Elders do not reveal confidential matters to their family members (See paragraph 11)
11 In the congregation. Elders who are known to keep a confidence are “a hiding place from the wind, a place of concealment” for their brothers. (Isa. 32:2) We know that we can talk freely to these men, certain that what we say to them will be kept confidential. We do not pressure them to tell us things that they should keep private. In addition, we appreciate our elders’ wives because they do not try to pry information out of their husbands. Really, it is a blessing that an elder’s wife is not told personal information about her brothers and sisters. One elder’s wife commented: “I am grateful that my husband keeps information confidential regarding those he meets on shepherding calls or those needing spiritual assistance, not even telling me their names. I appreciate not being burdened with issues I can do nothing about. I am able to interact naturally with all in the congregation. And I can trust that when I confide in my husband about my personal feelings or problems, these too will remain confidential.” Of course, we all want to have the reputation of being trustworthy. What qualities will help us to achieve that goal? Let us consider five of them.
In my old congregation, elder wives were the biggest snitches, big mouths, self-righteous and the most judgmental of all the members. There was a lot of dirt that was thrown around by elder's wives.
Elders were known to tell their wives all the congregation confidential information... how teenager Johnny and teenager Jane were disfellowshipped. We knew Johnny was disfellowshipped because the elders followed him around and watched him come out of a hotel with his ''worldly'' girlfriend. We also found out Jane was having sexual relations with her boyfriend.
Don't believe for a minute one elder's wife said this:
“I am grateful that my husband keeps information confidential regarding those he meets on shepherding calls or those needing spiritual assistance, not even telling me their names. I appreciate not being burdened with issues I can do nothing about. I am able to interact naturally with all in the congregation. And I can trust that when I confide in my husband about my personal feelings or problems, these too will remain confidential.”

Anybody who caved in to the religion’s requests is suffering financially today in their old age and the people who pushed poverty not even around to Help them!…So, What did the religion accomplish?? They have congregations filled with all sorts of needy people who I am Glad to be nowhere near.
I was told by brother who is an Elder that our District Overseer Mario Beltrami was made to retire when he turned 70 years old. He lives in Florida with his wife in a small apartment.
How does he survive without any savings, pension, social security or any liquid assets? Is the Watchtower Society helping him and his wife financially in their senior years?
My brother and other Elders in his congregation send him and his wife money every month so he can pay his bills. While he served the Society for many, many years, he was kicked to the curb and only by the generosity of the Elders is he able to survive.

“that ominous looking cylindrical metal thing “
I have zoomed in on this ominous illustration drawn by the Watchtower Art Department. To all of the members reading this article and looking at this illustration means nothing, but the Watchtower Art Department ( who for some strange reason drew this out- of -place object ), are either having a great laugh or as Anna Marina wrote:
perhaps its a subliminal message telling you they are really Knight's Templars.

the millenium will be a 2 + class system, with printed, or hand copied hardcopy for the masses, but plasma screens for the elite
The instructor is using a tablet because he is familiar with Microsoft operating systems. The two woman and the man in red shirt probably know how to read, but cannot figure out how to use a tablet. The African man is holding a Bible... in what language? Noah's descendant is holding a Bible in what language...and how does he know how to read ( while he must of been recently resurrected in his tomb clothes)?

20 What an exciting time the Thousand Year Reign will be! It will include the greatest educational program ever undertaken here on earth. But it will also be a time when the conduct of both the righteous and the unrighteous will be evaluated. (Isa. 26:9; Acts 17:31) How will this educational program be carried out? Our next article will help us to understand and appreciate this wonderful provision.
A new Watchtower article has a picture of newly resurrected brothers who will need to enroll in an educational program in the Thousand Year Reign. The two females and male in this class must of survived Armageddon and entered with the same clothes.
How did the African brother get resurrected with clothes he wore while in his tomb? How did someone in Noah's day or even before come out of his tomb with pressed cloths that have no wrinkles or tears? Why are they even wearing old clothes? Won't there a clothing store in the New System to give these two resurrected brothers new slacks and shirts so they don't stand out?

I think we need to be more critical of these undercover exposes - they sound invented and I think believing and spreading them makes us easy targets for people who want to troll or build up a name for themselves as some leaker when they are anything but.
I agree with Simon. There are too many holes in this special message :
''God, Jesus and the holy spirit''...Why is he using the word ''God'' instead of ''Jehovah''?
''And to any Watchtower spies on this sub: You are trapped in a high control group and an abusive, captive organization, guilty of human rights violations on an unprecedented scale.'' Why isn't he using ''we'' instead of ''you''?
''This has led to all sorts of issues at Bethel such as drugs infiltrating the facilities, alcoholism, broken marital relationships and unfortunately even cases of domestic abuse between married couples, just to name a few.'' I have a hard believing the domestic abuse part. I know it happens in many Jehovah's Witnesses homes, but inside the Watchtower Headquarters? Domestic abuse ( where many members live inside a controlled setting ) is too difficult to hide!

My nephew called me Sunday night to tell me that his nine year old son was giving his first talk. He gave me the Zoom i.d.. and password for his Congregations in-person Tuesday night meeting.
I haven't been to any meetings in nine years. Many things have changed. The comments were typical Watchtower ''Parroted'' answers. The boredom almost killed me.
I get on Zoom five minutes before the meeting starts. There are 74 people on the Zoom meeting. Ten members are on a live screen, and the rest have their video turned off. A new song ( awful ) is sung, and the usual '' bless the Governing Body'' prayer is given.
An Elder gives a talk about King David and the book of Samuel. ( The Governing Body love King David with all his faults and imperfections, but have no problem throwing everyone else out of the Congregation for minor infractions)
Next, my nephew's nine year old son walks to the stage. ( WHY IS HE EVEN ON STAGE? Why did his dad and the Elders find it necessary for a nine year old to get up in front of an audience and read Bible passages? )
He reads from a tablet ( instead of a Bible ) and looses his place many times. He puts his finger on the tablet so he won't get lost. The Bible reading is over in less than 3 minutes. The Elder thanks him for his fine talk and looking forward for more fine talks to come.
The Elder critiqued his talk on how well he read. He did a great job on his Bible reading. A nine year old should of never been up on stage in the first place!

Some Jw's are the worst employees
by Foolednomore ini found a company and employed an elder as an underwriter and two ms as sales and marketing.
anyway, this elder will delegate his work to the ms in sales and marketing, so he can go home early.
he knew when he got started that this would be a 10 hour a day job with some saturday.

Our congregation had a former Bethelite who worked at the New York headquarters as a heating and air-conditioning worker. He joined our congregation and quickly got married.
He opened up his own heating and air-conditioning company. Little by little, he had plenty of work from our congregation. He was caught many times using old parts and billed them as new parts. My father and uncle called him on the used parts. He denied that they were old, used parts. We called a friend of ours who also was in the trade. The parts he was installing were used parts from other jobs. No one trusted this ''former Bethelite'' any longer. The only thing that saved his ass was that his father-in-law was an Elder.
