when i was first appointed i did, not me myself, but the body as a whole.
good group of spiritual men.
at first a pleasure to serve with them.
I am SO glad to have read this post; I thought I was the only one who distrusted elders!
They are NOT spirit directed, neither are they spirit appointed as is often quoted in the Watchtower.
There may well be a few genuine ones, who have the best intentions!
but NOT the majority, who are generally on a power trip.
for those who like reading about mathematics, i recommend w.w. sawyer's books.. some titles of his are:.
prelude to mathematics.

VM44 - There aren't too many people interested in Mathematics!
I used Sawyer's books in 1972-74 when I was training to be a maths/Science teacher.
I just wish I had known about him when he first wrote them (1943) I was 11 then and could have coped better at school with them.
It is amazing that they are still available.
i was wondering what changes have you seen with assemblies now.compared to assemblies in the 1950's..
Despite all the changes; IT is still the same old story!
Armageddon is just around the corner!
ALL Lies!
i've always had this, horizontal depressions in my nails, they eventually grow out, but then another one will appear.
not white ridges just depressions.. any ideas?.

"White lines and horizontal ridges, however, although in exceedingly rare cases can be due to arsenic poisoning,
are almost certainly normal."
i think my mains reasons would be i don't believe they have "truth".
and i refuse to allow them control over me..
I couldn't sit there knowing it's not the actual "truth" without coughing out "Bullshit!" when I hear it.
This is why my wife won't allow me to accompany her to the KH; EVER!!!
I would shout out something similar in the meeting; probably "All lies!"
my old one sucks.. of all the strange ads that pop up here this is the oddest.
didn't even know there was such a gizmo..
Ice cream made with breast milk has proved a big hit in a London restaurant, with the first batch sold out within days of going on sale, its makers said on Friday.
The ice cream, called Baby Gaga, is made with milk expressed by 15 women who replied to an advertisement posted on an online mothers' forum.Each serving of Baby Gaga at the Icecreamists cafe in trendy Covent Garden costs £14 ($22.5, 16 euros).

and i refuse to allow them control over me..
They are a very dangerous cult and have far more power than you may think.
They will lie there way out of any situation to your disadvantage.
They have very little interest in what they call the truth.
Elders and above for the most part are just on an ego power trip.
the 2011 convention theme is..................(drum roll).
.
"let god's kingdom come.
was the watchtower the first ones to register this domain name or did they buy it?.
if they bought it how much did they pay?.

ok i was just blown away when i heard this today while driving, at first i thought it was the some old same old but then it went on and it seems like it is on a different level.. the subheading is "guard your heart by exercising self-control.
on page 27 par 17 it says "one way a person could wonder into the foolish course of the "young man in want of heart" is by aimlessly flipping though television channels or surfing the internet.
whether intentionally or not, he might chance upon sexually stimulating scenes.
"Others have decided not to have access to the Internet." (Read Matthew 5:27-30.)
(Matthew
5:27-30)27 "YOU heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to YOU that everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If, now, that right eye of yours is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you. For it is more beneficial to you for one of your members to be lost to you than for your whole body to be pitched into Ge·hen′na. 30 Also, if your right hand is making you stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is more beneficial to you for one of your members to be lost than for your whole body to land in Ge·hen′na.
