  i was coming out of sams club and i bumped into an elderly lady, probably late 70s early 80s.

  (i wasnt about to ask a lady what her age is.

  ) one of the workers was pushing a cart full of rib-eye steaks.

  August Study WT "Prepare Now to be a Good Little Drone in the New Order"

  i thought paradise was supposed to be a delight?

  not according to the august study wt, on page 20 paragraphs 4-12 it outlines how much paradise will be exactly like being in the org today.

  still following rules, waiting on jehovah and obeying those taking the lead.

  Sounds like they are talking to the disgruntled brothers that are not part of the "new" building program - the one that replaced the RBC.

  I have heard that some of those brothers are pretty P.O.d at being left out.

  But what if we were directed to perform a particular aspect of the work that did not appeal to us? Would we submit to that direction by doing our best to carry out and even enjoy our assignment?..........................
  If we cooperate with those taking the lead today, perhaps finding contentment and joy in new assignments of service, we are likely to have the same attitude in the new world......................

  The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s

  having just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.

  and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.

  many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

  The title of this thread mentions most elders being in their 60s and 70s now. So what happens when they hit the "80 and you have to quit being an elder" rule?

  After the way Jackson used the scripture in acts that states "appoint for yourselves SEVEN reputable men" in the RC hearing, I think the plan is to keep it at 7.
  After all all if there is one thing the organization is good at, it's using numbers as magic

  Yes. Even though they speak out against it - they are the biggest numerologists of all.

  Is there any non white non American candidate?

  That will be who they pick maybe?

  Arent Latin countries growing the fastest? Any Latin GB helpers?

  Or maybe someone from an African country? That would be a big score for the JWs in their "we are soooo united" spiel.

  I love what half banana said about splinters above.

  Perhaps instead of death by a thousand cuts the Org will die the death of a thousand splinters?

  The elderly sisters are at it again.

  by John Aquila in

  2. experiences

  awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

  and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

  i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

  Yes I see that about you. I see the fine results you get with a light touch and being able to walk amongst the English so to speak!

  Thats an old Amish phrase btw in case you are wondering what the heck?
