  I would've been excited if the Regional Convention's were reduced to 2 days. That would've been a good change

  psychology class is teaching me so much.

  it's a core class, as i want to study medicine or biochemistry eventually.

  we were assigned to read about obedience.

  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.

  Such personal interest springs from genuine friendship and
  brotherly affection.

  i received an email from a jw that got married, but the wife never had sex with him.

  they were together for a period of years.

  he told the elders, but they said there was nothing that could be done.

  The fact that this thread even exists is a testament to how ridiculous this religion is. I mean seriously?! lol

  Did You Ever Learn Anything From The Meetings?

  by minimus in

  i found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.

  before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.

  the meetings were pretty interesting.

  Occasionally a decent speaker will give a public talk that is pretty good, they might bring out sound scriptural counsel that is actually beneficial not doctrinal. These are very rare...once a year if that.

  Beyond this... lol are you fcuking kidding! Most people in attendance at meetings are asleep while their eyes are open... sometimes not even open.
