  Blondie: I like your comment. Its true that elders meetings are a REAL EYEOPENER.

  If you have attended one, then you KNOW there is no love between them.

  i thought the kingdom ministry feb 2014 had a couple interesting things in it:.

  1. a short talk encouraging the jw sales force to publicize the jw.org website at every opportunity.. 2. do not put out bibles on your table displays keep them hidden underneath.

  i thought they were so p-p-p-p-proud of their new nwt??.

  Welcome to the board Kneehighmiah.

  Serving as an elder is a real eye opener. I often think that if elders meetings could be televised, as many parliaments now do, then so many more R&F

  would leave the "organisation".

  From my experience, there are always one or two genuine loving and caring elders, who believe they can make a difference, but sooner or later, they

  step down, completely disillusioned by what they have seen.

  It is very commendable that you wish to help everyone you meet.

  You'll find the support you need here on the board. Good luck.

  whilst searching for ideas of what to make with clover flowers i came across this quote:.

  information, folklore, recipes, and resources -- all about the delicious, nutritious clover plant.. .

  clover is one of the most famous of weeds, commonly sharing space with grass in lawns.. .

  Yes, we give it to our ladiers on MayDay. It is supposed to bring good things in the year ahead.

  OK, so this thread is just to emphasise the absurdity of JW tenets.

  Clover is viewed by many as having folkloric and religious symbolism,but it can also be viewed as a food!
  
  

  On the same lines as a recent topic about toasting, I wonder if Jehovahs Witnesses should really allow clover to grow in their lawns?

  By the way, if anyone does have some ideas for recipees including clover, I would like to hear them.

  I wish you all a very agreeable weekend. JLP
