(a) why is it difficult to find acceptable recreation?
q 6, 7. what can help you decide what is acceptable or unacceptable.
9 at times, christians ask: "what is acceptable recreation?
When some of the elders, ministerial servants, or other
mature ones are present at a social gathering, they provide an influence for
good and the occasion can be even more refreshing.
I have been at some gatherings where elders and ministerial servants have set the example in over drinking to the point of being drunk.
So what are you doing this weekend to re-create?
I was hoping to get some yard work done. Itching to get outside. But the weather around my parts is not cooperating. It's very cold.
I hope you and hubby have a nice visit and a nice weekend

my sister and her husband finally told a elder friend of theirs why they have been absent from the meetings for all these months.
) our family has chosen to only use the 607 issue when dealing with the elders.
because it seems to be the only issue they cannot answer!
Sound like this elder is a bit rattled to say the least.
But you got the wheels going and hopefully he will use his god -given mind to figure out.
good work

this obviously is my first post, i actually feel like i may be sick but i felt compelled to post.
only if to just say hello.. my life has been anything but boring, pioneered for years, brought several family members into "the truth", and find myself unable to have studies anylonger because i feel unsure about the stand i have taken all these years.. i was previously married, my husband left the organization for various reason, we divorced and i recently remarried another brother, he is a wonderful man and husband, i care for him deeply we and had been friends for 15 years.
i also have a son from my first marriage who is 4, he is the love of my life, recently my son had an opertion that could require a blook transfusion and to be honest i could never deny him that.
Hello unclear,
Welcome here!!!!!!!!!
It must have taken a lot of courage to post here. You wont be disappointed!! Keep reading here and keep thinking. In time the confusion will dissipate and you will be able to see all things clearly.

jehovah's witnesses will be experiencing a special treat during their co (circuit overseer) visit this season: a bona-fide pledge drive.. during the thursday night meeting the normal co talk will instead be a video entitled:.
building kingdom halls advances true worship.
this 30-minute advances video is well produced and explains the watchtower society's program to build simplified kingdom halls in third-world and poor countries were materials and funds are scarce.. interviews and footage focus on south america, africa and eastern europe.
We will be getting this video in the summer months when the C0 comes around again.
Can't wait to see it
wanna
notice how #29 sounds a little apostatish?
shame on them for slipping that one in.. remembering when .
.. 1. when there was a grading system on the written review to indicate how well you did.. 2. when the circuit overseer considered the "continue in the things learned.".
Jourles,
There are only a few in your list that I don't remember. I'm depressed, Did I really waste all those years???????????

i knew a number of elder's wives that were nuts.
one in particular used to talk to herself regularly.
I've met a lot of jw with various mental illnesses.
well, it's memorial season and mom has been giving me the "look" this past week ever since she has decided to pioneer for february and march.
anyways, the thing is i plan on buying a new car in the next couple months.
well, i know how my mom operates.
You do what you have to do. Funny, I was thinking about pretending to pioneer this month too. Just to keep the dogs at bay. But I don't think I fake 50 hours. I would have to get out a lot more and I don't think I can stomach it.
wanna
i would say either ray franz, randall waters, danny hasgard (sorry for the bad spelling dude) or satan.
what is your opinion on that ?

Years ago my father (elder) told me that the biggest apostate in the org was Fred Franz's nephew. He was evil and tried to take over the society and was jelous because he wanted Freddy's job.
Years later these words came back to me when I read Ray's books and read correspondance he had with my husband.
I was so sad that such a wonderful man should be so maligned and slandered.
wanna
most of you have seen me post under my alias truthsetsonefree.
some call me "tsof" which is cool too.
one or two of you know me by my real name.
Sorry, but you are wasting your time. Eventually you will be forced to teach something you know to be wrong. You can't pick and choose all your talks.
I have to agree with this statement. You start picking and choosing too many times and feelers will go up and some elder on your body will want to know why.
My husband is also in and believe me eventually someone will notice that you don't tow the party line. Someone noticed that my husband was not including the faithful slave in his prayers. Imagine that.
But it is noble of you to stay in. It takes a lot of guts to stay in and tolerate all the crap.
I would like my husband to step down. I don't know how he does it.
Kudos to all of you that are still elders.
wanna
