  Do you agree with this statement?

  do you agree with this statement?

  "leaders (called elders) of a given congregation are selected from within and there is routine and frequent turnover.".

  from: stark, rodney & iannaccone, laurence.

  the only thing I could think he means is the foreign speaking congs where there is such a short supply of elders and servants that even newly baptized ones have the chance to progress up the wts ladder

  The bastards have marked me!

  so, i'd been invited to a jw 'friends' house this evening, but before i went, i went out with some work mates, something i've been doing a bit more of recently.

  i told him i'd be home about 7.30 and for him to phone me after that time when he wants me to come round, so i get back about that time, popped onto jwd, whilst awaiting my phone call, got nothing, so i phoned him up a few minutes ago, and he told me that he'd discussed it with the others, and since i've been going out with worldly people so much, they want me to stop that association before they let me start associating with them again!

  i'm really fucking angry here now!

  I would say "Awake to the Watchtower" is a very good reference aid

  today at 5pm it will be two weeks since i last smoked.

  i'm using the nicotine gum again, and it seems to be doing a good job.

  i got close to bumming one last night, but i grabbed a gum instead.

  Did The "Titles" In The Hall Bother You?

  2. friends

  i always hated the fact that the jws claim they don't take on titles for status and then do just that.

  pioneer,special pioneer, auxillary pioneer, elder, ms,co, do, po etc.

  did this bother you?

  Hate mail from jws

  by dedpoet in

  2. friends

  hi, i rarely post on this forum nowadays, as linda (fullofdoubtnow) tends to do the posting from this house, but i decided to post this myself.

  i am currently building an information website for local ex jws, along with a couple of ex jw friends, and recently received a couple of emails from a current jw who, according to him, stumbled on the site by accident, although it clearly states that it is an ex jw site.

  he found an article i had written on jw child abuse policy objectionable, although everything i have written, both in that article and the rest of the site, is verifiable, which i told him in my reply.

  It just goes to show that deep down R&F witnesses are nasty, disturbed, evil people, would we like to share the new system with people like this? I think not

  CO says, "people accuse us of not believing in Jesus!"

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  is he right or wrong?.

  during his talk, the circuit overseer asked what kinds of negative information get spread about jehovah's witnesses.

  of course, the question was rheoctorical, the audience didn't answer.

  I've said it once and I'll say it again, the Wts is not Christian, they do not worship Jesus, they are a Monotheist , sacred name group who worship an angry Hebrew god Yahweh.
