would there be files containing review or asessments of individuals in cong?.

would there be files containing complaints voiced to elders about them or anyone else?.

would there be anything damaging to wtbs?.

any review notes on MS or Elder recommendations? Reasons to not recommend? notes on conversations ? lately i have verbally expressed concerns of policies and teachings and wonder if they scribble down notes about things like that? does each publisher have an individual file?

Would there be anything damaging to WTBS?

Would there be records of JC actions and details? Individuals named?

Anything else juicy or embarrassing to WTBS?

Or have they decreed all files like this be kept off site and who has them?

If I or one of my family get pulled into one, there will need to be a 911 call. Our library where star chaimber hearings are held have large non tempered glass windows that 3 elders will be tossed thru

Add your favorite JW prayer cliche'

by King Solomon in

you know what i'm talking about: the trite, often-repeated phrases that convey the person offering the prayer has drawn a mental blank, and utters these words while their brain desperately searches for the next cliche', so they can conclude the ritual with the required tag, "in jesus' name we pray".... (is that like the postage stamp?).

ok, i'll kick this one off, and take the most obvious:.

"forgive us where we fall short....".

Lately prayers have become a "how many times can I say Jehovah" during my prayer contest. I seems to just get thrown in like a word whisker like "um" would get used

Same DO during his closing long winded talk actually said when he feels sick his wife keeps bringing him brandy until the hat hanging on his bedpost starts looking like two hats...I was in disbelief he just told an assy audience he gets tanked when he don't feel well

A couple years back a DO actually said in a closing prayer that "the flowers on the stage were available for the friends on a donation basis"...like he broke into commercial mode for a few seconds...I was like REALLY??? please tell me I didn't just hear him say that!!!!

True story: one bro at another hall said the following prayer to start a Sunday meeting: "dear Jehovah, please give us your holy spirit,..amen"

He serves the congregation I reluctantly go to now as an elder...functionally illiterate but is one of the school overseers.
