  bank - thank you for maintaining your loan repayments for the past 3 years.

  It's kind of a Reverse Mortgage, but with a twist. Instead of you getting the monthly tax free income, you are paying that to the Soc.

  I'm intrigued that all in the GB arn't protesting this arrangement

  well, my sister-in-law and her husband, special pioneers for only a couple of years, just got their letter.. her comment was along the lines of, "they're having to do this because they forgave all those kingdom hall loans a few years ago and the brothers aren't donating anymore.".

  when my wife told me, i laughed so hard i farted.

  ;).

  People who live as a SP, Bethellite , and Branch office staff are living in a Fools Paradise. They are receiving some reward in full for the investment of their time, sanity, service, and perceived reward. Sooner or later they hit that Brick wall and come to reality. It's a big change for many. Many can become bitter, Sad, dissappointed, and scared.

  Is there a Ministerial Servant Qualification Change?

  by Simon Templar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it used to be that if an adult child (either a non-believer or disfellowshiped/disassociated) lived "under your roof" and lived by the "bible standards of the home", the father could be appointed either a ms or elder as the case may be.

  of course, if the adult child was a believer and a member of the congregation, they had to be exemplary.

  i overheard at the meeting yesterday, taking place in a side conversation held in the corner, that if this living condition exists, the father cannot be appointed because of the presence of the non-participating adult child in the home.

  If your wife or children were unbeleivers, you would of been spared this judgement. Even if your unbeleiving kids were Axe Murderers.

  a single sister in her 40s and her two single daughters were visiting my mom.

  i would say her daughters are in their early 20s.

  my mom got sleepy and we put her to bed but the three sisters stayed to finish their drinks..

  I really like Don Henley's advice

  I've been searching for the daughter of the Devil himself
  I've been searching for an Angel in white
  I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
  And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight
  
  Ooo, loneliness will blind you
  In between the wrong and the right
  Ooo, coming right behind you
  Swear I'm gonna find you
  One of these nights

  The storm has been downgraded to a Category 4. Doesn't seem to have affected the Pacific coast that much.

  I have an addiction to this website. I can't go to rehab to control it.

  I waste time when I'm in FS, and I am corrupting others to do it.

  I listen to , "Stairway to Heaven" backwards.

  I flirt

  That's it

  Special Pioneers let go

  Bethel workers laid off

  Construction halts, what's next? What does it all mean?

  Evidently there is some panic to warrant all these drastic measures. Is the Society in the red ink? Can they file for Bankruptcy. How does that fit into the end of days prophecy? Will the Society find someway to spin a scripture to enforce tithing?

  i have started walking every morning for twenty or thirty minutes.

  so yesterday i had to work and almost didn't go, but decided to get in a quick ten minute walk.

  i don't usually take my phone, but decided to take it, and i was so glad i did because a block from my house i came upon an older chinese man face down on the sidewalk and bleeding profusely from his mouth/face.
