this year as with every previous year a letter was read on how we can honor jehovah by helping to clean the stadium where the district convention is held.. does the watchtower get a break on the rent if the dubs do a major cleaning of the stadium?
sounds like slave labour to me.. .
hoser.
Why don't they eliminate the cleaning arrangement? They eliminated the food arrangement. Just like the food arrangement in bringing our mini buckets of food, we could bring our mini mops, and brooms. Whatever mess we make, we clean it up.
How bout we eliminate the Attendants? We can attend to ourselves. Tell ourselves to be quiet.
aug wt q and a has now stated that any df'd person can sit with anyone, anywhere at a congregation meeting.. before, they had to sit at the back of the hall.

Wow,
Stamped as law in 1953.
A minor amendment in 1959.
That rule was abolished 60 years later.
At this speed, no wonder the Great Tribulation is taking too long.

Sitting in the back rule. is not in print anywhere, as far as I can recall. It's one of those rules that came from an Elders school that the Elders had to pencil into the Elder's manual. It came before my time as an Elder. An older Elder showed his book where he had written in his older book. He stated that it was information in the 70's. That book, he showed me, has been revised three times since then. The rule has lasted until now.
Sitting in the back row for DF'd ones has been a practice in our city for decades.
those who were baptized as jehovah's witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.
in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest..
"we reach out to them, and try to rekindle their spiritual interest"
I suppose this provides an explanation as to why some relatives can continue to meet with relatives that have faded. When they are associating with them, they are simply rekindling their spiritual interest.
This is showing discrimination, because relatives who are DF'd can't meet, enjoy family trips, socialize, with JW family members. There is no rekindling of their spirituality.
Unfair
so i was talking to a substitute co, he and his wife recently returned from "the school for christian couples" .
anyways this couple has delayed having children in hopes of entering the circuit work, and have been sub coing for a couple years.
they both have well paying, good jobs.
That is the problem with a higher education with the WT Soc. They will assign you to where they want you to go. They should all of a sudden develop some illness, and bow out.

i dropped off my wife the other day at the cuircit ass and driving out of the car park i was flagged down by an elder i know.
he was and still is one of the genuine ones, a real solid guy.
anyhoo, he tells me to come back as we are so close to the big a and he also tells me that a new bible is gonna be released.
There should be a Canadian language translation, A?
