calling all elders - what goes on at the week long elders school?
by not bitter inmy dad is currently attending a week long elders school.
dad is in his 70's and not in great health at the moment so this is adding to my anger that he is having to leave the house at 7am and doesn't return until 6pm and then has to lock himself away to study further in preparation for the next day.. he has also been told he is not to discuss anything about the school with other elders until they have all attended.
what are they learning about that isnt' already out there for all to read anyway.. they can't be learning more bible stuff as the bible is there to be read by the general public so i can only assume that its all top secret stuff that the rest of the congregation can't know about.

My Dad says he's really enjoying it anyway.
I just wish it wasn't such long days and all the extra work in the evenings. He must be brain dead.

I don't understand why they would be teaching biblical doctrine to elders only. Why keep biblical teachings from the rest of the congregation? Who runs the schoools? Is it the CO or someone like that? Do they discuss specific JC's that are ongoing in that local area or is it more about how to handle JC in general? I do love having elders at hand to answer these questions for me. I darent' ask my Dad.

So I'd like to know what they do there. What are they learning about that isnt' already out there for all to read anyway.
They can't be learning more bible stuff as the bible is there to be read by the general public so I can only assume that its all top secret stuff that the rest of the congregation can't know about.
But a whole week? Why so long? I know he had to print lots of info off JW.org to take with him. He even bought a new printer for this! That pissed me off too.
So please can some elders respond. Thanks

The CO and his wife have no home
by not bitter ini know some have a flat or apartment that they can go to on the odd week off but i believe that the majority have no base to call home.. my parents have the co and wife stayng this week again and i asked my mum about it.
she says that if they do get the any time off they go to her mothers to stay but thats only every few months.
i just can't imagine having to live out of a suitcase in someone elses home constantly.. how to they not crack up.

Shirley - the couple staying with my parents this week had stayed with them previously about a month ago but they both fell ill with flu so they didn't leave my parents bedroom and ended up staying there a few days more because they were both too ill to leave.
In fact my parents went on holiday and left them in the house.

It may be something the CO has chosen but the wife just as to go along with it. They give up having children. I wonder if they think its a good idea initially but it must get them down eventually.
I wouldn't last 2 days. The wives have to be happy and smiley constantly. The very thought of it depresses me

How do they do it?
I know some have a flat or apartment that they can go to on the odd week off but I believe that the majority have no base to call home.
My parents have the CO and wife stayng this week again and I asked my mum about it. She says that if they do get the any time off they go to her mothers to stay but thats only every few months. I just can't imagine having to live out of a suitcase in someone elses home constantly.
How to they not crack up. I can just about cope with spending one night at a friends house and I can't wait to get back home and sit around in my PJ's doing what I want to do. There's no place like home.
And what happens when they retire from ill health or whatever. Where do they go and how are their lives funded. What if they woke up and wanted out. They would never find work without an employment history.
I feel very sorry for them in that respect. Especially the wives.
Another thing, what if she fell pregnant. What would happen then?
