A meeting will have 3 elders vs 1 of you...
Do the math: The results are obvious. Why subject yourself to such an unfair and inappropriate proceeding?

meeting with elders about WT involvement in UN
by LevelThePlayingField ini still go to the meetings because of my in wife and it came about that the elders knew of my pissed off attitude about the society getting involved in the un.
so the elders said they could help me get over that and wanted to meet with me.
now just to let you know, i have only told my wife and her mom so far about it, that's it.

WT "Study" for 4th September 2016 - “Seek the Kingdom, Not Things”
by Nicholaus Kopernicus ini’m sitting there in the kingdom hall just thinking how rich it is of the gbojw to preach about materialism when they have recently been evidenced to be using bro’s & sis’ contributions to the world wide work to travel business class!
just that thought alone was leading me to read scripture while they were all engaged in the wt “study”.. however, then it came to paragraph 17 and i blurted / choked a little.
the paragraph said that “we should not imitate the people of ‘the nations,’ who have no real faith in a loving heavenly father who cares for those who put the interests of his kingdom first in their life.”.

Automatic log-out after a period of inactivity on this site?
by stuckinarut2 inhi simon,.
i noticed that most financial sites like banks have an automatic log out after some time of inactivity.. could a similar thing work here perhaps?.
if someone has logged on, but not used the site for say 20 minutes, could they be logged out and have to reenter the passwords?.

Hi Simon,

If someone has logged on, but not used the site for say 20 minutes, could they be logged out and have to reenter the passwords?
That would prevent someone accidentally leaving their log-ins and username visible if they leave the computer accidentally open....and save some potential issues for those fading...

It's all about control, and power.
When someone has to "report" to someone higher up, they are therefore showing their submission to them....
But, this is not a cult you know....

CLAM Video: Aug 8-14 2016 – “Older Ones - You Have an Important Role”
by Nicholaus Kopernicus inthis video portrayed an elderly widowed sister who was a former pioneer and now reduced to submitting field service reports of 15 minute increments.
she was also portrayed as quite frail in that she ambulates with the use of a quad rollator frame.
she was very neatly attired and groomed and what the video showed of her apartment conveyed everything perfectly tidy to a level which would have relaxed an ocd sufferer.

Yes, once again, this simplistic presentation fails to show THE REALITY of life!
You can not survive on "good intentions". They don't pay the bills.
The society's discouragement of education is downright despicable!

Oh the irony!!!!
by notsurewheretogo injust saw this pop up in my facebook...i laughed out loud in the office and people looked at me.. .
is it just me or is it very ironic to post that scripture with a picture of the hq?
because following men at hq is exactly what they do!.

But witnesses ARE following God by doing all that the GB directs!
Like that famous quote in the WT said: "clearly Jehovah and Jesus trust the faithful slave, so we should do the same"

CLAM Video: Aug 22-28 2016 – “Jehovah Will Care for Our Needs”
by Nicholaus Kopernicus inthis video showed a married brother with three children living in a nice domicile and working full time.
his employer demands that he change his working pattern such that it conflicts with his being able to attend wt meetings at the weekend.
the brother decides not to yield to his employer’s demand and is thus dismissed.. the brother seeks for work very actively over a significant period but without any alternative being found.

To most witnesses, they feel it is a badge of honor to struggle financially. Almost like it proves their spirituality or something....

I'm not at the meetings because I am one who values TRUTH and honesty,
