  Why I will NEVER be an elder again

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the po confirmed what many on this board already know.

  at latest round of co to elders meeting, the co quoted from the society outline.

  any elder or ms who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.. he then asked if i was going to take the cos encouragement and reach out again to be an elder and get my hours on the ministry up.. i replied "i will never be an elder again - i strongly approve of further education and college and have been through college myself.

  Book Study "provision from Jehovah" quotes KM, so why cancelled by GB?

  by yesidid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you will notice that in both these km articles they say the cbs is "a loving arrangement from jehovah".

  if that is the case it begs the question: .

  what right have they to stop it?

  The hidden Watchtower writers.

  by edmond dantes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower smoke and mirrors dept.

  are very fond of saying that appostates who post on the internet are like satan in eden hiding their identity just like the devil who used the serpent.. this begs the question why do the awake and watchtower writers need to hide behind the printing presses of the evil tower, what are they ashamed of or more to the point what is the govening body frightened of ?.

  maybe the book club and rip off society are guilty of identity theft in not declaring the names of their writers..

  coming announcement!

  by buffalosrfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the much looked for (or so it seems) announcement coming to the finale of a watchtower study near you, may just be the thing about the book study and if so due to the time of year it is (at least in the northern hemisphere) it would make a fine opportunity for one and all in the congregation to meet say 6-6:30pm to participate in the field circus.

  that way more people would be a home and therefore there would be more people to (irritate) talk to.

  who knows, whatever it is, if it is in fact a change, it won't be for the betterment of the rank and file publisher.

  Is the WT banning vasectomies?

  by B_Deserter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i talked to a dub friend of mine who said they had a new "it's a personal choice, but jehovah will kill you if you do it" article about vasectomies.

  basically, the reasoning is supposedly that since jehovah gave us our reproductive organs, tampering with them is wrong if not medically necessary.

  Calling all ELDERS

  by The Oracle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are an elder who frequents this site, please let me know.. i am trying to connect (completely anonymously - your privacy is assured) with as many elders as i can.

  i know that there are hundreds of elders in the same position as myself (have had our awakening and have come to realize that "the truth" is a sham).. i encourage you to continue to serve as an elder and for you to work together with other like minded elders as a collective force for true good.

  there is much we can do from the inside to help the cause.. there are thousands and indeed millions of kind and honest hearted people whose only crime is that they have allowed themselves to be deceived and are still active jws.

  WHO IS JOHN GALT? (A survey on Ayn Rand)

  by Terry in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  since its publication in 1957, atlas shrugged has sold more than five million copies.

  perhaps a measure of the book's continuing influence may be estimated from the results of a survey conducted jointly by the library of congress and book-of-the-month club in 1991. the survey asked readers which books had made a difference in people's lives.

  the results found atlas shrugged placing second only to the bible.
