  the recent thread about the upcoming qfr on the anointed, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/130668/1.ashx.

  discusses the possibilities on what the borg are up to.

  okay, whatever, but i want to use the information to my advantage.

  Yeah, I think that there needs to be lots of questions on the GB and why they have a "special" place in the "channel" os spirit over the rest of the "annointed".
  If they are the same and no better that appointed elders [who appointed them anyway?] then what the hell is eveyone one doing listening to them. Maybe I have the new light! Just havent released it yet!
  In reality, there is as much spirit on the GB as there is on any body of elders. The majority vote wins.....every time.
  It is a consensus thing. That is all.

  depends on your perspective. Dreams of loved ones can mean in some circles that the deceased loved on is checking in on you from their new abode. Maybe they were both helping you via your dreams to move on and you were helping them to move on by being ok with their new situation and that you were coming to terms with your new situation.
  It is easy to still look at life/death through with some tainting from former beliefs? And there are other points of view.
  What wonderful dreams!

  I like Undecided's comment: I was a BS conductor.
  Me too!!! Bull S...... conductor.
  Miss Crumpet wouldv'e loved my BS's. I finished 30-40 minutes every week. No point getting frustrated at people who didnt perpare or who didnt know what day it was. Get on and get it finished.....and people loved it.

  URGENT - UK Elders (or elders wives)

  by S EIGHT in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am in urgent need of a copy of a letter sent to uk elders in regard to weddings held at the kh and specific comments about the responsibilities of the brother giving the wedding talk.

  i'm told this is a fairly recent letter.. we have an elder kicking up hell about innactive ones who want to come and watch the wedding.

  he happens to be the one giving the talk and is acting like he has full control on this wedding.

  Vitty,
  I get the feeling that it is changing. The inactive could also be one of those dreaded apostates and could influence the flock!

  building commitee

  is anyone familiar with the building commitee?

  it appears that alot of hanky panky is going on here.

  for instance, i know for a fact that some contractors have arrangements to be paid.

  We did a Qb hall. We had one paid contractor who helped us with the ground plumbing. His wife at the time was studying. We didnt have any locals who could do the work and this guy kept his rate low.
  The RBC did charge a fee for their services.
  Later we had one of them move into our local cong. He was always moving receipts through the congregation account. He would get re-immbursed and the cong the claimed it back from the society somehow. [perhaps others know who and why?]
  I saw some of the receipts he was claiming. Some for his dry cleaning and other things that most would just wear the cost themselves. It all seemed a bit suspect!

  While showing all due respect for his "authority" cant you ask to see the instruction to be certain? It sounds like he is overstepping things by making himself in charge of the reception. I formulated and outline from WT articles and BOE letters, that they probably still use locally, that specifically put the full responsiblilty on the Groom.
  I would be wanting to see the letter.

  Welcome.........
  You say you have been out for two years? I liked Junction-Guys reminder, that you have left an organization, not necessarily God. Find some ex-jw friends. Maybe you even know others who have left before you. At the time, you view their leaving in the JW context. Who knows wht they really left. Maybe they had their eyes opended and are in a position to be able to assist you?
  Hang in there............

  I dont have any specifics, but would say that the comment has been made as a general directive.
  When I used to take the WT, it would get quite frustrating when no one would answer a simple question, or someone would answer the wrong thing for an obvious question. I said once "its not that hard, do I have to answer it myself!"
  What an A-hole! [me that is]
  You think that you are helping people to reason and grow. But you are only helping to dumb them down. Then the GB started setting questions to the articles in the KM's......that was really dumbing down the flock. I said to my brother, and I was still an elder: "They must think that we are stupid and cant work out what the main points are!"
  He thought i was being disrespectful.
  Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhh
