  "some though say, 'but you need to be balanced.

  you need to work, pay bills, provide for your family and so forth.

  ' but think about a bicycle.

  So this morning the oh-so-typical Ministerial Training School graduate punk eldurr gave a talk about the evangelizing spirit.

  As I was listeneing to him drone on and on about "preach more" blah blah blah blah, "do more ministry" blah blah blah blah, "pioneer" blah blah blah blah, "move where the need is greater" blah blah blah blah, "simplify your lives" blah blah blah blah, I suddenly tuned in when he said,

  "Some though say, 'But you need to be balanced. You need to work, pay bills, provide for your family and so forth.' But think about a bicycle. You can't maintain balance on a bicycle unless you are pedaling hard and moving forward fast! If you slow down even a little, or try to turn you will lose your balance and fall down! So too you must DO MORE, PREACH HARDER, AND FASTER if you want to be balanced. If you don't, just like riding a bicycle, you WILL LOSE BALANCE AND FALL DOWN!"

  Damn. Here I thought that listening to the Bible's advice to "provide for ones own", "let him that does not work, not eat", was good advice. EVIDENTLY not according to the WT$.

  .

  we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.

  got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .

  New requirement to be Recommended

  by bruh2012 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  per co last night, he mentioned in his talk that in oder for a brother to be recommended as an elder or ministrial servant he must have a regular and meaningful family worship night.

  this will demostrate his willingness not to miss that important meeting and preside over his household.. so i thought, wow what a way to add to the "inspired" biblical list of qualifications.

  serving jehovah is sounding more and more and more organizational..

  A few years ago, when I actually shave a git about trying to "reach out" I asked what I had to work on to progress.

  The eldurr whom I asked replied, "You have to accept responsibility." So I asked him in what way was I NOT accepting responsibility, as I carried out EVERY assignment that I was given "as if to Jehovah." His reply was, "That means you are just doing what you have to! IF you want to ever be appointed you HAVE to give impromptu talks on the TM!"

  I asked, "How am I suposed to give those talks when there are two "fair haired boys" that the school overseer ALWAYS uses?" He said then, "Well you don't comment enough!" I asked, "So how EXACTLY am I supposed to comment IF I NEVER get called on by four out of six conductors?"

  He said, "You're just making feeble excuses. THAT'S why I will NEVER recommend you!"

  To sum up... HS has little if anything to do with appointments. Requirements are pulled out of their asses at the drop of a hat to suit their personal predjudices at the time. Actual written goals in the Bible will be twisted to suit those same personal predjudices.

  .....it was near impossible to tell a Sleepwalking Pioneer from an "ordinary" pioneer because they were both just as slow moving and bored in field sdrvice.

  I just heard (started) a rumor that this loving provision from the GB is going to be started up again. Of course as an added loving provision for the pious sneers there will be large bags of popcorn shipped to the congregations. One bag per part-time pious sneer, and two bags for the full-time pious sneers. They can carefully drop one popcorn kernal every sixty seconds while they are out banging on doors. That way it will be easier to identify which ones are moving, and which ones have fallen asleep.

  Who are these others that they are speaking of?

  They're the same mysterious "others" who are always going to be stumbled out of "da troof" if you go to a nightclub and enjoy a cocktail and dance with someone. Or you go hunting. Or you go to any movie that isn't on the WT approved movie list. Or you listen to music that might get your toes tapping. Or you....well you get the idea.

  an elders wife (I will refer to her as cut throat bitch)

  Sounds like one I knew of who happened to be door knocking in a small town about forty miles from the KH. A young woman who had been studying with jw's, and then quit after she married, came to the door. Instead of even extending the smallest of courtesies to the young woman "sister" CTB proudly proclaimed to everyone, "When I saw her, I spun on my heel and walked away form the door without one single word!"

  Can't you just feel the "love"?

  What do you glean from this article, and paragraph? “The path of the righteous is like the bright morning light that grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.”

  As the light gets brighter, a tree in my yard suddenly becomes a rose bush. The horses grazing in the pasture suddenly turn into chickens, and the tractors are suddenly cattle.

  Thank god the light got brighter!

  Do I have an evening every week for family worship?’

  And pity the poor jdub who because they are too busy scrubbing the local markets toilets that they must follow the suggestion order for family worship during the morning, instead of the evening. It must be evening.

  Listen, obey, and be blessed.
