of 6-7 hrs in the "ministry" discouraged them. ;-)
Now I am a irregular "publisher." --- I turn in some phantom hrs and ride around and do RVs every now and then and drink some coffee. I try very hard not to waste my own gas.

New Member...
by sosoconfused inhello everyone, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.. i am a mid 30's just stepped aside elder, who just couldn't handle it anymore.. i am a 3rd generation born-in and former pioneer and bethelite.
it has been a log somewhat confusing ride for me, but i am finally settling in to realizing that i need to really look at what me and my family are doing.. .
its funny though what really got me here... it wasn't the 40 year old men telling me they were looking at boobies on the computer and hoping not to get in trouble, it wasn't the watching young people bail left and right, it wasn't the ever changing new light etc... but a simple thought.. .

I remember feeling exactly the same way you did...exactly. Read my first post and you'll see...MS too, disolusioned etc. I feel for you, this is a good place sometimes just to type...and give a few insane experiences. Theraputic. Did I spell that right?! ;-)
Take care

I was a "undercover lazy" MS! Barely made 8-9 hrs in FS sometime 5-7 hrs. My average was not a pretty sight, Was considered a "good teacher" from the pulpit/platform. Gave good talks "I guess" from what I was told. Guess that meant I was just a good parrot with decent eye contact and gestures. I was friendly with everybody....I liked the bros and sis, A certain few elders really wanted me to become an elder...all I had to do was raise my hours a bit, and that would do it...how ridiculously simple.
I started surfing this site while an MS....I planned a MS fade and stepped down cause of stress/depression/family issues. Worked great. I am still an active witnoid (1-5 hr pub) miss 60% of meetings.

by konceptual99 inlast night all us servants were called to an important and critical meeting next week.
no one would give me a heads up on it.
our boe went to their secret squirrel school on boxing day last week so i can only assume its related to that.

I miss the meetings about meetings, where meetings will be discussed. What a Joke. I was an MS assistant to the guy in charge of sound...a goofy Elder (who took this job way too seriously) He would email me a copy of the Microphone meeting outline. 1nce a year...no joke.
I. Opening Prayer
A. The piveledge of Mic. Holding

2. bla bla bla
You can't make this stuff up.!?! Even when I was a full believer I laughed my ass off. I hope the F$%knuts at brooklyn see what a crazy ass culture they have created. Unf*^*&%believable.
Keep us posted on your "impo-tant meeting" Kon..99 Curious to find out what happens.

Who checks the secret codes that are on random sheets of paper that come off my printer....Is there a FBI division that handles this?
