i'm just curious speaking from a person who has stopped going to meetings.
i have heard reports from inactive ones (or from ones who the elders suspect of going to the dark side) of having so many visits from elders (cong members) that it got to the point of harassment.
surprisingly i have to say from personal experience and from numerous others that i have spoken to that the exact opposite has been the case.
No visits except attempts by elders until I filed harassment complaint against them...but its interesting..the ones who treated me and my family like utter shit are suddenly VERY nice...I think they know they fucked up by being assholes..I became very vocal about mistreatment by certain ones in our Cong and they now see the result of their error..
.I'm gone....
please tell.

Why would almighty JEW-hovah with a perfect memory...knows exactly how many hairs are on your head...who calls all the celestial bodies in existence by name......has all dead locked away in his perfect memory so he can resurrect them when he is damn good and ready....
......NEED A RAINBOW TO REMIND HIMSELF NOT TO DESTROY THE WORLD AGAIN?????
Just a little wakeup call....
not sure if this has been posted but the jwsurvey site received the videos in english from someone.. this crap is pathetic to watch.
how to counsel someone who is suicidal... really.

Found the lack of narration very revealing in that the WT legal department had their say to omit narration to not link the HQ with these videos as if the boys in Brooklyn have no involvement in these star chamber style proceedings...always looking out for their own asses....
"in minnesota, a man said to his visitors: "i saw you coming, so i went to get this book.
" he held up a bible teach book and said that when he was in prison, he stole the book.
when asked if he had read it, he replied that he was going to read it on the weekend while he was fishing.
The man has been identified. ..his name? Andre....
we thought we had heard all the stupid things printed by watchtower thru the history.
nope!
this one takes the cake and gets the applause!!!.
the pattern of behavior is just as vile today as it was back then.......disagree with anything the watchtower does or teaches you get cast out and shunned
they keep the same pattern as Rutherford started which is one of the few things that remains from the Rutherford era
we thought we had heard all the stupid things printed by watchtower thru the history.

The thing I would add about Rutherford regarding anything he said would be the clip from the Faith in Action DVD where Rutherford was berated for hours and then those who did the berating were cast out of the WT and shunned...we can assume correctly these associates of Rutherford knew what a crackhead he was...brought it to his attention and since he was the head cheese..got rid of them...NOW that Rutherford is dead and rotting. .WT can abandon everything he taught and believed ONLY because the self proclaimed ASS is dead...
here is the text of the letter:.

your brothers,.
No one will dare come shepherd my inactive ass...last time I had a "shepherding visit" it ended with me filing a harassment complaint with the local PD....plus our COBE is a slacker in this department...all him and his family are concerned with is counting time and being self righteous...treating others in the KH who they don't approve of like complete shit
i recently got an unsolicited lecture from a well-intentioned but nevertheless misguided jw friend.
the gist of it was that i needed to go to all the meetings or i would miss out on "everlasting life.".
i responded that i do not need to go to meetings to have a relationship with god.
Once again it is the JW / WT hypocrisy at work here because it is actually THEM who forsake the gathering together with one who is "weak" or "lost" or "inactive"...they will seek out associates who are by appearances "spiritual" .....they actually withdraw from ones who actually may need the gathering the most....
this went bad, i hit click before i could post my thoughts about the fear factor going through our crazy kingdom hall.
the title of this thread was aimed at asking why the governing body is becoming so afraid and demanding the elders and rank and file to put their trust in the dukes of the kingdom hall.

OctoPope.....I love that....
if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?
top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.
not too expensive to maintain.
No Cadillac either....the perfect cheap reliable easy to fix 4wd vehicle is a chevy blazer....tons of them made...4.3 v6 is bulletproof..and for five grand you can get a hell of a nice one that will look and drive like new...just buy an adult driven one
