i mean this with all due respect, i would like to hear from genuine people who think jw have it wrong and then what is the truth?.
im not talking about silly little quibbles here and there.. is jehovah real?
the the bible is word?
this is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. when i went to bethel i and everyone else, signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society,had the right to keep our body.".
yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty years old you didn't think much about stuff like that.
besides we were never going to die anyway.
This is what they say the 'deep things' are these days - W 07 11/1
We should not think that “deep things” are necessarily difficult things. Knowledge of “the deep things of God” is obscured from most people...
Examples of Deep Things
Jesus is the primary part of the “seed” of God’s heavenly “woman” referred to at Genesis 3:15....12 A second example of deep things that have been revealed to us concerns God’s purpose to select 144,000 from among mankind. (Revelation 14:1, 4) We accept the teaching that all of the anointed ones living on earth at any given time constitute “the faithful and discreet slave” that Jesus said would provide timely “food” for his domestics.
Even the 'deep things' are subject to change.
yup a mentally diseased apostate.. http://youtu.be/e7qmypu7mxo.
Some people don't agree with his methods but he sure has the Elders annoyed.
Probably the best thing that he is achieving is making the Elders more conscious of their responsibilities when it comes to child abuse problems.
my friend tells me he gets sick of silly questions.
i tell him its part of the assimilation process.

At least they are silly questions and not offensive questions.
For some people it might be part of an assimilation process, but it is likely to be for a variety of reasons.
Some people are curious, some might be trying to get to understand him a little better, some might think he's weird and are trying to affirm that in their own minds and some people might just be being rude.
He could ask them why they want to know and take it from there. What he sees as silly questions might not seem so silly to others.
johnny the bethelite on this program talks about the older bethelites being targeted by watchtower.they are getting rid of those at bethel who are 65-87 years old, some being anointed even the widows of former governing body members who gave decades of loyal service time to the watchtower organization.. the reasons the very elderly are being expelled are money in that for their age range they cost so much to cloth, fed, and medicate, having problems from high blood pressure to dementia.
they include persons such as sister henschel whose husband had been a watchtower president and marian sydlik whose parents are long dead.. https://soundcloud.com/rick-fearon/jan-16-2016-johnny-the-bethelite-watchtower-insider-host-his-radio-program-from-brooklyn-ny .

If they are serious about cutting costs they would be rethinking the whole accommodation arrangement and be setting it up the Bethel resorts on a more dorm type arrangement. Most rooms look like they have one bedroom, a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. They could fit two in the bedroom and three in the loungeroom.
If they were desperately short of money, they could rent out rooms in the other buildings for anyone willing to come for a short period of time to volunteer.
The GB members may even be willing to give up their two bedroom apartments, freeing up more space.
was it settled?
is it still pending further appeal?
