Along with what Stilla and WAC said also he will be given more complex MS assignments such as the accounts or literature coordinator, definitely be a bookstudy assistant, and taken on numerous shepherding calls. If this person is a regular pioneer or his wife is and she is very charismatic and well liked then he's s shoe in for sure. Oh and also he can taste what the PO and CO had for lunch that day in form of the shit he's been eating out of their anus!

Military Service Objection: What was the motive of the Watchtower Society?
by james_woods ini have spent some time puzzling over this every so often.
of course, i have to admit i was affected more, as i was draft age in the vietnam era.
i barely escaped going to prison over this issue, and had numerous friends who were not so lucky.. on a fundamental viewpoint - what exactly is the "biblical" standpoint for absolute abstention from military service?

(Acts 10:1-8) 10
Now in Caes·a·re´a there was a certain man named Cornelius, an army officer of the Italian band, as it was called, 2 a devout man and one fearing God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3 Just about the ninth hour of the day he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say to him: "Cornelius!" 4 The man gazed at him and, becoming frightened, said: "What is it, Lord?" He said to him: "Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God. 5 So now send men to Jop´pa and summon a certain Simon who is surnamed Peter. 6 This man is being entertained by a certain Simon, a tanner, who has a house by the sea." 7 As soon as the angel that spoke to him had left, he called two of his house servants and a devout soldier from among those who were in constant attendance upon him, 8 and he related everything to them and dispatched them to Jop´pa.
Of course if you continue reading we learn that Cornelius was one of the first gentiles to accept the faith. Nowhere do you see Peter telling him that he needed to get a discharge from the army... in fact it was god himself who called him while he was a soldier. So why does the WTS make people leave the military before allowing them to get baptized or consider you disassociated if you join the military?

Computer Repair Fraud!!!
by What-A-Coincidence inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxqx4hgekgq.
bastards!.
what has been your experience with pc repair?
-

XBEHERE
PC hardware is one of the easiest things for a basic A+ Technician to diagnose and fix plus cost of parts but software and OS problems is where they can milk you. If you have a business and a LAN then the cost just doubled for an enginner to come to just look at it for you. Thats just how the business is, yes that last guy was trying to cheat that customer but like other posters said the other places were just charging their flat rates or incompetent. Kind of like a doctor, I pay a $15 co-payment to go see him for 5 minutes and get a prescription. God knows how much my companies health unsurance is billed for 5 minutes. Or a plumber.....I once paid $75 for a guy to come and remove my toilet off the wax ring to take out a toy my daughter flushed and it took him all of 30 min. After watching him I could have easily done it myself but I figured I have the money so why bother. Either pay or learn to do the work yourself...

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 12-17-06 WT Study (Sacred Gatherings)
by blondie in: the special assembly day, the two-day circuit assembly, and the three- or four-day district convention.
q9) how can we show our respect for sacred gatherings by our dress and behavior?.
- how can children show that they respect the sacred nature of our meetings?.

What Did YOU Do At A Typical Witness "Get-Together"?
by minimus indid you sing kingdumb songs, take turns reading the bible, play bible games or did you have "fun"
-

XBEHERE
Depends on the crowd at the particular gathering. If I am with other elders I spend my time trying to avoid them. If its with the few "friends" I have then we talk, drink, bash some of the elders, watch TV. Then there are the times when we get invited to "sister single pioneer in her 40's or 50's that moved to the cong. to help" and we spend time discussing how wonderful pioneering is and its so nice that she is here to help.. Then occasionally we get invited to "Sister elderlys" home and usually its ok, I feel bad for these lifers who gave up all for the org. so I am VERY nice to them and listen to every story the tell me.

I think the GOP will win again if the dems put in Hillary as the candidate. I am doubtful that a woman will be elected, not that I care either way but this country isnt that liberal yet. Personally I would like to see a minority or female Commander in Chief soon, we're overdue.

Why is it so many Men agree to take on the Position of an Elder?
by restrangled ini just wonder because with the stresses of earning a living, taking care of immediate family, and getting in little free time that is available, why would anyone want to take on this extra job at no charge, answer to more bosses, and be submited to endless critisizing behind your back for decisions.
it just seems crazy.. r..

It all kind of fell into my lap at age 25, far too young as was already mentioned. I was too brainwashed to say no. In all honesty I was doing fine as an MS and I wasnt even reaching out persay.... It was because I was pioneering at the time and the cong. had a need I guess. Now I want out so bad but I know it will knock down our social status in the cong and my wife cant bear to have that happen. So I stay for that reason. Pretty sad huh??
