by yknot in(( hardcopy link of boe ltr pdf : http://www.sendspace.com/file/1gncdo ))... in my best 'theocratic' voice trying to mimic a service meeting conductor (giggles) ..."if you have acrobat you can insert this behind the other boes in the ks10 pdf, or if not consider downloading and keeping it in the same file as your ks10 for future need to know..... i chose to 'highlight' what i thought might be of interest to the forum in the below transcript but of course it is not limited!.
to all bodies of elders.

"(The last record card of an inactive
publisher should be retained indefinitely by the congregation where the publisher moved.)"J ust WHO do I believe? In my congregation the Elders have destroyed record cards of inactive publishers; they say they have been instructed to do so by the branch office in the UK.
This was obvious recently, when the CO announced there were ONLY two inactive publishers in the cong.; I know of at least six!!
Perhaps there is another letter in the post concerning this?
PS Many thanks to YKnot for this valuable information.

Welcome to the forum ELPIRO; 'Oh Happy One', it is nice to see a happy JW but unusual!
I think 'Pontoon' has hit the nail on the head so to speak;
there was a strange change in ElPiro's style between the last two posts.
I think he/she/it is making a joke of you all!

The Great Day Of Jehovah is Near!!
by wannabe in{revelation 16:15}.
{matthew 24:7}.
the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will tell us that matthew 24:7 was fulfilled in the year 1914, but such could never be true.

Watchtower April 15th 2011 has some interesting points on the FDS.
Such as:
page 4,
"Jesus Christ is the assigned Leader of the congregation. (Matt. 23:10; Eph. 5:23) He has delegated some authority to a faithful slave class, made up of faithful spirit-anointed Christians. That slave class, in turn, appoints overseers in the Christian congregation.—Matt. 24:45-47; Titus 1:5-9."
and
page15,
"Elders make decisions that affect the congregation. However, they make sure that they “do not go beyond the things that are written” in God’s Word. (1 Cor. 4:6)
They also follow closely the direction they receive from the faithful slave. (Matt. 24:45-47)"
IF you can believe that then you will believe anything!!

Who or What Helped YOU Get Out Of The Watchtower Mindset?
by minimus inwas there a person, a book, a situation that helped you see that the "truth" was not what it was supposed to be?
?.

The Elders in my wife's congregation.
They lied so much about a situation; that eventually they had to lie about the GB/FDS instructions.
IF the truth was the truth, there is no way they would have done that!

Hierarchical or Congregational?
by TD incongregational polity is a system of church governence where each congregation is ecclesiastically autonomous.
many protestant churches are organized this way and one of its advantages is that it protects the parent organization(s) from legal actions originating at the congregational level.
one of it's disadvantages is that a minister in one congregation does not hold that same status in other congregations.

They try to be both; depending on the circumstances.
In my wife's UK cong they are definitely congregational,
as the elders DO NOT agree with some of the GB policies.
They DO NOT agree with the Branch office in North London either.

Tried to end my "bible" study, ended up agreeing to go to the Kingdom Hall instead!!!
by KristiKay inmy jw came over yesterday with a video she wanted to show me, i forget what it was called but it was about the history of the watchtower.normaly i don't have a problem discussing the bible with her, but i just could't sit through this bs video.
i already know the history of the watchtower,.
and it certianly isn't what this video was going to portray.

Just SO typical!
They are so crafty, when you get to the hall, they will 'love bomb' you,
then you should think what wonderful people they are and you will stay.
It is just like fishing and you are on the hook!
Just cut and run now or it will be too late.
From my own personal experience.
