  A sad call from an older brother

  by life is to short in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we got a call a couple of days ago from this older brother in the hall.

  he is a great guy who is in his eighties.

  he has a very hard time walking and just getting around because of old age but he is the kindest man.

  His dedication is admorable & should be highly respected, how ever an organistion like the WTS should be, by policy, encoraging frail, ill, both physically & emotionally weak members to some sort of retirement from active field service & also provide a social network to replace the time previously spent in witnessing. Retirement from field service may mean other avenues of contact to preach e.g. letter writing, telephone, email, internet, or just sitting in the park talking to passersby. Expecting & demanding that it's members who are not physicly able to, is so wrong.

  (Damn it all, they all should give it up).

  may you have peace!.

  i have been directed by the holy spirit to bring something to your attention and ask you with regard to it:.

  matthew 17:1-13 gives an account of the transfiguration of my lord, when he was seen with elijah and moses... which was witnessed by peter, james, and john.

  a very weird elder

  by asilentone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember an elder in my congregation gave the talk "godly view of sex and marriage" in the 90's.

  he was talking about masturbation.

  he said to the audience if you have any problems with masturbation, please let him know, he also said please do not be embarrassed.

  my vote is on him being a 'Weirdo' of major proportions. those who have to get up and make those sort of statements are most likely to be commiting that 'jw sin' them selves.

  the watctower says that masturbation is wrong and that the only way you are going to get your rocks off.

  is by gettin married to another jw.

  many jw are born in 2nd 3rd 4th generation and think that the slave is all there is.

  There's A Ghost At My Place Of Employment

  by finallysomepride in

  2. beliefs

  ok some of you will laugh at this, but it's true, there is a spirit that haunts the premises where i work.. it has spoken to me once when i was locking up, it was 1 single word "hello", i looked around and saw nothing, i ignored it, set the alarm locked the door & went home.

  other times i have felt something brush passed me as i have entered the building early in the morning.

  the experience that got to me most happened the other nite when i was called back to the store by security, as i pulled into the drive way there was a man standing at the rear of the building, in the split second of looking away he dissapeared, there's no way that he could have run off the property in that split second.. what do you think?.

  Oldseeker - Kind of wierd that you brought this up so close to Halloween

  Sorry that was never a consideration, Halloween not a big thing here in Australia & New Zealand.

  JWoods - I think I met Satan himself on a sidewalk in Las Vegas. He was disguised as a card hustler.

  He said to me - "come on Cowboy, take a chance - you get five cards, I only have three..."

  Think I met the same guy here in Brisbane one night-LOL

  I'm not the only one that has been spoken to by this entity, the other day when one of my assistants was locking up he too was spoken to but actually by name. it said "good bye J..." spocked the crap out of him.

  During the night items are moved about the store, mainly light items, ok sometimes these could be natural causes, but I don't accept that this is the case always.

  I'm open minded about this subject, about this world & the universe we know & understand very little.

  What do you think?

  I know all about what JWs would say, but as I & most of you are no longer JWs what do you think about the subject of ghosts etc? any thoughts.
