How Some Climb Up So Quickly?!!

by Sofia Lose in

our current co has not been in the org all that long, less than 10 years, and already quite a respected overseer.

i know of a few married couples in the spanish congs that are doing everything right, you know, with the theocratic schooling, the pioneering, etc., and... nothing!.

how do some seem to reach certain posts so damn quick, while others cannot make it?!

To answer your question, it's not about how much you do but who you know and your abilities.

If you can motivate, kiss enough ass, and have "connections" or "know someone or knows someone who does" then you are a shoe-in.

The WT could care less about seniority or how zealous you are. It's a numbers game and if you can help the bottom line then you qualify.

Sad but true. I know of some brothers who have been spinning their wheels for years trying to be the most spiritual person in the org. yet they remain like that for years. What a joke.

i see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.

i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.

also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.

Tenacious

And when they recently have admitted to errors and say they've been wrong in big ways in the past, some accuse them of having some secret conspiracy theory motive behind it.

And when have they ever offered a sincere apology for having been wrong? When? I'd like to know.

to all brothers and sisters reading this site: "and i love you so" (remember the don mclean song?

)...is the feeling most of us had with regard to the watchtower and the brothers leading it.

but truly, who did we get baptized for?

Tenacious

I don't have time to be obsessing over what the GB is doing.

Soooo, I'm guessing you don't listen to them? As in the publications?

Strange but Sad!

by John Aquila in

i had a couple of elders come visit me about an hour ago.

they wanted to inform me that a brother who was well known throughout the circuit had died.

(i actually knew about it but did not go to the funeral) he was about to hit 90 years old, missed it by a few weeks.

Tenacious

This goes to show how deeply ingrained the WTS has embedded their propaganda into the minds of their members.

I am not excusing the elders for their obvious inconsiderate and inhumane treatment of the daughter but this is what they have been taught (from infancy sometimes).

Fear is prevalent in an organization that claims its a brotherly paradise.

Fresno man facing murder charge after shooting a Jehovah’s Witness who refused blood transfusion

by Tenacious in

a fresno man is facing murder charges in court this week for the shooting death of a jehovahs witness who later died after refusing a blood transfusion.. according to police, quevedo and silva argued over over gang membership with quevedo returning later in the evening to shoot silva through the security door at his home.. silva reportedly told a fresno police officer jehovah, jehovah, im dying, im dying, as he was taken to a hospital where he died during surgery after refusing a blood transfusion because he was a jehovahs witness.. it is the belief of many jehovahs witnesses that it is against gods will to have a blood transfusion.. according to defense attorney antonio alvarez, quevedo should not have been charged with murder because silva refused a transfusion that could have saved his life.. prosecutor gabriel brickey disagrees and will call fresno county pathologist michael chambliss to testify that, even if silva had received the transfusion, he would have died because one bullet hit a a major vein.. quevedo has already served time in prison for felony battery and theft and was on supervised release when he was arrested for shooting silva.. if convicted of murder he would face life in prison.. original story with suspect picture can be found here: fresno shooting.

Although this brother was obviously on the fringe of the org. I can help but pray for him and his family. He died perhaps not even knowing the full story on why the org. banned transfusions.

Another young life taken in order to satisfy the lust for power of those imbecile maggots in NY.

I don't know Frank, history has been against the FDS from the beginning. All starting with Russell being a Mason down to our time with Losch pushing child baptism. We are talking over 130 years of contradictions and failed prophecies.

The growth seen is based on the harsh physiological conditioning of members for generations over.

The FDS/GB/WTS and whatever else they can be called seem to have never had God's blessing.

For a second, say we do stand up as a group and speak out. The only result would be an expedited exit from the WTS with pink slip in hand. The GB do not take orders or even consider rational discussions (see CoC R. Franz) they are as arrogant as any of those Wall Street Bankers.

I think at this point in the game, all we can do is pray that God brings the change those sincere brothers and sisters are looking for and have for many, many decades.
