  reappoinments to elder or MS after a move...why?

  by chester in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this may have already been discussed in this or other forums and i may have missed it.. in another thread chipster mentioned something about coming up for reappointment after a move.

  especially if i was coming up for reappointent after a move.

  it has always been a puzzle to me why a brother should have to be reappointed to his position after he moves to another congregation.. i have never heard anyone complain about it.

  Didn't they just recently change this policy? I think they are automatically an elder when they move, and don't have to wait.
  I'll have to ask my informant, but I am pretty sure she told me that.

  I saw her interviewed very recently, but can't remember where.
  Not Oprah or Rosie, maybe Barbara Walters........can't bring it up to the mind. Someone asked about her being a JW, and she said they don't
  talk about their religion. That ended that. No comment, no
  nothing!! Next question.

  My mole will be back next week with her notes. She called
  me last week to tell me she took lots of them for me, on
  the apostate talks. I'll share them here too.

  I think you should tell about their 'darling' daughter.

  Good job, telling about your travails, princess. You are
  still showing them a better 'Christian' spirit than they
  show to you.

  I love the idea of telling them to leave the dishes on the
  counter after they wash them. Or, you could say "just put
  the dishes in the dishwasher. I haven't run it yet."

  Talk later, doll.

  I can only remember one of them. Something like this:
  Do you believe the Faithful and Discreet Slave is God's spokesman?
  (or mouthpiece or channel?) Something similar.

  If they do ask, ask right back to them? "Why do you ask me that?"
  And then DON'T answer their questions. Say, "My thoughts are private, and between me and Jehovah. You don't have a right to my private thoughts."

  Or don't meet with them. Greet them at the door with Kleenex in hand, coughing miserably, like I am now. That should make them leave.

  A cult is a group that follows a man, or a group of men, or an ideal.
  It still fits.

  The words in Ephesians that he quotes has been translated by the WTS as mind control (mental regulating). Maybe you would do that with a young child, but remind him that we are fully grown adults with God given FREE WILL, and we don't have to be controlled anymore.

  I too just scanned the rest of the letter. What I read gave me these points.
