i will have plenty of "snark" to post later on, but please indulge me while i get this out of my system..... suppose you are the leaders...yes, the leaders...there are only 7 of you...for the one true religion in all the universe.. jehovah the god of the whole universe speaks to you, you alone, out of 7 billion+ people on teh planet.. you have an opportunity, thanks to the advancements in technology, to speak to 750,000 of your followers "live", and another 750,000 or so within 24 hours.. 1.5 million people!
hanging on your every word!.
this is the first time in history you can simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, address so many of your adherents.. what message are you going to present for this special occasion?.
Thanks Phizzy for clarifying that for me, that JW's worship the GB.
From being on this site and others and from listening to my mother-out-law, a full on JW, I thought that must be the case.
My now deceased father used to say, "Focus on Jehovah. Man will always disappoint, Jehovah will never disappoint".

I don't mean to be a party pooper or anything, but was there any mention of Jehovah at this zone visit talk thing?
Perhaps if everyone, especially the GB focused on what the religion is supposed to be about, the worshipping of Jehovah, then all
other things will fall into place.
I haven't been to a meeting since the memorial of 2013, so am not sure, do they still worship Jehovah or are the priorities changing?
i'm just bored.
i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.
i like posting while on active duty.
Don't bother reading this is good enough reason for me to read it. It is like heading something as private or confidential, you are guaranteed an enthusiastic reading audience.
brothers would full on laugh at the c.o's lame jokes.
fight over who gets him for dinner where no expense would be speared..."oh they dont eat flour, sugars or milk products...".
I just read Auntconnie's comment about being a CO's wife. Would love to show that to the mother-in-law. Problem is, she wouldn't read it and even if she did, she would not believe it was a CO's wife.
What an agonising time she is going to have in the circiit work or maybe the adulation will be enough to keep her going. You never know, she may meet an attractie, sexy brother in the circuit and run off with him. Wouldn't be the first time!

Whenever we visit my mother-in-law she is always talking about what the elders said or what the circuit overseer said. She talks as if Jehovah himself was there in the flesh. She couldn't be more impressed if he was. Actually she never mentions Jehovah, it's always the elders, CO, Bethel brothers and wives of these " wonderful, worthy of worship" people.
A CO that once visited held a barbecue and invited "selected" people, MIL was one of them. Well, didn't we hear about that for ages after.
Another CO visited us a couple of years ago and after the visit was over, it was announced to our cong that he had been disfellowshipped. So much for him being a god.
thought you all might enjoy this, i sure did!
hugs, .

I thought the post by Roamingfeline should not be hidden so far back on this site, so if I commented that would bring it to where the discussion I'd happening now. Just because it was said 14 years ago doesn't mean that it is irrelevant now.
i remember many years ago we would talk about those who leave the org.
something bad will happen to them.
because god was mad at them for turning away from the wt.
All the bad things happened to me when I was in the Borg Lol
stupid me does not know how to copy paste pics from instagram site.
nmh.

What happens when Caleb and, or Sophia get disfellowshipped. They are being pushed into all this at such a young age. They will be teenagers in a few years. Will we have to shun their cardboard cutouts? Will someone be posting a pic on this site of them in the Bethel skip bin? "Got Junk". YOU BET WE HAVE!
i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.
y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.
arrrrggghhhhhh!
24/7 really irritates me
Sounds like a plan
The use or overuse of the word allegedly especially in the media. One story was of a man who allegedly shot someone. He was seen by heaps of people, so he did not allegedly shoot someone, he actually shot the person.
i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.

Any information on what is happening in Australia regarding KH consolidation?
