it is disgusting but enlightening.
Ah, but as long as the Mercedes is a four-door sedan, it’s not a “showy display of one’s means of life”, huh? 😄

Journeyman - “…They would save members of the congregations a lot of stress (being 'disciplined' for entirely understandable life choices)… They would save bodies of elders a lot of stress (being expected to 'enforce' unreasonable rules)…”
What makes you think they give a shit about whether or not the rank-and-file are stressed?

Foolednomore - “…I was filling my car with petrol at the pump and I saw Mr Super Righteous Elder fill his Mercedes and stare at me as I fill mine. I looked at him and he shakes his head as if he is disgusted.”

in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.

Smart-slash-educated people inevitably come to the conclusion that the WTS is, quite simply, wrong.

This simply reinforces a suspicion I’ve had for years, now…
…that the door-to-door work - and specifically, the record-keeping aspect of it - was initiated solely to create a legal paper trail of “charity” activities, in order to qualify for tax-exemption (without having to bother with soup kitchens, clothing drives, and the like).

the home secretary told the bbc she wanted to correct one of the "biggest national scandals".. .
