  You don’t need to do any preparation these days

  you could turn up at any meeting without even looking at material and give the item as it’s all just there for you

  He doesn’t want to pay for a translation so is asking for someone to work for free

  sounds very familiar 🤣 I wonder where he got that idea from

  This is very good news for any men who are physically in but mentally out and who are appointed because they don’t have to come off they’re appointed MS or Elder they could just stay on and keep saying no to any assignments they are given unless they feel occasionally they might want to do some of the assignments They never have to go on the ministry on first call they never have to go to meetings. They could stay on zoom or if they occasionally feel like it go to the Kingdom Hall and go to the meeting and if they feel like it and syrup and have all the association and go to the social gatherings But don’t be pushed into doing something you don’t want to do when the circuit overseer keeps asking you to do assignments just say no and when he says why not just say I’ve got too much on life is very hard if you have to earn a living yourself it’s not like those of us who have to earn a living ourselves Get a rent bills, travel food and all of their expenses paid for we have to work hard and it’s getting very difficult with the cost of living crisis

  wonder what would happen if an elder kept saying no to any assignment he was asked to do? Would he get taken off for not doing any assignments

  Nothing will happen. There are elders in my current and old congregation like this. I remember this one old brother who said he had health issues but was fine when it suited him. All he ever did was go to elders meetings and accept anything he liked the sound of like getting involved in judicial matters. But he never ever gave any talks from the platform

  It definitely is much easier to qualify to be an MS or elder. And very difficult to be removed. They are desperate for men to work for free. The majority of men still physically in don’t want to reach out as they like to call it.

  Of the men who are appointed MS or elders, so many appointed men never go on ministry and most meeting are on zoom. They also keep cancelling assignments or say they need a break from any assignment. If you say you have stress or anxiety then you can come off any assignments but it’s very hard to be removed from your position.

  It used to be if you found it was all a bit too much then you came off. Now you can stay on in name only.

  there is a real need for speakers. So much so the CO is pressuring men to do more. Some just say no, what can the CO do? The answer is nothing.

  The public talk coordinator keeps asking for brothers to give talks but the pool of speakers is getting smaller.

  sometimes we have the same visiting speakers over and over again.

  the congregation is starting to notice and say why don’t we get any new brothers it’s the same few we keep get visiting.

  the cat is out of the bag now. There are less and less brothers.

  we keep getting watchtowers and such saying the older men need to train younger men to take over. The issue is with this is that most of these older men were in this position as younger men and they never thought the system could last this long.

  the current 1914 teaching means we should not need younger men to be trained up that would mean we could still have a long time left???

  Yeah, for some people he's a hero, justifying shitty life choices and poor moral behavior. They pay a few $ to tell themselves it's "OK"

  It’s all about milking the JWs messed up his sexuality somehow as he wasn’t allowed to view porn or dirty movies as a child. Like as if this somehow gave him an excuse to be sexting underage girls and saying “all I wanted was a snog and a cuddle”

  dirty old man 🤮

  If he is gay or another name I don’t know. But yes something is not right. He is obviously perverted and has admitted to such.

  he blames his JW upbringing of course.

  those letters he wrote to that underage girl while he was married showed he was messed up. He said he just wanted to cuddle and snog her. This is so sick for a middle aged man to be talking to an underage girl like that.
