i am not sure if anyone else here heard this phrase.
i did from a circuit overseer when i was a servant many moons ago.
with my newly enlightened mind i finally understand what this means.

Brother so and so refuses to be belittled, bullied or micromanaged
...i mean scriptures.. .
wow, how did i miss this.. open up you examining the scriptures daily ( "daily text" ).
the booklet is about 80% watchtower comments.
does anybody have any information on recent growth in the jdub religion?
other than their own reports?
or, can you point me to the right post here?
Vidiot:
I actually stopped short when I read that again, trying to figure out justhow they were a drain.
i just found a copy of the elders handbook on another site, and before i go gun-ho with it at some members of my family, i would like to know whether anyone here can corroborate its authenticity.
i've posted a link to it here.

"lukewarm" seat-warmers."
The ones that barely comment at meetings,live how they want, rarely go in field service and NEVER donate. Those Jws are a drain on the company's assets
so many times the wt uses a phrase close to that, when they really mean accept the gb's discipline.
with all of these sex abuse cases and other skeletons in the gb closet coming to light, just like king david, perhaps somebody should tell the gb to take their own advice and accept jehovah's discipline as all of their dirty laundry will continue to get exposed and they need to humble themselves.
i've never felt sheepish but the more i learn ttatt, i've been mentally de-sheeped.. .
i wish i knew what it was like to have an unconditionally loving mother.
i know she loves me and cares about me, but only within her narrow wt spectrum.
if i do not meet her narrow expectations, i am a failure to her.
It sounds like something my mother would write to me. Yes it is very sad that these people are conditioned to measure spirituality based on the number of meetings attended and the number of hours written on a small piece of paper.
The religion also shames parents of ones who fall away or choose to do less for the religion. This is perhaps why your mom is acting this way. She is starting to feel the shame and is projecting it on you. Shit flows downhill!
edit - "the days of noah" damn!.
long story short - i need to go to bed!
i was in edinburgh today with my wife (football, coffee, walks, food, cinema) and i always try to take 10 minutes to have a chat with the jws on the trolley in the "big city".. i challenged an older guy who turned out to be an pioneer about the generation.

I find it amazing to hear them defend the overlapping-generation.
