  Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?

  matthew 24:45-47: who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.".

  The dubs have built an entire belief system along with a hierarchy to enforce it based on this one scripture. I could never understand this scripture as applied when I was a dub.

  i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.

  a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.

  one of them, a very attractive girl.

  Does she have to be 40-50 years of age and do they need to know each other for 10 or 20 years? I know several that have done that and are now in their 60s and still single.

  
  Witnesses are a gossipy bunch. They're like chickens, find a little flaw and they'll peck you to death. So regardless of the circumstances some dub will find something to complain about or find fault with. They'll have the back room setup before the sun sets.

  Teddy Hero Worship Continues -- Sept 15 Study Edition Bio on Melita Jaracz

  very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.

  basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

  I had been at Bethell for a week or so working on a special project, I remember walking down one of the tunnels past Ted and Melita. I spoke and they both ignored me, she looking down her nose as if I wasn't worthy of acknowledgement. I said well "huh... I never" and then I got a muttered response. "Enjoy being with my dear brothers and sisters".... maybe with a paper handshake at hand.

  The Operating Committee having been consulted, and after several fact finding three hour meetings, has determined that paper rolls in the brother's restroom should be over, and rolls in the sister's restroom should be under. However, at the beginning of each service year (September 1) rotation will be swapped in each restroom.

  During the meetings held the brothers were unable to determine if quilted Northern or Charmin tissue should be purchased and whether only white should be used with out colors or printing? The Service Committees of all congregations were duly consulted, but no consensus was achieved. Accordingly a letter signed by all members of each Service Committee has been forwarded to Tony "spanx the monkey" Morris for an official ruling. Until such time as a response is received each congregation publisher should bring their own toilet tissue roll to each meeting. To avoid overloading the septic system, publishers are advised to use only one sheet per toilet visit.

  Your brothers,

  Kingdom Hall Operating Committee

  Let's see how long it takes for Crooklyn to send out a letter advising that this was for the Bethel family only or some such drivel.

  I noticed on one of the sites that displayed this video that some people were shocked at the "worldliness". Can you imagine? Oh my a worldly song, and dancing, such a sin. If it was up to Tony 'spank the monkey', everyone would sit at home reading Watchtowers every waking minute. No music, no TV except WT TVLand, no spanx, no colored socks, and no laughing.

  If you are in the US, should you die tomorrow, without a proper estate plan, the IRS will take 50% of your estate. It's notably called the death tax. Seek the assistance of a good financial estate planner.
