  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.

  hi,.

  as far as i can understand is that male-female friendship is a no go for jws.

  but how do things work if you want to date someone of the other sex if you can’t have close friendship with?.

  Rat

  With out assemblies, construction, cleaning, or even gatherings it is improbable.

  Assuming you want to stay in become a public speaker do you are front and center. Even zoom is guarded so you cannot visit other congregations.

  Beware of dating sites, or even matchmakers.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  SETTING LIMITS ON HOW TO LOVE by the the Guardians of Our Doctrines (G. O. D)

  by Longlivetherenegades in

  2. bible

  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.
