Something must be wrong with the firearms I own. In nearly sixty years not a single one of them has ever jumped up, loaded itself, marched out and shot anybody. One has though been in my hand and stopped a home burglary in progress until police arrived. And several rifles have provided wild game for the table.

Re: Music at Theocratic Events
by pixel inthis is a crappy letter from the watchtower.
i'm only posting it to show how micro-managers these fools are.
and at the end, they say: "we should avoid making specific rules about somewhat technical matters".

Very Offensive Statement Directed To JW Parents-Watchtower 4/15/2015 Page 11 Paragraph 9
by JW GoneBad inwt is insinuating, worse yet, blaming senior jw parents for there not being more younger brothers reaching out to be ministerial servants and elders.
page 11 paragraph 9 reads as follows: .
"elders in affluent lands may face an added challenge: how to motivate baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to get involved in congregation activities.

I couldn't help but to give a snort of irritation when the footnote was read saying that if they were "mature" and met the "scriptural" qualifications then even teenage brothers could be appointed.
That is reassuring. After all if they are dunked at six, there is no reason they cant make MS by ten and elder by fifteen!
Dumb-asses!!
I guess the fifty years I spent on the hamster wheel just wasn't long enough, or my nose wasn't brown enough, or I didn't give enough green hand shakes or whatever the heII it was. Thank god I finally got smart and DISENGAGED and quit chasing the carrot!

For personal reasons I still attend. I noticed this condescending term and made mention of it to one of the now very elderly family members for whom I still attend (for the time being).
They could not believe that the WTB&T$ would use terms like that. So I showed them the article and then asked, "I wonder why the WT$ is making another layer of class distinction among the brothers?" They were as disgusted as I.

McKinney Texas pool party?
by Marvin Shilmer inso today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.
my response: it shows a clash of expectations.
i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

Oh and if you didn't know cops use hollow point bullets so their chances of killing someone with one shot is greatly increased.
That is a very common misconception held by people ignorant of bullet balistics, so your ignorance of facts will be excused.
Hollow points are used not to increase the "kill" ratio, but because they expand rapidly, thereby not going through and through. The majority of police, whom some of you seem to hate, and contrary to your beliefs, do not want to kill. And when they are forced into an armed confrontation where they have only thousandths of a second to make a shoot or not decision, they do not want bullets going through the CRIMINALS and injuring civilians, but to safely and quickly neutralize the threat to themselves and even YOU.

Most GBers, living a relatively cushy life, make it well into their 80's or 90's.
Can't remember exactly where but just recently I heard the comment that "humble elders will train younger men to fill their positions, and then modestly step aside.
I wonder how soon those old guys on the governing body will do what they told others to do? -

Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A
by OneFingerSalute inso this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.
the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.
he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

if the GB stuck to the qualifications listed in the 1Tim 3 and Titus 1 then more 'would' qualify.
True enough. Actually there isn't a baptized male that wouldn't qualify IF those Bible qualifications alone were strictly, and consistently adhered too. It is the imperfect humans who go beyond what is written in their personal interpretations of those scriptures that twist them into something that many males will never meet.
