  i was on security at an assembly and we were told not to let anyone no matter who they were in before 730 am .

  this bro who was always full of himself come along and wanted to be let in i said we were under strict instructions not to let anyone in before 730. he kept trying to talk me around and failed so he said " do you know who i am "?

  i said " yes a humble servent of jehovah just like the rest of us".

  Good story Esse quam videri, Bless him...sounds like he missed it. I knew an old elder who fought in the Mau Mau war ( Kenya in the 50s) . He used to reminisce all the time....told me the greatest danger were the baboons, they would hunt lone humans...fall from the trees above...he saw them tear a man limb from limb. They deleted him as an elder for alcoholism, he was always drunk but very red faced so unfortunately it was obvious. Nice guy. I think he suffered from PTSD.

  Suspicious Attitude Toward Married Brothers...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is kind of different but i just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

  it seems that younger married brothers are viewed with a certain level of suspicion in the congregation.

  it's like the elders can be friendly with everyone in the hall including younger sisters.

  Schnell did your missis have to get baptised in order for you to marry?Or did you just leave and marry?

  Anyway how absurd that two single adults cannot date. What business is it of theirs if they are not even family!😡makes my blood boil. They have nothing better to Do than make up rules and stick their noses in other people's business. They should shove off and volunteer in a shelter or something if they really want to do some good. Idiots.

  I Think I have Found a Way to Litigate

  i have been thinking about how the wtb&t society bullies all of its members into submission with the threats they use (by practice), i.e.

  “if you do this we will df you and you will be shunned”.

  “if you da yourself, we will make an announcement and your friends, relatives and family will abandon you”, etc.

  Is it true that voting is now considered a "conscience" matter? If so it makes me wonder if the lawyers have advised them to make it so. To order otherwise would be contravening basic rights.

  I studied law as an undergrad and whilst what you say makes a lot of sense, I worry that when it comes to shunning they will claim it's an individual's personal right TO shun others...or not "associate"(hate that word) with others if they choose to do so.They will insist they do not compel anyone. We know they do, of course. We understand "undue influence"....Will the law?What does anyone think?

  i am no fan of donald trump at all.

  i am getting tired of seeing trump topics here on jwn.

  i was hoping that hillary clinton would be elected so i can forget about donald trump once and for all.

  Even though the witnesses have got the age of man utterly, completely wrong it still amazes me what a short time we, as homo sapiens, have been around. And when you look at these items, as old as they are, it really is amazing what a tiny amount of time we have had any kind of civilization. Compared to the great age of the Earth, how long the dinosaurs ruled the earth etc etc Its interesting that the bible writers dated man's time on earth as about the same as written history has been around, or nearly so.

  Anyone else's mind gets blown by how short our history is?
