So, Whats the real reason JWs are no concessions open at the DC and are discouraged from supporting nearby vendors?

by BU2B in

so ever since they discontinues the food service at the assemblies and dcs, jws have been "lovingly encouraged" to pack a light lunch to eat.

the secretary at the hall that i am held hostage in said during the service meeting that even a sub would be too heavy to eat, and that a light salad was the best option.

what do you fine people think is the real reason why, in the absence of food service, jws are told to not leave the building at lunch?

My kids know that convention = happy meals for 3 days...

Such a happy time!

Yes, as everybody elses says: it's about the money. Is you eat outside is far costly that eat a light nothing there. And the money has to go to boxes, not to McD.

Faithful and Discreet... Slave or Manager?

by Splash in

there are two parallel verses, of which we are very familiar with one in particular:.

(mt 24:45) who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?.

(lu 12:42) and the lord said: "who really is the faithful steward, the discreet one, whom his master will appoint over his body of attendants to keep giving them their measure of food supplies at the proper time?".

" So as a slave/overseer, how should they refer to themselves, as the slave or as the overseer?"

They are humble. The name is not important. Only worship them and that's all.

Hey!

more or less the same that me. More or less the same area.

Someday, if you want to share histories and coffee, just send a PM.

Remember: you can't wake up someone. You have to be patiente to wait until they awake. But if they want to sleep, arrange another pillow take care of their sleep.

Also remember: as in the matrix, everyone can be an agent... if you suspect one: Run!

Regards!

Tech49 on HOURS, TIME, and REPORTS

by Tech49 in

i thought i would share some of my observations on counting field service time, reports, etc.

and how those reports are viewed, to those that are still so fixated on numbers.. i served as secretary on the service committee for many years, and have seen it all!.

i was really disheartened when wt changed the requirement for aux pioneering to allow for 30 hrs, instead of the 50 it has been for so long.

South America, in every cong there is a different weird history!

Yes Hoser, I wouldn't believe it too. But it happens a few years ago. Big cong, but there were only a couple of elders, Now I think that they need the guy's help.

Later, he left. Now he's gay. Free. Happy... and don't need to report.

But, I used that argument in my cong and it worked! Still I DO report my coffee time.

I always try to put something different in each slip.

In fact, Im not always take the same coffees!

There was a MS in a old cong that never goes to preach. And was MS for years! he always reported ¨ 0 ¨ . The elders can do nothing: he ask them how much time the bible says that a MS has to do to qualify... they never answered.

Wall.. This is hell. but any other optiopn is still worse...

It's like a war, we have to know how to wait. And look to every way: everybody can be an agent.

Try to relax. And go to the preaching work alone (Or, as I call it "coffee work").

Remember something: you can't expect differents results doing the same thing.

cheers!
