John, I got to the point were I figured. If they do not want me to help, handling mics, sound, M.S., etc... Then they could do ALL the work themselves! This included cleaning the toilets! Oh, my field service time was always good enough to clean the bathrooms. I am very glad I was never made a servant. It made our fade much easier to do.

30How many times were you told, "You Just Don't Qualify Yet to be an Elder"
by John Aquila inyou think it's the holy spirit that appoints the elders, at least that's what new jw males are told.
the culture within the organization dictates to all young male jehovah's witnesses that unless you are an elder, you will not get the sultry, passionate- brunette, the voluptuous, curvaceous,- blond, or the seductive, erotic, red headed-vamp..
so unaware of the social forces that are shaping your mind, you succumb to the dictum issued by the governing body to conform to the structure already in place- if you want to be successful.

John. I never even made it to M.S. Status. I was told numerous times I needed to get more F.S. Hours. I was 6 - 8 hrs per month, they said I needed at least the national avg. Shorty after that meeting, due my work. I could only make 3 - 5 hrs per month. I was no longer good enough to even handle a mic! -

Our hall is asking for money...
by thedepressedsoul ini guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

So, what happens if a congregation does not have enough funds to cover local expenses, utilities, supplies, etc? Let's say they have asked the "friends" for additional funds, still not enough. Will WT help the congregation?
Has anyone experienced this type of situation?

Switching Halls
by the comet init's time for me and the mrs. to get the hell outta dodge.
recently my hall has undergone major management changes and the atmosphere is..less than ideal.
i'm getting multiple calls a week asking to set up a time to meet, i've politely declined but these guys aren't taking a hint.

For our situation. We just faded from our hall. We figured, if we move halls the Elders will just send a letter telling the new set of Elders how weak we are. Then we have to deal with a new set is Elders. Hope it works out well for you! -

This is the new and improved Greatest Man book. They had to make it a GB 2.0 publication. This is a GB 2.0 cult now.
I bet there is a puppet master behind the GB, i.e. a Board of Trustees. Let me guess...they are all wealthy. I think we know a few. The secret little society.

Bro Loesch's talk.
by New day inrecently i heard through video link to our kh a talk by bro loesch where he attacked university study (again) but this time he prefaced his remarks by saying, and i quote, "the faithful slave does not forbid you to go to university.
" so this was a bad start as his following remarks made it clear that this was just a way of seeming reasonable while basically saying that we shouldn't do it.
he went on to use an illustration i think he has used before about a man with ocd who decided to kill himself.

He mentions pursuing things on this side of armageddon. If that is the case why are they building a new headquarters? Why not be content with where you are now? After all the end is closer now than ever. How about all of the Brothers and Sisters you sent off to college to defend you in court? How about all the Brothers and Sisters you are "USING" at Bethel? You know the doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, builders, plumbers, electricians? The ones YOU are benefiting from. The ones who are working FREE for YOU!
They hypocrisy is just through the roof!
