There's no such position.
If he's an elder then he's a trustee.
I think he covets having a meaningful job, and feels the need to sound important.

10Director of XYZ Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, Inc.
by cognisonance ini googled my childhood best friend that i grew up with in the cult.
he's my age and has shunned me for the past 4 years despite my efforts to reach out to him.today, i noticed a listing online that states he is a director of his congregation.
i suppose only elders can fill this position (he wasn't an elder when i was a jw).

Jesus was NOT talking to ANOINTED people when he said these words. Asshole!
02:05 - "Who was he talking to? He was still talking to his disciples. So the WT made clear it was not the wicked, it was the anointed who saw the sign that would make up This Generation."
No wonder he was so nervous, trying to sneak this through!
Bad helper!

Ex-Jehovah's Witness elder jailed for sex assaults on schoolgirl
by LevelThePlayingField inthis is becoming more common.
this is from the last part of the article: .
"this was about sexual gratification and you are a hypocrite because you became an elder and you investigated a sexual matter even with this in your sexual background.".

It surprises me that he was df'd.
Clearly this wasn't a religious decision but a PR one, since he does not fulfill the criteria for getting df'd.
Like all of these cases it would have been referred to the Legal department, so it seems the instructions they give are now more about damage limitation than 'helping an erring one return to the flock'.
Forget about the elders guidebook, legal are calling the shots.

the disbanding of the Portishead congregation and the closure of the hall they shared with Clevedon.
I'm wondering why this congregation is disbanded. Is it due to lack of attendance, merging congregations to sell a hall, or something else?

How Comfortable Are The Governing Body At Headquarter After This Massive Lay Off?
by Brokeback Watchtower inthis lay off and all the child molestation lawsuits coming to a head with more lay off in the wings.
i'm sure there is a lot of concern going on among those still there.
i'm sure a lot are finding out for the first time that the governing body are all frauds by doing secure internet searches to find out just how much they been had by these villans , i think the situation could be dangerous (the possibility exist).

Jesus said in Mt 25:41 "Go away from me, you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil."
What would cause Jesus to issue such a strong condemnation? The following verses explain "You gave me nothing to eat or drink, you did not show hospitality to me or take care of me."
By saying "me" Jesus explained that doing things to his brothers is the same as doing things to him.
If the GB kick out any old anointed from any bethel, they fulfil Jesus description perfectly and are cursed in his eyes.

"Obey" or "Be persuaded" at Hebrews 13.17
by Wonderment invarious posters have apparently concluded that the wt society is wrong by quoting hebrews 13.17 as a reason for christians to submit to, and be "obedient" to those taking the lead among them.
they have pointed out that the greek word for obedience is "hypakouo" or some other, not "pei'tho" which is the one that appears in the beginning of verse 17 at hebrews ch.
their motive for their objections may be one of rancor brought about by the extreme authoritative measures the society have imposed on the brotherhood.

Good topic Wonderment.
If the English word doesn't exist to accurately translate this type of 'obey' then a phrase should be used to maintain the meaning, such as 'become convinced to believe and follow' (which is pretty clumsy).
There is a difference between these two 'obeys', but how best to represent that?
Interesting!!

JW message becoming more and more relevant
by lsw1961 inmans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..
however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.
somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.
