the elders told me I was "disturbing the congregation"
That phrase is elder code for, "You are disturbing ME!"
in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.
🤣.

my understanding was that this was the magazine regularly published for insiders only, unlike the watchtower and the awake!
looking online, it seems that the wt ceased publication of this in 2016. is it due to a name change (it seems to have changed its name several times over the years) or has it been succeeded by a new publication?
or has it ceased to be?.
A crappy bit of paper with 4 pages
An that is all the new meeting workBOOK is. A crappy little workSHEEIT
well, that is my prediction for 2024 anyway!
hey, if watchtower can speculate..... https://youtu.be/dn8askhhwkw.
his was a big announcement to all congregations in this week’s midweek meeting
I ZOOMED in to the end of the meeting just to see if it was announced. It was. The elder who announced it concluded with the comment to, "make sure to get the updated publication in order to keep up with the 'chariot' ".
certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.
some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!
is trump’s goose cooked?
@Simon
Where is the bridge, and how much do you want for it? Can I pay for it with Biden-bucks? Will it span the Pacific Ocean?

@LHG - I understand what you are saying. I guess my take is that if one is fully out mentally, they may for the sake of family who are still in, occupy a seat at the KH without claiming or acting like a publisher by doing the door knocking work and no longer being counted as an active publisher. That was the way I left finally. And my take on this was molded by the time I spent doing the congregation accounts. No offense meant.

per publisher per month
Just a bit of clarification, it isn't a per seat occupied count, rather a per publisher. If you go just keep a seat warm and are no longer a publisher you are not counted.

They would just bend over.
i remember a couple of decades ago when the internet was relatively young and the wt was at war with it, that they were battling to keep the pay attention book secret, commencing legal action against anyone who published it online (and of course, trying to out anyone who leaked it).
i think it was a norwegian skeptics organisation who had it available for download and dared the wt lawyers to come after them.. so i guess the new shepherd the flock book came out to try and put the genie back in the bottle and reassert some air of mystery and secrecy back into the equation.. so i typed jehovah's witnesses secret elder book into google.
colour me gobsmacked!
Shepherd the Flock??
More like SKIN the Flock.

Corporations are, first and foremost, businesses, and all businesses try to maximize profit whilst minimizing deficit.
Exactly! I got in a heckuva argument with an elder one time about that very fact. I told him that the moment they put I.N.C. after their name it became a corporation and would be always run as a corporation. He of course denied that.

Trump has been impeached and indicted over and over again.
And only a blind fool would fail to see, or see and still not believe the weaponized three letter agencies in the U.S. are in fact being used against any citizen who does not kneel to the leftist agenda and spout the official democrat party lines. Trump spoke the truth when he said, "They're coming after you — and I'm just standing in their way.” That is why the left and the leftist sheep hate him so much.
