DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#2
by Amazing indeceptive jw elders case#2 .
appointing spiritually qualified men to take the lead and serve as elders and overseers has been a feature of watch tower congregational organization since about 1972. jws were told in talks at conventions, in literature, and finally in the two versions of the organization book that the biblical criteria is used when elders meet to consider some men for appointment as an elder.
jws are also told that these qualified men are already appointed first by holy spirit, and then as the congregation is lead by that spirit to recognize them, the elders meeting is a confirmation of what god has done.

How do you feel about exJW's who resist our efforts to effect change?
by nicolaou ini've met a few.
i'm not talking about the jw who, whether df'd or not, falls off the radar and just gets on with living a normal life - good luck to them and may there be many more!.
i mean the former jehovah's witness who is now enjoying all the benefits of a cult free life thanks to the efforts of many bloggers, posters and activists, but is critical of the efforts of someone close them to free more jws.

I've read more than once on this forum that if you aren't already questioning the "truth" you'll reject the information that we have here. I am not opposed to leaving tidbits of information or asking questions that might make someone research the old literature.
I have a sister who is a true believer. Always gets exited about "new lite". Her kids are out and they have done a lot of anti-witnessing. She is happy to live her life vacation pioneering and still talks to us so I generally don't go there. She thinks I am sadly mistaken in my choices. I really hope she doesn't have any blood issues because she would be the martyr the WT likes to write about.

If you have an older version of Word, it may not accept the text unless the program is already open.
I have Word 2003, so this has been an issue for me. So copy after you have opened the document; if you have Open Office no problem.

There must be a plus to why you still want him around. We dont know what it might be, could be you don't like admitting that you made a very bad choice.
He is a boy; not much of a friend. Being alone isn't awful. you don't need to be part of a couple. Change the locks if it is your place.... Or move. He will be fine, you don't need to take care of him. His kind always survives.

Paint Nite - fun evening and a new hobby
by Simon inwe (and by 'we', i mean my wife) decided that we should try something new and she, erm, i mean 'we', liked the idea of painting.
so i enthusiastically (i.e.
begrudgingly) went along for the night to the "pain nite" event she'd booked us for a couple of weeks ago.. the premise is pretty simple: it's held in a pub or restaurant, all the art supplies are provided, the instructor then walks you through how to reproduce a painting they have chosen for the night and you have a glass of wine or beer, do some painting, have something to eat, have some more wine, more painting, more wine, realize you are drinking the dirty paint water and so on.. here's the site: https://www.paintnite.com/.
