Limeys tend to smile when they hear the need of a "tow truck" (mind thinks toe truck).

That way, she will establish that they have all been given the same instructions from the Org, as opposed to one Elder's personal notes being discounted if challenged!

As I do not have the knowledge, I'm assuming then that the updates are a letter that is READ to the BOE - is that correct?
And then is that by the CO or the CoBE, or both?

It's actually a long overdue correction.

Drilled into me by my Dad, and I do the same with my kids.

First Post - Emotionally Torn

by scaredtospeak in

i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.

i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .

i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

I have to agree with you on the point you so wisely picked out: WHY can't you pay attention to outside reports about the organization? (Is it because they have something to hide?... Turns out, YES! That is exactly why!)

It is amazing how we really are programmed.

I remember when the program below aired, and I dutifully changed the channel.

This reporter hates JW's, Fifth Estate hates JW's, blah, blah.

Finally watched it 2 nights ago.

McKeown WENT EASY.

The anguish of that poor young man.

WITNESSES CAN STOP REPORTING FIELD SERVICE!

by The Searcher in

the lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .

a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".

b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

No hour requirement is interesting, especially when you type that into WT Library and the resultant KM results.

Public preaching not controlled or monitored - must mean an update coming to od book, page 103, pars 1 and 3.
