This New Site

by smiddy in

i was a bit bamboozled at first , and now slowly getting the hang of it , the new tools we can use to navigate through it.. change is always hard for us old farts .. smiddy.

talesin

Me, too. I don't mind change so much, but it is harder to catch on. Dunno if it's because health considerations have muddled my brain or early dementia. :smirk_cat:

Donair, from the original King of Donair, est'd 1973

Cheap, spicy, and day-yum .. the sauce *sigh* ... the only fast food that tops a donair is Za.

Men are not looking forward to becoming Elders or Ministerial Servants

by Hidden-Window in

i have noticed an apparently increasing number of men who are not interested in becoming ministerial servants or elders.

i also know of some that have voluntarily stepped down (which is my case) for no obvious solid reason.. i remember, during my teenage years or even during my twenties, the brothers were always looking forward to being appointed... although many still do, i have noticed there are many others with whom you do not know what the deal is.. since there is no freedom of speech within the organization, we remain in the dark about the motives and desires of everybody else.

i attend a congregation with only two ministerial servants, while it is full of men who do not seem to be willing to do more.. it is hard to tell exactly what is going on, since honesty is not possible while you are inside, but i am starting to think that more and more are becoming disillusioned.... .

Apog, what you said,

There's still sincere brothers in there who feel that they're just doing what's expected of them: they fulfill their assignments and go out in service, then one day they're asked to be an MS, and they don't feel they can say "no"... years pass, and the same thing happens again, and now they're an elder. And they feel like they're pleasing Jehovah by helping the congregation. They're working hard for little reward, and they don't wear their title like a badge.

Personally, it seemed like a world of pain, and I saw no reason to work hard enough to meet the field service requirement just so that I could be made an MS.

Yes, I totally agree. Check my post above, and consider yourself hugged. (in an old-enough-to-be-your-mother, or at least your older sisteer, way). :))

It's not just the women who get a raw deal, and we talk about that a lot -- but what do the young men have to look forward to? A lifetime of servitude in poverty, perhaps stuck in a loveless marriage or, if they see TTATT, one torn with sorrow and disruption in spite of the love..... AND if they are LUCKY (lol), the opportunity to let the WTS suck the life from their souls. Indeed.
