Forthcoming Kingdom Ministry School schedule and references

by cedars in

i'm taking a break from jwn at the moment, but i thought i'd briefly jump back on to post some information that has been sent to me.. many of you will be aware that the governing body has somewhat hastily arranged another "kingdom ministry" school for the elders, and there has already been a degree of speculation on the forum as to what matters will be addressed at this meeting.. a friend has very kindly sent me the text of a letter to bodies of elders in britain which includes the meeting schedule as well as the reference material that elders are asked to bring along and "meditate" on beforehand.. here is the letter:.

to all bodies of elders .

Jwfacts-- More Lies But This Time About The Great Crowd

by Recovery in

jwfacts has an article that explains why the great crowd must be in heaven.

i am also aware that many of these are the same arguments that stemmed from the 'awakenings at bethel' so my statements are not simply attacks of jwfact's character (since these arguments are probably not original) but rather his copy and paste of what others have said instead of verifying it as 'fact' for himself.. so here are jwfacts arguments:.

1. he shows that russell and rutherford (at some point) believed that the great crowd were in heaven.. 2. each term that describes the great crowd of revelation 7 is else used to described the anointed by the wt.

I was wrong. I think Recovery is a very clever and shrewd apostate. Look at how he is bringing out the rational thought process that is necessary to come out of the JW culture. My hat's off to you Recovery!!

CO Visit this week....

by MaybeSo in

so, we are meeting our new co this week... i wonder if he'll be as glory hungry as the last one and the one before him and the one... well you can get the idea.

too bad we didn't volunteer to feed him .

that makes me wonder...why do they receive so much glory and attention as if they were some type of celebrity?

watson

Don't be so hard on the CO's. You have to realize that they use the "trickle down" form of encouragement. There is only enough time to encourage and shake hands with the first in line. Elders and families, lunch hosts, pioneers, etc. Soooo, if you want to really benefit from his presence, you need to make sure you are on the lunch list, or arrange to be in his car group. That way, you can let his encouragement trickle down thru you to the lesser ones.

i am writing this because i am so upset about the bickering and fighting that is going on about oompa.

this was an amazing wonderful, peaceful, giving man who never met a strager who is now deceased and you are taking his name and running all over the place with it using it for your own agendas.

he is not a statistic.

It looks like we are all victims of suicide.
