So, let me get this straight, did the father in the drama slaughter the bull, did he put a ring David's finger and clothe him in the finest robes? Was David accepted back without conditions?

BASHING the families of disfellowshiped ones

by Pistoff in

as if the first assembly day was not bad enough, talking about the greedy, fame hungry witnesses who go to college and will not get blessings from jehovah, sunday was worse.. .

i could tell the wife was not happy the minute she came through the door.

after letting her get her "lemonade" in a glass, i said, "so, no rough talks today?".

"Anyhoo, that's why I can't understand that the WTBTS doesn't see that talking to a well-informed 'worldly' person can 'wake' up a "good little JW" to the problems/hypocrisy in the WTBTS. 'Course, there are so many people who actually respond to the message; WTBTS wants more people brought into the (B)org so JWs have to go door to door. I wonder how many people left the JWs due to something a 'worldly' person said, tho...?"

The difference is that Governing Body tells you to go from door-to-door speaking to people about their unique interpretations, whereas the Governing Body tell you not to speak to disfellowshipped people.

It's a matter of obedience.

An insiders account: the effort that goes into a District convention drama

by truthseeker in

while much has been said about bible dramas in recent years, very little information has been given on the effort that goes into one.. i thought i would share my experience.. i played a minor role in the 2003 drama, "boldly witnessing despite oppsition".

this was a full costume drama and revolved around overcoming opposition to the preaching work.. when a congregation is chosen for a bible drama, it is a serious responsibility.

the presiding overseer takes full responsibility for the drama, and in effect becomes the director.

Thanks for posting this, it answered several of my questions. It's interesting that costs have to absorbed by the those taking part.
