How is the transfer from a congregation handled by the elders?

by trevorbv in

if any of you were elders how is the transfer from a congregation handled?

how do elders know where to send the proclaimer's file and letter of recommendation?

does it go through the local branch if in the same country?

Can the process be hijacked?

Are you trying to see if you can 'intercept' the process and take possession of your records and publisher record card?

If so, someone here may be able to help you.

DA Letter Script - Minimum Requirements?

by alias in

if i am to write and send the minimal of a da letter, stating that i do not consider myself a jw (baptized as a minor), what do i need to include in the letter to make it valid?

1. who should the letter be addressed to?

(do i need to send duplicates: one to local cong, one to headquarters?).

AudeSapere

If you submit yourself to *any* of their 'requirements' then you are, well, still under their control.

If you choose to write something, here is one of the most simple DA Letters you can do:

Tack a note to the KH door that says: "Dear Watchtower Society - You're Fired! Sincerely, Alias"

This idea taken from this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/115099/1/I-fired-the-Watchtower-Society

Congrats on your decision to leave. Myself, I am not DF'd and did not DA. Merely up and walked out of the Hall in the middle of a talk one day.

Check the link my post AFTER the one about Farkel's article. It references a Watchtower from the 1940's and the photo looks to be the same size.

Could the photo be from The Watchtower November 1, 1924 ??

That could be implied from this article: http://www.watchthetower.net/booze.html

I think your BEST bet would be to ask Farkle.

Here is link to a a re-posting Leolaia made of a comprehensive article Farkle wrote about Rutherford. The above photo is included in the post:

I've seen that photo of Rutherford a few times. Unsure of the source.

How many elders, HLC members know CPR?

by just n from bethel in

anyone who has ever taken a first aid class knows that cpr training and first aid training are basic life saving requirements for anyone in the professional medical community.

if you were ever discussing any medical choices with someone who wanted to advise you on a medical / health decision, you would want to be comfortable that if something were to happen to you all the sudden, that this person you were seeking advice from could provide basic medical aid, like cpr.

if it's a nurse or a doctor or a paramedic, you would expect that they would know what to do.

Qualified and certificated to administer emergency treatment for accidents or illness but not considered capable of passing a microphone!!!

Isn't that just soo crazy?

I ran a million dollar private health practice. Professionals called and respected my advise and suggestions. But I was not qualified to assist behind the literature counter (except for in my teens when my dad wanted help with inventory at midnight after a Thursday night meeting).

I worked in radio as a producer and board engineer but was not qualified to touch the sound board at the Hall.
