  boring meetings

  by Ray6 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why don't the brothers put more feeling and encouragement in their parts(if they believe this is the truth-show it) much of the information is above the heads of the children.

  i have to force myself to concentrate on what is being said and not fall asleep.. children are forced to sit for 2 hours or get smacked.

  you can just stay home and read over material.

  Pioneer School Book

  by Eyebrow in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ever since i was a kid i wanted to be a pioneer and go to pioneer school.

  i remember how every summer a crop of pioneers would come back all excited from the school with a "pioneer book" that no one was allowed to read except pioneers that had gone to school.

  seriously, even as an adult a good friend of mine would not even let me take a peak, as it was taboo.

  How do you interperet being" no part of th...

  as jw's, we often hear the scripture about being no part of the world, you know the on where jesus says" i am no part of the world, just as you are no part of the world".

  .

  i am curious as to what you're thoughts are on this idea, as a jw, you are always taught that you are automatically part of "the world" if you are not a jw.

  Elders render an account

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in view of all the discussion about elders' accountability, you might be interested to read the society's attitude:.

  aware that they must render an account, the elders were happy to assist a repentant fellow believer the watchtower september 15, 1996 (page 21).

  aren't you glad to know that?

  The C.O. and elder came to my house last night!

  by Sarah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please tell me i made the right decision.

  last night the co and another elder showed up at our house just 5 minutes after my husband got home from work (i think they were sitting on the side of the road just waiting for him to come home)*stalkers*, anyway to make along story short, the pressure was on.

  i felt like they were there to get us to da ourselves.

  Why Are You Here?

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the question, "why are you here?

  " is simple enough, and your answer may be straightforward.

  however, when i asked that of myself, i find that my answer is pretty complicated.

  TRIBUTE to a CIRCUIT OVERSEER

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the years, circuit servants and then circuit overseers came and went.

  i can only recall a handfull because the rest were unimpressive or i was not real active during the visit of some.

  most cos that i recall were humdrum with perhaps some single interesting feature or personality quirk.
