Reasons for doubting.

by New day in

somebody mentioned in a recent topic that they had a conversation with a former elder whose breaking point was when the overlapping generation was highlighted in recent times and how he would never serve again until somebody gave him a scriptural reason to believe it.

i am in a similar position.

i have gone in the last 18 months from taking the wt study, leading fs groups, and doing talks on the mtngs to doing almost nothing, as i resigned a little over a year ago as an elder due to a combination of family responsibilities and huge doubts.

Overlapping Generations in 2010 was a real eye opener for me and the wife.

What is kind a neat by not serving is that the friends without any titles have been more open to me and letting their hair down by frank and open speech. We cuss a little bit, drink more and have a really good times together!

Recently, I noticed a Single Sister in her 30's had gotten 2 tattoo's. I was the first to notice(she told me she got them 2 months earlier), I said "your secret is safe with me".

The Elders found out from her father, she was called to the back room for a meeting. I told her to tell them(yeah I prepped her what to say), "Tell them you are a little depressed being a single parent, but Jehovah knows I am doing all I can".

In our area if the cobe's are in their 70's or not computer literate, they are forced out!

Leaving Quietly

I used to think that a lot of these Bethel Speakers were fantastic until I learned that. Now without the blinders on, they do sound ridiculous!

Are there any ex-missionaries here??

by fulano in

i have been a missionary in the dominican republic for almost 10 years and i was wondering if there were any ex-missionaries on this forum.. i am back in my country now for 3 years and totally inactive.. what i noticed in those missionary-years was the lack of spiritual interest among the missionaries.. discussions were about rooms, cars and greater responsibilities, the bad territory.

and the local c.o.s and d.os.. was this only in the dr or are there other experiences??.

ere other experiences?

Excellent read and a Eye Opener!

Sub CO and Wife, both Reg Pioneers, go back to NC to live with his Parents

by James Jack in

this couple both in their mid 30's, lived with me for awhile and i gave them employment, because they are both regular pioneers and married right out of high school, also because i am that kind a of guy that likes to help people.

various friends have been helping them out for years, so i guess it was my turn to help them out.. the brother got stupid with me, so i told him i had enough of them both and that it was time for them to go elsewhere.. the co loved them so much, the pioneer elder was made cobe in another congregation and a sub co. the brother also got to conduct pioneer service school.

(so he is a hot shot now).

James Jack

This young couple just thought to much of themselves. They had no problem running over people.

Case in point. A young single Sister who had a baby(10 months old), just go baptized and the struggles of raising a young child was overwhelming her. A young "worldly" man to an active interest in her and she married him.

She was DF shortly there after. This couple bragged that they know she wasn't ready for baptism and that warned the Brothers bout it!

James Jack

That is what this Brother (Lou Vaning)told her the value is.

So I got this letter last from US Immigration, (I thought he was suing me for unemployment, but it turned out they were doing a background check on him, he was not born in the U.S.). I had to call him to find out what was going on with this letter. He then informed me that he was laid off, out of money and that a Sister whose house they were staying in rent free, had sold the house and they had no where to go.

So him and his wife are moving in with his parents from another state(North Carolina).

This is what happens, when you are unprepared for the real world!!!
