Do elders have to stop after a certain age?
by LostintheFog1999 ini know from friends who are pimi that circuit overseers are taken off when they hit age 70. since most of them are long serving men it might explain why they are pushing mid-20 year old lads into the circuit work.. are there any similar age restrictions on congregation elders?
because we've known some doddery old men in the past who shouldn't have been kept on as presiding overseers but refused to relinquish their role.
does anyone know?.

Yawn.
I think you need to head over to the Roman Catholic Church Discussion forum because most pomo jws here have no time for organised religion like the RCC, or for people that just copy and paste lengthy articles from unknown sources that are so long that nobody bothers reading them to the end.

God, one person, or three?
by slimboyfat inthe trinity doctrine says god is three persons in one being.. yet the bible says god is one.. gal 3.20 a mediator, however, implies more than one party; but god is one.
niv.
gal 3.20 now a mediator is not for just one person, but god is one.

Am I right to assume that the person arguing for acceptance of belief that Jesus was and is God also accepts therefore that Mary was the Mother of God?
Not arguing, just asking.

Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness
by Ron.W. ina slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.
elder: 'yes.
i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

by slimboyfat inwhat’s keeping them?
this has got to be the latest it’s ever been.
maybe it’s the last one they’ll ever publish too, after dropping reporting hours for publishers ….

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Religion.
by LostintheFog1999 ini spotted this article on an irish news channel's webpage and thought you might have something to say about the idea.
perhaps in the future jws will replace their robotic elders with actual robots, what do you think?
we could consult with ai jesus to see what he thinks about the idea.
