this is something that has always bothered me!.
why do rank and file have to pay for co's do's expenses, car, health insurance, meals, etc, etc...?.
didn't the apostle paul say that all christians have to be self sufficient and work?, not depending on anyone else and cause a burden?.
I dunno. I know CO's who opted not to submit expenses. It's usually not a lot anyway. It was always around $50 or so. I also know some CO's who submitted expenses for everything. There are certain things they can't claim as an expense though.
I also know CO's who had a ton of dough saved up from before they went into the work and I know some who were not well off by any means.
read out at the service meeting this week.. ===================================.
january 21, 2013. to all congregations.
re: thirty-hour quota for auxiliary pioneering.
This is pretty old news.
do witnesses really want to go to the meetings?
or do they just go because they feel they must to get into the new world.
or is it just peer pressure or pressure of elders?
wha happened: You're so correct. I mean, the WT and elders literally teach that if you're depressed, feeling down, or having some sort of problem it's because there's a problem WITH YOU. You are either missing meetings, not going out in service, not reading the Bible, OR PRACTICING SECRET SINNNNNNNNN.
Of course the cure to your problems is literally to go out in field service. No wonder witnesses turtle up when there's problems.
i googled it and i cannot find the answer to my question.
i have also looked at my phone to find the password feature to secure my phone.
help!.
RTFM
now that we are using ipads, and other mini devices at the meetings.
is there any letters from the society that restricts.
the use of internet to only elders?.
I think what you're asking, Blondie, is if you can have internet access apart from a wi-fi setup at a Kingdom Hall?
As mentioned yeah. Your smartphone does. You can use your phone as a wi-fi hotspot so you can connect an iPad to it. That link you posted earlier is just a crappy app that has a list of open wifi locations. Not incredibly useful these days.
Yes, if a Kingdom hall had an internet connection setup, the router could be programmed to only allow access to certain websites.
I am not aware of any policies from the branch in regards to internet access at kingdom halls. I know that assembly halls and convention facilities do.
with respect to the elimination or removal of "old" literature - are there any pdfs of any of these letters?.
i read somewhere that directives have been issued over the years which contributes to the reason that older publications cannot be found in the kingdom halls.
.
There's been direction to dump old stuff found in the literature counter. There's never been direction that I'm aware of to get rid of stuff in the library. It's usually the opposite. They're supposed to have old stuff in there too.
i have friends in very cool jobs.
my world interacts quite often with music stars, and i have interesting conversations.
for instance, i was talking with the members of animal kingdom, and asked the lead singer about the lyrics i picked up while listening them perform for the group a few minutes earlier... i felt stupid because i hadn't realized the name of the song, and only had caught a few lyrics... he wrote of mephistopheles.
did you make this thread just to plug your friend's shitty bands?
simultaneously breathing life into the two biggest sci-fi franchises?.

as he boldly goes where no director has gone before, may the force be with him!.
Actually Lucas is the one person who should stay away from them. The first Star Wars movie was absolutely horrible until his ex-wife stepped in and literally saved the movie. Empire Strikes Back is the best movie and its no coincidence it was the one he was least involved on.
JJ knows action and scifi. He'll do fine with it.
i was curious what is the youngest age any jw has been baptised.
i thought it was hypocritical for jws to say wait for marriage because its such a big deal but "why wait to get baptised".
i think my step sister was 11 years old.
i was barely 10. I know that there's been younger than that. I think in some stuff from yearbooks I've seen 8 year olds.
has anyone else recieved the letter from the gb about international conventions in 2014?
according to the letter the missionarys/order of full time servants desperately need to get to the conventions in their homeland.
so to accomplish this, jehovah needs 15 cents per publisher, per congregation for some months ( sorry i can't remember the exact length of time ).
Those definitely aren't JW missionaries. Way too young.
