can anyone recall the question from readers saying it was ok to help a df person in difficulty?.
least i think it was a qfr - it cited examples like helping someone change a tyre at the roadside, or giving a single df lady a lift home from the meeting in the evening, or somesuch..... any takers?.
besty,
There was a discussion item many years ago, went something like this;
If you were rowing across a lake in your dingy and you saw someone drowning,
Would you leave him to drown even if he was disfellowshiped.
There answer was then…………… NO YOU DON’T.

years ago, you could attend a meeting and hear a well researched talk or give an answer from the watchtower that had some "meat" on it.
i remember in the 70s when witnesses used to look forward to ruminating on what might be a "new point" or a veiled possible new understanding of a doctrinal view.. these days, the only thing you could learn from a meeting is that brother so-and-so got deleted or "is no longer a witness".. what a bore!.
Miniimus,
Yes I found that man has got a long way to go to reach perfection,
I found the leadership to be immature, judgmental, arrogant, bloated with their own ego lacking in all common sense, prepared to break rules themselves that they may have just brought in for the congregation.

(1 corinthians 4:6) .
.that in our case you may learn the [rule]: do not go beyond the things that are written,.
.. 45 jw rules/teaching that "go beyond the things that are written" in the bible.
oompa,
When you see it laid out as one document it is quite staggering,

a few months ago there were some fairly authoritative threads that the pioneer hours were being decreased.
that has not happened.
also, there was a thread that the co arrangement was going to be dramatically changed in the next year or two, and i got some private notes from some excellent sources attesting to that.
As far as I know this was a position that received payment for services?
Perhaps they are taking this amount of time because of working out if severance/redundancy pay has to be paid out, some of these C.O.’s have been there quite a few years.

yes three weeks ago my mum wanted to go through the watchtower with me she had just had at the hall, so i read through it.
basic points....don't worry tooo much about your health...don't be pre-occupied with it...don't promote health products to brothers....the "new system" will cure you so go preaching instead.
i told my mum that this was the most pointless study ever.
The apostle Paul on more than one occasion ran when it looked like he was going to stoned, he obviously did not think it prudent to stick around and keep preaching, he was certainly thinking of his health ( live to fight another day ).

trade description act,the trade descriptions act 1968 came into effect on 30 november 1968. it replaced and expanded the old merchandise marks laws dealing with mis-description of goods in general and its particular job is to ensure, as far as possible, that people tell the truth about goods, prices and services.. can elders be pursued under this act.. .

minimus' thread about research got me to thinking about a friend who recently accused me of researching just to purposely find something wrong so i could justify my actions (of becoming inactive).. how would you answer this?.
Always speak the truth,………………………but leave immediately afterwards.
