having to sit through this at the meeting just now.. blatantly saying to obey without question: "will you be as determined to comply with god's guidance as jeremiah was?
", "...accepting the guidance given through the faithful slave class is for your lasting good.".
this is so painful to sit through :(.
My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 9:4,5. One of the last times I went in service was with my fellow elder and "friend".....at that time, the PO.
I made him pull out his Bible and read this scripture after he spent the entire morning complaining that he was being overlooked for assembly talks.
He read it out loud.
I said "guess who I apply this too?"
the newbies are pooring in....... curious.......can any of you new folks confirm the sentiment of the publishers regarding the new light that the governing body is the faithful and discreet slave?
has anyone even noticed??
what's the word on the street?.
^^ That is what I was wondering Fed-up......has there even been a WT article on this?
Tired brains.....or.....just lazy brains. I can say that because I used to be one

Great feedback gang.
So a question: ............the new young guy on the GB.......he is NOW officially part of the faithful & discreet slave? ..... Wasn't he REQUIRED to be part of the faithful & discreet slave to even be considered as a potential member of the Governing Body?
LOL
Seriously........they must sit around in Brooklyn and just laugh their a**es off how easy it is .....

Thanks nolonger.....
Steve2...........that is EXACTLY what I expect......I could walk up to any JW right now and they wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about....or they would react just like nolonger's wife

Thanks!
i am noticing that as time goes times on, the jw's become more stranger.
they seem a whole more distant at least to me.they also more depressed at least the older ones i see.. what do you think..
I understand what you're saying.
The longer I'm away, the more nutso they seem. They are so delusional and utterly depressed. Many of them act in desperation....
Its sad to see how mislead they are.......It especially feels weird to see them in field service now......pathetic
my sister in law has been shunned by the family since she da'd herself at the age of 18 and moved out of the house.
i always insisted that my wife keep in contact with her and made sure she knew she had a soft place to land,with us, should she need it.
even at the risk of it getting us in hot water with the pioneer,elder,bethelite family members there was no way we were going to let her disappear into the wild blue yonder on her own.
Kurtbethel,
HILARIOUS!!
to the original poster........I went to Russell's grave last year....I posted some pics on here......I couldn't stop laughing. I just laughed and laughed hysterically until tears were rolling down my face........
........did you and your sister have the same experience? This surreal laughter at knowing you used to put your entire life into this crap??
i'm sure alot of you have noticed, the influx of new jwn members with "postitions within the cong" this is amazing, i myself am still an m.s.
working to get removed.
lol my wife (who has been really supportive throughout my fade) asked my why i am doing i decided to fade?.
"prominent" elder (oxy moron huh?), buried in District/Circuit parts......conducted WT for 8 years, chaired too many JC's to remember....
Used and abused
i suggest hire a monkey.. since all elders do if you ask them for help.
is tell a person to.
pray more.
Those of us that served as elders for years can tell you.....that if you do truly care......it will destroy your health...mentally, physically and emotionally
There is a reason many 'brothers' are quitting and not reaching out
i've read how many have been asked the question if they belive thae gb/f&d$ are jehovah's(tm) channel for communication.
this question to finally find out if they should be df or not (terms and conditions apply and are subject to favouritism or who your family are).. we all know too well that the gb arrogantly do claim to be god's channel in their pope like status.. however, when they are made to look like arses they suddenly become 'just imperfect men doing their best...where else will you go?'(r).
so when the elders come to hound individuals and ask the ultimate question of loyalty to the holy paedo ring known as the gb..... what answers have you heard given that was totally brilliant?.
Cantleave,
That made my day.....its the little things....
