  Herd was never cut out to be a leader. He should stop trying to be what he was never cut out to be.

  I think this talk is just him in therapy, describing his every encounter with a woman.

  What is shaping the current thinking in a similar, life changing way?

  1. Sisters should only marry worthy men, as determined by their being an MS or higher.

  2. Blood transfusion bans are still taking lives of partners, children, parents.

  3. Shunning is stopping children having a relationship with their families.

  In another 25 years time when these restrictions are laughed at for being old light, there will be old, single sisters who passed up opportunities for happiness, distraught ones who needlessly lost those close to them, and ageing parents who have no children or grand children to care for them because they were cut off decades ago.

  Yet the GB will be fine, and it will be 'the witnesses' who read too much into things.

  Yeah, my parents plan to will everything to this parasitic organization and forsake their seed

  yeah, they'll leave it all, their home, savings, etc.. never mind helping out their struggling children who never had a chance.. fuck this organization and everything it stands for when its members think god will favor them more by willing everything to a corporation instead of their own struggling seed..

  Director of XYZ Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, Inc.

  i 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).

  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.

  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

  this 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?
