  by Tenacious in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i never had the privilege to serve at bethel .. therefore, community help is greatly appreciated friends.. do the gb members have their own living quarters separate from the average jw?.

  does their "busy" schedule permit field service, if yes, how many hours a month?.

  how long are their weekly wednesday meetings?.

  When I served in Brooklyn I saw Jaracz, Shroeder and their wives out doing street work, not together, a few times in downtown Brooklyn.

  1 Corinthians 11:3

  rnwt "but i want you to know that the head of every man is the christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn, the head of the christ is god.".

  sexism aside, how does the wt/gb explain their absolute power over the sheeples based on this scripture?

  where are they located in the model listed in that scrtipture?

  Agreed, all of it is good. Try to find the time, I sneaked around and read it in about 4 days and I am mentally free now. Physically is taking much, much, much, much, much longer than 4 days.

  Elders: Born-Ins vs Recruits

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is an unofficial survey.. was curious as to the number of currently serving elders who were born-in and/or raised as jw versus those who were "recruited"( i.e, not born in or raised as jw.).

  for instance, right now in the hall i am assigned to:.

  2 elders were born-in and/or raised as jws.. 5 were not (recruited as adults).

  Since Elders And Mini Servants Have To Be Exemplary How Does Anyone Ever Qualify?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to me that you must be almost perfect to be a " servant" in the organization today.

  no college, no spiritually weak in the family, no disfellowshipped living at home, no tight pants, etc......who can live up to their lofty ideals?.

  It all has to do with what is considered "exemplary". As a former elder Min you must know what I am referring to, and it varies from congregation to congregation. By the way this only applies to Joe Schmo brothers. Once you are a pioneer or even better a Bethelite you are automatically exemplary and nothing can change that as long as you remain with those privleges. Pioneer and Bethelite brothers know more than publishers, they are automatically more spiritual, and immediately qualify for any other and all appointments.

  Changed: Head coverings for sisters, w15 2/15 QFR

  by wifibandit in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.

  in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.

  further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.

  Is Anthony Morris III gay?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.

  nothing wrong with being gay.

  but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .

  George Couch who was a prominent heavy at Bethel for decades used to always bring up "homo's and lesbo's" in his morning worship comments. This is nothing new, AM3 was basically speaking to the the entire US Branch as if he was at a morning worship or lecture to the Bethel family. They are used to it already and I am sure if you were to speak to some Bethelites they would tell you that this is common place and the Branch Meeting was even tame.

  How to Knock Nazi Elders off their high horse

  by suavojr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the borg has many inconsistencies, when the topic is helping humble and honest people achieve their full potential.

  consider a working man who works 40 to 60 hours a week and still manages to show up to all the meetings, participate, do all of his assigned work within the kh, but his ministry has slipped to 8 hours per month.

  this same man is working hard to move up within the ranks only to get shut down without even knowing.. .

  The elders are given vaugue instructions such as "the person being used for privleges must be exemplary" the problem is the word exemplary. What the hell does that even mean in JW terms anyway??

  I remember elders meetings being dragged out for hours discussing if baptized brothers are exemplary enough to hold microphones, pray, read for the Bible Study... but not the WT Study, etc. etc. It is completely ridiculous. The problem is manifested in your dilema, different elders have different idea's of what exemplary is. In your case, that elder is rogue which means that he is being allowed to do these things and is not necessarily being sanctioned by the entire body of elders.

  The COBE clearly has lost control no doubt because this rogue is connected in some way to the CO, the rest of the body, or the branch. Good luck with that!

  no doubt you have heard about the nurse that thumbed her nose to the state and went out of the house in spite of being ordered to stay at home.

  what is your opinion on this?.

  Yes they do. I don't care if they have signs of infection or not. What happens if she was infected but not showing symptoms.. they say that its not infectious in that case but what if the virus mutated as they so often do. Better safe than sorry
