Well I guess this means I'll be getting some "shepherding calls" pretty soon.
It's been awhile so I'll probably get at least three. -

Wow - did you get the part about sheparding 'sisters' - all that caution because 'weak sisters could form emotional/romatic attachments to Mr. Strong Elder'. Yea, like it would NEVER happen the other way - that Mr Strong Elder would never prey on Ms Weak Sister.

I hate the way they paint the 'sisters' as being so weak that they cannot fight against their own romantic desires. It's disgusting how they portray women in the BORG. From what I've seen in day-to-day life, women are better at controlling themselves than men by several orders of magnitude.
As usual, they don't like the idea that women are actual PEOPLE.

Oh man!! Those shameless, lusty sisters latching on... ugh!
Watch out for those commercial copiers because we care so much about confidentiality. Not, patient confidentiality, mind you, because it's okay to disclose doctor/patient information. But, we don't want get our asses caught with our legalistic, punitive god-appointed forms, so keep away from commercial copiers we don't get bagged.
The ass you save might be your own.

Surely you are jesting. This letter cannot be real!
Show me the scan. The Watchtower does not write in this manner (as far as i know?)But you never know. Miracles i guess do exist. I don't know though if you can call them miracles.
ah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

yes the letter is real. I scanned it as a pdf file so it could not be altered. Of course I cannot send you the originals. Perhaps some others serving as elders can post and authenticate the letter.

1.) call the legal department.
2.) call the legal department.
3.) call the legal department.Seems like quite a few "refinements" going on here with this letter.
Nasty copiers. Stupid technology.

I can imagine an elder and a sister (who really are attracted to one another) conversing in full view of the congregation (in a low voice) after a meeting as they plot their strategy for their next secret date.
Allowing an MS to do a supervised conducting of the BS once "every two months" shows a R--E--A--L--L--Y progressive spirit, doesn't it? When I did high school practice teaching 40 years ago under the supervision of the regular teacher, "every two months" would have been laughable if the student teacher was to get some real practice!!!!
WBTS just likes to pontificate the same old same old same old same old
boring seven and eight pages of boring BS that's been heard countless times wasting countless hours of elders' precious time they could use to really help someone or at least spend with their families. The religion is not one of truth but one of endlessly repeated droning words of deathly boredom that are to be INTERPRETED by JW's as Truth and Holiness (not unlike the "feeling of holiness" one is supposed to experience by being inside a Catholic church as "evidence" that the Church has "God's favor").Might as well have motorized prayer wheels (hanging over the podium) inscribed by the GB with words of endless BS so that meeting parts could be eliminated. Or they could devise an OM meeting (Our Ministry) where all you have to do is hum-chant OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM with the rest of the congregation for two hours and you'll be saved.
Gimme a break!!!!!!!
