  Talk about depressed

  my wife is preparing to spend hundreds on a lap top to take into the field service.

  i carefully mentioned that the wts has gone from condemning the web to now using it.. her reply" no they never condemned it just said to people to be careful in using it".

  my memories of convention speakers must be different and" this is the way things are now; its all downloaded from the web".. with that as a given then why isnt the wts issuing computers to any one who wants one?

  What Drew You To The Witnesses?

  i did believe for the first 30 years of my life that they had been picked by jehovah god to dispense the truth as best as imperfect humans could.

  then, everything became questionable.

  i had read anti jw books in the past but franz's books really got to me but not immediately.

  i have been reading the posts on who is and or had been an elder.

  it amazes me at what many have said.

  perhaps i have misunderstood what they were saying.

  Ben, if Holy Spirit is involved in appointments only insofar as the canidates honesty and how those recommending him discern that he meets the Bible qualifications, then couldn't a qualified man in ANY church be said to have been appointed by Holy Spirit as well?

  Just wanting clarification on the RBC

  by joe134cd in

  i have been reading threads about how the rbc operates, so i sort of have a fair idea of what the answers will be.

  but i would like to have a more direct answer to my questions.. where do the orders come from that a hall is in need of a remodel, or a new one to be built.. can the elders refuse a remodel or quickly built.. out side contractors are only allowed with rbc approval.

  what are the consequences if say a kh needed a new roof, and secular contractor was hired.. is it a case that orders a given that a hall needs a remodel, and that the rbc will have total control, and look out for who ever gets in the way, and elders just have to simply comply.. this is the question i most want answered.

  The Menlo Park debacle was the tipping point that slapped hubby and me upside the head and woke us up! This issue is important for all lurkers to examine. Does it make sense that Jehovah would use his spirit to direct His organization to defraud the poor, elderly, widows, and the rest of his little sheep? How would Jesus view fleecing the flock?

  As an adult I am not ashamed as I realize I couldn't choose to be born into a cult. Steve Hassan made me understand the mind control we were bombarded with at every meeting and publication. However, as a child I was MORTIFIED more than once. I would often wish to God this wierd religion I belonged to was not the "truth".

  Ben, whether or not these men are appointed by Holy Spirit would you place your life in their hands? I was always taught that the Elders are the ones that we would have to depend on in case of persecution and/or protect and guide us through the "Great tribulation". If appointments depend on appearences then do you feel lucky?
