another gem from the same edition - article to be studied december 28 - january 3 (which most will miss lol coz of summer vacation) entitled "what do your prayers say about you?

" page 6 para 19 reads:.

19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

I agree. The only ones who will be stumbled are the SR's who want to judge others and prove how SR they are

New Light: Don't hold hands during prayers

by RR in

from the watchtower november 15 study edition.. 19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

" (1 pet 2:17) there may be a proper time and place for some actions that would be inappropriate at a christian meeting.

(eccl 3:1) for instance, suppose someone sought to have all in a group link arms or hold hands during prayer.

I wanted to think about your post and ask my wife her thoughts before responding.

She thinks, its not the time to force the action, until you know you have support from your husband.

As you might have learned from the experienced ones here, the Elders can take no action unless they have two witnesses to your doubts.

True, in the past you said some things to them, but so did your husband.

If you responded firmly to them at the door, but not rudely, that you're not ready to talk right now, they should respect your wishes. Unless they feel, they have enough info from a prior visit to pursue action.

Still, this should buy you some time to continue to work with your husband.

"Don't ask, don't tell" applies. They will push, but you don't have to respond if you don't want to. Again, if they feel they have the evidence, and are just informing you of a JC action, then you have some different things to think about.

Maybe, a PM to AlltimeJeff might help. He's had a lot of experience in these matters. Fortunately for us, they lost us and never came to call until 13 years had passed.

hi guys.

i was a witness in sunny old london and was in a congregation where a brother was found after being dead 6 days (estimated).

he was an older publisher who had no family and was a fairly odd character.

The key point is, "it was an organized program" The GB didn't want that to be happening unless they set the rules. Rather than saying that's a great idea, we will help you develope it further, they stopped it.

There's nothing wrong with a local congregation setting up an informal program if they so desire, but not organised from a branch level. Sorry if I didn't state this earlier.

It was the organized hospital visits of the Elders that was started. The WTS didn't authorize the program. The Elders saw a need and responded accordingly. Why should they even need to get permission from the GB?

Either way, it was stopped.

Later the Hospital Liason program was started, but that was simply to support the blood issues.

Anyone from Canada care to comment on this?
