Nope....I am a woman. But I have been or am the daughter/sister/wife/mother of them.
That's a lot of elders in your life. How do you survive?

The elderly sisters are at it again.
by John Aquila inawhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.
and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.
i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

I'll tell you what else they do during afternoon shepherding calls....usually the C.O, and the COBE or another well placed elder make these calls. In between. they gossip about the other elders and the rest of the Hall and that is as they say.....when the "real" business gets done.
Millie were you and elder at one time? That is exactly what happens. I remember one time when I took the CO on afternoon calls. He made me cancel them all and we went to a pastry shop. Then he asked me to tell him of all the YOUNG SINGLE SISTERS that had committed fornication. He wanted details of the act. Which I did not have. He wanted to know if I had pictures of them. He wanted me to point them out in the Kingdom Hall. At the time I thought it was strange, but who was I to question the Apostle Paul reincarnated.
Looking back, he was a pervert.

They only way they can keep track of donations is to start tithing. That will probably be their next move. Just my two cents.I've been thinking the same thing. If they are hurting, what other choice do they have? I can hear them saying on JWTV;
"Brothers, the Governing Body is introducing a loving arrangement" $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

they are testing these men out and simply changing what they can without a big fuss.
I think this is a big deal because what these sisters are doing is not something you can get disfellowshipped for.
How can they disfellowship you for not contributing? How can they disfellowship you for changing your WILL and removing the Watchtower as a beneficiary? They can’t. What can they do if they don’t go to all the meetings and support the CO anymore? Not a thing.
This is the worst thing that can destroy a company. Covert operations. They never see it coming.
Since there is about 20 elderly sisters that are doing this, I wonder how many of them have also changed their WILLs and removed the Watchtower?
If all 20 of them have done that, we are talking Big Bucks that the WT is going to lose. Each of these sisters already have their homes paid for. Each home is worth between 100k-150k. For 20 sisters if they change their WILL, we are talking over 2 million dollars in property the WT will lose. Plus any life insurance policies? Now were are talking Millions.

The Searcher a minute ago
I just wonder to what extent their attitude is being emulated nationally - or even worldwide!
It's gotta be having a noticeable impact on many of the circuit's figures - not to mention the apathy.
Do you think this is one of the main reasons why the GB is asking outright for money on JWTV?
Is it possible that many around the world are doing the same thing and thus the former contributions are not the same as present contributions?

Awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when I was starting to wake up, I explained to my mom that when the Circuit Overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they don’t want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter. And they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks. I remember her looking at me kind of funny so I ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again. Didn’t want her to start thinking I’m an apostate.
Well I found out this morning that a bunch of elderly sisters from different congregations got together for a meal from both the English and Spanish congregations way back then and this subject came up. So several of these elderly sisters decided to put what I had said to the test.
When the CO started his rounds, like usual, the brothers would approach the elderly sisters and tell them something like this;
Sister elderly guess what? The CO is visiting our hall next week and he wants to visit you to see how you are doing and to encourage you spiritually.”
Now I know this because this is what I use to say when I was and elder and I had to make the arrangements for his schedule after lunch. I would approach the elderly, inactive, and the sick. And like always these people would prepare a feast for the CO. It was like Jesus Christ coming to visit you.
Well this time, these tiny, non-threatening, elderly sisters did something different.
They asked the brother who approached them some very unusual questions.
They asked;
“Did the Circuit Overseer ask specifically for me by my Name?” (Of course the answer was NO.)
“Since the Circuit Overseer really cares for me, can he come and visit me in the morning about 8 AM? I get real sick and tired after lunch and I need to lay down and take a nap. (Of course the answer is NO)
“Well since he really didn’t ask for me by name, and since he can’t come when I really need him to come,
then;
I GUESS NOT, He Can’t Come To Do A Shepherding Call On Me After Lunch.
And I guess this has been going on now for over a year.
And I finally figured out why the Circuit Overseer’s visits to my mom stopped about a year ago.
I had no idea!
You never know what these tiny, quiet elderly sisters are doing in the organization. You just don’t know. It seems a lot of these elderly sisters in my area have lost totally respect for that arrangement and the contribution arrangement, and will not support either one anymore. Some don’t even attend the CO's visit anymore.
That’s why if you have the opportunity to say something about some of the crazy things in the organization, by all means speak out but be discerning when to stop speaking.
This was over a year ago that all this started.

Paint, Barney, and Jehovah
by John Aquila ini made a quick run to lowes to buy some paint and ran into a brother.
he is one of those elders that is very, very, petty.
if he drops by your house unexpected and notices that your kids are watching one of the star wars movies, he will counsel you for allowing your kids to watch any movie that has to do with war he will then make sure you are not recommended for any privilege.

15 years ago CEO Scott McNealy said those famous words; “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.”
Everyone has a phone with a camera. Every day someone leaks a sex video.
Say the words Ashley Madison in a crowded room and see gallons of sweat pour from everyone’s face. No one can get away with anything anymore.
Want to go out of the country and have wild sex, surprise the next day your face is on Daily Mail.com. Want to go hunt a lion for sport, get ready for a hell of a ride for the rest of your life.
40 years ago when I became a witness, very few had any idea of all the skeletons that were piling up in the Watchtower closet. All we would hear is; “The President of the WT is giving a talk, or A Governing Body Member is giving a Talk.” We were lucky if we saw more than his face.
The only apostate book I heard of for about 30 years was;
“30 years a Watchtower Slave: That’s it.
What about today? The Shi** has hit the fan. There is stuff flying everywhere. You’re bound to get some of it on your face.
U.N., Malawi/Mexico, Molesters in the Kingdom Hall, Ray Franz waking up, hundreds of Ex-jw websites, bucket loads of stories by former JWs, more awareness of Cults, and now the beginning of exposing Child Abuse and cover ups in the organization.
These things were always there but, you could hide them and no one would ever know.
Now you can see the Governing Body Members on TV with their Gold Watches, ranting about tight pants and asking for money. The veil that covered the faces of the GB to protect the rank and file from seeing the glory they received in 1919 when God chose them has come off. Members are finding out there was no supernatural glory emitting from their faces. It was just a 2 volt battery and the juice is finally depleted.
The only ones following them will be gone in a few years. The new ones are lurking around on sites like this.
Privacy—No Way.
Keep the scandals coming; hope the next one involves a Governing Body Member. Someone with a camera is bound to be at the right place and at the right time. Just be patient, they aren’t going to turn a new leaf. They’re crooked to the core.
Famous Bible verse that the WT used to use very often, but not so much anymore.
(Ecclesiastes 1:15) That which is made crooked cannot be made straight. . .
