  Soft+Gentle - It is inappropriate, I agree. Unfortunately, this is far from the only example of unsuitable material for children. Here's a few more examples.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/182526/1/My-Book-of-Bible-Stories-returned-for-being-too-violent-for-kids-You-Agree http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/156089/1/Witness-Kids-Scared-silly-by-the-WTBTS http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/197546/1/Inappropriate-Sick-WT-Awake-articles-over-the-years http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/148498/1/I-walked-out-of-the-Oral-Sex-instruction-meeting-today-anti-witness

  Does anyone know what the Watchtower's corporate ladder would be like?

  by dgp in

  i was wondering if anyone knows how a brother would make his way up to the governing body.

  in my (worldly) opinion, there has to be something like a corporate ladder to climb.

  does anyone know what the "procedure" would be?.

  Hope this answers your question.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/215401/1/School-for-Congregation-Elders -This shows a hierarchy that is taught. And this might help too.. 'Its membership is unelected; existing members invite new members to join the body. [ 14 ] Franz, Raymond (2007). In Search of Christian Freedom . Commentary Press. pp. 123. ISBN 0-914675-17-6 .' http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governing_Body_of_Jehovah%27s_Witnesses

  Flipper- I'm very sorry, that's terrible.. People addicted to that drug are potentially lethal where children are involved. I'll say no more, but I feel for you, personally.. Everyone else- Wow, these are examples that seem more petty than I even imagined. Thank you all. I think that this is relevant.. John 7:24 English Standard Version (ESV) 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."

  Abiblestudent- I'm sorry to hear that. All worldly people are under Satans control, though, so what can you expect? (!)

  'I know a sister who felt anything with talking animals was wrong since Satan was the first to make an animal appear to talk'- Really? Funny how a friend of mine told me that a bethel tour was shown Shrek as the movie in the coach on the way there. I guess that even the bethelites approve of satanic films now, it's a sign of how close we are to the end..

  'Even though I was married it's wrong to read articles about improving one's sex life'- Seriously?! I find that one hard to believe. Unless the articles promoted oral sex.. but how would they know, unless Mrs elder subscribes to those magazines? And the Lion King definitely had a link to demonic things.. It must have, how else can you explain my nightmares of being chased by those hyenas.. (it's demons that cause bad dreams, you know)(!) Thanks for sharing. :)

  Stillthinking- I was only saying that so you'd know I had payed attention to your post, you'd already said it was disturbing.. This article is relevant, and well worth reading. http://www.freeminds.org/life-stories/rank-file/the-early-indoctrination-process-of-a-jehovah-s-witness-child.html

  Thanks everyone, at least now I know I'm not mad! Does anyone else (other than stillthinking) think that this is disturbing? I seriously believe that a young and impressionable mind would see this article and come to associate falling asleep at meetings with death.. Any other examples?
