is it ok to talk about the ongoing post about 'he who must not ne named"?.
my perspective: im a neutral observer.
i dont know lloyd evans, im not an active member of any ex-jw group (except this one i guess).
I'm not interested in 'he who shall not be named' and neither do I watch ex Jobot youpube vids. I'm hopefully beyond all that.
There's a life out there without getting entangled in all the other stuff. I never get involved with that post you mention, it just seems like a load of village gossip when I did tacitly look. It's one I really don't have the energy to get involved in.
I wonder if it's more about sniping than genuine concern.
I'm still looking for the rich widow. the search continues.
there seems to be a push to fast track the younger men to become elders.
beings jesus was 30 when he took up his ministry, i would think that would sort of be an age gauge...the older men were to have their children in subjection, so some were old enough to have children that were old enough to want to rebel.
( that's my slant ) how will the ones who have been jw for years respond to being counseled by those younger than some of their grandchildren?
Fooly - I notice how the rich celebrity Jobots rarely get in to trouble. Money talks to the GB. How else would TOMO the turd get drunk on fine Whiskey and protect his beloved paedos?
A trip down misery lane.

I was an Elder(tm) and was DA'd(tm). I saw how corrupt the WBT$ was. Not a real religion but a big business posing as a religion to get money for those at the top. The scales fell from my eyes. Nothing to do with 'bitterness(tm)' or 'sex(tm)'. It was to do with HONESTY.
I don't know why other Elders(tm) just can't see this. Wilful ignorance? Tribal delusion?
watchtower, september 15, 1895: "beware of "organization.

the bible rules will be the only rules you will need.
Tonus - 'progressive understanding' is impossible to distinguish from 'making it up as we go along.'
I love this definition.

Fooled - It makes me laugh when young Elders(tm), give sexual advice when all they've ever done is read about it in the Watchtower(tm) or just touched themselves.
obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.
FM - I know you're pulling our legs. Why not just admit that you're having fun spoofing us?
Valid dictionary definition seems to me.
All of these words are valid in a Dick'n'Harry, so it's has no authority; adds up to nothing.
Here are some other words in a Dick'n'Harry:
Cup. Artefact. Cat. Link. Paddle. Handcuffs. Bondage. Discipline.

Ernie - I do visit Cambridge from time to time because it's just up the road from me. Rather picturesque. The cafe in M&S is a bit low brow but has a nice view and decent soup. I can just about stand students and bikes.
FM - WT claims progressive understanding and not that wt teachings is an un changeable standard.
How silly of them. they really are silly billies!

FM - Well, it's very silly of them.

Ernie - Exactly. this is how duplicitous they are.
I would be wary of picking a sentence and reaching conclusions on that alone.
Nah. Not a bit. Throw the nonsense out there to illustrate how rudderless they are.
I did not mean to give the impression I'd reached a conclusion though. Just for clarity, ol' friend....or buddy, depending which side of the Atlantic you're on.
Fish 'n' chips or battered cod and fries?
