I really don't think the majority of JW's would do it if ordered. Perhaps the Witnesses of the 1960's, or 70's...maybe 80's. Now, no way. Things are different these days, I can sense it when speaking to people.

I really believe many JWs are just going through the motions most of the time and they are hoping that the GB is right about things. Deep down they could care less. The kingdom is far away for all but the most hard-core JWs these days. That being said, I am sure that there are also wacko's that would kill if so ordered by the 8 cylon's at HQ.

What do DO's do when not visiting assemblies?

let's say they attend a dozen circuit assemblies.

that's only 12 weeks they spend with a congregation.

what about the rest of the year?

They police the CO's and elder bodies within a district. I know this because a friend of mine was on a body several years back and he told me that they had numerous problems...internal fighting, backbiting, slandering, you know the usual elder stuff but this one got out of hand.

The CO tried to deal with it without success so letters were written back and forth to the WTS he said and the end result was the entire body, along with the CO would go before the DO. He said people were removed, some moved, other elders were sent in. Apparently this type of stuff happens more than publishers realize.

I am just not sure that the GB really understands how stressful it is to serve as an elder and hold down a full time job and handle everything else, especially if an elder is a family man.

This is why the WT should just pay a selected few to be the minister and a deacon or two and be done with it. The elder arrangement is flawed fro the outset. Ephesians 4:11 clearly says that only some would fill certain roles. Nowhere in the bible that I know of prevents a paid clergy class...does it?

Agreed, only the truly anal, kiss ass, suck up, have to please the CO elders will follow through with this. Its very telling that they need to remind elders of these things. lol....

Do they really need to be reminded of this. You know how they will fix this, pay a minister and a couple of deacons (ministerial servants) in each congregation to handle these duties full time.
