so any ways to deal or cope with elders who just don't like you (you didn't do anything wrong or they're just making stuff up about you) assuming that you can't leave?
especially when it comes to for example becoming appointed as an elder.
or are you pretty much "dead in the water" if the elders are determined to like you despite reasonable efforts to win them over.
I have two influential ones on the same body in my cong who are dead set against me as a person....they just don't like me and try hard to find fault with every talk or comment I ever give!
i just don't let them affect me! I keep going on as normal....stuff them.....
isn't that just annoying?
can people even comment in their own words anymore?
how bad is it where you're at?
Yes...I hate it so much!
But in our cong, if you go off even a little from the paragraph, you get accused of "soap-boxing" or "grandstanding"!!!
so, i am genuinely wondering if the above is possible nowdays?.
with the changes in the power structure of co's, the changes in gb directives re never questioning "jehovah's appointed channel etc", i wonder if "disciplne can be given out in absence?.
i know that several elders in our cong have little "discussions" about my apparant slackening off, and would love to take action against me... they have tried to chat with me but that has been shot down.. so i wonder if they could just make a decision without me being present for it?
Seriously scully?.
wow...that's amazing!
so very very bad form of them....

well then sparrowdown... "dead man walking' it is then...
RIP me!
I know I am in the sights of a few very overrighteous elders....They hate the undercurrent I have stirred up.....
Oh these are great!!!!
Can we do more parody mockups of real pictures from magazines, tracts books etc??
I love the pretend tracts and handbill invitations....I would print them to size and insert them at the hall in amongst all of the real ones!
The memorial invite from a few years ago was a classic!
just a heads up to anyone interested in hearing this jerky.
anthony morris iii will be the guest speaker for tomorrow's spanish assembly at the escondido assembly hall.
just google the address to get directions.. i was thinking of bringing a copy of my sparlok video for a autograph ;).
wait for the comment:
"we just love this new teaching about the GB" or some power hungry garbage like that.
That then allows them to go in whatever direction they like, because "we are directly appointed by god you see"......

Hey label licker...sounds like there is a doozy of a story behind your comment?...sounds interesting....
i'm out of touch with dub-speak.. .
in another thread--the writer refers to the co--is this circuit overseer--congregation overseer--or what ?.
A Circuit Overseer is:
"a no-body, a real world drop-out, a power hungry big fish in a very small bowl that means nothing in the real world"
Couldnt resist...
this week is the "special week", co is back.. he phone called me this morning asking to meet together.. i replied "i don't refuse people who want talking to me, but my condition is that you must be alone, and we meet in public space.".
he agreed and we will meet tomorrow in a cafe.. .
this week he already met with my wife in the kh, and he told her "i believe your housband is apostate !!
Just keep your dignity, speak politely. Remembering that other people are around you will make you act like a dignified human being.
Keep telling yourself that "I am in control of what I will allow to affect me, and no one else", so dont be drawn into discussions you dont want to go into.
Dont allow yourself to feel intimidated or feel like a little child talking to a teacher...
You can say "thanks for the coffee" and leave anytime you wish.
