"Another elder stopped and said, "you know we will have to announce your name in front of THE WHOLE CONGREGATION do you not?",
Hey, there's that Christ like spirit! Remember when Christ urged people to give out of compulsion, fear and guilt?

Dear God, Cedars! Narrowing the top rock and roll bands down to 10 is tough enough. Now you bring Motown into it?
I'm going to need a drink

December 1, 1981 Watchtower - page 27.
"At times explanations given by Jehovah's visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view. But this has not actually been the case. This might be compared to what is known in navigational circles as "tacking." By maneuvering the sails the sailors can cause a ship to go from right to left, back and forth, but all the time making progress toward their destination."
What a fine example of spiritual "tacking".......right back to starting line!

Is the Governing Body EVIL or IGNORANT?
by cedars insome of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.
this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.
as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.

"Yes, I have a recording, but it contains too many identifiers of who I am. The part about
Numbers 14:1-4 starts at 32:45 or so and I don't know how to break it down into a 4
minute recording. "
Can you find a way to get a copy of it to Cedars or another trusted senior member of this site? I am sure they can extract just the section out that you want

Help her around the house. Spend time with your kids. Be a good dad and a good husband. You owe them that. But no.....I would not help them get ready. If your wife asks why I would respectfully explain why. If she has a problem with it ask her if she will help you get them ready to take them to a Catholic church next week.

"According to JW theology, you're the head of the household. You can insist that she not take your children to the Kingdom Hall."
That's not true. She can claim "spiritual endangerment" of the kids and would have organizational support of separating from him. Maybe not divorcing but at least separating. Head of the household argument only applies if you are supportive or indifferent to the JWs. If you do anything to oppose....your status of "head of the house" goes out the window
