What I caught was how they were baffled by having to be in "the world". Then any and all help came from friends offering money, food, apartments, jobs. Can't anyone see how they people are used up and then discarded?

Are the younger generation taking on roles in the Cong?
by purrpurr ini notice that several of the congs i've been to seem to have a majority of the male roles performed by older men.
very few young men are wanting to be ms or elders etc.
it also seems like very few young people are being pioneers either.. would you agree with this?

I think there are a lot of PIMI who are almost PIMO as they look at some of the "odd" things like skirts only, beards, no schooling, no overtime. Add in the elders who will always have more experience looking down on whippersnappers and things are stagnant.
Add in the CO bragging about all the things and travels he has done, a lot of people can see he hasn't ever paid his own way and resent it.

goads?
by road to nowhere inthe part this in the midweek meeting had a lot of questions about what a goad is.
probably 10 of 15 minutes spent on it.
and they said it was a stick with a metal point, which i doubt what with metal being costly, and a sharpened stick would do as well.. maybe next week we can learn about whips as in "we will keep whipping you until morale improves".

I know a few sisters who are bigger and tougher than most brothers, maybe they should have been invited.

"The Branch did not approve of us to get a video security system"
by James Jack inthis was the reply i was given by our coordinator at our recent kingdom hall security meeting.. he explained that they aren't allowed to buy any appliances or do any changes to the kingdom hall without branch approval.
"we put in our letter that a video security system could be purchased for around $600 locally and an app could be downloaded for the attendants to monitor the cameras what's going onoutside.
" they said;" such a system would not be needed in our area of the country, if standard protocols of security are followed as outline by the branch.

Lots of halls have security cameras. The objection is probably that it is not an apporved system; meaning it has to be bought from an approved supplier and installed by him, for several thousand $$$ (with kickback).

Seven Generations
by Ultimate Axiom inby chance i came across a watchtower of june 1, 2015, and it has an article in it, “a legacy that has lasted seven generations”.
it’s written by a guy called kevin williams and it starts with this ancestor thomas williams (1815-1891) and continues his story down to the present through his family.
but hold on a minute, how can this guy’s twelve relatives span seven generations?

A few years back or maybe more there was a WT or talk, I don't remember exactly; but they said do not get puffed up by having old family ties in the troof. Since I don't study anymore I can't remember the scripture about geneologies but they used it.
I am 4th generation of PIMO.
