  Elders Manual

  by MisterP in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just found a copy of the elders handbook on another site, and before i go gun-ho with it at some members of my family, i would like to know whether anyone here can corroborate its authenticity.

  i've posted a link to it here.

  Elders often deny that this book even exists.

  Since the Conti case and all the subsequent WT statements, we can now point to a public statement by the WT where they even go so far as to openly quote from it:

  It's a shame you can't reason with her as per the recent article:

  Watchtower, February 15, 2013, p. 12, para, 18:

  "We benefit from balanced consideration of the history of Jehovah's organization. Moreover, we do well to examine our history, learn from it, and plan for the future."

  How JW act at hotels with free breakfast

  And all the while these tight fisted, social inepts are stuffing their bags with breakfast food, emptying the ice maker, cooking food in their rooms, sneaking more people into each room etc, they are proudly displaying their lapel cards for all to identify them as "Jehovah's people".

  When a life-long financially challenged family have scraped the £100's together to stay at a convention, they have never known hotel etiquette yet retain the JW sense of entitlement. No wonder the KM has to write such ridiculous reminders every single year on how to behave.

  Recorded judicial committee hearings

  by Bamidbar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe that the best way to inoculate any friend or relative of yours from becoming more deeply involved in the watchtower is exposure to recordings of the judicial process.. that goes for those already in the watchtower---if you can get them to listen.. what in your opinion are the best available online?.

  i recommend several.

  i am writing this off the cuff and do not have all the exact links, but you should find them easily.. anondud2 - on youtube.

  Not turning in time is worse than Porn.
  

  Watching it or doing it?

  Someday I'd like to see this comprehensive list of graduated offences, just to know what is the least worst and what is the very worst.
  I'd expect to see "thinking for yourself" near the top somewhere.

  Expect all future congregation donations to be made to a US branch instead of a UK one.

  There's this court document which, if I read it correctly, says the WT failed to get the case dismissed.

  Let's not allow this gem to disappear.

  The WT still have one month left before another of their pseudo-prophecies fail.

  Recall at the time how everyone was excitedly saying "Could this be the last? (wink wink)"
  I guess they will refute that ever happened now.

  Perfect opportunity to ask how much to delete.

  At what point do the teachings change from being food to being trash?

  Should you have a yearly purge to get rid of everything over ten years old?
  If so what does that mean for today's teachings, in ten years time?

  What about the books in the KHall library, should these be thrown away as well?

  If you DA yourself the announcement is the same as a DF, "xxx is no longer a JW".

  The Cong recoil in fear, you are the topic of conversation for a week with all kinds of rumours, then they run ever more from your presence.
