Did the elders keep secret files on us?
by XJWBill inhowdy all,.
i've recently discovered all the great ex-jw sites on the internet, and i've enjoyed reading other people's stories.
but a few passing comments in some stories have made me wonder: do or did the elders keep files on individuals in each congregation?

I have seen such notations on the back of territory cards. This definately happens. Sometimes while going door-to-door I would accidentally knock on the wrong door, later seeing the notation on the back of the territory card. I just wonder how in the hell they tracked me down so efficiently since I gave them no information.

JW's and all other religious sheep should heed the words of one Charles Taze Russell who declared "RELIGION IS A SNARE AND A RACKETT!"
Unfortunatley for Russell, this was just a marketing slogan to him and he wanted to replace it with even more B.S.!

I was allergic to the Watchtower
by professor inas a boy, i would suffer severe attacks of sneezing, itchy eyes, and post nasal drip when i would read the watchtower.
it was especially noticable during our family watchtower study.
i began to think it was the paper its printed on.

Ginger, Mrs. Howell hasn't been much help. She just lounges around all day complaining about the hot weather.

I had an interesting thing happen to me some six years after being disfellowshipped. I had just moved into a new pad on the trendy east side of Milwaukee. I had not yet forwarded my mail and hadn't informed any JW's about my new location. I was just getting off the graveyard shift and a girl I worked with whom I was dating came over. We were going to watch a movie at my house and decided to walk over to the liquor store across the street to grab a six-pack. On the way back from the store, some JW's were doing some street witnessing and stopped us. I did not let on that I was disfellowshipped, and politely took the latest copy of the Watchtower and Awake! Then of course they wanted my address so they could do a return visit. When I told them my address, their attitude changed. They quickly ended the conversation and hurried away, as if they knew that I was disfellowshipped.
The incident stunned and frightened me, considering the possibility that the Society would keep track of me so closely. I'm convinced that they keep extensive records on everyone.
On a totally different subject, when I was a Witness at age 16, some brothers and I got together to make a telephone directory of all of the Witnesses in our congregation. When we were finished and started to hand them out, the elders approached us and sternly warned us to stop distributing the directory immediately. Their reason was that during the great tribulation, the information would fall into the hands of the authorities and it would be easier for them to track down and persecute the congregation. Years later, I realize that the real reason was that they didn't want it to be easy for ex-members to contact or send mail to the congregation members.

What is the role of the Annointed NOT on the GB?
by LDH indoes anyone have an answer to this question?
other than 'partaking', what exactly is it that 8,000 old boogers do the rest of the year?.
doesn't anyone else find it odd that out of these 8,000+ old boogers, only like 9 of them are on the gb?

The thread talks about the GB's claim that other members of the annointed (besides themselves) are in communication with Jehovah through Jesus.

What HE fortells definately DOES come to be. But what the Watchtower Society fortells usually doesn't!

I began to think it was the paper its printed on. Or perhaps my condition was induced by a subconscious trepidation of B.S. Any thoughts?
