  Elder Using Innuendos at Every Single Opportunity

  by Tempest in a Teacup in

  there's this elder in my hall.

  in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.

  he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.

  Sounds like he has all the makings of a CO, he's trying to put himself on the same pedestal.

  hey guys,.

  so, it seems the hall i used to attend before my latest one got to hearing that i "disappeared".

  so today, i went to the post office to pick up a package.... i decided to try to face reality and open it... what i found were multiple letters and wrapped gifts.

  All but one person would have been prompted to contribute to this.

  They are against giving Birthday presents because it gives too much attention to the one person so I wonder what is different about this package?

  Memorial Date this year, why so far out ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have debated for many a long year on jwn about the "proper" date for the passover/memorial and my conclusion is that jw's get it all wrong for a number of reasons, but as the gospels are contradictory, nobody can say for sure.. most years they are close to the time by a day or so, signalled by the full moon occurring about then.. i believe this year they have chosen saturday april 11th.. this is a full week, near enough, away from the full moon.. what has gone on with their calculation ?.

  Since the only instruction in the bible is to do this 'often', any date would not be wrong but doing it once a year is not often.

  There is one thing that is a certainty about that talk, the brother did not have a higher education.

  Hi Nathanael and welcome. You'll get a lot of advice here but it is unlikely to be from JWs, posters here are mostly ex JWs.

  Sorry to say but I don't think your leaders would like you doing this project at all. Even though you have the best of intentions and think that other JWs would enjoy this greatly. Unfortunately your leaders want you to live in a very restricted and confined manner. You are to be no part of this world JWs are not allowed to live and behave like normal people and operate very much like a cult and It would be interesting to see that replicated on Minecraft.

  Go and ask your Elders or write to the society. You'll probably need to write rather than email or telephone as they don't seem to be capable of dealing with simple questions in a straight forward manner. Besides they will want your name and address and the congregation you attend as they may get your Elders involved to come and lecture you and possibly reprove you if you have started the project. They might not even want you to be involved in Minecraft at all so be very careful if you want to continue with this activity.

  "change is a good thing but hard to accept"

  I wonder why they are having so much trouble selling this new building arrangement? There must be a lot of unhappy brothers.
