How can the WT in good conscience print encouragement to the rank and file to treat the elderly with respect and human kindness if they do that and yet they have done it whenever the situation presents itself.

The Governing Body's Cruel Treatment of the Elderly
by frankiespeakin inwhat happens to a person that has given a major portion of the thier life in decades of full time service at bethel or as a circut or district overseer and they get caught not beleiveing the teachings of the wt?.
will the governing body live up to its moral obligation to take care of them in their old age?
after all these people have claimed a vow of poverty, and have put very little money aside for retirement because they served the organization full time and had no money to put aside.

JillBedford 'First in Class' in Leukemia Marathon
by Honesty injill finished first in her class at the leukemia and lymphoma 19 mile marathon yesterday.
refusal of blood transfusions by parents is the major causes of death among juvenile jw leukemia patients.
she deserves more than an award for helping raise awareness about leukemia and proven treatments among jw's and non-jw alike.. .

i'm not aware who jill bedford is or what her story is but WOW what an accomplishment!
She posts here and promotes awareness of Leukemia. Also she and I were in the same congregation about 16 years ago when we were loyal to the publishing company.

Whip them hard, make them cry WT 05/01/05
by hamsterbait inaccording to the "new light " on sheep and goats, nobody is judged as unworthy of a resurrection if he dies before christ sits down on his glorious throne.
the judging is done in situ not in retrospect.
yet the wt 05/01/05 p. 22 says to jws:.

The Social Structure in the Congregation
by Mary inever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?
to say that jesus said his followers should all be on equal footing, it's incredible how much the r&f witness is not on equal footing.
the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:

Beautiful ! It may just get some of them thinking about Christ instead of the FDS and its load of lies and deceptions.

This is something that a Witness should NEVER do !!!!!!!!!!
by JH ini spent the week-end putting this together.
what a waste of time !!!
imagine telling an elder that you didn't go out in the field service on saturday morning because you wanted to finish your puzzle..... poor elder would die of a heart attack.

But that is what they all should do -all witnesses would benefit from taking a weekend off - chilling out and doing something like a hobby once in while - I truly believe they would benefit and be less uptight
I bet JH is walking better today after all the stress relief therapy his puzzle provided over the weekend.
A demonstartion at the KH is in order:
JH walking like a person
Typical pioneer elder walking like he has been penetrated by a corncob, if ya know whut I mean.

Do you ever DEFEND Witnesses?
by GetBusyLiving ini know i come on here a lot and laugh at the crazy stuff i used to believe.. it's a terrific place to vent my frustration at the org.
and share experiences with people who understand.
but i find that when some people trash talk witnesses who were never part of it i end up sort of defending them usually.

i defend the R&F but not the WTS
I'll even defend an elder or MS who is rational and reasonable. The Governing Body can go straight back to the depths of Hell where they came from. -

Branch Split in the Watchtower Kingdom
by slimboyfat inbefore you read anything, you should be aware that i do not know what i am talking about.
it seems clear now that the watchtower religion has already started to decline, in the western world at least.
how will this decline play out in the future - this is one of the most interesting questions relating to the watchtower at the moment: will the witnesses enjoy a slow leisurely decline over many decades, or can we expect a major split and disintegration in the near future?

Since DF'd, DA'd, Faders and outright apostates outnumber the dubs, let's vote in a new Governing Body.
I nominate Valis, IP_SEC, minimus, FBF and Alan F as the Governing Body effective as soon as all can 'love bomb' Bethel.
Does anyone either amend or second the nomination, speak now or later or not at all.
