Designated elder to shadow talks at the meeting
by wannaexit in
1. jw
2. friends
i heard that there is an elder in each congregation that follows very closely what is being said from stage to make sure everything is being said correctly.

in all my years as a jw , i don't ever remember this at the local level.

is this something new?

2014 Year Text "Let Your Kingdom Come"
by scotoma in
1. jw
2. friends
guy pierece mentioned the years text as let your kingdom come and then dropped the line "it's been 100 years since the kingdom was established in the heavens".. that was it.

wouldn't the 2013 corp meeting be the appropriate time to be discussing that milestone - instead of waiting til 2014 is 3/4 over next october.. obviously they don't want to dwell on the 100 years because it really puts the old light about the generation in a "bad light".

doesn't a centennial deserve a proper celebration?.

Why elders' wives are such gossipers...
by Calebs Airplane in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i have a theory as to why elders' wives gossip so much.

i believe a big part of it has to do with the conversation running dry (between themselves and their elder husbands) after so many years of marriage.

since they don't get to spend too much "quality time" together (because of the elder husband's hamster wheel schedule), when they do have some intimate time alone, the elder's wives will invaribly attempt to engage their husbands in any kind of interchange.

last week a friend of mine contacted me out of the blue asking if we could have lunch together.

my friend has been studing with the jw's on and off for about 11-12 years i think.

she has told me everytime i see her that she can't wait for jehovah to end this evil world...she can't wait for the new system...the end is so close....etc.. i sent her a message back telling her that i left the jw's and asked her if she had heard that.
