marcus...i dont think you are the site you want to be...most people posting here are ex witnesses and they are ex because of all the things you are asking..you should go to the official jw site which i think is www.watchtower.org

there's nothing I can add that hasn't already been said! so...HERE'S TO ALL OF THE ABOVE
frog ...i was going to say that....so now im just going to add something so there..... how many bible examples can you think of where a repentant wrongdoer was placed on restrictions..the prodigal son is a parable so lets stick to real life examples...moses sinned striking the rock- didnt stop leading the israelites...david- never had to relinquish the kingship..peter-not removed as an apostle gets greater priveleges in a month...paul and barnabus fisticuffs in the kh- still stay as missionaries being accepted as being repentant and being allowed to continue in a situation where all can observe that without being subjected to further public humiliation affords a repentant and contrite wrongdoer a certain dignity and this can aid to recovery..spiritually and in every other respect..being denied this only ever leads to bigger problems and the enforcing of it at congregation level and the blatant disregarding of it at headquarters only serves to show it up for the mockery it is david after sinning and being spoken to strongly by nathan and then the baby dying as a punishment asked j. if he could be used to help others not to make the same mistakes he had made and j. allowed that....had they done the same with me after what i had done i would have recommended to all that they learn from my mistakes and never have to suffer what i did...because they didnt i would recommend to anyone listening that if ever you find yourself in a similar position to mine..what ever you do dont try to do the right thing..just go and never look back

jw belief is that only 144000 go to heaven... they get immortality not eternal life...they are the ones that partake of the bread and wine..all the other millions of jws get eternal life..but they are going to live forever on the earth

New Light on Higher Education
by seeitallclearlynow inmy son made a point to tell me that they had what was to him a very interesting, different talk on the service meeting this week.
the presiding overseer gave a talk on the society's changed view of getting a college education.. he used the scripture which admonishes the reader to "acquire a heart of wisdom" and applied it to getting a 4 year college education for the sake of being able to support oneself at double the rate of pay with one's degree upon graduation.
this of course is only for the purpose of being able to then pioneer, only having to work a few days a week, thereby having the time for the field ministry.. such an annoying change - finally!

Insider info given to me by a very loyal, long time brother
by seeitallclearlynow inas mentioned in the topic title, a very active, very positive, "faithful" brother talked to me out of the blue at work last week.
it was a highly unusual opportunity - i happened to be in a secluded area, captive to my task, and i saw him passing so said hello.. he's a wonderful person with a well-known, fantastic sense of humor, known all over the circuit and district.
former pioneer, elder, fill-in c.o.

nothing specific is being said but i have discussed this with someone who posts here and who has friends in brooklyn inc very close to gb who say the gb know the elder arrangement just isnt working esp judicially but dont know what to do about...going back to the rotation is likely to put even more noses out of joint now than it did in the 70s....good
