Insulting? What exactly are the words that insult you? Christians are sooooo easily insulted by anything that does not share in their delusion. You're Muslim? Insulting! Buddhist? Insulting! Atheist? Damn, that's twice as insulting! Speaking about a thing that has no witnesses, that is insulting! Has anyone actually saw the holy spirit? Or has anyone seen a resurrected person?

Bizarre 'Spirit anointed' v. 'Spirit appointed' explanation in Dec 15th WT
by cedars inhi everyone, i am going through the dec 15th study edition of the wt thanks to a tip-off that this issue is now available online at jw.org.. in the article "guided by god's spirit in the first century and today" on page 25 there is a bizarre argument put forward by the society about the difference between spirit-anointed and spirit-appointed.. this touches on a subject that i have often wondered about, which is this.
why are spirit anointed brothers and sisters (memorial partakers) not given positions of oversight in the congregation by default?
i know it sounds like a stupid question, but please think about it for a moment.

Get over it, people, no one is going to rule Earth! When a person dies, spirit anointed or not, he/she just feeds the worms for eternity. There is no God, no ressurection, no nothing. Stardust we are, into stardust we go, may God bless the credulous and the ignorants.

Today I saw 2 young sisters from my ex-congo in field service. My God, they were walking heads down and slow, like they were in a funeral procession. I was tempted to shout: "Heads up and f...ing smile, you are in the service of Jehovah, not at the cemetery!". A year ago, when I was still a dub, we were happier when we went in field circus. I think some of the young people in my ex-congo envy me for having the guts to just turn my back and leave.

JW for Householders vs. JW for Dubs
by Band on the Run insomeone posted a few days ago that the new simplified wt is not only written for a lower reading level.
the poster said the content itself is different.
the crazier and most cult aspects are removed.

Does anyone know what the Watchtower's corporate ladder would be like?
by dgp ini was wondering if anyone knows how a brother would make his way up to the governing body.
in my (worldly) opinion, there has to be something like a corporate ladder to climb.
does anyone know what the "procedure" would be?.

I think it is possible to go until at branch level. Higher up you need to be American. It's not a written rule, but I suppose it's a silent rule. And even if you go higher, you will not wield real power if you are not American (US citizen). But in order to go to branch level and to be on top of it, you need several things: to be young, zealous, smart and ruthless and to be willing to kiss ass. Your advancement will be much quicker if you are single and if you donate a large sum of money (you know, larger than the box at the KH can contain) or a nice piece of land (large enough...let's say...to build a congress hall on it and inside the city perimeter) to the organization. This way you prove that you are "spiritually mature". If you give both land and money, you need less than 15 years of branch service until you go to the top.

Circuit Overseers What do they do?
by Marvin Shilmer incircuit overseers what do they do?
today i uploaded to my blog an article showing documents circuit overseers send to each congregation in preparation for their upcoming inspection.
quite a few have never seen these, and they go a long way toward understanding the place and operation of these watchtower appointees within the organizations structure.

They whip the dubs in order to milk more field circus hours out of them.

Once baptized, the newbie receives his own copy of "Organized to do Jehovah's will" and he is expected to fill out as soon as possible his blood directive. A period of love bombing and field service requirements follows in order to see how far the newbie can be "stretched". If he is stupid enough, he will act responsably and with zeal and qualify himself as "pioneer material". If he is smart, he will take responsabilities inside the congo, cleaning, reading, carrying the microphones, helping with the restoration of the KH and doing just the minimum in FS. He may become, in this way, "MS material". If the newbie is dumb as hell, he will be over-zealous and become both "pioneer and MS material". Slowly, he will learn all the things that were not told to him before baptism: he is not allowed to lick his wife's slit, nor to give her the banana to play with; he is not allowed to talk to his DF relatives, he is not allowed to wear a beard (in some areas); he is not allowed to go to college (or his will lose all privileges if he does); he is not allowed to wear, eat, drink and f...k anything else than the Society allows him to and in a manner approved by the Society. By this time, he is already an under-educated zombie, ready to be appointed MS. Now in order to go elder, the newbie must do 2 more things: kiss the overseer's ass in every occasion possible and prove to the organization that he is willing to kiss every ass which is above him, hierarchically. Only after that he can become elder.
At one point in his life, the newbie may feel the need to shake loins. He is not allowed to have sex except with a sister and only after they get married. If he is stupid beyond the law, he will pick not the sexiest sister, but the "most spiritual" (which usually is either fat or ugly or both).
And form now on he will not have kids, because he must dedicate his entire time to Jehovah and to his organization. (Armaggeddon is so close, just behind the corner!). He will spend all he has and he will spend himself in field service and ass kissing until the day he dies and realizes there is no Jehovah and no new world and he was just a dumb f..k exploited by a ruthless group of old men. This is the only moment in the newbie's life when he actually does something useful with his mind. THE END.

Will the door to door presentation ever change?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini haven't been out in door to door service in years.
my name is rules and this is brother john.
we are in your area today talking to your neighbors and asking this important question.

Presentations are less direct and more shrewd. For example, you don't mention your intention to see if the householder has read the magazine. Because probably he will not read it. At the return visit, just mention your previous visit, without asking him/her if he read the magazine. The return visit can go very wrong if you embarras the householder.
