Some Poll Questions to Answer

by jwfacts in

i have updated a site of mine, jwfacts.mobi, which has a few articles from jwfacts.com, but better designed for smart phones.

on it i am going to include a few polls, and need people to answer them so that there are some intial numbers for the graphs.. please go to jwfacts.mobi/pollsarchive and answer any that are relevant.

it should only take a minute.

Done! One suggestion though is maybe to have a spot under "What Were You Disfellowshipped For"? where we can check off "Was not Disfellowshipped" or "Did The Fade".

hoser said: Ernie Pandachuk was the DO Larry Erickson the CO

Ah yes....Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dumb. Larry Erickson was famous for deleting a ton of elders in the circuit if they were working shift-work and would not give it up. I heard through the rumour-mill that even Crooklyn told him to knock it off as there were entire congregations that had a huge elder shortage due to his fanaticism.

Clearly, Jesus wants his followers to be humble, that is, lowly in mind and free of pride and arrogance.

I remember when Ernie Pandachuk was the District Overseer. He was one of the most arrogant, self-righteous jackasses I've ever had the misfortune of coming across. One of the brothers there disagreed with him on some minor point that was being made, and Pandachuk was livid. He boomed out "Don't you know who I am?!" in front over everyone there. Guess who got removed as an elder not too long after this?

Jesus' death opened up the prospect of immortal life in heaven for spirit-anointed Christians and everlasting life on earth for the "other sheep."-John 10:16; Rom. 8:16, 17.

There is absolutely nothing to indicate that John 10:16 is talking about ‘everlasting life on earth' for a different group of Christians unfortunate enough not to be baptized until after 1935. Every bible commentator that I've ever read about states that this is a reference to non-Jews (Gentiles) being gathered together with Jews. Only in Dub-Dumb Land is it viewed as a two-tiered destiny.

This article is obviously meant for the rank and file Witness only. It's a well established fact that the higher up you go on the spiritual ladder, the more arrogant and ‘puffed up with pride' they tend to be. While there are always exceptions to this, it is extremely rare to ever see an elder, a CO or a DO do anything for someone in need, if they can't count it as ‘time' on their Field Serve-Us Report. And since this article got the seal of approval from the GB members, when was the last time any of them humbled themselves? They fight victims of their own warped policies in court, they've screwed millions of Witnesses out of ever having a normal life with their ‘sky is falling' bullshit over the last hundred years, and they've never ever apologized for anything.

What a group of idiots....

Why has the WT not tried to shut down this board?

we all know that beth hell monitors this site.. they have repeatedly had sites shut down for quoting large portions of their litterature.

not this one.. do you think this board enables them to keep a finger on the pulse of what is going on in ex and aposto land?

do you really think the wt view this site?

There is no doubt they do. A few years ago when the new Elders' manual link was posted on here, I believe Simon was notified by an external source that it was a "copyright infringement" and he was to make sure the link was taken down immediately. I can't quite remember all the details (maybe Simon could?).

Another instance that shows they monitor this site is when several of us use to do "Fun With Covers" on here probably 5 or 6 years ago. We'd take the covers of the WT and Awakes magazines and put our own titles on them. One of the posters (Wasanelder I think) then uploaded them to youtube and put some music with them. The Borganization complained again about 'copyright infringement' and they were taken down, but they're up there again now. LOL.

SATAN PUT THOSE FOSSILS THERE TO TEST YOUR FAITH!

Did they ever actually put this to print in any of the liter-boxature? Or was it done word of mouth and spread thereafter? (like the sister who was protected by the 2 angels while calling on a murderer...)

Flipper said: It used to be they FERVENTLY declared that no new anointed would be allowed after 1935 and that the 144,000 had been sealed to completion by that year.

Essentially true, but they still allowed for the occassional "replacement" without too much hassle. Depending on who you were. Ted Jackass Jaracz wasn't even baptized until 1941 and he didn't start partaking until 1971. Seeing as he was alreay pretty high on the ladder by then, I doubt anyone gave him a hard time. However, if an average R&F started doing the same thing, they'd be viewed as "haughty" or "forgetting their place" or "mentally diseased".
