Definately a sister told me they run after gringos like an Olympic event...if you land one it's considered "Trading Up". Have patience not enough sisters know your here yet...you'll be beatin' them...

you're saying latins run to the gringo/a like an olympic event? i'm confused

originalsnob May 3, 2006

Whoa I do not speak of my own originality...a sister herself said so she's not even a mut she's 100% pure breed Latina. I can't say that I haven't observed A LOT of truth in this area.

socalgal May 3, 2006

hahaha i was totally curious on what you meant. i think its 50-50...as with anyone ya know.

originalsnob May 4, 2006

Yeah I mean the first sister is closer to my age range...older but still pretty young. On the other hand an older more mature sister told me something similar and added that a majority of the perce...

Wow. Someone actually said that from the stage?

iwz May 4, 2006

she kinda misquoted the part about ministerial servants.. it was more like, "and not ALL servants are great either". can't remember exactly how he said it.

dgiaimo May 4, 2006

Ok. Well that's definitely true. I've never understood these girls that go gaga over MS's. Pretty much any brother that goes out in service regularly and is willing to do stuff in the congregati...

that's not true at all - or, at least, it shouldn't be. There are qualifications for being a servant, which a brother must meet. Those include being tested "as to fitness first", as Timothy says. I...

I agree - there's a lot of work that servants do that no one else sees, and they don't trust just anyone with those responsibilities. I think it has to do with a good example the brother sets too. It takes a ton of patience, and let's face, it a lot of brothers aren't cut out for that. I know I'd have to spend a lot more time working on my patience before I'd consider myself at the level of some of our servants.

Maybe the brother who gave a warning just meant that girls shouldn't look at the position a brother has and assume they still don't need to dig into his personality. The way someone acts with people at the hall isn't necessarily the way he acts at home. That seems like the spirit of the warning to me. I can remember brothers on the prowl for pioneer sisters and the same counsel was given.

It's all about where your heart is. Position means nothing to Jehovah. We're all equal. Jehovah uses such ones because their circumstance allows them to do more. Others have health issues or are single parents and that is not an ideal candidate to be a MS. Sisters need to dig deep. The ones who don't stand out or put in 20 hours a month in field service are sometimes pretty good too.

I think that's what I said. But even brothers who can't spend a lot of time in service or who can't have a lot of responsibilities can still "stand out" and be an integral part in the congregation.
