how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.
my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.
he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.
Half the elders are in a position to not worry. The others are lazy
I never had overtime that wasnt for jobs that had to be done. A CO had a fit over it once, last time I ever gave a golden handshake.
There are experiences where someone got fired for going to assembly. Every one I had any insight on were poor employees to start with.
i have a real problem with this one.
jesus said follow his steps closely.
never read in new testament about people living in convents.
Truth b
Yes, but WT has held special regard for Lydia because "she was rich". It was in one of the study books
with the current discussion if someone in his twenties can be elder or not.
i'm interested in what a elder in jw land really do.
all speeches already come in video format from headquarters.

Except they are not older,neither in life experience nor necessarily age.
They are overLORDS with varying degrees of ability.
In theory the ancient older men took advantage of the wisdom of the crowd
Works? I see virtually every group engaging in charity, working for causes (even ones I disagree with) with one exception.

Lucky. I gave you a like for sarcasm followed by truth.
I have more smarts, compassion, empathy than most elders. Where I fail is judgementalism. We see that in committees and their inconsistent/inhumane rulings.
was a letter read to all congregations requesting parents with children volunteer together to perform maintenance labour at wt properties?
.
can anyone confirm?.
I spaced outxsnd missed the start. What I got was a family to maintain kingdom halls. Training provided if needed. I think the family part is to get enough bodies that are following isolation protocols. The last instructions were to not have people from different households being together.
I used to enjoy working with dad, and later my son. Better than DTD.
New pilot programs for returning to halls. I was hoping they failed. Meanwhile covid is running rampant according to the statements after meeting. No hospitalizations and takes from a few days to a few weeks to heal. Same bs, different source.
a balanced view of jesus’ role.
like those in christendom, the early bible students mistakenly allowed their love for jesus to overshadow their relationship with jehovah.
beginning in 1919, however, they came to see that jehovah and their relationship with him should be the focus of their worship.
Do you qualify for disaster aid?
i have another post here about how the wts is reeling from covid, as reflected in their abysmally catastrophic service report:.

here's another rupture showing.. in the latest "announcements and reminders" to elders, there is a paragraph with these sentences:.
When the elder arrangement came in I was told the end was so close the CO would not be around for the second year appointments. I was a study conductor then. Reminds me of that scripture about comparing themselves to themselves. I was never in the right crowd
That Timothy age is not stated in the bible. In one talk he is in his 30s, next talk ( to make a different point) he is still a fuzzy cheeked teenager. Just like there presumptions about his father.

Still the old boys club in the way. Back when I did want to reach out i was plainly told to give up. They had the 5 buddies and didn't want or need any more.
I can see the next one here, young, good looking, no interest in girls, good speaker.
i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.
that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!
maybe some of you will come to their senses!.
Journey from believing god has a name that identifies him apart from others to wondering. Then agnosticism. Then atheism; but wonder where "stuff" originated.
Works are supposed to be a sign. I see good things from churches, jews, muslims, athiests. Guess who falls off the list?
