  Crackdown on "sisters" volunteering at DCs

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts has sent a letter to all convention overseers expressing their increasing concern at sisters "directing brothers" at district conventions.. with immediate effect (ie for dc 2008), sisters are no longer to be used as volunteers in parking and security / watchman departments.

  any sisters volunteering in other departments (eg toilet cleaning) must be subordinate & follow the direction of appointed brothers.

  this move will put a huge burden on the dcs in my area - nearly half the volunteers for parking are sisters and there aren't enough volunteers as it is.

  Quite right too . . .

  This is great news - it'll just create rifts and hopefully usher people out (as long as the usher isn't a woman)

  What are your Guilty Pleasures of a geeky/nerdy variety?

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't mean the ones we know about already - things people wouldn't think you did or enjoyed to look at you.. i love watching ray mears extreme survival and learning about how to survive and find food and shelter in extreme climates even though there is a strong possibility that i shall never try and escape naked from a japanese prisoner of war camp, or crash without a flagon of water into the sahara, or come stuck in my ship in a freezing ice plateau in deepest antartica.

  .

  what's your guilty geeky pleasure?.

  LOL feel free to live it through my experience . . .

  I have the same problem with the US - can't see me ever getting there.

  And I've got an invitation from Sweetpea who's moving out to LA too, but I'm afraid it's a bit of a dream at the mo!

  Yes Me!

  But It's a fair while back - 1987 (yikes didn't realise it was that far back!)

  I holidayed further south in then Yugoslavia down in now independent Montenegro.

  But I stayed overnight on a sight seeing trip in Dubrovnik. It's great.

  However this was pre civil war.

  I'd love to go back - my two trips to Yugaslavia have great memories.

  Will There Be a New Category of Bad Songs Soon?

  by WTWizard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have already seen one thread on the april kool-aid, and it is not pretty.

  they are now starting to crack down on "valueless things", including excess (that is, what is not inherent in the misery or necessary for life itself) fun, sleep, or any sex or money.

  they put that in the same category with apostate material and independent bible study (which, interestingly, has helped quite a few people).

  Included are such classics as Listen To the Music by the Doobie Brothers, All Night Long by Lionel Richie, Hot Fun in the Summertime by Sly and the Family Stone, Boogie Fever by the Sylvers, Good Times by Chic, Ladies Night and Celebration by Kool and the Gang, and Old Time Rock 'n Roll by Bob Seger

  For once I'm with the WT

  Those ARE terrible songs . . .

  and petrified... i just recently became a pioneer and always had nagging questions in the back of my mind.

  so, i decided that when i have get a study i would research all the questions as i go along so as to prove everything in the truth... i got 4 studies in about 2 months.

  all was fine, until i reached i think chapter 6 in the bible teach book about the resurrection.

  We (SweetPea and I are married - to each other that is) were disfellowshipped for industrial strength heresy and failure to recant our wicked position.

  Industrial Strength Heresy - didn't we dring a couple of bottles of that?

  How's it going mate!?
