Actually was brought up at our last Servants meeting. We had a recent surge in babies born at our hall and there is not enough room in the woman's room or the small closet they call the Babies room (nursing room.) The CO suggested to "Get rid of the library and make it a babies room and put the congregations computer in the old babies room with all the latest releases on it." He said we don't need to keep printed copies if we have digital. I think that is what they are going to do here in about a month.

When I go to the Sunday meeting I always get a group to go afterwards to a local Chinese restaurant. Now remember, most of the people I hang out with are like my sister, questioning or on the fence types. We have a blast with the cookies. One sister keeps saying she is going to sneak one into the Kingdom Hall and put it into this one sisters purse when she is not looking, This sister in question is a hard line born in who actually councils other sisters about hem lines. I keep goading her to do it. God I hope she does! -

How many times were you told, "You Just Don't Qualify Yet to be an Elder"
by John Aquila inyou think it's the holy spirit that appoints the elders, at least that's what new jw males are told.
the culture within the organization dictates to all young male jehovah's witnesses that unless you are an elder, you will not get the sultry, passionate- brunette, the voluptuous, curvaceous,- blond, or the seductive, erotic, red headed-vamp..
so unaware of the social forces that are shaping your mind, you succumb to the dictum issued by the governing body to conform to the structure already in place- if you want to be successful.

I was told I was appointed as an Elder but I refused it because I was just waking up. Couldn't/didn't want the bs involved. Now I am trying to slowly fade as a MS. Not as easy as it seems. I actually have a couple of "real" elders in my congregation and when you say you are missing because of sickness or something, they really try to help. I think I am going down the anxiety route again. Worked once before, and the brothers aren't trained to deal with it. -

Has anyone seen the movie "TERMINATOR?" This is how the end of mankind happens! We all need to go door to door and warn everyone of the imminent destruction. Oh, wait! I think I just relapsed! -

Dude! I am stealing that if you don't mind. That's friggen awesome! I am going to use that one my "bible study" with my cousin. (it's not a real study, we just get together, drink beer, talk shit, and I count the time.) He'll love it!DarioKehl
I refer to it as "the force from Star Wars." It's not as powerful or believable tho.

Our slightly senile older pioneer sister had a doozy of an answer on paragraph 9 yesterday. She said basically that "this is still type/antitype isn't it?" She had a few of us chuckle as the WT conductor tried to explain it. If it wasn't for her, I don't think I could sit through a meeting anymore. -

Back to the issue at hand. Run away my friend! RUN AWAY! I have given talks at other Halls and when the single sisters find out I am single, OMG! I have a party of 10 at a local restaurant with these nut jobs telling me how 'spiritual' they are. Well, except this one....she came right out and said to me she came 'from the world' and needed 'hmmm, intimate contact.' I liked her........

Introvert 2I've been mostly single my whole life on account of circumstances and being a workaholic, that and my personality ( freedom is important to me ) I can say by experience that single by choice brothers are not looked upon very well. As a side note see if I care
I know that feeling. I had a piousneer sister once try to hook me up with another sister from a neighboring Hall. She even took my picture without me knowing to set it up. When I found out I asked her if she was my pimp or something! I was told by her elder husband that it is not normal for a man to be alone. SMH! I just looked him in the eyes and told him it is not normal for people to pimp each other out.
