a few months ago someone posted that the position of bether elder was to be removed.. i don't know how many bethel elders there were, but there must have been quite a few?.
are they just regular bethelites?
how would those under them feel, now that they're "one of us"?.
I am wondering if the government is not stepping into this as they are a corporation and making them possibly pay minimum wages in the future. Elders would then be viewed as managers in the corporation and be eligible for more money than the rank and file.
I realize that they are a religion but little by little they are facing exposure on their financial dealings.
I think that they should pay back wages to everyone and/or their family who ever worked there including those who either left or were expelled. Lets not forget overtime for the longer days where they have to work over eight hours.
It is always about money with those guys.

a few weeks ago i posted that a very good friend of mine from childhood was diagnoised with terminal colon cancer.. we were very close growing up in the dubdum, and we were in each others wedding party.
our kids reffered to each of us as uncle and his kids look towards my parents as their grandparents.. we drifted apart after i left the lie, but we managed to stay in touch infrequently even if only to keep updated on the kids or other family members.. fortunately for me, i was able to spent a lot of time with him while he was in the hospital and hospice, and we reconnected as friends almost like the old days.
on may 19th, although it was the day before my family vacation and i had a lot of running around to do, me and my wife went to see him.
I am very sorry as well.
I think that stories like this will do as much good as bringing out the societies lies and conspiracies to get the people to think about what they are not doing to protect their families because the best that they will get from dubdom is a plate of cupcakes and a few sandwiches.
I am glad that you got to spend some time with him.

my husband has a sister (lori) pioneer and her hubby (mike) elder who have never had any respect for my husband or myself.
even when we were going to meetings they overstepped their parameters constantly.
demanding personal information and not honoring a simple request to not 'drop in' whenever they get a whim.
Blondie,
Dad signed it over to 3 of the 4 siblings about 7 years ago. He got mad at the step daughter about 46 years ago and never forgave her! This is a very stubborn, harsh family.
But, in reference to your question no, dad does not own this place.

I am beginning to think along that vein. But my husband is totally opposed to saying or doing anything against his family even though they are overstepping. Uugghh.
BTW ... I absolutely adore pit bulls!!! They are some of the smartest dogs I have ever met.
Yours are adorable. Give them pats and hugs from me!

The last part has gotten worse since we moved to the family homestead which is owned by both kids and both step kids... my fil is still living and is now 91. It has been agreed for many years that when dad dies we will step up and buy the home immediately even if it means selling our apartment house. We can not buy while he is alive as he does not like the step daughter and refuses to see her get a penny. Thus the agreement by all parties to wait til he is gone and then it gets split equally.
Perhaps the fact that they own a part explains their sudden attitude of absolute empowerment. We have even had an arguement with them over this a couple of years ago of course it changed nothing. Mike feels he is an elder and thus does not have to honor such small requests but this past week end is the worst ever.
Yesterday my husband and I put on a b b q for some of the clients at his agency who had nothing to look forward to for the whole week end. While we were all sitting and eating Mike and Lori come storming in and announce that they heard from dad that we were not going to be home at all that afternoon! Hhhhmmm, so what is the purpose of their coming here then? Looking for apostate literature?? Did the elders send them? Going through personal property???? The home locks but the garage/barn does not and they know the trick of getting in the house from when grandma and grandpa were living here.
I have been just seething !
It is hard to sit here and keep a civil tonue in my head.

i know this might sound abit "paranoid" but as i mentioned on other posts before i am a "heavy" person who is losing weight.
so far i have lost 65 pounds and i am still losing through a "strict"diet and exercise.
i was at a restaurant the other day and there were 4 "thin" people sitting at a table across from a "very heavy overweight" man.
I know exactly what I would have done without a moments hesitation.
I'd have gotten up and gone to find the manager/owner and reported the problem. That man should not have had to go through that. See why I live in the woods? People are so darned hurtful. ugghh

ok i don't bother much about celebrities and all this craziness about couples getting together and breaking up is more than likely media blown out of proportion but..... tom cruise and katie holmes .... something here really doesn't feel right to me.. we have older man vs young woman.
clearly a man who has no problem making a spectacle of himself - jumping on the furniture on international tv - she seemed rather shy and subdued.
a man who has no problem voicing his religious beliefs as if he and he alone has the ultimate truth of matters - she not so experienced so follows his beliefs (according to the media).
Have you ever noticed the body language?
At first glance they always appear to appear to be standing side by side by look carefully.
He is always standing just in front of her. In the beginning she used to look up at him lovingly and now she is more apt to keep her eyes lowered.
Also, he always, always has his hands firmly on her body somewhere in a very possessive, controlling way. Even when he holds her hand it just doesn't feel right to me.
submission, subjection and servitude are written all over her.
This is probably just a lie but I heard that just before the baby was born he tried to get her to sign over the childs' custody to him and him alone. hhmmm.
I was surprised that grammy and grandpa were not notified sooner but this is just my own little peeve.
My two cents.

ok i'm not at all surprised to not be invited to my sisters engagement party as she is a jw and i'm df.
i was telling my girlfriend about it and she was shocked that as a family member i wouldn't be involved.
she already knows that as far as a wedding goes i'll probably be invited to the ceremony but not reception and that i'll be shunned at the kingdom hall, but i think the fact that the engagement is at my parents place she was so surprised that someone is so cut off from family things when in an unapproved status as per the wts.. like most people who have never been a witness, they don't realise how mental the whole thing is until they witness it.
Put on your own party and have your friend join you. Make it as fancy as you want and have some catering!!!
It will be a million times better than than the one that those old stuffed crows are having!
(((((((((hugs to you))))))))))))
