Dam it, I missed it!

by DwainBowman in

i missed the jw, history making, all new mid week meeting!

and i am just so torn up over it, i've had a few drinks to drown my deep sorrow in, missing such a once in a lifetime event!.

oh how can i ever get over, such a lost opportunity like that, just don't know if i'll never get over it!.

You guys are great! My eldub, said I just can't believe you missed the first new history making jw event! My reply was, do you know how many, "history" makings jw events, I been to, that NO ONE remembers! I got the deer in the headlights stare!

How many, earth shaking, resolution, have so many of us set and clapped for over the past fifty years? Dose anyone remember a single one, past the dc being over? Except when they wrre rehashed in the wt!

And how about the so called pouring out of the 7 bowls, rutherford braged about, never amounted to anything, but to fill his pockets, and swell his head even more! How fitting they took place at an amusement park!

Maybe, another 6 pack of Beck's Dark, will do the trick!

Any other recommendations?

Two Year Delay in Building New KHs - What Is the Real Impact?

by committeechairman in

where are all these kingdom halls that were going to start being built?

the rbc arrangement was officially announced as an arrangement that was ending in the united states branch territory in a letter on january 24, 2014 (although this letter is no longer listed on jw.org).

this means that 23 months have passed since the announcement of the ldc taking over and "acceleration" of kingdom hall builds.. what has happened in the meantime with kh construction?

DwainBowman

My BIL eldub, is going to a fairwell rbc, hello ldc, meeting, fir all department heads and assistance. They are even to bring their wifes with them, for a party of some kind afterwards. He said they are supposed to learn all about the new ldc, and the team overseeing our area!

Anyway, that's what little I know!

What is your relationship with ALCOHOL?

by nicolaou in

here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".

another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".

already people are making cries of "nanny state!

DwainBowman

Very mild drinker! I really like the stuff, but it messes with my eyes very quickly!!!!!!

CO Pet Peeves, and cowering eldubs & others!

by DwainBowman in

i have seen many over the years.

a new co comes to town, and during, after or just before his next visit, often little pointless things change, sometimes big ones!

and most of the time, there is no to very little of anything in the wt or bible to justify it.. the one that popped to mind while reading another post is this one!.

My brother in law eldub, has all of his DVD, cable box, Roku, all set up in a small locked room. Along with his movie collection. He had problems in the past with CO & other eldubs snooping around, and trying to cause trouble. He has movies I never wanted to watch, even now!!!!

One DO serving in the south years ago, was doing the Host cong visit thing. The PO takes him out to the sisters place where he's to stay. (Very poor area) I would named names. but I won't, I will say this single German brother, wore lot's of gold, and extremely watches, and suite's. I spent three days working with him once) Anyway, he walks in looks around at this poor sisters little house, and turns for the door, saying, "THIS WILL NOT DO!!!) And leaves this poor little old sister crying her eyes out!!!! The PO get's out side as the DO spins out of the driveway. He drove to the nearest big city and rents the most costly room in town, and turns the bill over to the CO at the end of the week!!!!

Back when everyone still had magazine slots, the new co, had issues with them, because, some peons didn't pick up their stuff on time, and he felt it looked bad. That changed before the second meeting. After his last visit, the individual slots were all back, before the next meeting!

There are untold numbers of these things, and they rang from just funny, to totally assanin!

When does it end? My marriage is 90% great for the most part, except when it come to this cult

by goingthruthemotions in

i know marriage is tough and it takes work on both parts.

we have been together for 27 years.

the last eight have been involved with this cult.

DwainBowman

Oh I so feel for you!!!! And totally understand! I am married to someone I really do love, but she is so totally in, and her real life long best friend, is her eldub brother, and the only way she will ever listen is if he stopped, and told her it was all a lie!!!!!!! The friction this is causing gets harder all the time!!!!!

Good luck my friend!!!!!

CoBE Joins those Elders Deserting the Sinking Ship

by The Searcher in

from a reliable source:.

a young cobe - late thirties, maybe forty - has resigned in december 2015, both as the cobe and as an elder.

word is that he is a man with a young family who is stressed out and has had enough.

DwainBowman

They have been trying since the early 80's to convince the sheeple, that all

El-jerks are the same, and equal, with no Head Bull el-jerk! Twenty five some years, and it hasn't worked yet! I used to kind of play a game, each time I moved, and tried to pick out the head el-jerk, without asking. I was wrong only once out of say 12 congragation!

There will always be a power structure in the borg! They may not have the total power the head el-jerk once had, but they grab all they can!
