People just need to keep all this in the proper context. Carribean has what, few million people if that. The east coast of the U.S. has 50 times that many people or more. More people are being affected by this storm. Also its important to note that storms such as this are rare on the east coast. Additionally, the way life is structured here in the U.S we depend on all these things that people in other countries scoff at. Easy to purchase Gasoline, Grocery stores, etc. In other words you can not directly compare the eastern United States to the countries in the carribean.
Complain about America all you want but a disaster is a disaster period. Please lets keep prespective and realize that there are indivduals suffering this isnt about the government, or what country you live in.

The same month I lost my faith in God was when I was appointed an elder
by Most Noble inmy appointment came just when i started having mixed feelings about the existence of god and wt's legitimacy.
isn't it ironic?.

I am still an elder and I have been posting here for a decade. Holy spirit? lol.... are you fracking kidding. Sure they pretend to base it on the scriptural requirements but if you want to be an elder then really it boils down to:
- Who you know- especially if you have a relative on the body already
- Who's ass you kiss- CO's, CBOE's (yes they are still in charge despite what the letters and literature says) if you charm the COBOE and his core voting group on the body then you are in
- How willing you are to do shit - so many brothers nowdays especially have no interest in being responsible for anyone or anything..lazy
Did I miss anything?

Are The Governing Body Being Set Up To Take A Fall?
by DT inthe governing body's decision to declare themselves the faithful and discreet slave appears pretty arrogant and presumptuous.
since most of us regard the governing body as arrogant and presumptuous, it's easy to conclude that is the reason that they did this.. what if something else is going on?.
remember when steven unthank was able to get the faithful and discreet slave charged in australia for failing to comply with the working with children act?

Interesting idea but the WTBTS is very calculated, I am sure there is a specific reason why this was done. I think the October 1 BOE is also a calculated response to the conti case. More will be revealed with time I am sure. These people do nothing without legal consultation. I tend to agree with Rubadub, it seems that they are moving the doctrinal responsibility back to the GB/FDS to isolate the corporation i.e. $$$$ from the policy makers. I have never heard of anyone suing the College of Cardinals.

Well, I talked with two active JWs about the latest understanding of the F&DS.
by Theocratic Sedition ini know a brother who went to the most recent annual meeting.
older brother, non-annointed, elder, wife a pioneer, and overall a pretty good dude.
he let me take a peak at the new awake dropping in 2013, which by the way i have to give credit where it's due as i like the new 16 page format.

I agree. It is actually more of a big deal for xjws who are nit picking on every shitty word being excreted from the FDS asses. Not saying that I do not enjoy the nit picking because I do, but that is the truth. Most witnesses today barely study the crap from the FDS, barely read their bibles anymore, and go through the motions in their worship.

You know it when the elders read this letter, they heaved a collective sign of relief because the WT took the decision-making out of their hands and they can sleep better at night knowing that the liability buck stops at WT headquarters and not with them.
While I will agree with the statment above and others on this thread, I think that one of the reasons that the WT is making this a policy to eliminate the possibility of any reporting to any authorities. Pretty much they are saying if any of you elders want to be preumptuous and report this to the police then you will be sanctioned because it is the branch that decides if someone is a molester/pedophile and not you. The legal and service departments at Bethel know that there are many "rogue elders" out there who could possibly ignore them and go directly to the police.
This is a direct threat to these elders that you will be dealt with if you do. Its part of their pyschological terror program and yes many elders will not go with their conscience and report abuse to police. Why go through that, why put your family through that. You could be deleted or worse disfellowshipped for brazen conduct.

"Friends"
by XBEHERE inwhat can you say about the conditional friendships that being a jehovah's witness promotes?
i am still active and there are many who sh*t on me and tossed me aside because of my attitude change.
to me it just seems too easy for these people to turn on and off affection.

So annoying isnt it. These people treat you different if you miss too many meetings or don't go out in service every week. God forbid you say something questionable about the org... you will be labeled a "bad attitude" like I obviously have been.

To me it just seems too easy for these people to turn on and off affection. It really makes me believe that its all forced.
The WT promotes agape love (based on principle) not the real affectionate, care and love (philia). So with agape I guess they understand that to mean if you dont continue to follow bible (FDS) principles then JWs are allowed to treat you different or cut you off. It is really hypocritical and disgusting that they claim that they show real concern for each other when in reality its a coerced, forced "love" based on their principles.

they can be told they have the "truth" and in one day, realize everything they believed in wasn't true after all!.
