  Back in the day….

  when I was a commuter Bethelite, i interacted in the finance area with a sister who certainly wielded authority. It was procedure in the branch office to seek her approval for certain administrative decisions that needed to be made.

  (Not that in any way do I resent that now, but it was definitely significantly ‘different’ at the time)

  Sorry, but I think it best not to name us all from that time. But I served as a director of one of the Society’s corporations and so longtime posters will understand why with personal circumstances I do not name “names”.🙂

  Cheers,

  Ozzie 🍷

  this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

  reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

  Over many many years people have blown in here, no doubt sincere in their own way, but let’s be honest you have no reason to be here. You have no connection with former Jehovah’s Witnesses do you?

  Or am I mistaken?

  So when this is announced, and excitement abounds in keen anticipation of the November JW Broadcasting program, what on earth has Isaiah 60:17 got to do with it?

  The most convoluted example of their “Bible based” theology.

  In the recording of the Annual Meeting I was particularly interested in the remarks of GB member Samuel Herd.

  Immediately before announcing the change in reporting requirements, he said: “our ministry involves much more than ‘counting time’ “

  This is exactly the point that former GB member Raymond Franz was making before his expulsion from both the GB and Bethel.

  (See his book ISOCF pp656-666)

  For this ‘insight’ Raymond Franz was expelled from the inner reaches of the Watchtower.

  Yet his insight has become “new light”.

  Did their “Jehovah” give fresh insight to this new GB or perhaps it was just a ‘slip of the tongue’ to Raymond Franz ?

  Strange indeed, but I wonder about the gun referred to in the story.

  Do dubs in the US of A have guns ??

  Wow, that sure would put them in a different place to the rest of the world’s dubs.

  let's get the fun started and put in our votes for how far down the pumpkin patch lord of the fries will fall in november.. for those keeping score, last month he started at 457 patrons, did some begging and managed to bump those numbers up to 478, but as of this writing he's down to 439.. so, how well do you think the grift will continue this month?

  let us know where you think he'll be on november 2. lucky number 420?

  will he drop back down below 400?

  I’ll stick with what the numerology of Chuckie Russell and Joe Ratherflawed led me to ‘faithfully and discreetly slavishly’ predict last month.

  Besides it’s gotta be right one day!

  397 for me.

  Cheers Toblerone5,

  The truth is he is/was too weak to actually go out and live the life he wanted. He is/was too lazy to go his own way and earn a living without the grift and his friends/marriage

  This got me curious, what was his occupation when he lived in the UK, when he was a JW ?

  i assume he must have worked at something at one time. After all, he has only been a novice elder for a short time and presumably the local BOE must have been satisfied that he was ‘of good repute’ and ‘not lazy’.

  Anyway, just curious. What a drama-filled life he has made!

  I said that cause I really thought the number would be higher than just -20. Yes I'm kind of disappointed how stupid his worshippers are.

  Me too, I'm finding it incredulous ( is that a French word ? 😀) that someone could get a few hundred people to cough up hard-earned dollars to support very little YT content.

  Well, what can I say? Was it yet another failed prophecy that I clung to, or was it simply that I didn't keep up with "new light"?

  BTW well done you guys who got it right

  Seems the (F & D S) LE is clinging on
