  Do you believe that Jehovah is using the Organization today?

  any elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.

  i hope that they will never ask me that question.

  any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.

  "Well Of course!

  amazing grace have been around since 1779, how great thou art 1885,holy holy holy 1826, be thou my vision (ireland) 6th century, all creatures of god and king (italy)1225. so you think one day we will hear a kingdumb song playing over the radio.

  you would think surely jehovah want the world to be familiar with his hymns.... maybe they have instructed the rf to only sing their songs in the kh, only for special folks..

  Elder wants to stop by with the CO for a visit .

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.

  he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".

  he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.

  Re redvip and freddo's comments,

  I see your point as a rule of thumb,

  But I could see it going differently depending on the individual CO,

  They're not all the same,

  I'd hate to see the poor guy get blind sided,

  I might agree with pbrow in a way,

  I was able to move and get away from this 'loving' harassment,

  And still talk with my 80 year old mother until she dies,

  If I could not do that,

  I probably would have thought: Do your worst you SOBS,

  And get some peace,

  And where does all the love go when you simply and quietly disagree with

  them,
  

  Sad

  In my experience routine "encouraging" calls are made with one elder and

  one MS,

  "Serious" calls are made by 2 elders,

  "2 witness rule"

  In my case, I told them sure, I'll talk to one of you anytime, not 2,

  They kept insisting, I moved,

  This was not encouraging,

  This was harassment,

  I was like Nikl,

  I did nothing wrong,

  I wasn't going to play their game though,

  And let the terrorists win,

  Bullies

  SAHS,

  Your argument is logical,

  Sad to say I'm pretty sure it wouldn't win points with any Judiciary

  Committee,

  Um, Kairos, by your comment you don't sound like you're that familiar with Jehovah's Witnesses lol

  If any baptized Witness tried to give a polite refusal this would

  immediately be discussed by the elders amongst themselves,

  The inactive refuser would be on everyone's radar,

  And there would be intense efforts for two elders to meet with him and

  this time he would be under investigation,

  For Apostasy,

  The results of this would be made to the body of elders,

  Who would probably appoint a judicial committee,

  That could disfelowship him,

  From Jehovah's loving Organization,

  Nice
