What are the titles of the Congregation Elders?

by VM44 in

what are the titles currently being usined for the congregational elders?.

"presiding overseer" was one title that was used for a long time, but i know that was changed awhile ago.. are they even called "overseers" anymore?.

what was the reason for the change?.

Another piece of trivia. Who are Watchtower representatives? Answer: not the rank-n-file, nor any of the above. It includes Circuit Overseers or above.

What's Wrong with Being A JW?

by Vanderhoven7 in

what's wrong with being a jw?.

http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/wrong-with-being-jehovahs-witness.php.

i wonder if a booklet could be made of this document to hand to jws and people you know being influenced by them.. .

Hmmm .... I would have sworn that Mouthy had a few things to say. Then it disappeared.

Back on topic -- it's their contradictions, a boatload of them. The irony is that they say they've not done it -- which, in effect, becomes a contradiction. THE GREAT WATCHT0WER CONTRADICTION is an 11 minute read that, although designed for new ones, challenges even the most experienced JW when you encounter them at the door.

Latest convention brochure on,,, the Governing Body

by cedars in

i've finally get my hands on a pdf of one of the two newly released brochures, this one entitled "who are doing jehovah's will today?".

here's a link so you can download your own copy.... http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/98881625/file.html.

predictably, the brochure is extremely vague on key topics.

And, they are truly inspired spirit-directed.

I hope this clears things up.

Ya'll are making the Governing Body look like a bunch of fools. They can be downright serious at times.

Hi, Puffthedragon -- thanks for weighing in as someone with actual experience of the stupid dress code -- the entire goal of this illustration. For lurkers, puffthedragon is no. 63 in my list of 83 ex-Bethelites now represented here at JWN.

Hi IWTB,

This from Wiki: Godzilla is a 1998 science fiction monster disaster film co-written and directed by Roland Emmerich . It is a loose remake of the 1954 giant monster classic Godzilla . The storyline was conceived from a screenplay written by Emmerich and Dean Devlin . The film relates to a fictional tale involving a nuclear incident in the South Pacific which causes an abnormal mutation to occur in a reptile. The beast migrates to North America and wreaks havoc on Manhattan . ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_(1998_film)

I never saw the film and most critics seem to wish they never had.

Did Godzilla actually migrate to Manhattan as is reported? I tend to believe he did since my cartoon is based on that fact. Of course, if you didn't see him, perhaps he came invisibly like Jesus -- as is famously claimed by you-know-who.

Cheers,
Len

from Wiki: The beast migrates to North America and wreaks havoc on Manhattan [during his angry visit to Watchtower headquarters] . Incorporated in the plot is the character of Dr. Niko Tatopoulos, played by actor Matthew Broderick .

And thanks for the complement.

Is the 10 Hour Per Month Requirement Still In Force?

by Conan The Barbarian in

are there any active elders/ms or higher out there who can advise if one of the requirements for appointment is that the person's fs time is equal to or greater than either the congregation's average or the national average?

this used to be the case, but may have been relaxed.

also is the branch still approving appointments?
