Elder uses Congregation Bible Study as an opportunity to ban the movie Avatar
by easyreader1970 inlast night, during the congregation bible study, the conductor (overseer?
) used this as a platform to say that the movie avatar is of satan and no christians should see it.. .
he said that he googled the (original) meaning of the word avatar and it was of hindu religious origin.

Thats funny - the same thing happened at my Cong Bible Study last night too!!....after about 5 minutes of how bad the movie is for R&F, the elder suddenly collapsed on stage in a heap. I heard one of the sound boys mention that somehow the connection between Brooklyn and the elder got lost.... 15 minutes later he was up and saying the same thing during the SM...then he collapsed again....

Format the letter on his letterhead - he's a (non-JW) friend.

Actually, Gerritt was adopted at birth - he is really a member of the Baldwin family. if he let that hair down, it would have to fall close to his shoulders....in 10 years he will lead the GB as premier comb over king....

Elders who step down for little or no reason?
by Truthexplorer inwithin the past decade, two elders stepped down in my old congregation.
actually one was taken off for commiting adultery and therefore reproved, but the other one simply stepped down for no apparent reason.
also, in another congregation i used to attend for a short time, i was shocked to hear of another elder stepping down, again for no apparent reason.. i am wondering if there has been an increase in the number of elders stepping down for no obvious reason and to see if this is a worrying trend causing alarm for the society.. i am thinking the past 10 years, particularly with the internet being available to so many people around the world today; but have you experienced many elders stepping down in your congregation or past congregation?

There are those elders that go out on a limb day-in-day-out with sincerity of trying to be a "good elder", meanwhile there is the rest of the body along with their R&F fan club that are at the other end sawing the limb off...When confronted with a situation that was not scripturally based i had enough of the often virulent attacks. Plus I was getting sick of the R&F nutbars that chose to passively oppose you with their head down during your part, refusing to share in your Q &A. Then once you are off the platform they somehow come to life with br Ear Tickler and his "look at me", stupid jokes and elder billy bob bag o' groceries on the step stories.
After I stepped aside I had one of those R&F nutbars (a loopy loonies with the fake bipolar) come up to me and tell me how much she was shocked and surprised and asked what lead up to my decision as she and her husband were so sad....my answer..."you and your family - you robbed me of my joy"
No elder steps aside for little or no reason. it is that most do not accept their reasons for doing so.

Deleted Elders?
by Farkel ini knew about elders being "deleted" and have commented what a strange and pejorative term that is, but it wasn't until "wtwizard" and "designs" commented on another thread about it that it actually hit home for me.. one cannot step down as an elder with any dignity!
elder's can't quit, with the word "quit" being as in "he quit his job.
" elder's can't resign as in "he resigned as chairman of the board for xyz corp.".

The correct announcement is "Br <> is no longer serving as an elder".
The use of "deleted" is self serving for those self righteous elders who have a point to make.
When a brother stepped aside for personal, family or health reasons I made sure as an elder and COBE that the congregation were "aware" by perhaps inviting the brother to close with prayer or asking the br who closed with prayer to mention the brothers years of faithful service and example.

JW Tall Tales
by lancelink inrecently i was cleaning my bookcase and found an old book that i enjoyed as a child.
it had stories in it such as paul bunyan, pecos bill, and john henry.
while these stories are fictional, i enjoyed them because they were entertaining, and easy to understand.. fast forward to the late 70's when i was a teenager sitting at the ca hall in janesville wisconsin.. the speaker was explaining the great sacrifice god made in sending his son down to earth to die for all mankind.

yeah...tall tales like elder Billy Bob getting a load of groceries on his doorstep because he just turned down a promotion that would see him get more money or the pioneer getting money for a car......then we look at the horrors in Haiti where no doubt JW's ekeing out a meagre living are crushed to death, or Malawi sisters exposed to undescribable attrocities and indecencies. I never believed God was that arbitrary and I hated the tall stories for that reason.
