  "Does he have a reputation for being opinionated and dogmatic? Is he known as one who is harsh in judgment? Does he view his own opinion on matters as the final word?"

  Yes this means more like - you are not going to restate stupid things like - "it didnt rain before the flood" or "the earth is in the perfect position and if it moves 6 inches we will fry or freeze" or that Cobras will eat straw, and mosquitoes will just drink lemonade in paradise".

  It's really code for - does a speaker try to use reality and good judgement when giving talks, which is bad, or does he just read the outline like a good cultist should.

  ... while more than 7 BILLION people are murdered at Armageddon with no mercy shown to them by a God of LOVE, even though the only "wrong" that they have done is not believing in an unconvincing message. Makes sense!

  Also - where does god plan to put the estimated 100 billion people who have died? Mars and Venus?

  Did your congregation rehearse service meeting parts?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking back to some parts i conducted.

  when other publishers were involved in the part, its success often depended on how well rehearsed the participants were.

  timing, proper interplay of dialogue, dramatic impact, etc.. as the one giving the part or as one drafted to do a demo, did your elders require rehearsals?.

  "You Can Do Just Enough Ministry To Dislike It"

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  when you were "in" did you ever actually enjoy the ministry?

  and i made no secret about it.

  instead i would joke about me feather knocking, and made sure i had my bible in hand so as they come to the door they know what im about so they can shut me down before i even start.. i always wondered how or why there were people who enjoyed it.

  Never - I tried really hard - even pioneering - I enjoyed being with people in the car groups - and frequent coffee and bathroom breaks - and driving in the least efficient way from call to call. But the answer is no.

  You answered it yourself - if its part of nature its natural.

  As for a Moral Code? Who's? ISIS? The Nazi code? The Mormon Code?
  
  A moral code is a man made agreement between a group of people about what's socially acceptable.

  In the bible the Moral Code allowed for Slavery and Genocide.

  What you are comfortable with is your own personal code - not mine or others.

  Why does the human body always always causing such adverse reactions?
  This is a direct cause of the poison filled teaching of religion from the beginning. Demonizing the human form and the most natural of activities "sex".

  Guarantee you the 12 year old was under lots of pressure to get baptized because if his dad is an elder - he would be under pressure from the CO and others.
