  They've Exposed Their Hand

  by OneFingerSalute in

  2. bible

  so the wtb&t$ have either intentionally or unwittingly exposed their hand in this mornings wt indoctrination article.. this is a direct quote from par.

  "regardless of how long we have been in the truth, we must tell others about jehovah's organization.

  " the question is, "what obligation does psalm 48: 12-14 place on us?".

  I was wondering the same thing, What does 'how long we have been in the truth' have to do with it?

  he was the school overseer but they relieved him of that to allow younger elders the privilege of the job.

  now he is depressed and actually shed tears, believing his worth has diminished.

  Old Goat:

  Thanks for the info on Separate Identity. Will read it. I wonder if Pastor Russell was really sincere in his belief because I don't think this governing body is sincere.I think they are just a ruthless business enterprise.

  So sorry about your brother being relieved of his position. Unfortunately his worth to the organization has diminished. It is apparent that the borg has no qualms about dismissing or getting rid of people who they no longer need. It is not that much different in the work force but there are laws in place to protect older workers from being discriminated against in the work force. It is a real blow to one's self esteem when we feel we are no longer worth as much as others. Hope he feels better about himself soon.

Mr Penton, the author, says he has included jws attempt to deal with 1914 and their new light on the Governing Body being Faithful and Discreet Slave in this new edition. He gives credit to Barbara Anderson for her help with research on the book. Supposed to be a great book of jw history.

  The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s

  by truthseeker in

  having just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.

  and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.

  many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

  I am 71. I left in my late 30s, I have four older sisters still in borg and three brothers who long left before I did. We know our sisters will never wake up and leave. They have too much of their life invested in it.The youngest is 75 and the oldest is 87. Too much life has passed and they cannot face life without borg.Too bad, so sad. It is what it is.
