  Love the lights.

  Love the food, the chocolate, watching the Griswalds, the days off work, families geting togeather, sleeping in.

  But, don't celebrate it.

  confidential letter child abuse http://adf.ly/auxbu.

  to all bodies of elders.

  the congregation secretary should arrange for this letter to be retained in the congregation permanent file of policy letters.

  What concerns me is how many times a publisher overlooks the "Do Not Call" on the territory card. When they approach the door and find out that it seemed like a good call and placed literature there, they assume that it was a mistake.

  There should be a better arrangement to protect young people from this danger.

  If the GB reinstated the Book study, would it take?

  i have been noticing in recent threads that people have been observing that the zeal has been waning among r+f jws.

  i have observed that most zealous, die hards have gone to foreign lands, or foreign language congregations, leaving the others in the stagnant english congregations.

  when you think of it, if you cared at all about bringing people into the cult, you probably would be preaching where it is fertile, the foreign field.

  The Governing Body Have Stabbed Many Old Bethelites In The Back By Not Taking Care Of Them In Their Old Age

  by frankiespeakin in

  these guys are real company men when they have mass lay off of older bethelites tossing them to the curb and making the congregation they are assigned to carry some of the load, so that the watchtower corporation can cut costs of providing for these nolonger young people who have devoted theirs lives to the corporation.. they are heartless bastards aren't they?

  i wonder what kind of undercurrent this is causing at headquartes?.

  I often wondered who in their right mind would want to stay at Bethel. When I speak to a Bethelite, they also ask me what I do for a living. It's as if they regret being where they are and are searching for answers about how to leave. It's sad that feel that they are stuck in there. Here they are after spending years in this life, they can't leave financially. It's only when they are forced to leave that they go and pursue government assistance.

  It's a trap. Parents, don't let your children grow up to be Cowboys, and Bethelites.

  CO explaining at Circuit Assembly how to measure neighbourly love

  i attended the circuit assembly this weekend.

  it was boring as always (except for one positive thing that was said was that we should be gentle especially the elders).. there was one thing that left me absolutely speechless.

  the co was explaining how to measure neighbourly love: by the amount of time spent in fieldservice.. the next point he mentioned was that we should strictly adhere to the disfellowshipping arrangments and not find excuses to speak to df family members.. .

  I gave my donation for the Philipine Releif this morning at a local Bank. Funny how my wife and I felt confident in giving this way. We were turned off recently from hearing a Bethel speaker tell us to not tie down the the Society's hand's by making special requests for our donations. "Just give to the WorldWide work, and they will sort it out", they said.

  We beleive in giving to ither charities as well. My wife also campaigns for the Cancer Society.

  Yes, that's such a switch from today when we are bombarded with requests for giving to the WT international work, and locally. They don't even want us to put strings on our donations such as to apply the funds to the Phillipines Releif work. Just give to the Society and they will control our money.

  It all seems so suspicious, when they even want to control our monetary gifts like that. I want to help the Phillipines but I just can be bothered to give my contribution to the Society. I gave my money at a local Bank that specified their intentions.

  i'm visiting my brother and his family in virginia for thanksgiving.

  as i was looking out the kitchen window today, saturday, waiting for my sister-in-law to finish talking with my niece on the phone, i noticed an older couple in thick coats going to different houses in the cul-de-sac.

  as i was watching the older couple and thinking about what i would do if they rang the door where i was and if they were jws, the door rang.. at the door were two older african-american women.

  There's something to be said about getting yourself a good Hollywood Agent. He'll make sure that your acting gig will be respected.

  Well, aren't you guys a cheery lot. C'mon now. Don't you enjoy pizza party's?. I could do that over and over. What about watching the Super Bowl?

  The WT doesn't have the Monopoly on Ever Lasting life. They can't even give you any information about it. Just new scrolls opened, and 1,000 year rule etc.

  Open up your imagination, the are all those planets that we can explore. Lots of things to do. Somethings I can do over and over.
