  I turned it down three time over a ten year period of time!! I was appointed as an MS at 18, and I was 27 the first time I was asked to "Serve" as an eldub!!

  I received some pretty harsh words each time!

  Disability, is not Welfare!

  I have known many that pioneered while on disability. Most were legit.

  I was in a cong for a short time, where if you were working full time, the body pushed you to quit full time work, and take part time, and sign up for food stamps and other welfare programs. If you didn't, do so and pioneer, they would not even call on you in meetings!! This cong, had 70 publisher, with 40 of them pioneering!!!!

  He dose not work 5 days a week. More like a couple weekends a month. He says that he counts driving time, and time at home going over the project's!

  I was just committing on him, not trying to make a point of any kind!

  Oh by the way, he's the biggest hypocrite I have ever known! His older brother is a smoker and a drunk, but with his mon's and brother's hely, he's been able to stay in good standing some how!! I have pictures of him doing both, that were given to me by his son! I have seen him many time smoking! His eldu brother threatened me and another family member over this issue!!!

  And I thought that my X in laws were big hypocrites !!

  I spent a couple months helping remodel an old church into a KH in Mississippi!!!

  The stage still had a baptism pool underneath it! The last time I passed though that small town, it's a church again!! I guess it was a good ideal to keep the pool, incase the time came to sell it!!!

  I called a hotel on the list once, they were booked up for WT people. I called back a day later, and booked a room. Almost the same price, but I got a couple free meals, and a few other nice perks!!

  Most hotels, also give a certain number of room to WT, for their use.

  Review: revised Elder's manual, part 3

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  judicial committees are famous for having 3 elders on board, but more can also be had:.

  complex cases may warrant having four or even five experienced elders on the committee.. an interesting admission is the possibility of being harsh in judgment, and even insinuates that the elders would pay with their lives if the wrongly judged 'lost their spirituality':.

  an individual unjustly dealt with may have difficulty maintaining his spirituality.-matt.

  It was normal to give forst time speakers, the first half of a public talk, and another brother the other half. So that is just restoring that, from years gone by.
