  Tech49 on DC: Experiences are not truthful

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was sent a link to a homemade video from our summer district convention, not the one i attended, but the next weekend.

  it was a video of a local brother, relating his "experience" of "trusting in jehovah", and how he was blessed.. it was just about 1 short minute long.

  ms harper showed it to me first, she wanted to get my comment on it before she said a word.. background: we both know this brother, he is about our age, so we know the "real" story.. anyways, his story goes like this: this experience goes back about 10 years (jeez, we must be really searching for the experiences now!).

  Education Double Standard

  this is the kind of thing that really burns me.. .

  wtbts holds out an extreme double standard in regards to education.

  most, if not all, of you know how they feel about obtaining an education past high school (in the u.s.).

  Tech 49: My Tripping Point, Part 2

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after reading some of your other posts and experiences, especially regarding the elder's school, i am reminded of part 2 of my experience down the rabbit hole.. the last elder's school i attended was in 2011. i remember vividly the 3 day event.

  i remember vividly being bored out of my mind!.

  as has been stated by others, the hours of monotone counsel and examples and experiences were continually beating on your brain with the usual stuff:.

  Self-made Persecution?

  by Tech49 in

  at the recent dc, we had the 1 hour drama on sunday that focused on trusting in jehovah, no matter what events come up.

  in the opening scene, we see a father watching a news broadcast on tv, and he learns that jw's have been banned, overnight.. this got me thinking, again.

  almost weekly, we hear about persecution coming, soon soon soon!

  Excuse me.......What Does GOD Need With a Starship ?

  by Tech49 in

  i have been pondering this thought for a while now, perhaps you all can expound on it a bid.

  the bible describes god as "jealous", having great "rage".

  "burning anger".

  so given the amount of focus on things that we can be angry or upset about, or how we have been wronged or abused.... i thought it was time for a bit of a change.. how about sharing some fun experiences?!!

  ok, i will start.

  i promised, in my opening post the other day, that i would share some that have happened over the years.

  Tech49 on HOURS, TIME, and REPORTS

  by Tech49 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.
