I needed to read that. Remaining calm yet logical is not within me yet. I still get emotional.
Why do you think the wife kept nodding? Because she agreed with you or just an acknowledgement to help you become more receptive?

Bible teach book Chapter 18, paragraph 24 - Remember, too, that you have made a dedication to Jehovah God himself, not to a work, a cause, other humans, or an organization.
I love seeing that lie from the Bible teach book highlighted in red. I always emphasized that part to my Bible students, which is why it gets under my skin. Anything you want to do in the organization, ANYTHING, is based on the exact opposite. You want to get baptized, become a pioneer, ministerial servant, elder, bethelite, traveling overseer, SAD or CA speaker, or even carry a freakin mic, you HAVE to show you are dedicated to a work, a cause (Preaching work, averaging what the elders think you should be getting, and be effective at recruiting more recruits), other humans (The GB and any brother who has to write a recommendation for you) and the organization. If you slack in any other those areas, you won't get to do squat. So that statement is a boldface LIE! And this is one of the many apps that prove it....

Blue Pill - What years were you in service?
Rebel 8 - I have met many many more stiff mannered Co's, DO's, bethelites, etc. than down to earth brothers. It would seem stiff mannered is a necessary quality. How many publisher's have to hold their tongue around such ones?

In the first paragraph, it instructs the person filling out the app to NOT submit one of these for a sister if her husband does not meet minimum qualifications of whatever capacity of service. Does that mean some brothers are not fully qualified for some assignments, but they get appointed because of their wife? As in "She would be good in the traveling work! Oh him, i guess he will do as a CO. I guess. There's no clear reason to NOT appoint him. I guess."

I messed myself up...
by MC RubberMallet inthe past few weeks have been hectic.. but i went through an experience that has messed me up since.. i met up with an old friend one day who i know went apostate.
it was a really bad day for me, which was really bad for me since i've been taking ttatt as a speed bump but still moving along in life with an ok adjustment.
he since brought a really nice house, cars, new job, everything he always wanted without feeling guilt.

Puffthedragon - How you feeling today MC?
Sorry I missed this. I am ok. The more I talk to people who've done it, the more I realize it's no biggie.
Thanks!

Is the Governing Body EVIL or IGNORANT?
by cedars insome of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.
this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.
as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.

I would say EVIL. Definitively.
Changing words in WT Library is purposeful deceit from what they originally wrote. Pure Evil
DF'g kids because they speak out about the abuse. Pure Evil.
Double talk and double standards to the demise of everyone else. Pure Evil.
The list goes on...
But for them to crap on themselves and get mad at Witnesses because they say "somethine smells", pure arrogance and evil. According to Christ's words to the Pharisees, which they fulfill, what does their own Bible say they are?

The counselor for the Thecratic Ministry School? I NEVER would have thought that, but i'll give it a try....
Just kidding! Thanks, FS!
