i note on here the feedback from the currently ongoing conventions that the gb are heavily trying to guilt and shame any brothers who are not ms or elders.

i agree with most posters who reckon this shows just how thin on the ground they are for ms and elders but... my question is.

how comes that even though they are so desperate they still will not allow women to fill those roles?

If they followed the scriptural requirements for ministerial servants and elders and not their own made-up-on-the-fly bullshit rules there would be a lot more elders and servants.

Local Elders whip the Congregation into a frenzy about donating to the Organization

by James Jack in

because of the may broadcast about how funds are down, our elders have been in their talks "encouraging" or pressuring everyone to donate more to the world wide work.. it freaks me out how we already give them a set amount of $600 a month, plus what is contributed by the congregation(usually $400 to $500 a month).

heck, our local congregation bank account even got below $500 for the first time this past may since i have been doing the accounts(4 years now).

for june, we raised a whopping $2400 to send into the branch.. the most amazing part, is that only a select few contribute on a regular basis every month.

We had a letter last night about not ordering annual items because the cost is too high to print them. Just to sit on people's shelves. They encouraged downloading instead.

My trip to the landfill

by hoser in

jw
friends

it was with great pleasure and with mrs hosers blessing that i took all of our bound volumes and other obsolete jehovah's witness books to the local landfill.

i threw them into the garbage pile and watched as a crawler tractor drove over them to pack them down.

Fun at The WT This Morning

by OneFingerSalute in

so ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.

14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".

after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

Too funny. Most jay dubs don't know what their religion teaches.

My Issue: How To Step Down As A MS Without Getting Noticed

by JW_Rogue in

so that other thread was fun but now i need some help with something.

i was born in the truth most of my family is in.

although they aren't outwardly super spiritual i doubt any of them would ever leave.

, I don't go out in service much just enough to not be irregular. I thought perhaps this would lead to me getting deleted but it hasn't happened.

How do you know what the secretary is recording on your publisher card He might be topping up your publisher record card because he likes you to do all the grunt jobs.
