Have you ever been on a congregation picnic?

by LostintheFog1999 in

were you ever on a congregation picnic?

i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".

well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.

How come the old boys on the GB don't get kicked out at 70?

by eyeslice in

jw
friends

it would appear that circuit overseers (no dos these days i guess) are taken off at 70 years old.

even older ones in bethels are disposed (sorry 're-assigned to the field) of before they get too past it.. how come though the old boys on the gb aren't shown the door at 70 and replaced by younger men - obviously of the recently anointed type?

they don't look a particularly fit bunch so they can't claim special mightiness because of doing 'the lord's work'.

why else would they participate in / push the democide program?

Simple reason - there was money available for persons or groups that could exert influence.

Excellent find Blondie.

I wonder if "mercy killing" goes on in our hospitals rather regularly. As the end approaches for the elderly, does ramping up their morphine contribute to a speedy death?

Yes, seen it first hand, happens very often when there is no hope of recovery and family gives consent.
