i learned from loyd evans video that because of his higher education (harvard graduate).
and talented carrier in wall street journal,harry peloyan was very quick to be invited to world hq.. according to his life story (w may 1 ,2006) , he was invited to whq in 1957.. i wonder when was he baptized?.
is it true that people who have higher education be used by the org more quickly than people who don’t?.
I was being passed by a few times when I so wanted to be in bethel. But no sooner did they learn I was skilled in 7 different languages (now 13, all self taught) boom I was sent a special request through a branch representative with the form.
And people say Hindsight is a good thing.I would prefer Foresight.
Should have woken up then.

well, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.
during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.
i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.
They have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
I regret having binned all those precious publications.
Peace
having been raised in the troof i have no idea how to grieve.
it seems to never leave.
time helps but it is so horrible for so long..
Sorry for you my friend. It is never too late to see the light My friend.Think about all those still in ,manipulated, naively belieivng the TRUTH AIR BUBBLE and wasting away their lives for nothing. At least you are out.Now "make things happen for you " which will have more meaning in your life, give you joy and satisfaction of doing so with the way you want your life to pan out from now on.
The best thing you can do positively is move forward, dont look back.
Most importantly we all are here for you to help you .Dont feel you are on your own. Share things as you see fit and we will be here to help you coz we are all in the same boat.
Peace.
update on this:.
just been to the police station with my friends where we were asked individually to identify aknife.
it looks identical to the one we saw.
UPDATE AGAIN
There has been an arrest in the case of the bodies found . No details yet disclosed just the arrest. Wait n see what happens.
Peace.
so once pimo how do you deal with going to the meetings, ministry, social getotgethers, conventions assemblies?.
for one you know it is all off key,.
two your 2 hours or more so just wasted (not counting the time getting ready,travelling etc).
With PIMO AND POMI, I can understand them not wanting to be there but being there for personal reasons. What about those who are PIMI who go to the hall and then wait around in the toilets and other areas just chatting. I have seen elders, their wives and others doing it, often elders preparing their parts for the night during the meeting. What is the point of that when you are missing out on all the "spiritual food"?
All is futile

Read it to the end to enjoy.
A Wife's Poem
He did not like the curry
And he did not like my cake
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make
I did not make the coffee right
He did not like the stew
I did not mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue
Isnt there anything I could do
To match his mother's shoe?
Then I smiled as I saw the light
One thing I could definitely do
I turned around and slapped him tight
Like his mother used to do.

i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.
I do have some digital copies of divine purpose, plan of the ages, finished mystery, aid to bible ,proclaimers book. and a few others.I bought these copies for $5 each which is not a lot compared to what books are sold for nowadays.
I needed these for some projects I was doing.

So my suggestion to anyone who has the full comprehensive library, please save it or make a scanned copy of it all for future references. I would have kept em all but binned all of it ages ago.Believe me it was a right comprehensive fullblown library with lots of study material which no longer is in print today. i regret having done that today ie binning them.

An elder noticed a brother asleep at the kingdom hall. So the elder picked up his bible, and then tapped on the brother's shoulder. The brother opened his eyes, and the elder showed him Mark 13:35 ("Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is"). The brother calmly took the bible and flipped to 1 Thessalonians 4:11. He handed the bible back to the brother and went back to sleep.
-"Make it your aim to live quietly and to mind your own business .

I found a Leaflet in my newspaper this morning which read, 'ARE YOU AN ALCOHOLIC? CALL NOW. WE CAN HELP!!!'
My wife insisted I make a call
I Called up. It Was A Liquor Shop Offer : 'Buy 3 & Get 1 Free'...
My eyes were filled with tears of joy.
