  One of my chief arguments when I turned in my elder resignation was that I did not know
  the Governing Body, I knew nothing of how they work, I really didn't even know their names.
  I could no longer promote their doctrines without a better understanding of that.

  The elders would think about me now. "If only Bro. OTWO waited until this grand privilege
  came about. He could learn the things he was having trouble with. Well, at least we will
  know those things now. OTWO may have been right. Jehovah saw this need on the part
  of elders and is addressing it. I am certain that we will get a better understanding of the
  Governing Body and it's operations. Isn't this organization marvelous?"

  Something similar here. I also complained about the lack of elder training. Of course I meant professional training, but I can see my old colleagues thinking how I should have waited for the new light.

  dear all (especially those in the uk),.

  following on from danny's excellent post here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/16/128626/1.ashx i have just sent an e-mail to the charities commission.

  some time ago i wrote to you about the dangers of jehovah's witnesses and how they don't deserve charity status because far from helping mankind they are a real danger to it.

  I also received that response. I will say this, I'd fly to London and testify if I felt that it could help stop giving them more channels to get money. Isaac

  i have been sworn to secrecy on a couple of matters that will soon be evident in this regard.

  sorry to be 'cryptic' here - but timing is everything when one is trying to bring the very serious [and often ignored in the press] matter of child sexual abuse to the fore.

  with barbara anderson's permission, i reproduce part of pages 66 to 68 here for discussion..

  "Stay awake, stand firm, grow mighty"

  Oh gosh! Now I won't lose that song for days!

  That yeartext reminds me of me a few decades back that went something like "Stand Still and see the salvation of Jehovah." The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  I agree that it does sound strange. They just had a KM school. Generally they are held every four or five years.

  You can also point out to the old man that on the WT's Bible recordings they probably read it without any hint of brackets.

  A former assembly Hall overseer

  by parlay in

  2. friends

  had the nerve to counsel teddy j of the gb about the unkind way things were communicated.

  to the assembly hall staff, citing the counsel the service department wasn't following it's own advice .

  they give to elders about treating the friends with kindness and respect.

  So is that what happened to Ricketts? I worked NY Metro area AHs for many years. I can vouch for the fact that Jaracz was involved with them though I can't confirm or deny the Ricketts story. Ernest was well liked by many in NJ and in the AH community, including the people who worked for him. Isaac
