so i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.
he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".
he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.
Why the sudden interest in you do you think?
Kind of what I am wondering. I think my wife's FS might be down a bit. that's all I can think of.

Just say "No. We are fine. We'll let you know if we need anything. Thanks."
I would but I think my wife would be appalled. I haven't told her about the text yet.

I am inactive (Have been for years) although I go with my wife to the meetings.
I suppose I could tell the elder no but I would assume that would fly like a lead balloon.
So, any idea what's in store for me?

I hope these people got paid.
You mean fame from a wonderful piece of music isn't enough?
You just don't understand art Blondie.
not sure if this has been commented on, but while reading a discussion, deuteronomy 18:22 was mentioned.
i looked it up, and was struck by its connection to a remark made by geoffrey jackson during his arc testimony.
the gist of the scripture is that if a prophet declares something is from god and it doesn't come true, he is speaking presumptuously, and should not be feared.
Semantics really....
While they may not say they are "prophets" , they do say that they are "gods channel" and the only organisation "chosen by God".
So no matter how they spin it, they claim to speak for god.
That is no different to a "Prophet"
True, if you can understand the English language.
However, the deliberately under-educated rank and file Jay Dub wont understand what the word "Semantics" means, much less that "gods Channel" and "Prophet" are synonymous..

5:9.. to do that, we need to prepare our mind and heart, to train ourselves now to do what is right.
we do not know what our spiritual warfare may involve in the future.
1. "Do I persevere in prayer?"
Before I left, I prayed to Jehovah to convince me that JW's have the truth and NOTHING happened!
Same here. Over and OVER. Still I can't get around the crap they serve up.
Either they are NOT the truth or I am just another goat waiting for judgement day.
Funny, I don't feel like a goat
wife read me the daily text this morning out of the blue this morning and a couple of sentences stuck out in my head.. all of jehovah’s promises are dynamic, not static, because he is constantly working toward their fulfillment.
(isa.
46:10; 55:11) once a person realizes this about jehovah’s word, what he reads in the bible can exert a powerful force in his life.. .
"of course not- we want to eat from clean dishes!
dishes that have been cleaned thoroughly inside and out.
" we have to be sure the things entering our minds are clean... rejecting exciting fun stuff that features sex.
I am with the original poster on this.
Downright creepy the way he was talking in a Mr. Rogers meets tel-evangelist fashion.

Do these two sentences make sense? Maybe I had too much single malt last night but it almost seems like someone was trying to use words the average witness doesn't understand to say in effect "Gods promises change all the time".
