  Lack of take up of Advance Directive forms

  by billyboy in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  as some of you know, i am an elder in a southern england congregation.

  the britain branch ( policy letter dec 8th 2007) stopped all hlc brothers giving talks at other congregations and as a result the take-up of the advance directive form (ad) has dropped dramatically.

  jws are presenting themselves at hospitals without the form and nhs staff are phoning the hlc to ask that an elder visits to help them compose it while in hospital.. the uk branch is asking hlc members to meet up with bodies of elders so that we can "educate the brothers" (their expression) - we had our meeting a few weeks ago with a couple of the hlc brothers.

  i've been invited to a special talk as part of a zone visit by a (yet to be named) gb member in may at bowes road , london.

  apparently it is being simultaneously piped to quite a few assembly halls across the uk so that many more jws can "enjoy the privilege"..

  District Convention speaker recommendations 2011

  by billyboy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every year the wtbts asks a few select top elders / cos to "rate" the brothers in their circuit to see if they qualify to give talks on district conventions.

  it would seem that the society are concerned that some brothers are being a bit faddy in shaving their heads.

  at times i will greet a brother or a sister at the kingdom hall and i will ask them how they are.. they look at me with tired eyes and say, i'm h.e.r.e.this poem is for all of us who are glad that you are h.e.r.e.. .

  the kids were cranky, your husband was late.

  the dinner you had ready just had to wait.

  ok i know many of you will think i am strange but i tie in to the meeting on tuesday night just for the announcements five minutes ok i might have to listen to just a tad bit of the song it truly is horrible.. ok so just like 10 minutes ago they announced that the elders can go to the po or cobe after the meeting to get their new elders book.

  i was like seriously they just announced it.

  i was laughing so hard as it has been out on the internet for at least two weeks now and the elders in my hall are now just getting it.
