  HOW EXACTLY does god communicate with or direct the GB?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower

  we're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".

  in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".

  so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?

  So my dad comes from vacation and ???!!!

  by Kool Jo in

  2. experiences

  hello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.

  so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???

  has anyone else had this experience before?

  Sounds like your father is lacking in the True Christian Quality of "VISIBILTY."

  In order to be and Elder, not only must you be a high-hour publisher, you must also make sure that people see you doing it -- otherwise you might not even bother. Doing stuff in a manner that everyone sees what you're doing is called "Visibility."

  Ironically, the Leader of the Only True Relgion on Earth, Jesus Christ, has been INvisible for over a century now.

  I wonder if he'll ever be deleted?

  West of NYC, we woke up to. . . 4 or 5 inches of snow -- Pretty disappointing!

  NYC got spared, with about 8 or 9 inches, but out east on LI they got around 20.

  The contempt of Anthony Morris: the face doesn't lie.

  by freemindfade in

  i have noticed something even long before even looking into ttatt, something about morris bothered me.

  i am personally very attuned to body language, facial expressions and general subtleties in human interaction.

  there was something about his face that really bothered me, and i will explain it.

  STILLIN - I think Albany will fare about the same as us. . . This seems to be more of a coastal storm.

  PONTOON - I don't know. . . You guys are right in the middle. . . 

  JONATHAN DRAKE - yes, stay safe everyone!

  Well, from my experience I would say they have pretty slim pickings as far as attorneys.

  In my decades of being a witness, I only met one witness attorney, and it was someone already working at bethel as an attorney.
