Undoubtedly he will have conveniently forgotten the conversation and deny he ever said that. There are many people who, when they reach an age where they realize the dreams and goals they set as a young adult are now unachievable, love to drag others down with them. Misery loves company. I am certain a similar mindset comes into play when elders and other witnesses admonish younger ones not to pursue education in order to secure a good job and comfortable life. Sure they toe the line and regurgitate the societies rhetoric on pursuing higher education, and perhaps some of them are sincere and believe they have your best interests at heart. Many, however, see their failure in your success. Even if they appear successful themselves, they probably would've gone much further had they put more effort in, instead of devoting at least a portion of their time to the organization. Good on you for following your gut.

"This system will probably be over in about 5 years"
by john.prestor ini don't think i shared this story yet, it's strange and although i did a little detective work trying to figure out who said what and when i never found out much, big surprise, jehovah's witnesses love their secrets as we all know... but i thought other posters might find this interesting both in and of itself, because of what an elder told me one sunday back in 2011, and because of what it could imply as to high-ranking jehovah's witnesses prophesying the date of armageddon.
specific dates went out the window in 1975, although governing body helper ken flodin hinted at 2040 in a talk uploaded to jw.org a couple years back, and the governing body hinted at 2034 in a watchtower back in the 90s.
but it might be, just might, that more specific date-setting still goes on behind closed doors in certain circuits.... so after i went to "meetings" and talked to witnesses for a couple years at a rural congregation in the eastern united states an elder pulled me aside one service into the vestibule at the hall, in other words, into a private area where no one would overhear us.

Dear penthouse, it was a morning like any other. I was preparing to go out in the door to door ministry, as jehovahs witnesses do, when my phone suddenly rang. It was Asian sister, calling to see if she could join me in the ministry. Asian sister... I had secretly admired her, from afar, anxious from the thoughts that would penetrate my mind and seduce my body, leading me to do naughty things with my pillow. Now she was calling. Little did I know my wildest fantasies were about to be eclipsed...

For me, it's the eyes. Always the eyes.
Followed by her hair and the rest of her facial features, lips, nose, etc. Then body.
But a bad attitude, or lack of intelligence ruins it all.
Btw, love Salma Hayek and Gwen Stephani. Beautiful eyes, very intelligent and talented.

2-3 bro's a day? In field service? I bet the meeting for field service must of been standing room only. Record number of publishers in your congregation, no doubt.
All those brothers and no one ratted themselves or you out? 😂 Gtfoh....

Should calling someone 'Nazi' be made illegal?
by LoveUniHateExams ina rabble-rouser called james goddard and a crowd of pro-brexit people called anna soubry 'nazi' recently.. the same crowd also called owen jones a few names.. i don't know these people but they seem to be unsavory people - they were certainly not behaving themselves.. the met police are looking into the matter, to see if the crowd did anything illegal.
a journalist asked the police officer if calling someone 'nazi' is illegal.
the officer said 'that's what we're looking into'.. first, this crowd behaved badly, no question.. what i find fascinating, though, is the speed of response from authorities.. calling people fascist or nazi has been going on for decades.

So true, Vidiot. When words are cheaply thrown around, they lose their value. Used to be, when someone was called a Nazi, there was proof and they were ostracized, and rightly so. Now the term is thrown about anytime someone viciously disagrees with anothers ideals. It doesn't mean much. Which is sad, because a whole generation of people will grow up being innocuous to that word. If the movement were to ever gain steam again, they might go on ignored until it was too late. And history repeats itself.

Not sure what the laws are in Britain, but here in the U.S. freedom of speech says you can say whatever you like, without fear of reprisal from the government, as any free society should be.(within reason..you cant falsly yell "fire!" In a crowded room, for example) So a person should be able to say whatever they wish. Now that doesn't mean they are free from all reprisal, such as a lawsuit for slander, or a swift punch to the nose.
Name calling is the hallmark of someone who's argument has lost all reason. Basically, if you resort to name calling, you're a punk ass bitch 😉. That said, people need to grow a thicker skin. Sticks and stones...
