  Speculation: Female Ministerial Servants coming soon

  by Londo111 in

  ive no source for this, just personal speculation.. * there is a good case to be made that there were female deacons (ministerial servants) in the bible.. * there is a lack of qualified brothers for basic assignments such as microphones, accounts, literature.

  in some cases, elders have had to do double duty because of a lack of ministerial servants or qualified brothers.. * women outnumber men in the organization.. * there is supposedly a surprising change coming "down the pipe".. perhaps the only difference between male and female ministerial servants is that women will still not be allowed to teach..

  Here comes the new video. "Caleb's Mom gets announced at the Kingdom Hall".

  Followed by scenes of violent campaigns against kids that leave their toys loosely around the house.

  A new song, "listen and obey, the lady with the Bonnet"

  the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

  "at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

  i remember years ago when i was a little boy aroung 9 years old, our bookstudy conductor was in the hospital and at the last minute one of the elders asked my aunt to be the book study conductor.

  this was the first time i have seen this happen.

  my aunt did a very good job and the bookstudy acted as it was not something from outer space.

  Yes, I remember as a child an older pioneer sister conducing a cong bookstudy. The Overseer worked evenings and she filled in until some male member was baptised and qualified. Some of the older records at the Branch show sisers names for Account Servant, Literature/Mag servants.

  What's the most dumbest/petty thing you've heard of someone being "stumbled" over?

  - some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.

  i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.

  yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!

  the best thing to come from the regenal convention this summer, is to see women used as attendants at the end of the program.

  they were used in distributing the new publications to convention delegates..

  let's pretend that a suspicious presiding overseer k. eepclean, alerted by a misbehaving microwave oven to an apostate infliltration of his flock, hides secret recording devices in kingdom hall furniture, and transcribes the conversations... .

  since like most pos, mentally he's more than a few nickels short of a quarter, he needs help to figure out who said what.. so, please study this photo:.

  here are the conversations:.

  Now I know what Leonardo feels like.

  This is the conversations in the photo.

  a) Sorry, the Literature department is now closed. Go to JW.Org for your requests.

  b) No, I'm not scamming you. Look inside the magazine. See...the Awake is in there.

  c) So this is your unbelieving husband? Wha.....he's a believing JW who has been inactive for years. I guess their aint no study here.

  d) This Territory job is boring. Wish I worked in Literature.

  e) So, did you put in your August Pioneer application in yet? You know you can avoid it.

  f) WTF...this isn't the Mormon Church. Those lying weasels at those carts.

  g) Here you guys are, Hey, I need a ride again.

  h) Sorry, but this time we are putting our foot down. Get a higher education and buy yourself a car.

  i) So did you ever believe that birds could get so angry?

  j) I know that I'm your Window Washer in real life, but here when I tell you, you have do clean the toilets, you have to listen & obey.

  i've been lurking here for about 3 months and decided it was time to register and become active.

  i left the organization 17 years ago.

  like so many of you, i had endured less than christian behavior from the strong cliches that ran our congregation.

  This was the forst time that I saw this. I didn't know they had this for years now. I think that some sisters are doing some responsible work at Bethel.
