  And hopefully it'll hit Netflix eventually, then witnesses can watch it in the privacy of their own home without worrying about someone seeing them go into the theater to watch it.

  I'm hoping we lose some soon. Out of the 5 elders, 3 are 60+, and the other two are pushing 60. One they rarely use because he is too old and his talks are terrible as well as his reading.

  That is sad, and only a few weeks ago at the meeting they were suggesting how to help depressed ones.....invite them to work in service with you, have them over for a meal, include them in family worship......umm how about getting some real help? That was never mentioned.

  This is just crazy "get her coin where it needs to go!"

  How could anyone think this is ok? Her coin does not "need" to go there, but the terminology they use is just crazy.

  I think it's great. If it helps a few leave the religion or helps a few decide not to join, then its a success in my book!

  Circuit visit elders meeting

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  first some context to this post.

  historically the elders meeting with the circuit overseer has had the following format : outline for meeting including ministerial servants then, after they have been dismissed, discussion of local issues.

  the last visit there was an additional outline for the elders only, the notorious "gender blurring" discussion.. you might wonder what is being discussed this time round, so here you are:.

  I always wondered what was discussed at these meetings. The elders locally always seemed scared of the c.o. and dreaded when he visited. But that probably depends on the c.o. also.

  judged worthless was one i thought of today.

  .

  because anyone that isn't giving 100% all the time is judged by other witnesses as worthless..

  this evening at the clam the job video was played and then the stupid peer pressure video.

  this was not so odd.

  however on the last elijah section pictures from the imitate their faith book was place on screen to imagine the scenes.

  It wouldn't surprise me if they started that either. The peer pressure video was lame, now kids in school don't have to explain their beliefs (probably cause they can't) they just need to say NO to peer pressure.

  but they don't forgive because they still shun people.

  who they feel are not worthy of forgivenes.

  Even after a person is reinstated, some still choose to not associate with them or give them minumum love. Funny how everyone likes to talk about how forgiving they are until something personally happens to them, then its a whole other story.

  boy who was seriously injured in a collision at gamlingay in cambridgeshire last thursday has died.. nine-year-old archie stevens, of western way, sandy, bedfordshire, died in hospital early on saturday afternoon.. the collision at about 10am in drove road, which involved two cars, also resulted in the death of his grandfather, 68-year-old martin harker, of green acres, sandy, who died at the scene.http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/update/2016-02-22/nine-year-old-boy-dies-after-cambridgeshire-crash/.

  the boy and his grandfather were jehovahs witnesses and they were on field service when a car drove into them.

  the lad, who is the son of an elder who moved to a cambridge congregation to serve where the need is greater, was on life support before the sad decision was made to turn it off.
