they picked the wrong hombre .

latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.
The GB is no longer comfortable with the "missionary position" and has decided to "pull out" before it gets messy.

just wanted to point out something that another poster brought up in the thread on the agm rumours, the writing department included a photo of a cuneiform tablet in their article on the origin of languages with a caption that states it is from 3000 bc.
this would pre-date the global flood myth and the fanciful tower of babel story altogether, hah!.
And I had read somewhere that there was a Hebrew word that could be used for sphere, but it was not and this would help show that
they (Bible writers) thought that the Earth was not a sphere.

according to the november wt study article, there a study lesson about 7 shepherds, and 8 dukes.
the interesting thing is par 17. it instructs the elders to not question the instrutions they receive during an modern day asyrian attack.
maybe some kool aid is coming.
Here is a link to JW.org where the article gets interesting around paragraph 17.

Not sure if this thought is even relevent as I am unaware of the dates the WTBTS says that the global flood happened or the Tower Of Babel was being built but the 3rd millenium would start around 2001 BCE right, not 3000 years as normally thought.

i know for us exjw's that have awakened from this religion, it seems incredulous that we ever.
could have believed we were going to live forever and never die.. not just never die, but never die, like i was raised to believe with.
the millions now living will never die, garbage.. i said that to my highly educated professional therapist last week.. her eyes got big, and she said gently as to a child, "loislane, we are all going to die".. yes, i know that now, but that is not what my religion taught and i believed, for 60 years.. any thoughts on how i explain this lunacy to her?.
See the image in lamallcool post that has the man looking into the rays of the sun and standing in a wheat field, (possibly)
I could have sworn that I have seen that image in the past on the History channel or some other educational channel that assocaited that image with the goverment of Germany back in the days of WW2. I have searched the internet for german images, man, sunrise etc but cannot seem to find it. Anyone else remember seeing this image associated with Germany during that period? If so it might fit in nicely with the idea that Rutherford was pro german.

jw-struggle is under attack by the elite team of hacking pioneers, code name facade!
their mission is to rid the organization of the "undesireable class" of people!.
facade was used during the great rebellion of 1977-1981 by eliminating any free-thinking christians.

"shepherd the flock" book - page 38 - chapter 3 par.20 ........ (talking about disqualifying servants and elders) 20. if the sin occurred before he was appointed as an elder or a ministerial servant, the elders will need to take into consideration the fact that he should have mentioned this possible impediment to his being qualified when elders interviewed him just prior to announcing his appointment.
moreover, the nature of the sin may reflect greatly on his qualifications to serve.
for example, the sin may involve past child abuse, and this would likely disqualify him for many years.-w97 1/1 pp.
If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong, but in the Shepherding the Flock book have some referenced articles in those paragraphs that discussed child abuse of a sexual nature? If this is so, it would seem that the child abuse talked about in this part of the STF elders book was not talking about spanking too hard.
