They change all that some 10 years ago. Now the co is supposed too appoint new elders. Base on some Bible text were Paulus went around appointing brothers. There was a Bible verse they gotten wrong and were correcting. Person has to show that he wants to help congregation and is applying fruit of spirit in his life. Plus elders that were not loving hade to be removed. This came up after the child abuse situation started. Think GB wanted to clean their hands and tell everyone they don't have anything too do with elder appointments. Must been a legal move. Before if you hade pants and married that was enough to become elder. They probably moving away from elder arrangements altogether now with online move ( don't tell current elders that have taken the vaccine about that 😁).

Organisation believes angels guard over congregations. Like in book of revelation. Not that elders are angels. Plus they believe new testament was written for the 144.000.

Would you still be angry with Lloyd Evans ?
by BettyHumpter inif instead of thailand, he had gone to a place where its legal and (supposedly) has some sort of oversight to prevent exploitation?
like nevada in the u.s or amsterdam in europe?
would the being unfaithful part still be a deal breaker as far as supporting his channel?

What's up with the Brits and there love of royalty. I never understood that. Royalty has always looked down on the peasant as they we're filth. Don't understand the admiration Brits have for them. It's just weird.

Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

Yeah we'll they seem too have forgotten that slave class Is suppose to be members of the 140000. The 140000 are supposed too rule as kings and priest. Seems logical they have to prove when they on earth they are wordy of that role. No spiritual being can come with accusations. A heavenly King is a example of agape. How they handle Child abuse cases and other things tell me this people are not much for Christian love. They seem too have thought only requirement was preaching. Besides that yeah you can claime that you are slave class and Jesus can have used you. But doesn't mean you have fullfil requirements. Plus having a slave class Is perfect, they have someone to blame everything on if things go sour.

If I remember right, the Israelites abandon there older wife's for younger ones. God was not happy about it, but he seem too have accepted situation. Don't remember Bible verses
