Weird crazy rules imposed by your local Elders.
by stuckinarut2 inwe all know the sort of thing..... in many congregations, specific "rules" creep in...introduced by the local elders that become set in stone.. years ago, i heard of a congregation that sat down during the first song of the evening but stood for all others (the co changed that very soon after).
then there were the older accounts of congs that had rules to make the public speakers wear only white shirts.... in one cong now, i heard that brothers can only be used for sound or microphones if they do a minimum of 5 hours per month in the ministry!.
another cong has ruled that all appointed men must pioneer for at least one month each year in order to remain qualified.. .

I have the same feelings at times. Perhaps that is why I read and post on this site.
Your life sounds great. As you grow you will make new BFFs and have your own family that will be allowed to chose their own path.

for those still "in" what's the mood
by lastchance inin my area the general sense is bleak.
many are in survival mode.
even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

Strange video.
If the creator of all we can see from earth, including all of the wonderful beauty here on earth.... was using 1 organization to inform modern man all the thing yet to come...
Well I do not beleive anything would need to be up dated. Teachings like 144K then add Great Crowd.. This Generation.. No blood at all...wait some blood in certain parts.. Governing body not the Faithful Slave...wait , yes it is.. well now it is.
Expand, build more branch offices.. wait, close them now.
Come work at Bethal for life.. wait, your getting older with no medical coverage... leave now.. go back out ther and figure life out at 50. Oh.. we are in need of help now in Bethal, replace with 20 year olds.
Governing body appoints Elders and Sevvants... wait, no the C.O can do it.
CT Russel and JF Ruthaferd were founders of this organization...wait, no they were not. Lets distance ourselves from their false prophsies.
Do not use electronic devices at meetings... oh wait.. use them..
I could go on and on... you get the point.. I no longer beleive God speaks through the WBTS.

Just wondering
by ducatijoe inso i am new to this site.. i have left the organization of my own accord.

I was too an Elder for many years with Convention speaking assignments. But I was living a double life.
I was DFed and rightly so. I still beived in the WBTS and came back.
It was after my reinstatment that I atarted to look at the organization differantly.
Once my thinking about the truth in the teaching abd control of members it was still hard to make the leap to leave.
I could have never imagined how well all would turn out.
If any are wondering.. just ask some of us. Sent a message if any need help.
In or out.. best to all!

Good thought.
Shame many who are in but minds are out can not experiance the joy and freedom when we leave.
I do miss my family. However the many friends I thought I had were CONDITIONAL friends.
The friends I now have are TRUE friends that have no judgement or alternative motives.
One can still beleive in God and Christ without the WBTS telling them what to think.

WTBTS continues to move to paperless
by pronomono induring my last meeting i was approached to see if i would be willing to switch to the electronic version of the km/watchtower.
i thought to myself "i'm way ahead of you here, buddy.

Silence after stating my confusion about "144,000"
by tidalblitz inthe other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.
the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?
" this friend does not know how to answer this question.

None of the 144k idea is true. When I stand back and look it does not make sence.
I will be interested how they change the understanding of the 144k as more time clicks br
10 years, 20 years.
More "New light" no doubt.
If God was behind this organization all info He gives them would be perfect. It's not, is it...
