  The End of Circuit Overseers

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure that the term "circuit overseer" will be gone soon.

  they seem to be changing vocabulary and the presiding overseer is now the "coordinator of the body of elders" and all "district overseers" will be gone in a few months.

  they used to be called "circuit servants" but they will never re-hash an old term so they will make a new term.

  Meeting Not Cancelled but Postponed

  there's a big snowstorm on the east coast and i found out that the school and service meeting was not cancelled but postponed to tomorrow.

  why do they think it's so important to have it so they ruin another evening after shoveling snow?

  just venting.....

  Christ Jesus vs Jesus Christ in RNWT

  2. bible

  i noticed in the bible reading in titus this week that that they changed one instance of christ jesus to jesus christ.

  it made me wonder why it was done and what benefit it could have in their doctrines..

  January 2014 Awake

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anyone know why it is taking so long for it to be put on on jw.org?

  it supposedly highlights the jw.org website so is there a special campaign or something?

  i would have expected it to be there already since both editions of the watchtower have been there for a while..

  Type and Antitype

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was looking for july 15th watchtower article today to use the words type and antitype but they didn't.

  i wonder when they stopped using those phrases as it seems to be a few years.

  who was the person who liked to use that word like the person who loved to use antediluvian?

  Governing Body vs Watchtower Society Directors

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since the governing body are no longer officers of the watch tower society who has the real power?

  can the governing body "fire" officers and have them removed from bethel by their own power or does it have to be done according to whatever legal regulations there are?

  with all their subsidiaries, could the watch tower directors "kick out" the governing body from bethel if they so desired?

  My introduction at the Kingdom Hall

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on sunday i was attending the kingdom hall and some visiting jw or a new jw in the area introduced himself to me.

  he obviously didn't know i was disfellwoshipped so i introduced myself to him, shook his hand and smiled.

  i wasn't particularly interested in a conversation but i wasn't about to start of saying "i'm disfellowshipped" because it was none of his business.

  2. beliefs

  starting the week of september 3rd they will cease having local announcement as part of the service meeting.

  is there going to be a much reduction of the letters sent to the congregation?

  will everyone be expected to read the bulletin board to know what is going on?

  Flash Mob at the Kingdom Hall

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wouldn't it be interesting if dozens of people showed up at a kingdom hall as part of a flash mob, not being disorderly, but to make a statement.

  maybe all raising their hands on a particular question and giving a "real comment" instead of restating the paragraph.

  or they could all leave if when one of the paragraphs says "internet bad...ignorance good".
