You were right - my head exploded.
I guess that's because I am deviously trying to mind my own business and be left alone by all in that cult.

Saying:
there will be news from the governing body. Don't let this news discourage you, nor let it lead you to leaving the congregation.
Is something that would NEVER be said by a CO or something coming from Bethel.

Could we use the new shunning guidelines to our advantage?
by Island Man inaccording to new, officially published guidelines, jws can now shun a person who has not been disfellowshipped from the congregation.
i see this guideline being abused by many jws who have an axe to grind with a fellow jw.
for example, let's say sister peinindiass rubs sister sensitive the wrong way.

Conventions that are out of touch with reality
by Captain Schmideo2 inwatching the news from the past few nights, i have come to the conclusion that the only convention that's crazier and more out of touch with reality than a jw convention is a us political convention.the strange-o show that is going on right now in cleveland, oh makes watching a bunker video look more sober and realistic by comparison.i have made the effort to do my civic duties as a voter, but these conventions require a devotion that is fanatical..

Should be no surprise especial since we are in the 2nd century of "fake kingdom rule"

What crime should elders report?
by kramer inso, i am trying to get my head around what the right position of elders should be when they come across crime is.. i think i get the issuess around clergy confidentiality - and how that might potentially be breached when they talk about it to other elders, let alone the police.. but if people are saying that elders - or clergy of another faith should report crime to the police when it is confessed to the, then where are the boundaries.. so if someone says they should report to police on a confessed example of child abuse, that's one thing.. how about reporting to police consensual sex between a 19year old and 15 year old - which is statutory rape in the uk.
how about criminal fraud if they come across it.
assault on a congregant?.

Well on a lighter note - I know from my congregation's body of elders - someone should report multiple and repeated crimes against the English Language. These are gods teacher?
Didn't god find someone who could speak well for Moses?
Can't he help out today:) -

*** w81 3/1 pp. 24-25 Do You Appreciate the “Faithful and Discreet Slave”? ***“WHO REALLY IS THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE?”
Even though not every individual shared in administrating the nation’s affairs, all individuals made up the one people, God’s “servant.” Only a few shared in writing or copying the Holy Scriptures, yet the apostle Paul could say of the people of Israel: “They were entrusted with the sacred pronouncements of God.” (Rom. 3:1, 2) To these belonged the covenants, the Law and the promises. (Rom. 9:3-5) So the entire nation was Jehovah’s collective, or composite, “servant,” while it, at the same time, was made up of individuals, his “witnesses.”So how interesting is that the "Current" teaching uses the EXACT reverse logic!
Who, then, is the faithful and discreet slave? In keeping with Jesus’ pattern of feeding many through the hands of a few, that slave is made up of a small group of anointed brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food during Christ’s presence.
