  are the witnesses now considered "clergy " ?

  by lancelink in

  years ago when i was a jw, one of their cornerstone teachings was that they were nothing like babylon the great.

  i remember being taught that the witnesses not using any type of clergy class distinction was proof that they had the right religion.. well, recently we had this article in the local paper, and an elder who was no doubt the presiding overseer tried to use the clergy class excuse to get out of answering questions regarding a child abuse case.

  here is the statement that really got to me.

  Watchtower has always desired to be Clergy.

  Check the articles, they always say that they have no “PAID clergy”

  Remember the caveat.

  atlantis posted: 2019--16 leaked videos!.

  here is my review after watching the ''roles and responsibilities video''.

  the video begins with ''congregation members willingly contribute their money to ''jehovah'' to advance kingdom interests.''.

  Jesus sent the disciples to the lake and God sent a fish with cash.

  Watchtower can’t seem to get enough of Caesar’s money.

  Ewart Chitty

  ewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.

  the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.

  the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.

  I want to thank everyone who told their story here. It was quite informative.

  I only spent a short time at one large branch on construction work. They had just changed the rules about dining in a suit. They made a separate room for meals for those who were working construction.

  They wanted to get the work done and quickly figured out that tradesmen aren’t going for all that horseshit. And the work wasn’t getting done, what with all the stoppages.

  I didn’t see any drinking on site, but many were going out to bars at night.

  So long ago ...that wasted time.

  if you are a jw in the us or canada, you probably already know about "khconf".

  it is a business that has been set up (presumably by some jws somewhere) that supplies call-in numbers and teleconferencing for shut-ins to listen to kingdom hall meetings.. they have their own website: www.khconf.com.. .

  what i didn't know is how much they've spread!

  Murmurs from the locals

  i was ministered to by several different people at a jw funeral i attended today.

  one older lady said to me, "you know the end is right around the corner, just look at the state of the world today".

  i said, "well yes but that has been the mantra for decades, remember 'stay alive till '75'".

  Remember the Alamos. Or in this case, Jerusalem 70AD.

  Those hard headed Jews went down with the ship, and as Josephus tells it, it was brutal.

  Expect nothing less from brain dead dubs.

  Is this something new?

  just heard from a friend who keeps in touch with the jw's.

  a person who has been studying found out some things on line about the witnesses and decided to not get baptized and stopped attending the meetings.

  she lives with a witness.

  When the WT kicks you out, they say that you should be treated as “a person of the world”, a catch phrase for SHUN.

  I would be completely pleased if WT were to treat “persons of the world...” as “persons of the world...”
