Do COs have a cushy life?

by A question in

jw
friends

do cos (and dos) have a cushy life in comparison with other jws, or others in fulltime service?.

it could be said that they do, since they have an apartment provided for them, meals out, green handshakes, and invites to social gatherings.

it could also be said that they do not, since they may have to live in a different house every week, accept whatever food they're given, and they have a lot more meetings than the average jw.. .

It's not what I would call a cushy life. I have close friends in the Circuit Work. I have heard them describe some horror stories to me. Some have invested their personal resouces (cash) to serve in this capacity. Some come from wealth families, and some have worked at successful businesses before they entered this work. Some don't even put in any expenses forward with congregations that are having financial problems.

There are some CO's that are Jerks, and some really giving, kind nice fella's. I also admire their wives, at least I could say some of their wives.

When they leave that work, they really don't have much to retire on. In most of the congregations I have been in, we have put the CO family in basement appt's in KH's Not a pleasant place to live.

marriage without affection/sex/touching

by zeb in

yes thats my situation.

some where along the path of life the wt guilt trip was dumped on our marriage and we havent had sex for years.. anyone else?

the hearts and flowers and gifts and doing the cleaning, the house work and paying the daily accounts never being drunk on drugs playing the horses or screwing others yep its all there but nothing coming back due to the wt guilt trip.. they made so much of 'oral sex' and 'pornea' incorrectly quoted at that and ventured thereby into areas they were patently very ill equipped to comment on.

Quarterback

Wow, Flipper.

You had field service on Saturday morning, and a Sunday morning meeting to participate in, and that didn't giveyou enough time for sex.

I wish I had your sex life.

Quarterback

Well, the context of Mtt 26 states that he was presently, seated with all his 12 deciples, and was speaking directly to them. It became a directive to be observed until all of his anointed followers were to be with him in Heaven as noted in a preceding verse.

Mtt. 26:29 But I tell YOU, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine until that day when I drink it new with YOU in the kingdom of my Father

Eventually, this directive will end when the last anointed member dies, and is called to his position in heaven.

That is how I have been instructed to understand it, and somehow, it kindof makes sense to me.

Is the Memorial on Nisan 14 after sundown in Israel or whatever country it is held in?

by sinis in

i can't remember.

don't really care, just something that popped up in my head.

to all the people who are going, i feel sorry for you... ;) i have not set foot in a kh in years!!

Num 33.3

And they proceeded to pull away from Ram′e·ses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. Directly the day after the passover the sons of Israel went out with uplifted hand before the eyes of all the Egyptians

That's interesting, Leo. This is what the NWT is quoting for that verse. Did this get altered?

There On Memorial Night When One of the Governing Body Was Attending?

by Broken Promises in

.

just wondering if anyone ever actually saw any of the gb members partaking of the emblems?.

.

Quarterback

Well, I did see someone partake of the emblems, who became a GB member. He actually gave the Memorial talk, as well.

That number thing will always be off. We have so many people confused about that issue.

What would we do, if everyone showed up that we invited to the Memorial?

by Quarterback in

Quarterback

Sorry, hit the enter button too soon. Just attended our memorial meeting. We were really packed. There was all those family members that showed up just to please the family member that was regular. We did our bit to welcome them. Some Return Visits showed up, and some didn't. I got to wondering as we covered about 80 % of our territory with invites. What would we do if all 40,000 showed up?
