Here's a Good Example of Elder Humility! (page 2)

Interesting stuff, Voyager. I must agree with Euphemism and Heianderen. I have taken several of the training courses this guy listed. He probably is a very "slick" Elder. Technique is no substitute for character though. As for the resume' with the high powered people I've worked for, as soon as they got to the JW part, it would have gone in the trash! These guys hate religious business people! Often calling them the worst crooks! Maverick

I agree with Maverick--he is probably pretty "slick." I know of this "elder" who looking back in retrospect, I suspect, had a plan to manuever things to steal my husband's and my business away from us, by first sending his two sons to work for us. I'm pretty sure they reported back to their father everything that happened, and I think they sabotaged our business. Thankfully they were not in our congregation.

Well to make a long story short, when we ended up losing our business (I will have to say my husband was partially to blame as well --he financially extended himself too much) and the other "brother" ("elder") took it over, he treated it, as he told a pioneer brother in our congregation as his "mistress". The pio. brother didn't like that attitude so much and he didn't like this guy as well. He viewed him as "slick". I do not trust anybody who view themselves as self-important, esp. ones who claim to be JWs and have positions in the cong.

I was looking at his main page, with some quotations he has listed. I wonder how he meshes the following into his life as being an elder in his congregation:

Live your live with conscious choice rather than through unconscious programming. The observing consciousness is the vantage point from which we see our life from an objective point of view. Anytime you are experiencing a situation that doesn't seem to be working for you, exercise the observing consciousness:
1. Observe your emotions; what am I feeling?
2. Observe your thoughts; what are the thoughts, judgments, attitudes or perspectives I have that are causing these emotions?
3. Look at your only options:
- change the situation
- change your thinking about the situation
- leave the situation
- stay stuck

Small world - for quite a few years I attended KH with his mother Cassie Bright - elderette, pioneer and "flamboyant" dresser. She made most of her own clothes and loved hats. Behind her back, some (not me) gave called her "Brassie" Bright. I remember the Awake article on her life story too.

Who is "Grant Michael Bright"? Who Cares? Lady Lee said:

If you ask me he is slightly delusional if he thinks letting people know he is a JW and granny was in the Awake! is a selling point

Too funny!

Funny looking guy.

Sounds like one hellava guy...

It does look like a resume. If he really wants work, major screw-up in stating he's a JW elder and even providing a JW link (interesting article highlighted there btw, on how the entire world is in the demonic hands of the Satan, complete with "proof" that demons possess houses and make noises...")

Wouldn't touch that guy with a 10-foot-poll to do any consulting for me. Not even to mow my lawn.
