No wonder the elders call on my mother. Mom in her on right has a couple of large bakeries she owns and a sizable portfolio. The elders just think about all that cash they can or even use to get from the family. Since mom lives with me and my family at the villa. The elders may call or even come by. BBut just don't get anywhere with us and mom.

Elders are no longer teachers
by eyeslice inback in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.
you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.
then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

The Elders seem to be the "Police Force" of the Org.

Are there any new ideas coming from the Watchtower Society?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy brother ( who is an elder ) tries very hard to get me back to the meetings.
he calls me every time he and his son ( he's also an elder) give a public talk.
they send me the zoom i.d.

I don't think Watchtower has any talent in their departments. Their are going to have to hire out.

This week's Watchtower Study - don't complain if ...
by eyeslice indon't complain if you get kicked out of bethel after 23 years (it's really a blessing to be assigned back to the field) and don't complain if they sell your kingdom hall even if you have just invested your time and energy renovating it.. so encouraging?.

When I was a young Jw I pursued going to Bethel. But after a Bethelite who moved into the hall proved to be a real pompous azz. I changed my mind and went to college.

Biahi- Questions to ask?
What is Jw's position on sexual Child abuse and reporting it once the crime is done?
What is Jw's position on human rights Violations when it comes to shunning?
What is your position when non medical experts are giving orders on your care when come to life?

When you see them at their booth, have a group of ex Jw's ask some thought provoking questions. And watch them run! Trust me they can't handle it.

From time to time I get a cut and paste letter from those getting time in the local hall. I Could respond but what good would it do? The letters go in the trash after a laugh.

We were trained to have discussions, this new group of Jw's just direct you to a website and don't like questions. Just put up a sign.

When I walk up to any Jw's at their cart they usually start packing up and leave real quick. Especially when I start asking questions. Questions really cause problems.

Staying in physically for all the benefits
by Indoubtbigtime ini wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.
also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .
there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.

I'm with the thought that the Jw stuff is real crazy. Yeah, I did that. I grew a mind of my own and now I think about just about everything. Especially someone knocking on my door. It's all Bullshit!
