Elders/MSs and Higher Education
by HiddlesWife inwould a brother who is an elder or ministerial servant be looked down upon or ostracized for endeavoring into high education?.
the reason i am asking this question is because i know of a ms who went to and graduated college (us) with a masters in science and engineering.
he also taught these subjects at an adult education program.

Doctor Who
I was an MS and going for my degree in Civil Engineering. When one eldumb found out, he did everything in his power to get me removed. He failed, mainly because I was a 20hr/month publisher and the CO pointed out that I was more active in the ministry than he was.

I have a favor to ask. I need to find a statement that was in one of the magazines, but I can't find it now. Can you help?
by AndersonsInfo ini have a favor to ask.
i need some information found in a watchtower that i can't seem to find in my library.
today, the watchtower teaches that the governing body is the faithful slave.

Watchtower 1981 February 15 pp.17-19 Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible?
pg. 19 says...
OUR VIEW OF THE "SLAVE"
We can benefit from this consideration. If we have once established what instrument God is using as his "slave" to dispense spiritual food to his people, surely Jehovah is not pleased if we receive that food as though it might contain something harmful. We should have confidence in the channel God is using. At the Brooklyn headquarters from which the Bible publications of Jehovah's Witnesses emanate there are more mature Christian elders, both of the "remnant" and of the "other sheep," than anywhere else upon earth.

10 years ago, it was verboten. They had assembly parts, convention parts, etc... warning about the evils of social networking sites like Facebook. Now, well...the flip flop has begun, Even though I still hear ones that are still in being cautious of it, many are ignoring it and doing what they want. Even some of their pubs have recently talked about 'internet witnessing' if I am not mistaken.

Dress and grooming
by stuckinarut2 ini know this is an old topic, but it came to mind again.... yes it is appropriate for people to dress neatly and respectfully for a dignified religious gathering, but why does it have to be a full suit with collared shirt and tie?.
why does it have to be a full dress or skirt and jacket?.
sure, we would find it distasteful for a person to arrive in swimwear or work overalls or other inappropriate attire, but why does it have to conform to strict standards?.

JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?
by KateWild ini saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.
they were not actively approaching anyone.
what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

Why in the world would I want to approach or talk to them? Reminds me of Prov. 26:11...Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly...

Could we use the new shunning guidelines to our advantage?
by Island Man inaccording to new, officially published guidelines, jws can now shun a person who has not been disfellowshipped from the congregation.
i see this guideline being abused by many jws who have an axe to grind with a fellow jw.
for example, let's say sister peinindiass rubs sister sensitive the wrong way.

Sisters in my old congregation have been doing this for years! Years I say! Our old COBE's wife was an expert at it.
