  Wasanelder Once has summed it up nicely. The real bitch fights took place away from the "official" meetings. Just before I "stepped down" I went to the c/o and bitched about a pain in the ass elder who had shifted in, was dictating the show and living in the "wrong" territory. So I whined and bitched and .........the c/o transferred him to another local cong cause they had an exceptional need for elders!!!!

  Could someone be amassing a personal fortune at Watchtower land?

  by Gill in

  how sure can we be that no one or even two or more jw is amassing a personal fortune at the expense of the watchtower slaves and the watchtower society?.

  locally, there was an elder who was able to have affairs with three different women, including his wife for thirty years.

  during that same time he had his hand in the contribution box to keep his business going.. we're talking thirty years here.. i agree with many posts here that the legal dept actually run the wtbts now and not the governing body.

  Hey what about some do-gooder who buys the c/o a car or loads them up with cash each time they come around? Does he declare all that to the tax department? Or what about the c/o who knows how to play the system and can hint at what he needs so that people will buy it for him....in exchange for a talk the the assembly?

  It must be possible in some way or other. Some of these guys are in positions of trust, and some are trustee's for the ownership of Halls. I have heard about some Aussie guy from Adelaide, South Australia who used a K Hall as security for a loan that went belly up and the hall was repossessed!
  Knorr used to have two first class seats on the plane, one for him and one for his witnessing bag.

  how many find that they need or want to be on the forum at least once a day?

  do you like keeping up with fellow posters and friends or do like being able to give your thoughts without the fear of being criticized?

  i look at some of the amounts that some have posted wow and i am no better for only being here less than a month, it is a great place to talk and get loads of wisdom from others on a variety of subjects, thanks everyone for the thoughtful expressions and heartfelt posts.. abr.

  Addictive........well.... I have tried to get on with things, but then something happens, I get a bit annoyed about something, or I want to know about something that I have heard about in dub world and back I come, and generally it is mentioned here...even before the dubz in dubdom know about it, and I love that.

  i volunteered and gave blood for the first time this past tuesday.

  my heart condition has improved to the point that my doctor okayed my donating blood.

  i am kind of a wuss when it comes to shots and needles; but being in a hospital in intensive care gets you over that.

  I say, good work. This is a very good way of quietly being able to get a point across, that she will think about later.
  
  This also raises an interesting side point. Just in the last week or so we have noticed a difference in the way the dubz have been in their attitudes and actions toward us. Where once they would at least say hello [we are non attenders/not df of da] they have been more wierd, trying to avoid us and going to pains to do it.
  
  This paragraph may hold some explanation. We will have to wait for a week or two until they move onto some other crap before it rteturns to normal!!!

  and now we have to silence you

  by A Paduan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a jw reads jw pulications, figures out it looks like a sham, and then brings up the inconvenient truths to "the wrong people" - is that all it takes to get silenced - ousted - removed - ceased etc ?

  ?

  no: "never in these instances, however, did they presume or originate predictions in the name of jehovah.

  never did they say these are the words of jehovah.

  A question to ex elders or anyone about the remnant

  by cultswatter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when a remnant dies, is the death reported to the wts ?

  such as name, date of death etc is there a special form that the elders have to fill out when this happens?.

  also when just a regular jdub (non-remnant) dies is their death reported to the wts?.

  The c/o notes partakers, not by name, only by number. They are also counted each year at the memorial. Number only, no names. When one dies, the only thing that is picked up is the count next time. No special report to my knowlege. As far as when regular dubz die, no reports are made. Only publisher numbers. The cong keeps a card on stats and it may get noted there when someone dies....that is all.
