"Elders" are Managers!

by VM44 in

jw
friends

jehovah's witness elders are really managers appointed by headquarters to manage the local operation of the kingdom halls.

forget all this "spirit appointed" stuff.

they cannot make a decision without following wt directives, or checking the wt bound volumes, or contacting brooklyn itself..."hello service department?...help!

VM44

Go ahead take 2 deep breaths.

What you said is exactly right. Unfortunate that is the reality.

I would like to point out that a few men accepted the appointment because they thought it was the right thing to do,

and that they could more fully share the love of the Christ.

I believe most of the ones that really loved and cared for the flock have left that organization.

All I see left there are Pharisee wanabes.

what the hell is wrong with you lot.....ok although i'm inactive, and many of you will tell me to get my ass back to the kh and stay off sites like these if i don't like it,........i have to say that reading some of your posts from the past couple of days has been a really a hard slog, some of you have spent time in previous posts deriding jws for claiming to be "the happiest people on earth"......but from someone who's inactive, and on this side of the fence, i don't smell no roses much from where you're coming from.

what is wrong with you happy apostates, i thought you said life outside the borg(tm) was just great.

happiest people on earth??

If your life as a JW was good you would be busy conducting a bible study today or even reading a Watchtower Magazine.
Instead you are here searching, searching, searching. Be very carefull. If you keep logging on here, you may actually find what you are looking for.

Did something happen this week? (site traffic)

by Simon in

i forgot who made the post about that site 'exploding' with the traffic because of the silentlambs march.. well, the site didn't explode but the traffic certainly went up!

last week we had 55,000 visits making it the busiest week ever so far.

no doubt monday will be busy 'cause a lot of people view the site from work (you naughty people, lol) and they'll want to see all the pics and stuff.. thanks to everyone who's visited and posted for keeping things buzzin'

just in case you weren't really sure, the watchtower and the governing body will never meet with bill bowen.

he is now disfellowshipped.

counting the number of topics he has started.. we arrive at 140 in just over a 3 month period.

Just think,...... 140 clear, well thought out, understandable or entertaining topics in 90 days.

We should all feel honored to know someone that smart.....

Ain't you all impressed .....

have you donated?

simon is too much of a gentlemen to remind us that many countless hours (and resources) have been taken away from his time to give all of us a place to discuss jw topics.

(i think the circuit account servant position i held for many years has come back to haunt me...i have posted this of my own accord without simon's foreknowledge......)edited by - thichi on 4 october 2002 13:41:16.

I emailed Simon for a Post Office address so I can send a money order. So far no answer. Maby he will get the time to answer or post it in a new thread.
