  Elders contact the 'service desk' at headquarters, you call them on the phone and that way you can talk about the child sex abuse allegation and you won't leave a paper trail. It's in Shepherd the Flock of God, I think. Do you have a PDF copy? PM me if you don't.

  Well said, zeb. That's the life they offer you: their literature, read up they say, and dream about paradise when paradise is right outside your door, spread out to the sky. You're not rambling, WilluDFme: you're getting real with us. Don't stop.

  I had a moment like that on New Year's Eve, too. Those kind of moments are deeply personal and meaningful, look how far you've come, look at who you are now. That's something to be proud of. You should be proud of yourself.

  Capitalizing names

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a random thought here but does anyone else notice than when the name "elder" or "circuit overseer" appears in the organization's magazines and books they're always lower case even though they're proper nouns and should be elder and circuit overseer... but branch committee member, governing body helper, governing body member, they get to be capitalized.

  another subtle indication of how the governing body and other high-ranking elites see themselves, i think.

  I mean I get what you're getting at but do you get what I mean about the ranking it subtly constructs? The kinda comparative thing? Other faiths capitalize Elder, the Mormons for example, and most Elders aren't that old.

  i heard it from someone who attended the latest wt study, and quickly posted it with - you guessed it - a picture of a lovely flower bouquet.

  I love how they dress up their scare tactics and their empty promises. Why can't they be them, own them, be honest with themselves and others? So cowardly. Like sparky1 said, bouquet of truth my ass.

  I don't know what you mean by that and I will believe what I want. Ain't no trial buddy, just a forum.
