More Elders than MS's For First Time in WT History
by FrankWTower inhave you heard the good news?.
i heard from a reliable source that for the first time in watchtower history, there are more elders now than ministerial servants.
this is not just a regional issue either, it's worldwide..

June 15th WT ( again) JW's told " Elders are Imperfect " Give them a Break
by flipper inthis is one subject that really annoyed me when i was a jehovah's witness - and i find it still annoys me after being out 7 years from the jw's.
the title of this jw only wt study article is " have regard for those who are working hard among you ".
in my opinion there always seemed to be a double standard in which rank and file publishers were always told to be patient with elders shortcomings - however if rank and file publishers slipped up - elders would be into admonishing and disciplining them like flies attracted to dung with no delay.

comparing elduhs to doctors is ludicrous imo. doctors go to school for YEARS to learn how to perform their trade. years and years of higher education. elduhs dont. they are window washers with god complexes.

by brizzzy inhey guys, so the book came out today.
my story and the book are on the front page of aol news right now (and i was just on npr and heading into another npr interview right now): http://www.parentdish.com/2011/04/26/brianna-karp-girls-guide-to-homelessness/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl5|sec1_lnk2|58386.
some of the jw stuff is mentioned and of course there are a few jws and jw apologists flooding the comments section proclaiming my apostate-ness ;).

that's amazing bri! i am very happy that everything worked out for you! and very eyeopening. i want to have more empathy towards people now, despite their plight. definitely a reversal of JW mentality.

Want to quit Bible study
by confusedstudent inhi i was just looking for some advice.
i have been studying with the jw's for over a year now, and attended 2 memorials and the district/assembly conventions.
at first, and up until very recently i truly believed what i was learning was the truth.

perfectly understandable confusedstudent. maybe you should just explain that you no longer believe it and that it is not open for discussion. if they really are your friends, they will be your friends throughout. most of us know that jw friendships are entirely conditional but that is not always the case. just be honest and stick to your guns. who knows? perhaps you might even cause some to liberate themselves.
just my 2 cents
