My prophecy about the tight pants comments
by stillin inok, so, brother morris seems to have gone out on a limb with his comments about tight pants.
yup, he's an opinionated man.
but, i fully expect that there will be some reference to the scientific wisdom behind his words.

Religious nuttery alerts
by Simon init seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.
it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!
) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.

New requirement to become an Elder or Ministerial Servant!
by hardtobeme init has been a few months since i hear this from an elder.
he said that the c/o told them this new requirement.. "men that wanna be an elder or ministerial servant has to go out to field service on sundays.
if there is an elder or ministerial servant that is not going out to field service on sunday can lose the priviledge".
-

WOW!! I have heard "Taking a VISIBLE lead in field service" in the past. Never Sunday.
One Elder said I was "missing meetings" years ago "by working on Saturdays"and he repeated that to the C.O. I took him in the back room quickly with 2 other Elders, and asked him to "show me that in writing". He couldn't so I accused him of "running ahead, slander, and apostacy" in front of two Elders...they busted up laughing, he turned red, stuttered and apologised. lol- the guy hated me after that-

REPUTATION and disfellowshipping.....stories
by problemaddict 2 ina friend of mine is getting disfellowshipped.
someone with a kind heart, and good rep. he knows how i feel, remains my firend, and we have respectful conversation.
without revealing too much, lets just say the reason he is being disfellowshipped is for family problems.

Yes disfellowshipping is character assassination. So is "Private" reproof and "marking"- nothing private about these. In fact if a servant/elder/pioneer simply steps aside or is removed some Elders will use this as opportunity to even a "score" and create a "cloud" on that JWs reputation.

Since Elders And Mini Servants Have To Be Exemplary How Does Anyone Ever Qualify?
by minimus init seems to me that you must be almost perfect to be a " servant" in the organization today.
no college, no spiritually weak in the family, no disfellowshipped living at home, no tight pants, etc......who can live up to their lofty ideals?.

I bet being a "basic pioneer" will be the new requirement.

Compare how JW.org home page portrayed these events THIS WEEK- VS -the Newspaper story & what happened. I posted with Keywords and hot link. Hope some active JWs stumble on this thread today during coffee.
Hope it plants a seed or two and rings some mental bells.

Allergies are common. For me it's long haired Cats and a couple of Perfumes. No big deal, if my throat swells up, I move or go for a walk outside. Why make a big deal about it or even say anything?
We had a couple of kooky sisters who made a BIG deal about it in a couple of halls we were in. Insulting people, stomping around, wearing masks, refusing to sit in the back room with the air cleaner we bought for them. Insisting EVERYONE buy special no-scent hygene products. Yet... I would run into them in smelly paint and cleaning departments at the local Home Depot and they cleaned homes for a living. Selective allergies I guess.
In the old days I never heard of so many of these problems.....untill Watchtower created the regional building commitee $$$ and INSISTED we remodel by covering up the Kingdom Hall Windows, installing their new GLUE down carpet, their new seats, and their new garish vinyal wall covering, and cheap commercial lights. Suddenly everyone stated feeling nauseous during boring meetings for months as the high mark-up RBC materials off-gassed manufacturing solvents.

Reminds me a bit of the situation related in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_of_Conscience , were Ray explains how the Jehovah's witnesses in Malawi suffered beatings and rapes while the JWs in Mexico conceded to the governments wishes without a bit of persecution and the Governing Body never missed a meal. Anthony Morris will continue to rant while others suffer.

Social media strategy to expose JW molestation issues
by JimmyPage inthere are a lot of jws who will never hear about the molestation issues the wt has because all their friends on social media are fellow cult members.. what i'm going to attempt is to create a profile for an alter ego.
it will have a profile pic and banner that says "jw.org" or some other pro-jw nonsense.. then i will attempt to befriend a jw.
when one bites and accepts me the others will fall like dominoes and also accept my friendship.. at first i will post pro-jw things that will get me "likes", subscribers, and promotions in their news feed.. then i will lower the boom by posting the recent news video from the texas molestation story.

When I posted on this thread NINE days ago, I HAD NO IDEA GB ANTHONY MORRIS would run out and be the first to follow my advice!!!!!!
"act like a stupid JW and post PRO JW beliefs that are INSANE. Quote old WTBTS stuff that is WAY out there. lol Go on Gay, Lesbian, and news paper stories and tell everyone God is going to strike them dead, and they need to stop eating spicy foods and wearing tight clothes. Womens rights sites, tell them they need to stop dressing so sexy."
