Although it does not negate the fact that the Tower is full of shit to its gills, I have seen a few Elders who seemed to genuinely care. But I have also seen this to be the minority. I have seen many more who are just asshats who have made nothing of their life and because they get the blue hairs golf clapping at their scripted speech on Sunday or Thursday night they feel like they have made it. Its also an appeal to popularity. They must be great because all these dumb asses think so. Which is the real reason the society has assemblies. When dumb people see 20 thousand people all singing the same lame song it must be true. This many people could not be fooled. I have had many elders who were determined to DF me. Showing up at my door thinking how slick they were trying to get me to say that the dubbers were not gods org on earth. I would never make a statement only ask questions or say I have read this or that. They finally asked me if I did not believe why do I care? I said I never said I do or do not believe, I just have questions and that is supposed to still be OK, and if they wanted me DFed they could do the work and get it, but I was not going to hand them the rope. Mostly because they feel vindicated when you are DFed. If you can stay in "good standing " and be a apostate in their eyes it destroys the whole God keeps his org clean.

36Crossing the Elders
by Cold Steel infew things draw my interest as much as people on this board who talk about the elders, the insidious little toadies who lurk around kingdom halls, the proverbial big fish in little ponds.
it amazes me the terror and the veneration they inspire, as well as the occasional ridicule.
it makes me wonder how they're selected and whether most of them come into the position with a sense of power, entitlement, authority and control, or whether many of them are pretty nice people and that i'm just hearing about the bad apples?

I think they let me hold the mic a few times. I never had any desire. It was like saying I wanted to be captain of the local 6 person book club.

I asked this years ago and got stupid answers like if everyone who ever lived were alive they would all fit in Texas. Or that Hova can expand the earth bla bla bla. Asking questions of JWs is as useful as wiping with sand paper. Its very irritating.

Until western society gets mean and I am saying if you bomb we will find your children and cut their heads off we will be like a city cop in Chicago. You can not win a war like this with moral authority. During WW2 we raised cities killed men women children wholesale. War is now a board game or video game where you just press restart if you don't like the outcome. People love sausage but if they saw it made they would puke. People love freedom but many snowflakes wince at how it is maintained.

We have as a world been through much more dangerous times. When the the English had to move their kids out of London because of the blitz. The difference is back then the English had balls. They fought hard and dirty and won. Now they give speeches about how the terrorists are cowards.

Brought my non-JW wife to Kingdom Hall for a wedding
by keyser soze inmy brother got remarried to his ex-wife over the weekend.
they had been married for 15 years, but divorced in 2011. they decided to give it another try, because they have 3 kids together, and the dating pool is very thin for jws in their 30's and 40's.
we didn't want to attend, but since i was invited, and they were kind enough to attend our wedding, we decided to suck it up.. the most interesting part was the way my wife responded to the whole ordeal.

Have Jehovah's Witnesses Become Boring?
by David_Jay inokay, that new video about 1975 has got people talking, and yes, the child abuse cases will always require us to remain vigilant...but after my having left in the late 1980s/early 1990s, it seems all the real "exciting" stuff is gone.
when i left the witnesses were still preaching that the "generation that was old enough to understand the events of 1914" will not pass away before armageddon comes.
no blood cards were our badges (not that stupid jw logo) and that card meant what it said, "no blood"!

Western Europe is lost. They have let the liberal assbags run things right in the ground. You can no more make peace with a Muslim than you can with a rabid dog. Look at Dearborn Mi. it was once a great jewel of Michigan. Now its a shit hole where you feel like your in Tehran than the USA. This is what the liberals bring us. Merkel is letting in over a million potential terrorists. France elected a pussy who sees no problem with Islam, and England once a strong nation now can not find a ball. As snowflakes seek safe spaces where they do not have to hear things they do not like they want to let in the very people who would cut their dumb ass heads off. Fucking idiots. England and Germany, France and Belgium get exactly what they asked for. They made their bed lay in it you fucks. Poland has very low to no terrorism but this is because the don't let in Muslims.

I used to work with and idiot elder Reg Jay who would say you never worked harder than how we will work after the bit A. This idiot is still waiting for something to happen that will never happen. Fools. Best to let pig wallow in the mud alone.
