Elderettes?

by mellojello in

hey everyone i'm new here.

i'm not baptised but i've been qoute on qoute 'studying' for the past 4-5 years.

i'm almost 20. i've been lurking and i've seen a lot of posts about elderettes.

Gorbatchov

It's well known in our family history, that my grandmother was an Elderette. SHE WROTE THE PUBLIC TALK FOR MY GRANDFATHER!

When I think about this, I have to smile. JW's are sometimes just normal people ((:

Do The Writing Committee Believe?

by jw07 in

does anyone personally know jws serving on the writing committee?.

what is their outlook regarding the end; are they still truly convinced?.

are they expressing doubts or seem demotivated?.

Gorbatchov

Those who write the nonsense are the one who invented the new nonsense.

So, they are those who know its a cover up.

In the catholic church they say the cardinal and above them do not believe in God. JW's organization is the same.

I NEVER Hear A JW Talk About Never Dying & Living Forever In Paradise Anymore!

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was raised with this belief, that we would never die and actually make it into the "new system".

mu faithful jw aunt still talked about my mother (her sister) and her walking together into the great tribulation--- and never die at all!

she spoke of that 2 days before she passed away.. i believe most witnesses expect to die and then get resurrected.

Gorbatchov

Our CO told our congregation that most of us will reach paradise by the underground. He ment the graveyard.

It was totaly silence when he spoke this words.

With the decease of Guy Pierce, I was thinking tonight about the day I shook hands with Albert D. Schroeder.

It was during his zone visit talk in a convention hall in The Netherlands. I was 12 and walked with my father in the hall. There were

a lot of people around someone. My father told me "There he is, give him a handshake".

I walked - a litle bit shy - to him. He was very tall from my point of view. He watched to me strict and asked in German

"Sprechen sie Deutsch?". I answered "Ein bisschen". He answered "Ah, ein bisschen!" and went away.

It was not a nice chat. It felt somehow strange. He behaved like he was far above us, the rank and file.

Since then, I did not like those men anymore.

After Tony's Talk: how are GB members selected and by who?

by Gorbatchov in

after the shamefull tony morris iii talk in italy, i am thinking about how it is possible that a multi billion corporation is managed by 8 old crazy man?.

who's selecting new gb members?

is it enough to be a extreme manager-elder, then getting promotion to a manager-co / do, put the organization strictly first and on who's radar you have to be?.

I think Tony has always be Tony, isn't it? So, the other GB members must have known he is a very strange guy.

Conclusion: it's difficult to realize that these crazy-8 are in charge of the organization...

But who does?
