Easy statement because I have never seen any proof, have you? Anything good is from god, anything bad is from Devil, is that proof? stories men wrote that really do not make any sense, is that proof?

Holy Spirit gets fooled?
by In inwell, i honestly don't think holy spirit would be fooled, but man certainly can be.
and it looks mighty bad for holy spirit when a man claiming to have it makes a crappy decision.. just for the record, i am still in, thus the name.
i have noticed questions really upset the "friends".

They will say the person was good when appointed, then he let satan in his heart, such as Adam & Judas. Pure BS, many were appointed while doing the wrong they were eventually caught doing. To answer your question "How are elders appointed?" It starts with lots of ass kissing and posturing that you are more spiritual than all others. The rest you have already stated, local elders to Co, then to NY. I believe in Crisis of Conscience Franz said that the governing body has nothing to do with appointments, no prayers either. Pretty much a rubber stamp if you can BS the local elders.
If I am wrong about the CoC thing, please let me know.

I Have a Theory - It Will Make The Society Tons of Cash
by Sam Whiskey ini have long held theory that the society can easily cease it's printing operations and increase it's profit margins.
follow this scenario.... as we all know, the printed word and accompanying illustrations in the wt and awake can be converted to pdf format (pdf is a format that can be locked so that the recipient cannot change the contents) upon the completion of each individual magazine.
it would therefore be very easy for the society to email or to put up on a server the wt and awake for retrieval by the presiding overseer of each congregation.

It sounds like a good way to cut costs, the only problem is the older ones like my mother is not computer savvy at all. Can not use a desk top, I gave her one, can not check messages on voicemail on cell phone even though I showed her 3 times how to do it. Maybe cut half of printing, then scale it down gradually. Very plausable theory.

Opened a Watchtower Today!
by treadnh2o init's been a few years, i had some time to spare and it was there.
not considering the actual message, here is what hit me, hard:.
the font is larger than that used by any secular publication that one would consider intellectual.. the language is so basic that it would bore the educated but would be embraced by those who were "simple" or perhaps mentally challenged.it alsowould not promote thinking as their was so little substance.. i then checked an awake and it is much the same.

I am so sorry for you! I hope you put it down quickly.
I can't read any WT publications, even a few paragraphs posted on a thread. It just makes me so angry.

Letter to all congregations in Canada 2010
by bobld inpledge forms will be issued to all brothers & sisters requesting for donations for k.h.,assembly halls,reno of k.h.etc.they did give some poor excuse as why this was necessary.my guess is that the brothers who made interest free loans to the wbts are asking for these loans back because of all the layoffs and the down turn in the economy.. bob.

I had a cong secretary once tell me that whatever the number they get from the survey, the actual donations afterward are half or less than what was pledged. I found that very funny.

REINSTATEMENT !
by iknowall558 inluke 15 : 7 says : - .
"i tell you that thus there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.".
within the organization, the requirements for reinstatement of those who are disfellowshipped are 'repentance' of any any previous actions and attitude ; a demonstration of no longer practicing whatever 'sin' you got disfellowshipped for, as well as demonstrating submissiveness to the elders, the regulations, and the f&d slave.

The deal is one of 3 things:
1. Control
2. Control.
3. Control.
Get it? There is little that the JW's do that is backed by what the bible says.
