CO Visit this week....

by MaybeSo in

so, we are meeting our new co this week... i wonder if he'll be as glory hungry as the last one and the one before him and the one... well you can get the idea.

too bad we didn't volunteer to feed him .

that makes me wonder...why do they receive so much glory and attention as if they were some type of celebrity?

The last CO was soooo boring. Somehow I ended up meeting up with him and other brothers-before field service and after the service meeting mind you- and all he did was to stare at his cup of coffee. So much for spiritual building conversations with the flock!

I tried to initiate conversation but I guess he was too good to talk to the rest of us. I ignored him after that and I enjoyed my coffee until we had to leave. Oh and by the way, by the looks of his gut I know coffee wasn't the only drink he enjoyed.

Too bad we didn't volunteer to feed him and spend our precious time getting to know him... oh wait, all the previous COs never even shook my hand so who cares lol

That makes me wonder...Why do they receive so much glory and attention as if they were some type of celebrity? Everyone goes nuts when these men come around every six months. And then all the pioneers feeling all high and mighty because they get to have a special meeting with him.

I can't stand the whole frenzy everyone gets into this time around...

So, have you ever met a CO that would just love to feed on this type of attention???

Would love a point by point analysis

i know there are some points that some of you guys are just loving!

if that's not too much trouble.

Service meeting topic: Masturbation

by perfect1 in

one of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.

i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).

looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

Hmmm...I'll be back in a few minutes ha ha

Interesting article on JWs repeatedly knocking on the same doors weekly

by cedars in

http://www.examiner.com/article/jehovah-witness-knocking-on-the-same-doors-every-week.

this article also briefly questions whether it is really safe in the modern world to engage in this form of proselytizing.. it's certainly interesting to hear an outsider's perspective on the repetitive nature of the preaching work, even though jws would argue that this is an isolated case.. .

jehovah witness knocking on the same doors every week .

That's how the return visits and studies get stolen right under your noses. Too many bros and sis visiting the same house and neighborhoods over and over
