appointment and deletion of elders and ministerial servants.
situations that require a review of an appointed brother's qualifications.
25. committed a disfellowshipping offense years in the past and the matter was never addressed: the body of elders may de- termine he can continue to serve if the following is true: the im- morality or other serious wrongdoing occurred more than a few years ago, and he is genuinely repentant, recognizing that he should have come forward immediately when he sinned.
he bottom line is that hardly any male wants to reach out for any position,
I dont agree with that at all.
In my experience, the majority brothers want to be an elders. Most want to be looked up to, or want to not be left behind by the brothers around their own age or siblings who are already elders.
THERE WILL NEVER be a shortage of males who want power.
And Fulano is right - this is not new, been in the book for a long time.
i know some would not think about retirement.
i had one brother who would pioneer as he could afford and when he paid off his home he was about to collect social security.
he made enough that his plan was to work two to three days a week and pioneer the rest of the week.
I saved almost nothing, because the WT said we dont need to. Jah provides.
And I spent my life as an UBER JW.
So now I am in my 50s in debt and with 2 kids getting really close to college aged.
I am 100% totally fucked.
i really think time of birth influence behaviour..
such idiocy.
so after the unqualified success of my last review ( green book ) l thought that l would try again .
l went to see ford versus ferrari / le mans 66 according to where you live .
now l am no petrol head and talk of motor racing usually makes my eyes glaze over but this film is about much more than laps on a circuit .
Man Simon - we agree on nothing.

Giant Ferrari fan here, cant wait to see it!
this was cringe worthy, and yet hilarious to watch.
i'm sensing that this was a person studying with jws because she's so bad at defending the very basics.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0rcmjczeb8.
Even as a FULLY IN ELDER - I always HATED when JWs called it the TRUTH.
I always had this thing in my mind, that if it WAS the TRUTH, it wouldn't be changing constantly.
Truth doesn't change.
And when I was realy starting to have doubts, I though it was so strange when NEW LIGHT came out that INVALIDATED what be KNEW WAS TRUE for year, and people would be SOOOOO HAPPY about it.
Instead of thinking (AT BEST) I was believing and preaching an apostate idea for all these years.
Up to the point of - REALLY did it take GOD 100 years to tell us who the REAL FDS was?
Wouldn't that be like the 1st thing to get set strait?
Wouldn't that mean that we were taught doctrine for 100 years by people who were possibly NOT part of the FDS?
many years ago, we lived in a world where the one tv in your house might be black and white, perhaps color if you were lucky, but either way the screen was small and the arial on your house would struggle to deliver a decent signal but often fail in a fuzzy mess.
most of the movies you saw were old, there was no home video or rental - you got a chance to see something and then it was gone.
planning your viewing was important to make sure you didn't miss something so you'd carefully scan the tv guide to pick out your favourites ... good job there were only 2 or 3 channels to look through.. but you could still see quality if you went to the movie theatre and there you got to see glorious film on a giant screen (which is only now being equalled quality wise).
Judy Robinson as well!
this last week i stopped at an antique store that i go to now and then.
the lady who owns it is about 62 and very nice.
i was looking at a vintage 1963 ouija board.
Hmm hard to imagine that one.
I bet there is more to the story.
it has happened somewhere i know.
what is it and what does it mean.
wow Crazy! - that is true about being able to read :)

Perhaps it went to a appeals committee and they saw the first committee was wrong in their judgment.
If someone appeals - there is NO announcement made since the verdict is not in.
ONLY after any and all appeals are made and there is a decision to DF is an announcement made.
