at the circuit assembly this weekend i noticed two guys reinstated within the last year were both serving as attendants.
i thought brothers had to be "exemplary" to do that kind of work.
have the requirements changed?
I wonder if sisters in the cleaning departments, or lost and found, use excuses like we do so they can get up for a little while and hang out too?
Hellz yeah! I volunteered for everything (cleaning, food service, contribution boxes) just get out of listening to that drivel and to socialize. The contribution boxes were the most fun, my friends and I have contest to see who would get the most phone numbers. Good times..

I've seen this as well. They are using boys in the sound booth at the KH, newly baptised and reinstated men and the 'weird' brothers. Desperate indeed.
i know there are some of the "conscious class" on the board (i.e.
yknot, miseryloveselders,elderelite,etc...) do you guys still go in the field ministry?
and if so, what do you focus on?
NO!!!
i posted about going to college and getting my ged.
this is an update on that.. .
i am now enrolled in college.
This is great news Noni, keep up the good work.
there is a lot of information available about questions to ask jws.
it's a good thing to make them think a little more instead of being spoon fed all the time.. one question that could be posed is - where did the the 'new light' come from?
(answer) so where did the 'old light' come from?.
Go to www.watchtower.org and research that question if you're really interested. You'll sure find the answer there.
Also, you can check out the book 'Reasoning From The Scriptures' and read the chapter titled Jehovah's Witnesses; the answers to many of your questions are there.
Wow, you are not going to even try to answer the questions using the bible only. JW's are trained to use WTBS publications as the authority and not the bible.
apparently it has come to their notice that "some brothers and sisters" are distributing copyright materials freely to the public at large.
the letter to the boe includes instructions that this illegal action is to cease immediately.
further information will be found in the margins of a special book provided for elders eyes only that has been rumored to be sent or has been sent to the elder bodies..
Daniel-p, google is your friend.
i've been watching my alcohol intake for dietary reasons.
i've been limiting my consumption to a small half glass of vodka, or a shot or two of bourbon.
alcohol just doesn't do well with the gains i want to make working out.
No, it's against policy but we have lazy management. Around here, lots of people take liquid lunches on paydays, Mondays, humpdays, Fridays, humpday eve and TGIF eve.
i was reminded of something i wanted to post here for awhile.
wondering your thoughts.
my jw cousin, who is now an elder's wife and mother of three, once said this years ago.
Where I was raised, you didn't tell anyone to shut up, not parents to kids, and your parent better not overhear you saying it to another kid.
This was a big no-no in my household growing up. The closest my siblings and I would come to saying it would be telling each other to be quiet. And even then, we were saying it out of earshot of my parents.
I would NOT tolerate it from my mate!

well i was going to stick to the boe ltr for a 'pre-view' but somebody deleted my sendspace links.
page 35 para 13 "If the brother has not previously served as an elder or a ministerial servant, ask the following question: "Have you ever been involved at
any time in the past with child sexual molestation?"
Is this new?

Page 30 para 2 - "The Governing Body and its representatives rely heavily upon your good judgment and spiritual discernment in making your recommendations." Looks like they are going on record as saying they don't having anything to do with appointments.
