Also, if they're demoting all DO's to CO's AND they unveil their plan to unvoluntarily "retire" COs at 70, how many DOs you think are near or over 70? I wouldn't be surprised if most were in their mid to late sixties, if not early 70s.

I think they just want to get rid of them entirely.

How Were You Affected by All The Rules & Regulations From The Watchtower Society?

by minimus in

there are so many directives for elders, pioneers, ministerial servants and "publishers", it is mind boggling!!!.

to fulfill all of their expectaions, you would have to be perfect!.

i must say, that i really don't know how some do it, every day, ever week....i wonder how long some of the elders that frequent this board will still push the flock like the watchtower says they must..

Just thinking about this. . . .

Yes, they heap on rules, regulations, duties, "privileges". . . . You feel like you've been run ragged. .. .

Then they have you implement this thought-stopping technique: "Are you stressed out? That's Satan's system; Feel like you're busy with no time for yourself? Don't blame it on the Trooth! ---- It must be your job. . . " and so on.

That is a great picture BLONDIE

Black sheep of the family-my life as an ExJW

by bsand20 in

i was a 3rd generation jw, half the congregation i attended was made up of my entire mom's side of the family, 2 of the 3 elders were my grandpa and uncle.

my first memory of the organization was when they announced my mom's name in the meeting saying she had been reinstated....it was 1988 and i was 6 years old....i didn't understand it then, but when i asked my mom why was she crying and why did they say her name in the meeting, she said "it's because i've been good!".

so she went back and after a period of time assisting constantly, she was reinstated.

This is pure speculation, but I think there's something to it:

I think GB 2.0 as a group is going to die prematurely.

Pierce died at 79 - that is about 20 years early for a GB member.

It seems like most of the members of GB 1.0 lived well into their 80's and 90's

Here's where I see a difference:

GB 1.0 were all skinny guys (mostly). They looked like they might eat a half-can of tuna fish in water a day.

GB 2.0 do not look like they miss too many meals. Morris looks downright obese, Jackson too. Even Sanderson has a lot of weight on him, especially for a forty-something guy. While I wouldn't have pegged Pierce as "obese" he certainly did not have the wiry profile of Franz or the other old-timers.

Sure, their lives overlap with 1.0, but that may not give them as much of a "stretch" as they intended unless they start taking their health seriously.

Fat cats.

the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .

YES YES YES!!!!!

So happy for you and your son!

Best of luck (although LUCK probably has nothing to do with it!)
