Did you ever run into brothers who didn't like "straightforward" talks?

by toto555 in

so you brother who use to give talks (especially public talks) did you ever run into those brothers that always wanted you to speak "diplomatically" and "show love" all the time even though when you gave a talk and discussed certain points in a honest and straightforward way there was nothing wrong with what you did?

some people just don't like to hear the truth and even want you to "water things down" so that you "tickle" people's ears.

did you ever run into that?.

Anyone heard a new elder give his first full talk? It sounds all broken gated with words he was not comfortable with I.e not of his normal culture? This is because the wts requires those first talks to be read ' word for word' from a prepared sheet; no going past the 'party line'. Being one of the milder forms of power trip the wts indulges in.

What? No. At assemblies and conventions there are manuscript talks. At the KH, very very few are manuscript. even stuff like the special talks are outlines. That stuff all gets posted here anyway

Marriage only possible as an M.S. as a JW???

by ADJUSTMENTS in

it seemed to me for a male jw to begin the steps of dating and eventually getting married you at least had to be an m.s.

to get anywhere with a sister at least a decent sister.

i'm wondering if others felt this way?

Barrold Bonds

i see that all the time, justvisiting. male or female getting baptized just so they can date/marry someone that they've already been seeing for quite some time. those typically don't work out from what i see.

sisters vastly outnumber brothers so they do have a harder time 'marrying only in the lord'

Barrold Bonds

not necessarily. the 'logic' is that a chick would want to date and marry a spiritually strong JW. Typically, if a male JW is in his mid 20's and not at least a MS, he is not spiritually strong, at least according to the standards of the WTS

Guns

by Brother Mike in

does anyone know why people say as jws you can't have guns.

i've asked people at the hall and they say jws aren't supposed to have guns.

i asked them why, and they all say just because we're not supposed to.

Barrold Bonds

I'm not sure sure who told you that but where I live tons of JW's have guns.

if you don't believe global warming is a real thing then you are clearly not grounded in reality. This is right up there with people who think the moon landing was faked, JFK is alive and well, THE JEWS did 9/11, and Obama is a muslim born in Kenya

Can you also enlighten us as to chemtrails and gangstalking?
