maybe the watchtower should put out an edict that if any "associates" do sell any old literature on ebay / car boots etc they are to hand any money over to the org.
i'm sure they could dig up a scripture to support their instruction.
a recent post by atlantis/ petra was about destroying old books, some of which had been studied and placed over the years.. is witnessing these days only about directing people to jworg, are there books that are placed, or is hq concerned enough about having ever-changing beliefs in print that they avoid it?.

i wonder if these old books on ebay are being sold by jw's hoping to make a bit of money out of them ?
if not ,why do they claim he took up his power to reign as king in 1914 ?
do they claim that ?
or is it that he has only returned awaiting for god to give the throne to him.?.
The sheep believe what the watchtower tell them to believe..which is variable
one of my tennis friends who happens also to be a nurse, told me today that he is concerned about my mental health because i support donald trump.
i believe he got shafted but i also recognize that very little will probably change regarding his being re-elected.
this man voted for the “green” candidate and said he personally agrees with most of trump’s views but he thinks he’s morally corrupt.
I think your friend is saying youre batshit crazy..Min

You arsed us a question..i dont know the answer.

what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.
she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.

All ok here.

or do you think it’s more a work in progress?.
Ive met quite a few female exjws..either in person or online. Most had health issues..the sort of illnesses only female jws get. Usually diet related.

Hi Cantleave. How are you and your family ?
i was reading in the shepherding book that elders should “ cultivate and maintain friendships with one another.”, and thought to myself “bulls$it!” i remember that most of the elders in my old congregation were nothing but nasty asses.
i know it may vary from congregation to congregation, but do elders generally get along with each other behind closed doors in elders meetings?
or, are they often in conflict with each other?
Back when this elders "arrangement" first started..early 70s? Was it ? In the cong my parents attended..(i was far away and married by then)..there was an unholy row.
I never knew the finer details..but i do recall the cong was split into 2 cliques..and they even sat on opposite sides of the center walkway in the meetings.
When it came to recommending those first elders..that was a real feud about it..to the degree that 6 or so got disfellowshipped..and there were no recommendations..apart from one...my dad..and he certainly didnt want it. So a new presiding overseer was "parachuted in" from a neighbouring cong..
This took place in what was then Hockley cong in Birmingham UK..later to be called Winson Green. ( If anyone reading this knows the area )
