My ex was DF when she was on a manic hi, then sought the same elders out as she slipped into her depressive low, mentioning suicide for the first time. The elders told me this and I was completely impressed with how completely ill-equipped they were at a very basic understanding of dealing with people suffering with bi-polar or boderline.......disorder. It's sad.

Watchtower Dishonesty
by Vanderhoven7 injust re-discovered this gem:.
"it is a matter of fact that the history of the watchtower society is riddled with failed date-setting and abandoned doctrine,1 and the society has gone to great lengths to hide this past from its members.
older (incriminating) watchtower publications are virtually impossible to obtain through the society,2 while at the same time members are overwhelmed with "current" watchtower material.. the watchtower society has even gone as far as to publish disinformation about its own history in an attempt to convince readers that watchtower doctrine has remained consistent over the years, and that the society is not a false prophet.

Is there a department in WTBTS to keep tabs on what has to be changed or made unavailable? Years ago a young sister in my congregation was on the cover of a brochure, (I think the school brochure) she was DF'd and before you knew it that brochure was reprinted with a new cover. I believe everything else remained the same. So how do they keep tabs on all that stuff?

shepherd the flock gem
by outsmartthesystem injust reading through the manual that only elders have access to ..........and.
page 58 - "elders should act promptly when they receive a report of serious wrongdoing so as to safeguard the congregation and provide assistance to the wrongdoer.
neglecting to care for such matters can hinder the flow of jehovah's holy spirit to the congregation.

I think people want to believe in an Armageddon
by dgp inthe end of the world (aka "this system of things") has been predicted to happen "soon" many times.
in my own lifetime, and not being a jw, i have been warned that the world would end like six times already.
harold camping predicted one end of the world twice only last year.

I want to add dubs are puffed up always being reminded that they are "model citizens" paying their taxes and obeying the law like they have a monopoly on that. Well, lots of people pay their taxes, obey the law, volunteer for fire, ambulance, coach little league, town boards, money drives for causes........list goes on and on. No, JW's are not model citizens.
