  "Why would everyone be included this time...unless something special is about to happen?"

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, i am talking to a long time friend, you know, the non-judgmental type that doesn't really mind that i don't go to many meetings and am never out in service.

  he tells me that the annual meeting is coming up and that the whole congregation is invited...well, at least the active "approved" whole congregation.

  he speaks with an excitement that puzzles me, like he just got invited to the locker room of his favorite football team when they won the superbowl.

  How Did You View The Elders?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know some who truly believed they were "gifts in men".

  they needed their approval and wanted to be well spoken of by them.. i know some who can't stand elders and regard them as pests, always looking for some dirt on somebody.. i know some who liked maybe one or two but regarded the majority as unqualified.. how did you view the elders??

  ?.

  How Do You Know If You Are "Marked"?

  by Thoughtless in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yeah, this has been a question that has been on my mind for a while, but how do one know if he has been "marked" by the congregation?

  do they announce it?

  i have expressed doubt last year about the org, but i still have responsibilities within the kh.

  I am in border-line full fade and I am being shunned by all elders and a few others. I was never told about the WT$ shunning and df'ing policy prior to my babtism. Publishing cult.

  I went out to my car for the drama and our CO came out for air and saw me sitting there. We only made eye contact. I think the WT$ CO's are just company men. It's all a joke.

  I'm on the Stage Const. Crew - Here at the Arena right now!!!

  after lunch i will be the guy nail gunning the plywood letters to the top part of the stage.

  so when i get to the word truth, i am going to mutter "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit....etc" the whole time i'm nailing the letters, obviously very quietly to myself.

  ;-) that way when i am listening to the bs tomorrow, i can smile to myself knowing the letters have been properly christened!

  The Elders want to ask you loyalty questions or loaded questions about the oranization. If you mention something negative, then you might be invited to a JC. I told one of our Elders I have health problems and decided not to have anything more to with sheperding calls.

  DF/Shunning

  by Kool Jo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this will never happen....but if the wtbs were to discontinue the practice of shunning, do you think their would be a mass exodus of those currently in the borg.

  additionally, do you think some folks would still shun folks depiste it no longer being required by the borg?\.

  peace.

  The WT$ has a hate agenda it seems. The shunning will go on.

  Reports from JW's regarding the summer convention

  so, we're in the final countdown with the convention just over a month away.

  i've talked to a few folks that have already attended it on the east coast and west coast and keep hearing that its the most up-building program they've ever been to.

  seems the message is clear that we need to stop being so hard on ourselves and take time to appreciate the efforts we have put in and know that we are deeply loved.

  We have a three day DA in Canada on Friday. I was told by a family member to take notes because their are many good points and good information. It's all about the Truth this time. I have to sit through all this and be a good boy.
