DA used to be used for unbaptized DFing

by rebel8 in

does anyone remember this, or was it just a local thing?

all the time i've spent on these boards, i've never heard anyone mention it.

just curious.. when an unbaptized publisher was in a situation "warranting" dfing, they would announce from the platform that the person had been dad.

SadElder

Isn't that how they got Michael Jackson out? I don't beieve he was ever baptized .....

letter from congregation

by by grace in

hi all, i've been gone for a little while, but i'm back and i wanted to get some opinions.

back in april i told you guys that i sent out my da letter to the congregation, our family, and some of our witness friends.

well, we got a letter in response from two elders by certified mail.

SadElder

Take note of the contents of this letter and ask yourself if the local elders actually produced it!

Metatron, I echo your sentiment. The wording of that letter sounds all too legal, much like other letters from the WT. However I am not aware of any recent instructions or letters to the BOE that incude this type of letter. Will have to make some inquiries.

Perhaps this is an attempt to stop the mass exodus that appears to be taking place.

Sharp dressed men, or thanks WTS.....

.....yeah thanks to all the men in my (past wts) life!.

i've recently started working for a big department store and was hired to work in the men's department.

i've found that my years of being a jw has finally paid off because if there is one thing i learned being a jw is how sharp dressed men dress and yes some of those elders could really put on the nines!.

SadElder

Please... never ever polyester. Suits from Brioni, Corneliani, Hickey-Freeman if you will... always wool or other natural fiber, i.e. a nice silk sport coat.

For more than 40 years I've always worn french cuff shirts when wearing a tie. Over the calf socks for the gentleman, if you will, while wearing business attire. Leave the cutie pie stuff for the club.

And curse who ever came up with the idea of no socks with business wear.

OK, I know I'm a fogy, so sue me.

(http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/86635/1.ashx) frankly, i'm a lil' bit concerned.

SadElder

Perhaps he has taken up the fine fight for the faith by beating his sword into a plowshare....

Got D20?

by Sparkplug in

friends

i know there are a lot of camera buffs that post here...so i just had to say how cool the new canon d20 that is hanging around my neck is!!!

i am so excited.

when i went to pay at the store all the men in the store were drooling....at my camera.

SadElder

Looks like a great camera. But a little pricey for my intro to digital cameras. I just bought an EOS XT that gives me 8 mega pixels. So the 20 must really be great. Enjoy!
