Yadda... good observation... Also, if any group of people have an "interchange of encouragement", how can that NOT be mutual? These bethel letter-writers probably have a small manual of "spritual phrases" to use when they send out letters and don't even think twice about re-using the same stupid phrases over and over. There's another word they use that annoys me... "Notice Board" ... they use that phrase because they needed a more theocratic word for the widely-known "Bulletin Board"... It's all about not being a part of the world... pompous dick-heads...

Why elders' wives are such gossipers...
by Calebs Airplane ini 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.

My sincerest apologies to all those ex-elder's wives who weren't gossipers when they were in... In retrospect, I shouldn't have made such a broad generalization... In my defense, though, for over 3 decades I had nothing but gossping elder's wives around me constantly. It was really sickening to hear that brother rebel was seen having a beer in a bar or that sister sexy shows too much cleavage or that brother educated thinks he's better then everyone else... I beleieve most of this gossip had a common denominator... jealousy...

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. However, since the only remaining conversation topics of any interest (after so many years of marriage) are usually the congregation scandals, that's what they inevitably end up talking about. Afterwards, when the elders' wives find themselves alone for too long, they start calling each other up to entertain themselves and enjoy a scandalous interchange of stories in an attempt to liven up their otherwise boring lives.
But I could be wrong.

We had a CO that would drop hints during Field Circus like: "It's been a really busy week so far. I wonder if I am I ever going to have an opportunity to get my car detailed this week." Of course, he would say that out loud in front of an elder knowing all too well that this elder would immediately volunteer to take the CO's car to the detailer right after Field Circus.

Evidently, that's a Bethel fork. I could tell by the official Watchtower place mat.

by Calebs Airplane indid anyone notice that large portions of the july 15, 2011 mentally diseased article is being read word-for-word in the 2013 disctrict convention symposium talk beware of human apostates?.
if you havent already see this thread which contains an actual recording.... the moron in the recording is actually reading directly from the watchtower article... word-for-word... yet another perfect example of information control found in most destructive cults... .
by the way, did anyone also catch what he said about those who woke up after the 1975 fiasco.

By the way, did anyone also catch what he said about those who woke up after the 1975 fiasco. Instead of saying: "Some brothers stumbled after selling their homes to pioneer and ending up flat broke", they're saying: "Some brothers thought it was beneath their dignity to go door-to-door."
These bastards have some f++king balls twisting the facts to suit their agenda...

Nothing new... Christianity has been about Protestants versus Catholics for over 500 years...
Hebrews versus Romans
Jews versus Italians
In the JW DVD "Faith In Action" (2010) this is illustrated various times throughout the video.
For example, it presents several famous freemasons such as John Coustos (a Portuguese Grand Master from Lisbon circa 1740). The DVD actually shows 2 illustrations of Coustos being tortured by Catholic Priests while the JW "narrator" denounces historic abuse from the clergy.

Diana... here's the gist of it...
In the early 80's, Raymond Franz exposed many lies printed in WT literature. Many One of the major lies was that all of the annointed worldwide were somehow communicating progressive Nu-Lite to the Governing Body. The Governing Body would then process this Nu-Lite and have it printed. Raymond discovered this to be completely false after he became a member of the Governing Body. He quickly learned that the GB did NOT even care to know who was of the annointed unless it was a brother who happened to be a CO or DO. But even if they did know and acknowledge some of the annointed, they would accept any input from them either.
So as part of "damage control" they are sinking this teaching in murky waters using an ambiguous play of words that most witnesses will not understand or even care to understand...
