Bethel Elder (obsolete)
I kid you not, when I was a Bethelite in the mid 70's, I remember two brothers discussing who had more power in the Organization: A Bethel Elder or a Circuit Overseer?

Connect..........the..........dots! Yeah right, Lots daughters are getting ready to connect with something.
I am trying to wrap my head around this. Jehovah destroys Sodom because of the sexual immorality of the inhabitants. His wife looks back, perhaps because she misses her home and other relatives and she is destroyed. Yet his daughters get their father drunk, he willingly gets drunk and then they both have incestuous sexual intercourse with him. If I was a child, I might draw this conclusion: 'If you are immoral and don't worship Jehovah, you will be destroyed. If you are immoral and worship Jehovah, there will be no consequences.' Connect the dots, children.

Jackson's rose colored watch only cost $399, don't use it as an argument.
by Bad_Wolf ini looked up that watch and see it for $399.

I am a member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors and have been for over 30 years. I have been collecting wristwatches longer than this. It is irresponsible to judge the value of a watch merely from pictures. One must hold the watch in their hands to determine the gold karat content or lack thereof and/ or to determine the metal composition of the case. The movement must be inspected also in order to determine whether or not it is genuine or a counterfeit. High resolution pictures could suffice to identify the watch but even pictures can be doctored.
That being said, I agree that whether this is a $399.00 watch or a $17,000.00 watch, it shows poor empathy and hypocrisy on the part of the Governing Body (tm) members to coerce Sophia out of her ice cream money while wearing such a watch, even if the watch was a gift from an admiring wanna be Elder or groupie.

WILL THIS BE NEXT?:
Die you ungrateful little ba$tard. You should have gotten baptized at 8 years old like your parents wanted you to and then you would have had Jehovah's protection. Too late now...............you're all mine!

"That's all folks," exclaimed Brother Sanderson as he boarded an airplane back to the comfort and safety of the United States of America. "It's really been great to be with you Russian brothers and appear before the Russian Judicial system. I wish that I could have done more, but I am under time constraint, being a member of the Governing Body (tm) and all. Keep warm and well fed. Look for my next encouraging diatribe on JW.org.tv as I attack Satan's system from the comfort and security of the Warwick Compound. What a wonderful shout of praise this has been to Jehovah's name!"

There's nothing like a human being subjected to a slow, torturous, uncomfortable death to prove to a child that Jehovah is a loving and merciful god that deserves our worshipful love and adoration!

Counting Field Service Time
by Sour Grapes insomething that always drove me crazy was when the jw's would say after the meeting on sunday, "i have to go out this afternoon to get my time in.
" in the car group after service someone would always ask, "so how much time did we get?".
it the watchtower company said that turning in time is no longer required because jehovah knows what we are doing to serve him, there would be a tremendous drop in the door to door activity and the coffee cart work.

"It's me, Jesus. I know you're in there. Please answer the door. I just need a few moments of your time so that I can record one more return visit and round up to my ten hours for the month on my field service report. Come on...........help me out here. The Elders are on my back about this and have been threatening to take away my privileges."

2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure
by pale.emperor inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.
no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

Your story rings true with me, Hairtrigger! Back in the '70's when I was a Pioneer, the hours goal was set at 100 hours per month. Every month, I would barely claim about 90 hours and sometimes actually make the 100 hours. My Pioneer partner, on the other hand, consistently reported anywhere from 105-115 hours. Today, he is a well respected Elder and I am 'persona non gratia' and have no association with the religion.
It's all bull$hit!
