  Question

  i am sure that this has already been discussed, so maybe someone could direct me to the correct link.

  i just haven't been able to access this site as often as i would like.

  at the meeting tonight (i wasn't there but was told about it), the brothers were told to pack up a "survival kit" with enough provisions to last for six months - water, medications etc.

  i hope this comes up - if not you can copy and paste.

  very humbling and eye-opening to see ourselves in this perspective - how arrogant, self-righteous and oblivious we are as a species.

  Interesting email from a lurker

  i received an email from a member who is not comfortable posting yet, says for now he just lurks - but he/she made a very interesting comment about the gb giving instructions to the elders about making adjustments.

  here is an exact quote: "for all you brothers that have responsibilites giving talks, public talks on the platform, assemblies and convections coming up, you have some work to do.

  you are going to have to relook at those scriptures you are using, and make some adjustments in whatever it says from the bible.

  Beginning of Electronic Assemblies?

  do you think this could have been an experiment to see how smoothly these events can be processed, and what the reaction is from the rank and file?

  it would sure save a lot of money if events like this could replace at least the one day circuit assemblies.

  there has to be some recognition that the "flock" is becoming weary and they don't have the funds to be travelling to these events.

  Do you blame Jehovah, Yahweh, God, Jesus, etc. for the corruption of the borg?

  do you hold god accountable for the corruption of the borg?

  i've noticed there seems to be a bitterness, by some, that includes "god" in the equation, when discussing the borg and their policies, the governing body, elders actions, etc.

  do the borg's transgressions originate with god, or does he feel the same disgust as we do?

  Question about future enthusiasm of the congregations.

  i was the store manager of a large furniture store - part of a national chain.

  we had large sales once month, and giganic four day sale every quarter with a large amount of print and tv advertising.

  for these quarterly sales we would have conference calls every morning with our directors to report our numbers, contests for the salespeople, and target goals for each salesperson, individual store, and the national district.

  Short Introduction and Reply to Lazarus

  hi lazarus - i'm new here, and i'm a little disturbed by some of the judgmental comments i have read here concerning your situataion.

  isn't that what the borg has done to all of us?

  each individuals situation can only be judged if that person walks in your shoes.
