Men do like it if the girl makes the first move cuz that means she's easy.
hold on hold on dont u think u should listen to guys about that we know if they myths are true or not and the whole thing about women making the 1st we do like that not cause that means she is easy...
We give you signs you guys are just stupid. We give you so many shots and chances. and usually if the relationship doesnt work out and the woman made the first move she would usually feel like she ...
Wait a minute. Do girls actually *like* the fact that guys are supposed to be the head? I always used to get the impression that sisters, at best, tolerated the fact that brothers were in charge ...
We don't have people assigned to do field service..it's just if there's a brother there he takes the lead and if not then one of the pioneer sisters does. But I want to be in charge and do things in a nice orderly way!
Is that still true even if the brother is fairly young? (Say under 19, for example.)
Um..most likely. They'd probably ask him if he wanted to, so as to show proper respect. If he didn't want to then I doubt they would force him to and one of the sisters would have to take the lead.
Interesting. I don't think most of the sisters in my old congregation even asked if I would want to do it when I was the only brother out. That's one of the reasons why I asked the PO about it, and when he gave me that response I decided not to insist on running the meeting for field service.
in our congregation its always the brother who handles meeting for service unless no brother is there then a sister would it doesnt matter how old a person is. and anyway its alot of work i would just rather listen and go whhere im told to.
see...that's why brothers who are reaching out have responsibilities...paul says those brothers reaching out are desirious of a fine work...WORK...oh yes.
I'd really like to know what it means to be "reaching out". It seems to me that the elders have to decide to ask you to do something. What are you supposed to do if the elders never ask? When I was in my old congregation, the only thing I was ever asked to do was give impromptu talks, and that was because I was friends with the Theocratic Ministry School overseer.
Ok, I am a sister and this doesn't involve me at all. But have you ever tried talking to an elder and saying, "Hey, I would really like to be used more in the congregation, is there anything you can suggest that will help me reach this goal?" It might be possible that there is something you are overlooking that prevents you from being used more in your congregation...it's just a thought.
And as a macking moderator, I just want to say that this is totally off the topic of macking.
yeah it's off topic.
let me tell you something - the elders want to find responsible people who WANT the congregation and WANT the meetings to function smoothly. find a way to help that happen. ask the elders during the meeting what setups they need for their parts. get to the meeting early and make sure the stage/sound is set up. go into the library, make sure all the books are being ordered for the library. don't BRAG about what you're doing. word will get back to the elders that you care. just to care. because you want things to function smoothly. and that it's not a joke.
(i wish someone had told me this 4 years ago- i doubt i would have listened, but still, you know?)
