i was wondering if there are any current regular posters here that are still active , but are mentally inactive and don't believe all the bull anymore, and are just going through the motions to keep their life with friends and family together.. i realize this might be a posting that will probably get 0 replies, but.......
am often called on to give an experience I've encountered in the field service. I have a number of them that I have thought up and written down to be used in an emergency
Gary 1914,
You rock! Do you keep a straight face when you'r giving those experiences
When I lived at home my father gave plenty, I would say 1000.00 a year. I pioneered for 2 decades and sacrificed half of my life to them. How can I put a price to that.

ok - so special talk today - you can feel safe in a troubled world.
15 minutes devoted to to how bad things are.
iraq and usa were headlined and 1914 was mentioned > 20 times.
Same malarcky from this end. I though maybe it was only our local speaker that spewed the earthquake statistics, but I guess they are going back to the old stuff.
The light goes back and forth. Will any dub ever see the stupidity of it all????? Our hall was packed today.
did anything exciting or alarming ever happen at your hall?
i remember only funny incidents, like one brother getting up there with his zipper down.
(i knew alot of brothers after that felt no shame to actually check down there before going up on the podium!
On time a sister was giving her talk pretending to be talking on the phone. Well, a mouse started going up the cord. She saw it but continued to give her talk. All of a suddent two elders come with buckets from either side of the stage and try to catch this mouse. One fell flat on his face. All the time the sister is talking faster and faster. The audience just sat there and roared. It spiced us the meeting a little
sorry i do not post much but i do not have much original things to share because everyone here seems to cover it all.
i have had something strike very close to home and i thought i might share it incase someone out there might be thinking the same thing and is trying to put their finger on it.
i should give a small history on it to set it up.. growing up in the truth i was a model young man.
Hi Briguy.
You said
SO now I take a different approach and am working on really getting to know God. Not getting to know God through a channel made by humans.
You are so right. I feel that I have a stronger faith now than i ever had in the my years of unconditional attachment to the organization. Those higher ups really have a lot to pay for hindering millions from a trrue relationship with their creator.
Welcome to the board

it's the pancreatic support ribbon.
i feel so helpless.
dedpoet let me know if there's something else that i can do.
i am sure i could apply my speculations to other countries, but i know the usa, so i am .
being specific about pioneers in the usa.. the pressure to pioneer instead of marrying or raising a family (or both) was considerable in .
armageddon was coming, afterall.
A few weeks ago elders at my hall had an elders meeting. They were told that the Canadian branch wants to have 20% of publishers pioneer fothe month of April. The PO handed pioneer slips and told his fellow elder body to fill out the application and hand them in the next meeting. So there is a great push to pioneer during these campaigns.
my two cents worth
