Your set of elders are encouraging you to marry and her set of elders are telling her to seperate. It couldn't be more obvious that this organization has no idea how to be guided by Holy Spirit. The fact that your girlfriend still wants to follow these guys isn't because she is putting God first but for some other reason.

We don't know what the JWs told this couple. If they did lie then it is not too late to remedy the situation.

What is the Watchtower's(R) Objective with the APATHY TROLLEY(CART)?
by punkofnice ini wefer to my pwevious fred http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/280829/2/i-saw-a-trolley-cart-to-you-cousins-in-the-u-s-a.
if the wbt$ is losing money and drones then why so much apathy surrounding the trolley/cart?.
why are they not being more pro-active with this 'urgent, never to be repeated work(tm)?'.

We can rule out any idea that they might have the trolleys in order to preach God's Word as they've been instructed to hide their bibles.

The ministry of Jesus means nothing to them.
Thank you for the recording. It makes it clear that they have set up a different Covenant, one very similar to the Old Covenant. You must obey the Governing Body and the laws that they have set down.
Jesus set us free, the organization tries to ensnare us.

How is the org really run? What goes on behind the scenes?
by Magnum inhow is the org really run?
what goes on behind the scenes?.
i just read an older post on this site that was recently bumped (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/6600/1/don-adams-biography) the post mentioned the adams brothers don, karl, & joel and how influential they are/were at headquarters.

The Governing Body members are no longer Directors on the WTBTS. The WTBTS controls all the money and assets as well as much more. They are the recognized legal entity by law.
If the WTBTS decided to ignore the Governing Body then the Governing Body would need to sue the WTBTS in order to gain control, if it is at all possible and recognized in the current Charter. The Governing Body members do not have much money to fight the WTBTS.
I am unable to find the current WTBTS Charter. The only one that I can find is the 1945 Charter but there have been a number of changes made to that since then. It would be insightful to know how the Charter currently addresses the authority of the Governing Body.
Does anyone know why the 1945 Charter is readily available but the current charter is not?

"Special campaign activity"
by stuckinarut2 ini am just so amazed at how 'stoopid' the average witness is as they get sucked into the hype of a special campaign work!.
especially amazing is the one about to start in our neck of the world!.
everyone is 'encouaged' (pushed and made to feel guilty if they dont.

it's also much cheaper for the organization to have the sheepies hand out leaflet's rather than magazines.

They have gone as far as saying that the R&F are domestics but not yet classed them as part of Israel or being Israelites. This would cause serious problems to them. The R&F would then be required to partake and become part of the New Covenant, who knows, this may be for the future but requires a lot more doctrinal changes.

Memorial to cease?
by Aroq ini heard something about the memorial to cease soon.
not anything to do with jesus returning but rather that the number of folks partaking is increasing and the gb can't explain it since it should be decreasing or staying the same.. has anyone heard of this?

Just this year the Governing Body directed at least one congregation in Africa not to provide the emblems. The excuse was that it was to avoid passing around an infectious disease that was around.
