It is amazing that it took all of that work and butt kissing to get appointed and now it seems almost impossible to get un appointed! I have been trying to get un appointed or deleted for year and a half. What gives?

Thanks for the inside look i enjoyed it.
The elders at our congo put forth a change in meetings from thursday to wednesday a couple years ago. They took a vote on it which was nice and they asked everyone to write their vote on a piece of paper which I thought was great so that no pressure would be on all to vote one way or the other like usual. I wrote on the paper that if they switched then I would no longer be attending the mid week meeting since I work that night and have been for decades. Well they didn't change the meeting. Which I don't know why but it may have had something to do with the fact that I ran the mikes and the sound box and adjusted the stage all at the same time at most meetings as well as took care of the literature. lol.

April 15, 2013 Watchtower - p. 22-26: Organization-Obsessed Much???
by sd-7 inthere's a study article "make sure of the more important things", and in no uncertain terms the article makes clear that "jehovah's organization" is the most important thing.
the term "organization" or "jehovah's organization" is used a whopping 24 times in the article, including a subheading titled: "follow the example of jehovah's organization".
i thought organizations were entities, but that sort of subheading makes it seem like the organization is one giant person whose example we can follow.

Even in the last two years 2 of my grandchildren have quit school to pioneer. I fought tooth and nail over this only to lose the fight. Currently I have 2 other grandchildren living in my home and I preach furthering their education. I do this with opposition from their mother that says they must pioneer instead.
Thanks for posting this video.

Mistakes about Dates for the End
by Bob_NC inwho has read a recent wt article consenting that "expectations" about the end have not proven to be true?
the article goes on to say that this has not dampened our hope for when the end does come.
the article quotes habbakuk about jehovah's day not being late.

Thank you wt for confirming my belief that you are a false profit! Thanks also for all those scriptures you used out of context. Thanks for the stupid illastration that doesn't fit. I can't wait for the end, or should I say for your end to come.
(Deuteronomy 18:20-22) 20 "‘However, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. 21 And in case you should say in your heart: "How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?" 22 when the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With presumptuousness the prophet spoke it. You must not get frightened at him.'

Has the GB ever explained how they receive "new light" from Jehovah?
by cobaltcupcake ini remember a long time ago the explanation was that various anointed ones would write to the gb with the same new understanding of a teaching, the gb would investigate it, and if it was acceptable, they'd pass it on to the r&f.
of course, now we have the new light that new light occurs only to the gb, not the anointed at large.
so, if any anointed ones get new ideas, they're just apostates, right?.

Actually, I don't think that they have ever recieved anything except their own stupidity! No eplaining needed there!

Greetings from a new member
by EdenOne ingreetings everyone.. just wanted to say hello to everyone, being a new member from western europe.. some may know me from another forum (eden, from e-jehovas-witnesses.com), but most don't, so this is my little intro.. male, in my early 40's.
still an active member in good standing of a jehovah's witnesses congregation in my country, and honestly not planning to change that status, despite my unorthodox beliefs.
sometime i will elaborate the reason why i don't feel i must leave.
