they mean the leadership.
all of this is code for: one who is not ready to really study and accept how the leadership of jehovah's witnesses use the bible to their own self serving means.
but to be fair, jw's teach that most all of these characters refer to the leadership of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body.
awesome to read this thread again. Thanks go the "bumper" and thanks to ATJ for sharing his awesome experience!
my sister-in-law has recently gone back to the org :-(.
she has been wearing trousers (pants to us members ) now she has been told to expect a shepherding call from one of the elders about her style of dress!.
has anyone any good ideas or even scriptural comments that she could use.. .

no argument necessary. Either she stops wearing pants or she is rebellious.
The WTS says sisters must wear skirts below the knee or dresses. Do it or be marked.
period.
sugested lead article title:.
f*@k we were wrong!
now is the hour to go to sleep.
that is what my son said to me this morning during a further discussion on yesterdays wt study, and upon learning that the 1978 light is back.. i can only blame myself.
What a fine example of spiritual "tacking".......right back to starting line!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
would they have d.fed as an apostate???
?.
to this vary day if you say that the "new system" could be 20-30 years away you would be counseled for a bad attitude.
after the last generation change this point was clearly driven home at our CA by our CO. TO paraphrase "we would NOT conclude that the new system could be 20 or 30 years away, that would be very dangerous to think such a thing"
such BS
as many of us are aware the wt society has done quite nicely in a material way for themselves.
the sales of properties of the former " bethel " in brooklyn amassed them millions of more $$$$ .
they have relocated into upstate new york and are building like wildmen.
I quit a job b/c I was going to be put on afternoon shift which meant missing meetings. This was literally the single best employer in my city and extremley difficult to get into.
The look on people's faces when I told them I actually quit my job there was complete disbelief. If I had stayed there I would have had a full retirement with benefits indexed to inflation for life by age 48 !!! (30 years and out baby!) Now I will work until I am in a box.
because i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.
(weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.
at the end i hated being there..
MINIMUS!!
Ahhh, the car groups!
If you were in a crappy car group, you knew where you were on the Theocratic Ladder!
so true!!!
I remember a buddy of mine was out on a weekday with his family and a bethelite couple visited our KH that week. 2 Elders and their wives crammed themselves and the 2 bethelites into a 6 seater van and sent my buddy out with just his family. they were so discouraged when they were driving to the territory they just drove home.
oh the theocratic ladder is alive and well!

i did it and I was okay at too, but I hated every second of it... even when I pioneered I loathed it.
I used to long for the paradase so I would never have to knock on doors again. oh yes! that WOULD be paradise!
