  Do the Witnesses still allow women to preach in men's prisons?

  by JimmyYoung in

  2. beliefs

  i knew of several women who would preach at the local correctional facility.

  some would do the fall in love and get married to a new convert who had a long prison sentence.

  if the witnesses had half a brain they would stop this before it ever got started.

  The official stand is for qualified brothers to go in. People getting in over their heads has been and is a problem .

  It is common for prisoners to " find jesus", they dont have the opportunity to stray as easily . Also despite what many want to believe people dont grow up until 25 or 30

  Narcissistic Elders/Pioneers

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today, while listening to a book that covered narcissism, i was a bit surprised to find a connexion with those “seeking privileges” in the organization.

  while not being paid, pioneers, ministerial servants and elders invest a great level of time and effort in upholding their responsibilities.

  fear of being destroyed by god for not doing enough.

  The altruists are the better of the lot. But that does not make them either capable nor intelligent. Without spiritual qualifications you are not allowed to mow the lawn without being g told. We all know the windy full of themselves ones

  Publisher ID - I Saw It In Person & It Was Terrifying!

  by thedepressedsoul in

  i'd like to start off this post by saying, we all know that the wt loves control.

  it's clear by their history, their wt's, the elder arrangement and so on.

  however, after witnessing and using the publish id program in person, it takes this need for control to a whole new level & it was scary.. if you've ever seen builder assist (the website program used for ldc volunteers) or the metro program, it actually looks pretty similar to that.

  I like the " invite" part. The only invitation they really give is to leave your brain outside. You will lose privileges. How cruel

  Did You Ever Get Hit On By An Elder?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the organization stresses to elders to be careful with members of the opposite sex.

  never be alone with a sister whether it be in field service or paying a visit by means of a shepherding call.

  do you know of any elders that flirted or were overly “touchy” with females?

  One invited my now wife to spend a weekend at his cabin, just the 2 of them. He later pretty much paralleled david and bathsheba story.

  There were several she mentioned who were acting as more than just friends but didnt cross any boundaries. She was extremely good looking in her youth

  Probably be told about it. It is supposed to be a recruitment talk with only approved music. I have a song oicked, but will have no say.

  What i have been to was dismal or just fair. I have even heard applause. I think lots of people go for the reception, or to connect with old friends
