  what do you really believe

  what do you really believe the percentage is for jw who are truly ignorant of what is going on behind closed doors of the w.t.

  as opposed to those who actually know something is wrong & yet go along with it for whatever reason?

  i have been asked for coffee by what i can only describe as one of the sweetest persons i have ever known & i cant even begin to conceive that she knows what is happening with the child abuse cases but then how do i know?

  Before I went through something negative personally I was in the 90%.

  It wasnt that I didnt know bad things were out there...I just thought they were trumped by all the good AND I had an automatic "excuse" in my head for it all based loosely on the nation of Israel and all the imperfect leaders and how Jehovah loved people who were faithfu in spite of it all.

  Like the widow who gave the mite at the temple...if she was old and faithful, she had to know things werent right...Jesus was making it quite clear and there was a lot of buzz.

  But she kept on keeping on "trusting in Jehovah".

  So that was my mental defense.

  The problem with it was I had NO one who could guarantee me that the Org. of today had anything whatsoever to do with the Jews or the temple or Jesus or even that widow.

  Nothing except their word.

  Which turned out to be as useless as Confederate money after the war.

  And that was the one thing I had never thought about....they only have themselves to back up what they are saying.

  Looking at the pics of Warwick... I'm chocked.

  i am truly chocked and baffled by the number of volunteers they got for this project; especially in the states.

  looking at one of their articles on the matter, they stated that a large portion of the printing work was delegated to other locations than ny, thus, they did not need as much space as they did in ny.

  also, it was stated that operation cost in nyc were expensive.

  So true Scully!

  I had to laugh about the no preaching whilst theyre away! woo hoo! yay!

  just kidding, this person is pretty tactful actually

  This person is a great worker and I care for them very much personally. We have been friends for over 30 years- since we were kids..

  I would just wish for them a nice trip to a beach somewhere....but as mentioned above - this is what makes them happy

  Yes they are happy going to work there...

  I had an employee of mine just use their paid vacation time to go volunteer.

  It was galling to know I was paying for that....

  Blurring of genders

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as sometimes happens at elders meetings with the co, he has a letter from the branch to read out.

  this rarely is made available later so any policies have to be acted on from memory.

  this visit a letter was read about blurring of the genders and in particular brothers dressing in a metrosexual style - tight clothing was mentioned again.

  Shout out to you former / current elders.

  Is the existing policy now that a person can be forbidden to go out in field service?

  If that hasnt happened then maybe whatthe C.O. was telling Saltfoam and the other elders is that these individuals cannot pioneer (hold special appointments) or lead the group in service?

  I had not watched that one.

  I just watched it but I skipped ahead to the part about this thread topic.

  It looks like that book was a compilation of his readings and thoughts. Then he goes in to house for his "study".

  After that he gets a life, a new wife and tons of cool looking friends. He gets to wear his beads out in field service with no suit coat and is a pioneer. There is a shot showing him closing that book this thread is about and walking away from it.

  Like he doesnt need it anymore because he got a new life.

  So I dont see that there is anything mysterious here?

  What am I missing?

  Whoa, hold up!

  I remember years ago we had a DFd person who insisted on going out in field service. Of course the elders were livid and called the Service Desk.

  What they were told is that they couldnt stop her.

  She didnt have to be recognized or included but if she went out on her own and started witnessing, they were to leave her alone. The reasoning was this was a commission laid upon everyone by Jesus and it was not specifically negated by her disfellowhipping.

  That is also why people who are reproved and lose privileges dont lose field service. Because it is a command not a privilege. So the elders take away things like commenting etc instead.

  So how did I miss this major shift in policy?

  Its laughable that they are now going to threaten people with yanking their "field service privilege" if this rumor is true. They already cant get people to go out in service as it is!

  Any of you elders past or current can you tell us if this is true?
