i posted a thread yesterday about my elder husband putting the publishing plant first, and i was reminded that not all elders do that.
that is very true, i know that and i pointed it out to my husband many times though it did not good.
but the elders are told over and over to the brog first and it reminded me of an experience that they had at the last dc i went to in 2009.. they had a family on the stage the husband was an elder of course, they had i believe three kids if not four.
*** lv p. 210 Head Coverings—When and Why? ***If she were to pray or to teach in the presence of her minor baptized son, she would likewise wear a head covering, not because he is the head of the family, but because of the authority granted to baptized male members of the Christian congregation.
this one used to make me laugh,

camilla hit by rioter through car window as protesters attack royals .
the duchess of cornwall was physically attacked through an open car window as thugs rampaged in london, the standard can reveal today.. a rioter managed to push a stick into the royal limousine and jab her in the ribs.
camilla's terrifying ordeal came as a baying mob surrounded her and husband prince charles when they rode through central london in the vintage rolls-royce last night.
One witness described how the Prince had wound down his window to try to distract the protesters by waving as he tried to protect his wife. ...
...
The Prince, wearing a dinner jacket, raised the window again after a police outrider shouted: “Sir, put the window up.” Moments later the window shattered after being hit by another missile, said by one witness to have been a brick.

jehovah's witness elders lie and call police.
on october 31, 2010 jehovah's witnesses elders lie when asked by charles huff, also a jehovah's witness, if they shun ex-members of the jehovah's witnesses' religion.
10 out of 10 to them for coming across as reasonable and friendly while dealing with a confrontational person.
we interrupt your forum posting for this 'just in' item...... it appears an elder has not locked his doctor's bag and a member of the conscious class has brazeningly swiped & scanned a copy of the s-55e.
(((thank you anonymous cc jw!.
for the purpose of our bethel audience i want to assure you no actual elder was willingly involved in the obtaining of this scan.. link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/mnf7a0.
Parents can inform the court that they are refusing blood on deeply held religious grounds but are not refusing medical care and have no intention of "martyring" their child. This setting may not be the best time for parents to mention their strong faith in the resurrection, as this may convince the judge that they are unreasonable.
theocratic warfare (its not lying, theyre just not worthy of being informed) at its very best.
it's creepy that they require you to "study" for all meetings and show that you "underlined" to get reinstated.. think about that for a second.
before they let you back in they make you prove that you have been at least partially re-indoctrinated.. i mean, in the end, what does "underlining" really prove?
true repentance?
I write what I agree with and what I don't. Half of what I write is my own thoughts. But I guess it doesn't matter as long as it looks like I am being indoctrinated...
indoctrinated people dont have their own thoughts, i'd leave those disagreeing thoughts out, they just show your heart condition isn't in accordance to requirements.

i'm feeling a bit sorry for the boyfriend, he probably needs more help than her, all he got was induction into jw demon paranoia which was probably the last thing he needed with his condition.
i read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".
she's an intelligent woman.
however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).
'indifferent' would cover it.
