  i can still remember the day.

  sitting in a theater watching the new star trek flick.. they were searching for god and found him...or did they?.

  when this part played before my eyes i literally felt my heart fall.. still powerful after all these years.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnxvkjav5ik.

  For me one original series episode keeps resonating,

  The planet controlled by "Landrew"

  Which was a mind controlling computer,

  A wonderful peaceful concordant society,

  okay, so i have a friend that still interacts with my family.

  she is going through some difficult times, so i suggested she just read some of psalms.

  she became a little agitated and said she would just listen to the mags.

  The last Witness nonsense heard was among other things (spread by

  local elders): Jeopardy question had New World Translation at World's

  Most Accurate Bible (never happened I checked)

  From past times,

  One CO said that a popular hamburger chain had blood in their hamburger,

  Another CO said that "direction from Society" was that at every door we

  start with: Hello, we're Jehovah's Witnesses" THIS GUY ACTUALLY LIED

  TO THE CONGREGATION
  

  Definitely a lot of abuse of authority,

  What I found amusing was a long time elder relating that on a recent CO

  visit the CO said how he was sick of elders asking for him to verify

  his instructions in writing from the Society,

  I'm hearin' a bit of a credibility gap lol

  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.

  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

  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
