  WTBTS literature for free or else

  by Skimmer in

  i came across this little tidbit on the united states postal rate commission web site: http://www.prc.gov/documents.asp?docid=26246.

  they reference a legal brief ( http://www.prc.gov/docs/26/26246/watchtower-brief.pdf) filed by the wtbts where the brooklyn boys want their postal rates to stay as cheap as possible.

  the brief is full of technical details, but there is one sentence of note early on in the document.

  DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#2

  deceptive jw elders case#2 .

  appointing spiritually qualified men to take the lead and serve as elders and overseers has been a feature of watch tower congregational organization since about 1972. jws were told in talks at conventions, in literature, and finally in the two versions of the organization book that the biblical criteria is used when elders meet to consider some men for appointment as an elder.

  jws are also told that these qualified men are already appointed first by holy spirit, and then as the congregation is lead by that spirit to recognize them, the elders meeting is a confirmation of what god has done.

  LOL @ Jim

  I loved the disclaimer :

  "We are concerned about those of you who haven't had a real date with a real woman since the last ice age and who have been looking at this fine piece of artificial mutton above and thinking that the Love Ewe is the answer to your sick, twisted little fantasies. We suggest that rather than making us an intimate part of your bizarre life, that you should perhaps tear yourself away from your computer for longer than it takes to open a bag of cheez-os. Go for a walk in a park, play kick-ball, watch a sunset, feel some sand between your toes, then come back and order one of these for a friend."

  (Emphasis mine)

  Would you forgive the shunners?

  if after all the years of being shunned by family , friends , would you forgive or forget them and all the misery they handed you, or maybe let them think about it for somtime before you talked to them again.

  of course this can only happen freely if they left the org.

  Definitely.

  We should think back to the time when we were JWs and how we would have avoided df'd/da'd people at all costs. Why? Because we thought we were doing the right thing. We thought we were pleasing God. So are they. They don't realise the hurt they are inflicting. Forgive them for it.

  i couldn't stay away.

  i love you guys.. abaddon's and ldh's recent posts hit close enough to home that i decided to post again.. i think the selected memory and split personalities go hand in hand.. the selected memory helps keep the cult personality happy and gleaming no matter what damage the suppression does to the real human or the real human's family and friends.. a couple of years ago i was talking about my childhood with my parents and they both acted stunned when i said i was still angry with them because they didn't want me to go to college (i gave up several scholarship offers, etc.

  to become a pioneer and eventually go to bethel).
