Lol DD,
I just hope you got your fill of it
i pulled up the notes from one of the more weird judical committe topics, this is the garbage your elders had to handle!.
the mind games played by one of the elderettes come's to mind, she was speaking to a sister that was suffering from severe anxiety and helped our depressed sister draw the conclusion that "sister depressed's husband is trying to poisoning her!
" off goes this once pretty and smart woman, she went to college and got her license to draw blood because she wanted to test it for arsenic and polonium (around the time that russian guy got off ed by vladimir putin).

As an appointed elder at 25, a 50 year old ms asked me if it was OK for his wife to give him oral.
I assumed he meant in the privacy of his own home and not right here at the hall, so I told him to go for it but don't broadcast it.
I never really understood why anyone would ask about this sort of thing to a relative stranger.

pay attention to what you are told, and how it is presented.. what is the actual message being communicated?
what is the intention behind it?.
this 128-page book millions now living will never die, was placed with the people on a contribution of 25c a copy.. .
In 1920 there were approximately 25,000 attending the memorial and partaking.
Who exactly were these 'millions' that the book speaks about?

a little experience that happened very recently:.
another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.
they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.
Apognophos Sorry, that's wrong.
I stand corrected.
w13 July "It is noteworthy that in Jesus’ illustration, the faithful and discreet slave receives two distinct appointments. The first is over the domestics; the second is over all the master’s belongings."
Those two distinct appointments are so clear from Jesus words. The first in 1919 and the second yet future.
I don't know how I missed that!

following on from this post - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/282716/1/is-this-the-big-change - my info is that the service meeting items next week are to be reduced by 5 minutes each to allow the cobe to present the secret item to the flock!.
also, no one, not even the cobe knows what the subject matter is yet.. everyone here should be ashamed of themselves for making the glorious ones in brooklyn more secretive than opus dei or the freemasons!!
:).
Blondie I bet the COBOE does know and lies saying he doesn't
It's not lying if the person is not entitled to know, it's theocratic warfare!

transcript of the talk from the 2014 uk district convention (aug 2014).. sunday morning.. symposium: anticipate future kingdom blessings!
(part 6 "new scrolls").
(speaker not known).
I just KNEW that The Searcher would turn up on page one!
I was thinking of Searcher when I transcribed and posted this
this was telling from a recent wt:.

you have probably noticed that many clergymen today use religion to elevate themselves with high-sounding titles and to obtain money from their flocks.
At the convention I heard frequent references to Pioneer Elder blahblahblah.
It's not enough to be called an elder if you are pioneering it seems. The higher status should be advertised.

Until the revision to the FDS teaching in July 2013, it used to be taught that all members of the anointed and other sheep were under the ownership of the FDS, since they were appointed over them all in 1919 (w09 2/15 p.24 par.3)
Now that is no longer the case.
As such you can reply that the GB have not been appointed over us yet - they have not been insepcted and rewarded. Until that happens, Jesus wouldn't want us to put our full faith in anyone else but himself, and test everything we are taught.

No comments from a year ago.
Maybe it was before it's time, but it seems topical now seeing that September will have the Governing Body asking UK congregations for more money for the new bethel.
