I'm glad I was never an MS or Elder. Who wants to go to long boring 'Sausage Fest' meetings?

had a brief conversation with by jw father a few days ago, unfortunately still an uber witness and as a cboe he has nothing else in his life.. he brought out that he was getting ready for the elders school.
not sure if he was bragging or wanted sympathy for having to go.
lol.. i didn't press him on the details, though i wanted to ask if they would be covering all 7 chapters in the new manual on how to df people.

in my forum, an active japanese jw (my friend) taught me what he studied in the meeting recently.. that is the meeting on sunday (12/19) a few days ago.. in the material they studied on that day, it is written like this.. "the greek word translated honor in the bible conveys the sense of esteem, value, preciousness.
(luke 14:10).
yes, those we honor are precious, valuable to us.".
You are correct Possible san
Nice find, shows how little the holy spirit is working at bethel (HS must of gone on holidays) lol
BTW: τιμη' ( ti·me′) is honour in modern Greek.

not that i'm thinking about it, even for a brief nano-second, but something i have thought about is this, is there any way you could go back and not have people look at you with the stink eye?
after admitting your true feelings, how in the world could people ever look at you the same?
if you were in the situation of welcoming someone back, would you be able to look past the errors?
NEVER!!!
Even if God came down and told me that it really is his religion!
I would say to him: "If that's your religion then I want nothing to do with you, you're a nut job!"

i took my wife to this movie and pried her a bit on the way home to make her think about how sometimes the people we trust are our enemies.. the disney movie, tangled, is their spin on the repunzel story.
i'll try not to spoil their movie and still make the point of why this is a great movie to take a jw to, the older and closer to adulthood the better.
you total adults with jw adult loved ones should drag them to it.. the villain takes repunzel away from her life (as a baby) and keeps her in "the tower" for her own evil purposes.
OTWO
Now I want to see the movie :)

***w092/15pp.24-26pars.3-7they"keepfollowingthelamb"***.
3 jesus has appointed the faithful and discreet slave "over his domestics," that is, the individual members of the slave class, "to give them their food at the proper time.
" he has also appointed the slave "over all his belongings.
Revelation 4:4 describes these resurrected ones as seated upon thrones with golden crowns upon their heads. The glory of royalty awaits anointed Christians. But there is more.
What? A set of steak knives?

if you carry or have a handgun at home for protection how do you keep it loaded?
light fast loads?
heavy slow penetrating loads?.
If you don't like guns feel free to make snide comments and look down your nose.
I don't own a gun and don't look down on gun owners. Sooner7nc do you live in a dangerous area?
Have you ever needed to pull it out to protect yourself?
According to this web-site I personally would want to own a gun if I lived in South Africa! Scary amount of people murdered with firearms.

in greek, meaning to 'transform.'.
i remember giving a talk as a ministerial servant which included this analogy.
it was supposed to be an illustration of how one changes from the filth of the world to the beauty of being a christian.
Thanks for sharing jambon1. Sounds all to familiar to most of us.
I was often suicidal. I was more often than not depressed. I was dejected. I had been let down. I had let myself down by being sucked into this racket of a religion.
Toward the end of my time as a JW, I would have happily driven my car into a tree.
Sounds like me when I was a JW
"Jehovah's people are the happiest on earth" ... what a bunch of BS!!!
Glad you broke free and are finally enjoying life.
