the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!
--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.
a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.
I was at the assembly where they showed that video.
I remember all the tears from people sitting around me and the general sense of heaviness in the air.
I also remember seeing a few people (not a lot but a few!) whos faces looked very "set" and grim. They were not letting the emotional manipulation in. They were steeled against it.
I think looking at the faces and how they receive that sorry video could be a litmus test of who has had just about enough of the Org.
i was recently told that circit overseers must give up the position at age 70. is that true and if so, does the coordinator have to give up his position at age 70 also?
Makes sense (in a self serrving kinda way) I guess.
Thanks OneEyedJoe

I wonder why 70 for C.O.s and 80 for COBEs?
Im sure the Org would blame pressure, travel and responsibilities the C.O.s have but truthfully they live a rather cosseted life.
COBEs are in the trenches.
so why really?
when i was a member of watchtower corporation, i regularly heard how it must be the true religion because of the growth™.
(phenomenal, apparently).. i wonder if they still hang onto this?
has it been boasted about at meetings recently?
The Org is attempting to spin straw in to gold with statistics.
Attempting being the operative word.
believe inspired truth, not inspired error (s-341a-16-e).
instructions for the circuit overseer’s meeting with the pioneers and field missionaries in conjunction with the circuit assembly (s-312-tk16-e no.

I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to brave anonymous leaker.
For all you do and the risk you take.
You are very appreciated.
my spies seem a bit confused.
here, in this neck of the woods 3 congregations had 3 separate sittings.
the attendance seemed to be swelling.
Hi my buddy punk!
It was down here in my area.
skills questionnaire instructions.
1. there is an urgent need to locate exemplary brothers and sisters who possess certain skills or work experience and who are available to offer their services on a broader scale to help support the theocratic expansion work taking place worldwide.
for example, skilled brothers are needed to assist with large-scale theocratic construction projects, computer-related projects, audio/video projects, and the increasing translation work.
Didnt this all call originally include para legals?
Wonder why that isnt mentioned this time?
hello, i thought i should introduce myself.

my name is art and i am 25 years of age.
Perhaps Maria would like you to be reinstated so that the two of you could have a wedding without the worry of people you love not coming.
That is certainly understandable.
You will have to weigh out is that one day (wedding) worth being reinstated for?
If it is then you have your answer. If it is not then you and Maria will have to talk.
This will be one of many difficult situations you will have to face together once you are a married couple.
Maybe seeing how the two of you handle this will help you both learn about each other and your styles of making decisions about all of lifes issues?
Wishing the best to you both.
i wanted to write my experience on how my husband helped me see the ttatt (the truth about the truth).
