Elders... Examples to the flock?

by Kagloo in

a friend visited us today... it took about five minutes before we were having a general moan about the ways things are!

anyway.. these friends of ours were telling us about the things that go on in the families of elders in various congregations and how these guys are still in office.. .

now i thought that if you were 'appointed' it meant that you had god's blessing and approval... but how does that work out if you are allowing unscriptural things to go on in your own family and yet you are still in office?

Hello Kagloo,

Very interesting reading, it's something that we can relate to. For example, a while back, the P O told me to do what the elders say, whether they are right or whether they are wrong. Recently having heard of the elder who was put in prison for paedophilia, I approached the P O to remind him of his foolish statement and said it was a good job that I hadn't taken noticed of this elder (now in prison) also I asked how many Judical Hearings did this "arch-hypocrite" (words used by the Judge) sit on and judge the future life of others, while carrying on over ten years with this filthy lifestyle. These are the ones that we are supposed to have respect for - Do we really think that Jehovah is listening and backing such ones who are taking the lead in congregations,

Over 30 years of making allowances for ones with such a lack of spiritual commonsense !!

Once And For All

there are days when i want to cry.

and write "50 years a watchtower slave.

there are days i want to try.

Welcome OHappy Day !

So its been fifty years for you. We are still reeling from being duped for 30 years and we are in the process of compiling information (UN involvment, paedophiles within the cong. false prophecies and WT ownership of shares in Rand Cam engines) to show to elders who promised (weeks ago) to help us make sense of it all. We are still waiting for them!!!

The information that we need right now, is anything which may indicate the WT shareholders being Masons. There was a very good post from Gerard a few days ago, which got us thinking on this subject. Do you (or anyone else) know anything about this?

Your dad was right, keep with Jehovah, but watch out for the wolves within.

UN involvement/elders reply.

by Bosho in

several weeks ago i asked a lot of you here about the involvement with the un.

you were really helpful in your replies.

thank you.. i approached an elder who i know is "up" on that sort of thing and guess what... he had no idea!.

Hello Bosho

We received a letter from the WT London yesterday regarding the Data Protection Act enquiry that we had made, asking for any data held about us. In their reply re Data, was a very condensed acknowledgment that they had received out letter (UN, Paedophilia, 607bce) they made no other comments, perhaps they will respond separately. The elders still have not shown any concern for the dillema that we feel.

Do not forsake the gathering together ?

by KAYTEE in

we feel that "the hand on the shoulder" and "the knock on the door" could be imminent.

question - if we become a christian rather than a jw how do we view hebrews 10:23-25 "do not forsake the gathering of ourselves together....... as the day draws near".

this is a question that is bugging us at the moment.

KAYTEE

It was very good to hear of your comments, thank you.

I thought that the comment made by Hillary-step re: christians around the 70ce time, was very interesting, and of course the two or more gathered together.

Thanks Mr & Mrs Oz, it was reassuring to hear your thoughts too.

best wishes from a worn out old pommie :)

Hello Bosho

We sent our letter of strong disapproval to the London Bethell a few weeks ago re: the UN, paedophilia, 607bce prophecy, but we think that they are pleading the fifth amendment !

We had already brought up the subject with four elders in our congregation, this was many weeks ago now, but we have had no response. Had we joined the YMCA they would have been knocking on our door right away.

We await your next post with interest.

Everything comes to those who wait and WAIT and WAIT. (so they say!)

JW Properties - if sold who does the money go to

by KAYTEE in

if any new projects are built i.e.

kingdom halls, assembly halls etc.

if these were to be sold for any reason, where would the profits go to.

KAYTEE

Hey ErieGuy,

This was a flippant remark by a very new Newbie, seriously, today was the very first time that I have posted. My wife "Twinkletoes" has posted a few since July and has tried to get me to go on-line and today she succeeded. I haven't been on before, using any other name!!

Thanks to Syn, Ozzie and RR for that info. I have been reading about all of the different corporations of the WT so this seems to tie in.

By the way - how do I get to be an emperor class or even a Jedi ? :)

Bearing in mind that the labour has in many cases been given free of charge, and again as in my previous post, is there not a tax liability on such transactions?

Article on WT & its links with the US Navy

by Gerard in

jw
friends

several weeks ago i heard of the wt owning stocks on dubious companies.

i logged into this board and i got a lead to regi us inc.'s filings to the sec stating watchtower's partial ownership.

i took the leads contained within and followed the trail all the way to the us navy and us department of defense.

KAYTEE

Hi everyone,

This is my very first hello!

In response to the article regarding WT/US Navy, thanks to Gerard for such a well documented article, I will be printing it out later to study all of the points and also to pass onto another brother, whom I'm sure will be interested in it.

How can the WTBTS be registered as a religious charity, when they are using their assets in a commerical way to gain millions of dollars from warfare and yet still not be taxed on it. I'm no expert on Charity Law, but would love to hear from others regarding this matter. I thought that being part of the UN was bad enough, but it somehow fades into (almost) insignificance with this alleged scandal.

By the way what does BOD stand for?
