historically the elders meeting with the circuit overseer has had the following format : outline for meeting including ministerial servants then, after they have been dismissed, discussion of local issues.

the last visit there was an additional outline for the elders only, the notorious "gender blurring" discussion.. you might wonder what is being discussed this time round, so here you are:.

I've heard some of the elders call the co by his last name only before or after his visit. A sign of disrespect in these parts.

Self-Driving vehicles and delivery robots - why?

by FadeToBlack in

i saw a 'news' article today about pizza hut (i think) delivering pizzas via a robotic vehicle in nz.

also another article headline saying it is not a question of if, but when.

my immediate thought was, why?

I've been told that driverless vehicles rely on the lane markings to know where they are. It doesn't work too well when the markings are covered with snow.

Self driving cars won't work in canada so I'm not too worried about it.

Making friends in the "truth"

by Jordandemm in

what is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?

don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.

i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

The preceding comments are spot on. If you don't act the way the cult wants you to act you are ignored and have no friends in the congregation. It is used by the cult to control the members.

Go in field ministry regularly and people will invite you to their homes and hang around with you Miss a month or two of service and they will ignore you.

A couple of years ago I realized I was wasting my time developing relationships with conditional friends. If I were to be really down on my luck would they be there for me? If I was an alcoholic or addict living on the streets these same "friends" would cross the road to avoid me.

Hiererchy among elders --so says Kenneth Flodin

by wannaexit in

there has always been a hierarchy among elders.

now it's been validated by kenneth flodin in this talk about the word "princes".

so not any elder can be a prince in the new order.

hoser

All of the elders are equal, but some elders are more equal than others.
