i drove by a large public library today and saw not one but two literature carts (one on each side of the entrance) no more than 5-8 feet from the door.

i would have a valid complaint if i called the city right?

so is it a must and an absolute requirement to be a ministerial servant in the org?.

Did anyone ever rent a home or apartment from a "brother"?
by keyser soze in
1. jw
2. experiences
what was the experience like?

i lived with my brother and then sister-in-law in an apartment building owned by a brother and his wife.. besides the fact that they would constantly enter the place while we were out, without any kind of advance notification, they would procrastinate whenever there was maintenance work that needed to be done.

sometimes it would take months before they would get to it.

2. bible
if one reads genesis from the first chapter through the end with an open mind, it is clear that not only is it not true, but that god is potrayed as a cruel, petty, childish micromanaging tyrant.

if one continues reading the ot this is just further solidified.

how do jws not see the obvious?

at the meetings i've noticed over the past 2 years or so brothers asking for 'special blessings' for the governing body.

Elder and CO just dropped by....

i haven't been to a meeting in over a year, and as you know as soon as you stop attending meetings/fieldservice the "conditional" love becomes more apperant.

the coordinating elder starts off by saying how much he loves and misses me, etc.

i ask him, when was the last time you called or texted me?
