Confidential Document Email Hijacked!

by Atlantis in

dear friends:.we are under attack by email hijacking and someone is using our email address to send out spam.

it has to be because of the confidential documents that were going out in the emails.

i will have to discontinue the emails and go back to posting the documents on jwn..this is an example of just how badly somone wants to keep these documents out of the public eye.

the dumbest thing a CO ever said

by nowwhat? in

"if it was'nt for the preaching work there would be millions more witnesses" - he was saying jehovah wants quality not quantity.. si i'm thinking, what's the difference as long as he has a people that live by bible standards and are moral.

maybe sharing their hope and faith with friends and relatives on a casual basis?

how backwards is that?.

Alanzo Hawkins. "If it weren't for the elders, all the kingdom halls would be brothels"

"If a man is trying to persuade his wife into oral or anal sex, he is showing his true colors of homosexuality" he would cite examples of wife-swapping among elders or entire congregations being disfellowshipped and say, "If you love truth, love THAT". He was a very harsh brother that forced his own opinion on the elders, and many things changed right back the moment he was assigned to a new circuit. He found out we were paying a landscaping company to keep up the lawn and he was livid and made them void the contract and buy new equiptment (which was all stolen many many times. Cost more to keep buying new stuff then just pay to have the lawn mowed, plus they did ten times better but he didn't care.

by El_Guapo in

hi guys,.

i was asked to give final prayer today after the field service meeting.

i asked for jah to bless and comfort the families of the newtown, ct massacre.

You are turning human. Next time the elders ask why you can't serve as a MS, mention how flabergasted you were that you were counciled for showing love for your fellow man.

Confidential Materials!

by Atlantis in

all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.

they will not be posted out here on the board.

if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.

why are so many complaining? if this is the way Atlantis chooses to share, so be it. If you wish to share in any other way, than do it.

After A Day In Field Service, Did You Get Euphoric Or A Spiritual High?

by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

i know this might sound silly but field service did provide a strange type of good feelings after i was done.

i called this the "halo-effect" because i felt so "righteous, obedient and good" for taking the weirdos or "the friends" in my station wagon.

vans and station wagon owners in the congregations often get used hard, pile up seven whacks and your off!

good one... how do you switch off the Italics button, after a copy and pace no less

Tater, go down to the next line and then look at the top of the text box and click the B or I until they are not highlighted, then the new text you type will look normal.
