Letter to BOE: Adjustment in process for appointing elders and ministerial servants

by pixel in

hello, you read it here first!.

governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

to all congregations.

Spectre

I didn't read all 7 pages so this might have been already said, but:

If they are doing this for liability reasons after this goes into affect, they will cancel having elders call up HQ legal in the event of any criminal wrongdoing.

They might also have all congregations become a sort of franchise. Related in name only.

they announced last week that the new atanta assembly hall has thus far raised 3.4 million dollars.

my local told that will become the society's come may 1. i wonder how that will go over with the ones who have been contributing to this fund..

I bet CO's won't be so quick to recommend remodels or new halls anymore. But of course if you give more....*dangles carrot*

I just finished up a psychology class about behavior. This is doomed to fail. People will catch on fast that their donations that used to have a tangible benefit to them will no longer. They will still donate because that gives them a good feeling but they won't be giving as much. Now, maybe if the higher ups in the org had any sort of that "worldly education", they might have known that.

Mom is coming over tomorrow. What should I ask?

by Faithful Witness in

my mother is visiting us again tomorrow, only 5 weeks since her last visit.

things seem to be going pretty well with her, and the kids are enjoying having grandma back in our routine.

she is retiring at the end of may (age 65), so she promises that this is going to mean more time with family.

@nonjwspouse- That was my first inclination but I wasn't sure.

Are we all actually "bad / evil / immoral" after leaving the faith?

by stuckinarut2 in

jw
friends

so recently there have been several posts with references to talks and articles that imply the following:.

most of those who learn ttatt or fade from the "truth", are actually practicers of bad things, eg immorality, hence that is why 'we' now find fault with the org?.

i find this so offensive that they imply such.

When you aren't constantly bashed with being told what a sinner you are, you really don't think about it. I really don't consider myself a sinner at all.

I can't remember who said it but there was a big wig that said something like, "If we(wtbts) ever have to ask for money it shows that we don't have gods approval and we should just pack it in."

If you were to dig that up and use that in your comment of why you're not going to the Baptist church...
