I don’t know how to reconcile the Watchtower statement that GB helpers are from the other sheep, with the fact that the two new appointees, who are described in the announcement as anointed, (plus Paul Gillies, also rumoured to partake) are listed as helpers in the Watchtower article. It appears to be a contradiction
I had someone explain it to me as, your appointment to the governing body IS your ANNOINTING. I don't know if this idea comes from Crisis of Conscience. As i recall the person saying this to me may have referred to it.

Ken Cook + these new guys = Start of GB 3.0
Franz dies 1992
Fleegle arrives 1991
Winder arrives 1990
Cook arrives 1984
Possbily. Cook at least has a chance of having been annointed prior to Franz death. He could have been around 27 years old. The other two- no fecking way.

They are of the anointed, because they say they are!

It’s started COBE asking all appointed men if they are fully vaccinated
by Indoubtbigtime in

there is a huge problem now in all congregations as the gb stubbornly will not do the u turn on staying fully vaccinated that many hoped they would do.. all congregations around the world the cobe has to ask all ministerial servants and elders if they are fully vaccinated (meaning no more than six months since last shot).

there is a massive problem now with many many jdubs not getting their latest boosters and not wanting to stay fully vaccinated .

but more serious than that is how the gb painted themselves into a corner with these vaccine mandates.. most governments did a u turn on the vax mandates but the gb can’t get out of this one so easily .

The vaccine requirements are for “theocratic schools” only. Things like the pioneer school, elders school (5 day and 1 day), etc.
if it doesn’t have “school” in the title, a vaccine is not required.
This is true, but CoBE were indeed told to inquire of all appointed men. Like all things, they probably didnt understand that this pertained to the limited scope of theocratic schools

If you have 5% more people than 2016, doing 24% less work than in 2018- you ACTUALLY have a 28% decline in effort (field service hours) by your organization.

question for those who had been elders on judicial committee
by enoughisenough in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was wondering if some who may have been in the judgement seat ( so to speak ) had a wake-up call while judging someone who was defending leaving jw.

( or maybe it was from reading a letter of disassociation.

) .

one of the last i was on; 15 or 16 yo girl, having regular sex with her worldy boyfriend. I was determined not to disfellowship her. My reasoning was she was a minor and kids do dumb things and make dumb decisions. But it was inevitable- she didnt want to remain a JW. Her wish was granted.
the cases that I was involved with never involved apostasy or doctrinal issues. I dealt my share of adulterers, fornicaters, smokers and at least one gambler
I'm conflicted about these. While i'm no bleeding heart liberal, i've come to see these as human behaviours that are the result of some pain or trauma. Thinking about a specific case, how does disfellowshipping a young man, who's wife had died, for fornication help him? I think often there is something that they need help with that prayer and field service won't

how do you perceive jehovah?
by stan livedeath in
1. watchtower
2. bible
what did you think god looked like when you were ( or still are ) a jw ?

or even never a jw..but believe in god ?.
luckynedpepper

I think Dr Manhattan is about the best representation of god that i have seen. The Watchers does a great job in helping portray the all-knowing, all-seeing possibility along with the idea that god ISNT watching everything you do.

Tony & JW made it to Norweigian media - even a pic of "dat broadcast"

well well am3 made it to norweigian media with hsi rant about religouse persecution.. hereis the link.. share your thoughts.. ble nektet statstøtte: jehovas vitner vurderer juridiske skritt – vårt land (vl.no) .

Problem watchtower has is they can not remove DF arrangements. They be sued all over the world by ex jws.
I just had this discussion with someone. If this is what dictates the decision, then you can NOT be a good person or organization. You quite literally have become the "evil slave"
