@Time Bandit Sorry you are having to deal with the conduct of badly behaving non-christians. I will pray she sees the "light" and open's her numb heart, this kind of teaching plays on weak minds.
@Blondie You applied yourself with your whole heart, mind and soul (hubby too) and you were treated like trash, why is there so much darkness with these robots? These men and women, have Bible-truth-cateracts and I am trying to learn how to help ones, seeking the "truth about the truth". What excuses did the "unconditional loving brotherhood" give, for their unchristian conduct to you both?

Metallica, Billy were you at Bethel when a dozen or so brothers were expelled for listening to Metallica? We had two Bethelites return to home base, saying "they were kicked out for listening to Heavy Metal, and refused to conform." Would Bethel really kick brothers out for listening to the wrong music, or was it something else?
No more!
the craps rolls out your mouth again
haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
little whispers circle around your head
why don't you worry about yourself instead
who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
you lie so much you believe yourself
judge not lest ye be judged yourself
holier than thou
you are
holier than thou
you are
you know not
before you judge me take a look at you
can't you find somethig better to do
point the finger, slow to understand
arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
it's not who you are it's who you know
others lives are the basis of your own
burn your bridges build them back with wealth
judge not lest ye be judged yourself
holier than thou
you are
holier than thou
you are
you know not
Metallica Holier Than Thou

I love the part about "Their JW family and relatives will get the hint!, Shun Shun!" If they don't get the hint' some helpful elder will make the absentee JW's conduct available by calling or spreading their sins via the grapevine!
"Telephone, Tell-a-Friend ,Tell-an-elder" equals going "Viral in the JW Comunity!" They won't leave you alone, you are a publisher card that needs to be pigeon holed, so your leaven does not turn the congregation into Sour Dough bread!

Does anyone else think there is less and less JW and religious content on this site each year?
by yadda yadda 2 ini may be wrong but it seems that with each passing year the number of real jw and religious related threads gets less and less on this site..

For Lurkers and Newbies, "How Are Kingdom Hall Elders Appointed By The Holy Spirit?"
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inas previously requested by a fellow jwn, i will post a topic about "jw stuff", so "newbies, lurkers and recently bittered souls" are able to discern how the watchtower society's statement about "elders being appointed by holy spirit" is not true.. according to the holy bible, these are the requirements for being appointed an elder by men, men who are suppose to observe if their hand picked elder is obeying god's word.. 1 timothy 3 "living bible translation".
"3 this is a trustworthy saying: "if someone aspires to be an elder,[a] he desires an honorable position.
" 2 so an elder must be a man whose life is above reproach.

"All It Takes For Evil To Suceed Is For Good Men To Do Nothing". Who said this?
St. Paul's statement in 1 Timothy 3: creates some very large barriers to entry, to become an overseer of the Hall. The Bible's requirements for entry are very high, but we both know, those are not the ones we need to worry about, it's man made ones we need to become enslaved to.
Like J.As comments to one elder you know "Unless your spouse adjust her attitude, you won't be an elder" her attidude was not a lack of christian application, it was something J.A did not like! Now, I suppose I lost my cheerfulness of how elders were appointed when I saw personal attacks carried out on long time servants of Jehovah. If there are more good elders than bad, why are the Halls in disaray, people complaining about Shepherding Calls only taking place before a CO comes to town (Or at least one scheduled, until he leaves, it's on our list to do CO!) , to show how much the BOE cares?
The cowards who were afraid to stand up to the Hall Bully, what can we say about them? Hoorah for keeping a low profile while brothers or sisters are "Pinkertoned" but our body of elders say "We sure work together greatly, if you don't believe, ask the CO himself!" The CO did not know the brother he hand picked for an assembly part, previously handed fliers out in the parkinglot on Apostate material. Once he got his assembly part, he rejoined Jehovah's Happy people and stopped (placing fliers on cars) his work, because he received the glory he wanted! Three of the elders on the body know he did this, but they are to meek to call him on it! Now that's ugly, but how this Org brings out the madness of annointed men!
Right now we have elders jumping from Hall to Hall, trying to fit into this madness, whether they are "Captive Of A Concept" does not free them of their moral obligation to do justice. During the Neuremberg Trials when Hitler's henchmen attemtped to justify the evil they inflected on their fellow men, their defence "We were obeying Hitler (Captive to the NAZI Concept) and our country!" did not sway the justices, who replied "You should have upheld the higher law of humanity, not blind obedience to evil." End result, they were executed or put in prison for life!
Unfortunate, ugly or bitter as this might be, there are too many elders who are not willing to challenge the evil deeds taking place, the petty agendas being lobbied against murmuring ones. The saying in business is "Shit Rolls Down Hill, Not Up!" We are not a "Bottom's Up" but a Top's Down Organization, Caste System, Class Distinctions are praised because it sets "Holy Joe" on a pedestal while Sally Slump-in-Hours is looked at as weak, and our silent partner elders will be quick to praise "Holy Joe" over "Sally-Slump-In-Hours" any day. I watched this shit since 1972, and only a few stand out as truly praise worthly and Sheep Caring Men.
