  Memorial Question?

  by naazira in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the years, i've come to notice that some of the friends will not touch the plate with the bread or the cup of wine ,when the emblems are being passed around.

  i remember a row of 3 people told the brother to skip over them.

  every year i have noticed this behavior.

I thought one reason was the fear of spilling the wine, :-p

  What exactly is encouragement?

  by naazira in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when elders want to meet with an inactive person to encourage them, what does this really mean?

  encouragement is a term thrown around by the organisation.

  does this encouragement usually consist of prying into the inactive one's lifestyle?.

  If someone could look up the meaning in the jwspeak dictionary, that would be great! ;-)

  If your vocabulary consist of the words: new system, slave class, theocratic, privilege, just a little while longer, friends, organization or in harmony with..

  If you go out of your way to number paragraphs in books.

  For every worldly occurrence, you recall the time you read something about that in the Awake.

  Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

  this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

  2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

  I was preparing for the most important meetings of the year: memorial and convention. 

  
  

  I was looking to see which house I wanted after Armageddon- ya know it's never too early to prepare for the new system.

  I lost track of time while I was out in service before the meeting.

  Counting service time in a creative way

  by nevaagain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  couting time and, how to count time while doing as little service as possible is often a hot topic around witnesses.

  i even overheard pioneers discussing about it.

  they call it "creative time counting" (i translated that phrase from a different language so bear with me ;-).

  so it has been quite a while since i've last been on this site.

  the jist of my story is that about 5 years ago, i started a research journey that took me 2 1/2 years to complete.

  against the advice of this board, i decided to show my wife because i mistakenly thought she valued truth.

  Will the GB now accept Higher Learning???

  by 7Starz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reported in many news outlets today including the wall street journal: president obama is pushing for the first two years of a community college to be included in the normal education of the country's children.

  the education law currently has a free education from k-12 and obama now wants to include a 2 year community college degree for free (well the tax payers will pick up the tab).

  so basically k-12 and a 2 year college associates degree.. if this becomes law, will the gb change their view on higher education and say:.

  A 2 year tuitionless college would be viewed as Satan the devil luring in Jehovah's people. Dangling free items in front of our faces. I mean even Satan offered Jesus all of the kingdoms of this world. But Jesus was faithful to Jehovah God and he was blessed for denying Satan's appealing offer. This sounds like something they would say. Lol
