So my group overseer just texted this to me. Can someone please explain? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦

So no I'm not going to bend MY knee to these men who want to control my personal life, but rather "leave it in Jehovah's hands"

Yes, yes. All very eloquent. But where are you going on your vacation?

Look, there is only so much seriousness I can muster for this. I don’t even know that it is genuine. If it is, it may be just a personal quirk, someone one-upping the request to know where people are in the event of an emergency. I have never been asked such a thing, nor have I ever heard of it from anyone.

He probably is just making up schedules and wants to know when not to put people on them.

i guess you're right. We don't know his motive, but the request is out of the ordinary and a bit controlling.

I've also found that some people just can't allow themselves to admit, when someone they normally don't agree with, is correct. 

It does come across as sort of odd, I agree.

Honestly, I cannot imagine our group overseer ever sending a text like that. Nor anyone else in our cong. for that matter. Especially not the "I just need to keep a track of you" bit. That just sounds too creepy. But everybody is different, as are cultures. What sounds ok to some, sounds weird to another.
