@Blondie

MAAAANN I really did look but maybe not back far enough. You always do a recap and I enjoy them. Guess I didn't look good enough. Can't wait to read your comments!

Basically today's Watchtower was an attempt at guilt tripping the entire Borg. Except for the most errogant self righteous haughty in the org. More money more service time. The usual.

Article Title: Making Whole Souled Sacrifices to Jehovah

Highlights:

Par 10: While circumstances vary, the amount of time that we devote to announcing the good news often reflects our appreciation for spiritual things.

Par 13: Financial contributions made to support the worldwide work can be likened to a sacrifice, whether we offer much or little.

Par 14: Likewise today, Jehovah deeply appreciates our contributions to the worldwide work.

I could offer my commentary on these quotes but will leave that to you guys!!

Has anybody gotten a copy of that super secret elder school book?

by Momma-Tossed-Me in

jw
friends

?.

@momma tossed me It's a new book. It replaces the old green Shepard book. It's very simplified and much vaguer then the last elder book. I think it was written in a such a way to allow as much leeway in application as possible. So the brothers can be as harsh as their hearts desire.

Has ANYONE married someone who is not a jw and been/is happy????

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

we were taught that this is detrimental and would only end in doom and gloom...is it true??.

are you happy or know someone who is??

do you regret it?.

Sheep2slaughter

There's a sister in our hall that married a guy she knew since middle school. She waited until she was 25 to marry but she is very happy. They of course gave a talk about marrying out the org and being unevenly yoked but she didn't care. She is a trooper and soldered on. They seem sincerely happy. Probably because he views her as his equal instead of subservient.

CRAZINESS!!! I'M BEING 'MARKED' FOR GOING TO COLLEGE!!!

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

ohmygosh!!!

one of my friends who is a ms told me today that the elders have 'marked' me because i'm a reg.pioneer and i've decided to go to college next semester???!

he said he can't tell me anymore but to be careful---what the hell does 'mark' mean?

Sheep2slaughter

@theoldhippie I haven't finished reading the thread yet so perhaps someone posted their experience in reply to this statement, " A MS would not know that a person is "marked" any more than the person himself would know it, so the starting point is wrong." I was not an MS or elder. But I had close friendships with 2 members of our service committee and other elders. One in particular is the circuit assembly overseer, substitute CO and pioneering over 30 years. He's actually a very good man and cool dude in SOME ways. Anyway because of that relationship, beers and horseshoes I was previed to ALOT of confidential info. He would treat me as an advisor. We would talk about who was setting a good example and who should be considered for appointment next CO visit. (I couldn't be appointed for another year because of a previous disfellowshipping.) I knew about a 2 brothers porn addictions and a MS that had fits of anger they were considering removing. Point is, her MS friend could easily have known. Don't be so confident in their confidentiality. Many tell their friends and especially wives ALOT.

Sheep2slaughter

2 examples for us to imitate (you know...imitate their faith...uh huh.... My brother- Always buys COs suits, golf, dinner, breakfast,lunch. Worked out well. He is now a regular on Circuit and Districts. Kiss ass supreme. Newly baptized pub initials A.D.- Every move and comment is kiss-assery. I can't even begin to explain. Doing stage within 1 month of baptism in an otherwise very strict hall.

March 2012 Aux Pioneering

by truthlover in

so far what is the response to the aux pioneering this year vs last year?.

in our cong - only 10 so far vs 52 last april.

Sheep2slaughter

There are like 30 some. Last year over 40 some. I don't really pay attention. I can tell you that even my wife(pretty hardcore jw) can see that the Borg is getting desperate to keep people pressured. She makes comments like, "why all the pressure to sign a form and have your name read from the platform? Just do you honest best and Jehovah is happy." Comments like that make me happy!!!
