read this relevant message on reddit, about current elders.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1eb0ees/the_changes_are_affecting_elders_the_hardest_in/.
spot on, isn't it?.
gorby.
Yes good post. I can really see it coming.
Of course, the cut off age for not DF being 18 is a bit absurd as maturity varies from kid to kid. It's a very secular choice. My boys are still like kids at 18. I can't fathom the cruelty of throwing them out at that age. They wouldn't stand a chance.
Remember the Bible didn't recognise adulthood until age 20 so they should at least use that as a guide.
he used to make such interesting comments and reports here, but his last post was 3 years ago.

Biahi Smiddy's account is Smiddy2 but I can't find it. It's doesn't seem to exist anymore😞
Is Sail Away still here, too?
good pick?
bad pick?

Res BandicootThe only really good and suitable woman that the Dem's had was Tulsi Gabbard, but she got sick of the nonsense and quit.
What a real pity, too. As a woman I'd feel so much prouder if Gabbard had been elected. Harris has been given a lift up for all the wrong reasons her whole life.

- Violent crime has gone down. The latest figures from large cities show an 8.6% drop in murders.
Is that as compared to PRE pandemic/defund the police/BLM riot levels? Or as compared to the more recent 'defund the cops' period levels?

mark sanderson's fake and vivid imagination experience starts at the 1 minute 30 second mark:.
goes out with local brothers and sisters in door to door service.
I agree with Road to nowhere. That was Enrique the local Don who provided security (or more likely forced "protection" for a fee. The donation went the other way lol)
imagine if the watchtower had their own country where they could do what they wanted.
do you think they would actually kill people who disagreed with them?
would the elders be willing to carry out the executions?what say you?.
Ha that puts me in mind of the well known fantasy story written by an exjw - set after "Armageddon". The elders do exactly that! There's also a forced marriage and a suicide. In the end when the narrator becomes aware that worldly people are still alive, he's imprisoned and executed!
Have you read it SB?
become a circuit overseer in your mid to late 20's.
you would have had to qualify as an elder previously.
this would mean the male would have had to have been an elder in his early 20's.
WhoaThat's totally the way to encourage the absolutely wrong kind of co, to engender resentment in perhaps very experienced older elders. Being lectured by a man the same age as their grandkids (or younger given the age most JWs marry) & reinforce entirely the wrong behaviour-reward system in the young 😬
i'm interested to know the age demographics here.
it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.
it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.
50s 😳
awake 1976 - should a pocket calculator be in your pocket?.
somehow this totally zany 'bible based' article passed me by first time around!.
anyone remember it?.
remember some of the first Calculators from HP. EXPENSIVE!
Agreed! But calculators were not expensive in 1976 when this article came out lol! Heck our school got a computer a few short years later in 79 - 80 (I think?)
I'm sure the real reasoning behind that article was more medical quackery intimating one shouldn't have anything electronic too near your body bits - hint hint! 🍆🍒
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Meth teeth aside, I never noticed he had the Tom Cruise single front tooth thing. Weirrrrrd
I think he's just got the British slightly crooked teeth thing - one is slightly protruding making it appear he has only one? Usually I find it more attractive than those (weirdly protruding) bright Hollywood teeth (see: David Bowie) but in this case...no!😩
