  No longer to use "house to house record" slips and "please follow up slips"!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  a letter has just been read out indicating that effective immediately, witnesses are no longer to use the s-8 slip known as the "house to house" record slip, as well as the s-43 "please follow up" slip (usually used for foreign language people).. the letter stated that this is because of the changes in privacy laws etc that are becoming common in the world today.. i will try and get a copy of the full letter and post it asap.. .

  I stopped using those things when I was a kid just because they were not practical for a "seasoned" pioneer who kept meticulous records of his service to God. Not enough room to jot down all relevant data, including my astute observations, keen insights, and discerning spiritual perceptions.

  The s-8 was okay for beginners and the spiritually inferior. I required a small 3-ring notebook, properly tabulated according to territory zones, with plenty of refill paper, as my ministry, like Jehovah's chariot, was always on the move and advancing forward in dynamic fashion.

  Grats on the scooter! But wont you feel guilty by missing the meeting? Dont forget to shave!

  Thanks.

  No!

  This scruff is not the result of having forgotten.

  But who rents movies these days?

  I'm old enough to still do some things the hard way.

  Are you an apostate? You seem joyful, but who did you turn on?

  I don't remember turning on anyone. I just woke up one day and found out I was an apostate. 7 million JWs can't be wrong... can they?

  Dammit that sounds like a GREAT plan! I'm sat in the meeting right now planning the time when I can do the same.

  There's life out here. And the air is fresh!

  i always wondered about note taking at conventions and assemblies.

  why does this happen?

  I tried taking notes but I am a slow writer and it only served to distract me from the spiritual bounty being spread before me. So I opted to partake of the glorious feast rather than scribble on a pad.

  Jehovah's loved me for my diligent attention. I know He did.

  - take a nap around noon

  - clean out a corner in the garage for the new Suzuki scooter I bought yesterday

  - read some in a wonderful book I have been enjoying.

  - rent a movie from Redbox this evening

  - go to bed early

  ..... and they say apostasy is bad.

  this is the title of a watchtower book published 95 years ago in 1920 by j f rutherford.

  it still gets an occasional mention at meetings about how it was a turning point in the history of the watchtower.

  but how many witnessess today can answer this question.who are these millions of people alive in 1920 that would never die?

  That's great, CODED LOGIC.

  They may add, "Millions now living will never overlap."

  I read a post here that said: "Millions now dead were promised they would never die."

  I wish I could remember who to give credit to.

  "Jehovah's spirit is being blocked in the congregation"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.

  "jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".

  it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

  If it weren’t for your apostasy, Stuck, your congregation would be able to report several more return visits and at least one more study.

  Do you see what a drag you are?

  Got ratted out for celebrating Halloween...

  by cognac in

  one of two things will happen.

  i'll get disfellowshipped and never have to worry about being "told on" again for living a normal life, or; they won't do anything.. either way, it's freeing and i feel relieved... it will be sad if i get disfellowshipped but i've come to terms and made peace with it as much as can be expected.

  it's a huge weight to have off.. was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything.

  Simon: Just lie and then it's your word against someone elses.

  Sucky advice sucks!

  Cognac, don't diminish yourself by lying.

  (Curious to see if I get disfellowshipped and shunned for speaking out against the leadership of this site.)

  i'm just bored.

  i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.

  i like posting while on active duty.
