That's never heard of where I am. Usually the accounts servant is an elder or MS. It's possible for normal brothers here to serve as an assistant to the elder or MS in charge, but not to take on the main role. But things may be different where you are. Perhaps there really are no brothers available, so they have resorted to this desperate measure??

Does a brother have to be appointed an MS to be an account servant?
by 4thgen inas many of you know, my ex-husband was removed as an elder for child abuse.
i was told at the time he would never be reappointed in any capacity.
yet i heard today he was appointed as an account servant.

Imagine those congs whose loans have almost been paid up!
Say a cong has a year to go before their loan is fully paid. Their almost-paid up loan is forgiven but they have to contribute the same amount to the organization forever???

Invisible Rulership - one of the dumbest things I ever believed in
by Black Man inhaving now been out of the cult for a few years, it really shocks me about some of the nonsense i used to believe in.
like for instance, christ ruling in the midst of his enemies, but doing so invisibly.. let's let that one sink in for a minute.
you've supposedly got a king who is ruling for a kingdom, but it is an invisible rule.

And we have Jesus, always shown with grey hair despite being perfect & not aging as the rest of his imperfect followers.
Hey Muddy, it wasn't always that way... -

Other inanities:
- that it is really better NOT to preach as people who don't hear "the truth" are said to be given a resurrection rather than the poor saps who refused a paltry magazine and now merit everlasting destruction.Exactly my feelings! Also, I reasoned that the more I preached, the more bloodguilty I was as I was not able to follow up on all those who I called on. Giving them literature wasn't enough, if we don't follow up & they end up dying at Armageddon, it's still our fault as we were not thorough in accomplishing our ministry. So I said fuck that & quit service altogether!

Crazy bible logic
by OverlappingGeneralizations ini was thinking the other day (i know, i know, bad dub, no thinking allowed!)...

Even better with the Samson story ... once they caught this one man killing machine terminator-before-his-time and discovered his strength was in his hair (WTF?) they *didn't* appoint someone to cut his hair EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Nahh. That would ruin the whole story =P

And not to forget Samson...
Judges 15:
4 So Samson went and caught 300 foxes. Then he took torches, turned the foxes tail to tail, and put one torch between each pair of tails. 5 Then he set fire to the torches and sent the foxes out into the fields of standing grain of the Phi·lisʹtines. He set on fire everything from sheaf to standing grain, as well as the vineyards and the olive groves.
300 burning foxes. Yeah right!
15 He now found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey; he reached out and grabbed it and struck down 1,000 men with it. 16 Then Samson said:
“With the jawbone of a donkey—one heap, two heaps!
With the jawbone of a donkey I struck down 1,000 men.”
So we are expected to believe that Samson killed 1,000 men with the jawbone of a donkey??? Bear in mind that Samson could only kill at close range. These men had no weapons such as bows & arrows which they could use against Samson at a distance???

I wasn't fully convinced of TTATT at first. I still thought that JW's had the truth, but at the same time I was receptive of TTATT, thinking that it was interesting & worth looking into. It didn't take long for me to realize that something was seriously wrong & that I needed to do something about it. I started my fade in less than a year & life has never been better! My only regret? Not learning TTATT sooner! -
