  Nov.15th WT - WT Society Wants & Needs Elders- Not very High Standards

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as many of us realize- times are hard for the wt society getting men to " reach out " for an elders or ministerial servants position as young men aged ( 18-35 ) are opting out of doing that due to the pressure they are under from the wt society leaders and just that it takes up too much valuable time where men could be earning a living and helping their own families instead of a thankless magazine printing corporation.

  in the article " train others to reach out " in this issue it has lots of strange, controlling, yet perplexing statements which i'm sure will confuse jw men who are considering " reaching out ".

  in fact, i think this article will discourage more than encourage them from doing so.. on pg.

  I guess to pool they have to pick from is getting smaller so just dumb down the qualifications.

  Disassociated with the JWs

  2. experiences

  after having faded 12+ years ago, finally decided to da my-self.

  i haven't done it before, mainly because the jws have left me alone and have family that are heavily into the religion cult.

  in recent weeks i've had the "in" family go off the deep end with their actions increasing being rediculous.

  Wizardca,

  My guess is 2 elders will call on you i belive thats the way they handle it.

  You can say nothing or try makeing your piont(s) about why you want to DA.

  All the best.

  JW Fraudster from "down under" - high profile

  by sizemik in

  2. scandals

  it's an interesting story .

  .. in 1992 johnston, a jehovah's witness who sometimes preached door to door, had started with an improbable goal: he would make a fortune selling nothing more than a concept.

  it was a magic pill that cut emission and made fuel last longer.

  I remember Johnson from his days here in NZ he had a bissness called 'Everyday brushers".

  He seemed to me like a decent sort of guy.

  However that was some years ago .

  I`ll play the devils advocate : generation change

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  i have the wt may 15 1994 scan with the birthdates & deaths of the 16 people featured, and it occured to me using wt logic,that you could extend the generation timespan this way.. #6 d.d.

  was born in 1892 and died in 1984. that was the earliest birth of this group.

  #4 j.e was born in 1912 and died in 1997. the age gap between these two is 20 years.

  "Unscriptural to say a former child abuser could never enjoy exemplary privleges of service." Oh really?

  by headisspinning in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  it is a known fact that on average a pedophile will abuse as many as 200 children in his/her lifetime.. with that in mind.

  read an extract from an august 1, 1995 letter to all bodies of elders in the usa.. i guess these untrained elders are somehow experts in this area and can determine if someone will reoffend even though law enforcement, psychiatrists and specialists cannot offer the same guarantee and in many cases will even suggest that these known sex offenders are very likely to reoffend when the opportunity presents itself.... to all bodies of elders in the united states.

  august i, 1995.

  I had a conversation with an Elder that went like this.

  ME: So child abusers are aloud to go from door to door freely?

  Elder: Yes in some cercumstances.

  Me: So you have decided for the house holder that it's OK for a child abuser to come into their house and start a study with them even if the householder has young children?

  If i saw that happen i would be obliged to say something (there is 2 child abusers in my old congro) it's not up to us to decide that it's OK the house holder has that rite.

  Elder: No comment.

  many of you already know my real name.i'm the one whose experience was published in the sep 8 1994 awake mag.

  i would like to stress that although i have good reason to be angry and bitter, nothing i say here is said in anger but only in sadness.

  i write this to say that if i could take back many of my words i said in that experience , i would.
