Here in the UK we had the classic: 'I was stuck on a door and she brought up blood!'

Disfellowshipped for eating FATTY FOODS, BEING FAT, BAD DIET
by free2beme inheart desease is the leading cause of deaths in this country.
bad diets are leading to an ever increasing population of diabetic and fat children and adults.
if we keep this up, more and more people will be too sick to work or live a normal life.

Isn't 'Food. Glorious food!' in the new song book? I think it goes:
"Food. Glorious food,
Obey the watchtower!"

Did you feel your BOE was spirit directed?

A congregation I visited once was basically ALL family on the BOE. New England in Peterborough UK.
Sons, step sons, relatives of the Elders got away with murder. I believe they still do!
Name and shame. Awful place, awful congregation!! Bloody disgusting!
Anyone know it?

@therevealer = After 6,000 years of humanhistory, the issue has been settled. Human rulershave failed to eliminate war, crime, injustice,and disease.
If the issue is settled then JarHoover has failed miserably to vacuum up war, crime, injustice and disease.....why?
Oh, sorry. The god the GB push around doesn't exist...that's why!

How far are you on your journey away from the JW Org?
by punkofnice ini mentally left the org in march 2010. i stepped down as an elder after my lad got into trouble.
i researched the publications to make myself 'spiritually strong' but it backfired.. i was in mental and emotional turmoil, still on fs, the platform and meetings etc.
i had to force myself to conform to ever failing jw doctrine.. i announced to my family that i was not going back to meetings in august 2010 after the 'overlapping' joke of 'new light'.. i told the elders not to call.

Did/do any of you look at scripture cited, read around it and say: 'Cor Blimey Guv (or whatever you say in your country), this is WAY out of context!'?

The BOE I served on had a real power tripper of a PO (CoBE). He even 'goosesteped' almost, to the platform looking down his nose at the R&F.
He had his suck up side kicks and the rest of the body were nice uncle types.
Spirit directed? Yes! If that spirit was from Satan, Oh, Yes!
On a JC we were told the decision we made was from 'Oily Spirit' and was bound up in Heaven. So when we said: 'OK you sinner....public reproof for you!!' That was a desicion from an infallible god who then gave 7 days appeal. Nah......that's typical business speak not god directed!!
So. Short answer = Not God's spirit but Satan directed!

I read somewhere that the reporting of hours is, not just a 'spiritual thermometer' of the person but legally validates the washtowel borg. for tax exemption as they can prove they have 'members' or something.
Gad, I HATE the GB!

latest public watchtower includes adam
by therevealer inin being naughty .
.
notice the "adam made an evil choice".

punkofnice
I think so. I don't think this one is ripe by the look on Adam's face though!
'Evil Choice'.......honestly..........almost as hilarious as 'overlapping'!
Perhaps he made an 'overlapping' choice as well!!
