  What is the most out of line / disturbing experience you have seen from Circuit Overseers?

  by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique in

  i once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.

  due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.

  isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?

  At a C.A the C.O stopped his talk and asked the attendents to remove a crying baby.

  The mother was a study and walked out crying and never came back.

  Saved by the C.O.

  There was a big drive to build KH's in NZ the late 80's and early 90's but i haven't heard of a single one being built for a long time,some are empting out or lie idol.

  As we know even the Bethel was closed down.

  I have been suprized at the long time J.W's ive bumped into and have leaft the organization.

  2+2=5 cited this fact about the shrinking amount of elders. Perhaps the coming implosion?

  at the last elders school i heard from a few different attendees that the average age was easily 60+.

  there will be a lot of elders gone within the next 10yrs.

  there is nowhere near enough young brothers to replace these ageing elders.

  They have lowered the bar to become an Elder.

  Were i come from 2 elders who had serious drug problems before becomeing JW's .....Their talks are disjointed and the stumble through them.

  As there is not alot of young men reaching out they will rush through anyone who showes the slightest sing of wanting to become an M.S or Elder.

  One new appointement is the most moody,smart arse around if i ever bump into him he makes some smart arse stupid comment.

  Do you think the WTS is about to change the doctrine about 1914? If so, what are the signs that is under way?

  what the title says.

  do you think the wts doctrine that says that christ was made king in 1914 is about to change?

  if you think that's being orchestrated and prepared, do you see signs of that already?

  They may do away with it as fast as they did away with 1975.

  As 100 years approchers the date 1914 will take on less and less significance and the WTS will stop mentioning it as much.

  Once they have droped it all togeather anyone who mentions it will be told (like 1975) they are running ahead of the WTS and they are reading too much into it.

  Lets face it they have moved the goal posts so often whats another one.

  hi guys,.

  i was just looking through www.reddit.com/r/exjw and there is a thread that was posted about four hours ago with the title "so our circuit overseer just got disfellowshipped" and there some basic details in their op.

  the location is given as central coast, australia, which is north of sydney.. there aren't many more details other than "it has sent shockwaves throguh the congregations" and a query on the protocol in situations like this.
