Secret elders meeting in the end of 2010

by Lore in

jw
friends

all the elders in my circuit are driving across the state for a big elders meeting.

and the ministerial servants have to do it on sunday.

evidentally they were all told to study certain parts of their new book before going.. .

"We are providing the textbooks to elders in advance so that you will be able to read the book through before attending the school. You will want to concentrate particularly 0n chapters 1,2, 4-7,9, and 11, since they will be considered specifically at the school. In addition to your Shepherding textbook, please remember to bring your Bible, Organized to Do Jehovah's Will, Benefit From Theocratic Ministry School Education, and some note paper. In the Organized book, you should review chapters 3 and 7. along with pages 117- 119. In the Ministry School book, you should review pages 47-55, 130, and 265-271. Please advise ministerial servants that in addition to their Bible and note paper, they should bring theIr Organized and Ministry School books. They should review the same material in the Ministry School book as the elders, and in the Organized book, they should review chapters 6-8, along with pages 117-119.

You will note in chapter 5, paragraph 9, of the Shepherding textbook that a change in terminology is being introduced. A new term, "brazen conduct," will be used in addition 10 " loose conduct." or in some cases instead of "loose conduct." This new term has been chosen by the Governing Body because it more accurately conveys the thought of the original Greek word that is translated "loose conduct" in the New World Translation."

Soliloquy

by behemot in

jw
friends

in recent years the assemblies started to feature a new kind of demonstration on stage: the soliloquy, where inner thoughts and reasonings of the character are uttered aloud for the benefit of the audience.

usually the plot is something like this:.

1. the character (a brother, a sister, a youngster) starts with indulging in a selfish/materialistic/unspiritual thought/plan.

fokyc

How do you feel about soliloquies at the assemblies?

Yuk!!!

They never ring true, all made up material, in other words, another load of lies!

How do JW's justify lying to people they call on?

by highdose in

you may remember my recent experiance with two jw's at my door.

they lied non stop to me and even when i pointed out their lies they still did not tell the truth.. do they really think that they will win people into their cult by lying to them?

don't they think about what will happen when the person finds out they have been lying to them?.
