  Watchtower and Anonymous Links, Updates, News, etc.

  i wanted to consolidate a lot of the information about the attack of anonymous against the watchtower society.

  if you disagree with the tactics of anonymous, that's fine.

  this information may still be useful as the public is made more aware of the the dangerous policies of the watchtower society.

  CO Visits... Are elders honest about the TRUE state of the congregation?

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question is really for elders or ex-elders (or ministerial servants in the know).... did you find that some elders would tend to "white-wash" the true state of the congregation when they had their sit-down with the co every 6 months?.

  did some elders feel pressure to hide certain things from a co for fear of being "removed" from the boe?.

  (judging by the "fakeness" that some elders displayed during co visits, i have to wonder whether they were really worried about being removed for not seeking out inactives or encouraging more participation during the wt study, book study or fs...).

  As a ministerial servant I was assigned the territories. No one explained to me that the congregation(elders) might experience the shame of having an outside group assigned to help them cover their territory. So, when the secretary(or was it the service overseer... who cares!) would call me in a panic a few weeks before the co visit telling me I needed to get the unworked territories turned in, I would think "that's kind of dishonest" and blow it off. That was back when I really believed that it was the "truth" and that things should work in an honest fashion. Oops.

  In one of my first meetings as an "elder" with the co, the co asked the po what we had done to fix the terrible state of shepherding in the congregation. The po (a man who really should have been a career polititian), looked the the co in the eye and said very confidently, "we've addressed that brother Nelson". Technically, that was true because it was discussed in a previous elders meeting, but nothing had actually been done about it. I found out later that there were couples who had been begging for "shepherding" because their marriages were falling apart, who moved to other congregations (the marriages still failed) to get some help.

  Also, it appears to be helpful to have a world class golf course in your area. Pray for circuit overseers who golf...A nice day of golf, paid for by the po and his cronies seems to be very helpful in shaping the "true state" of the congregation for the co.

  the Ireland branch--> issues over the years

  by WildeLover in

  hi all.

  the irish branch has had lots of drama over the years from john may in the 1980s to the recent removal of practically all the branch committee in the mid noughties to its being closed down quite recently.. i heard on the grapevine that two of the branch committee had actually come to physical blows and there was blood on the carpet.. also many many witnesses spoke of the totalitarian environment there.. does anyone have anything further to corroborate or add to this?.

  Mrs. Queequeg pointed out the last sentence of this article that says the neighborhood will miss the skilled craftsmen.

  Uh, the Bethelites take a Vow Of Poverty, and are not supposed to take side jobs while they are working at Bethel. This has been in force for a long time.

  So, the neighborhood is gonna miss the Bethel workforce for something that they are not supposed to be doing!

  Isolate them Governing Body! Yes, that's the answer!!!

  Anyone wanna place a bet on what will happen to me when I have to go to the Kingdom Hall this Saturday??

  by Coffee House Girl in

  well since there is no "betting" (as it reeks of gambling) in jdub land, lets place a friendly wager on what will happen to me when i go to my father's "memorial" service at the kingdome hall this saturday..... to give you newbies background info: i am neither df'd or da'd- i left 2 years ago with no explanation.

  i have been hounded by elders in my cong because they have suspicions that i am living with a man, but they have no proof (well, no proof in jdub land- you know...two witness rule).

  after many attempts to get me to meet with them- i finally sent the elders a "cease & desist" letter after one of them spied in my miniblinds to see me eating breakfast with someone (they couldn't identify who).
