hey i'm wondering if anyone can give some good advice on how to step down in the safest way.. i have served as an ms for a number of years, but can't do it anymore.
i know too much i want to fade in the future when i get some family things straightened out.
i can't move right now so that's out unfortunately.. what should i tell the body?
Giordano ..... the high blood pressure maneuver.
"P.S. Depending on your complexion bend over and tie your shoelaces before entering the KH and always when using the KM bathroom. A little rosy glow on your cheecks will help remind everone that you've got a serious condition "

Blondie thanks for your good work!
Too bad these issues are not REAL discussions where people could say what they really think, how it really is!
" a longtime pioneer named Margaret
observed: “There have been opportunities
for marriage in my life, but I just never
got around to it. Instead, I was able to use
the extra freedom and mobility that singleness
affords to keep busy in the ministry,.."

Pure bu$$ s$it!
When I heard that, I so wanted to say - fu screw Margaret!!!

a number of years ago i started doing something i had never done before.. i started questioning the basic premise of things which cause arguments.. why?.
long running controversy usually contains a hidden premise both sides buy into without knowing it.. by backing up one whole step and questioning the basis for the hidden premise the problem quickly goes away.. .
it looks yummy.
Terry,
You're really cooking today I must say! Not that I don't 'see' reason in most of your posts but...............................................this takes the cake! Thank you.
"1.We don't have a chain of custody for scripture. Evidence must have chain of custody. Why? To prevent TAMPERING.
No Provenance? Trying selling a painting as "original" without a provenance. How much more necessary selling Truth.
2.We don't have custody of ORIGINAL writings. Nothing exists that is original pertaining to the Bible. NOTHING"

Ask a Police Officer in drug enforcement about that, - no chain of custody of the drugs - no prosecution!

Oh good god.
Is this the same "brother" we sat next to and who answered up so piously?

a lot of us spend a great deal of time on this board and elsewhere discussing the intricate doctrines of the .
watch tower as if they were legitimate arguments from the bible.. one of these is the issue of blood and blood transfusion.. another is "who is the faithful and discreet slave?".
or "what is the definition of "generation" given in the bible, so we can prove the witnesses wrong?.
Randy that was a refreshing 'slap to the side of the head'!! Thanks.
I felt a load of intensity just slide from my shoulders ...... and now I'm shrugging off the rest of it and running frrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

(a little background info before i ask my question...).
my sister-in-law (non-jw), who manages a popular chain restaurant near a kingdom hall, just found out that my wife and i have recently faded, so she decided to get something off her chest the other day... you guessed it: she wanted us to know that jws are the worst customers ever!
she then told us some really embarrassing stories about how jws would request a table for 15 to 20 people (after a sunday meeting) and then (when the bill came) some of the jws would start deliberating amongst themselves on whether or not the waiter was diligent or not (to justify the low tip he was getting anyway).
Why leave a big tip?
Geez don't you know that armageddon may come right after they leave the restaurant and so it doesn't matter!!

our public talk and wt study is on saturdays.
i was informed by an elder that i shouldn't leave right away after the meeting.. immediately i had a sinking feeling in my stomach.
but not as bad as i would have felt about it months ago.
Nobleheart, it is almost unbelieveable that we go through so much sh$t in a 'free' country, just to be able to live our own lives!!!
If you've got the guts, yes go out with a big bang (make sure it's taped) or if you just need to bide your time, come down with a case of "female troubles" no guy will want to know anything about that!
Good luck

I adore dogs!!! That was so funny, thanks for a laugh on a Saturday night.
