Are Elders given back ground checks before appointment?

by JWOP in

i'm researching a few things, and i'm wondering: are elders ever put through a back ground check either before or after their appointment as an elder?.

Stealth

They are back ground checked by the 'holy spirit'. What more could you ask for?

YAY!!! My first time being shunned and it was humorous to say the least

by confusedandalone in

a good friend of mine invited me to a party after her meeting on sunday.

i told her i was not going any longer and she doesn't care.

she also let us know that no other witnesses would be there.

Once the announcement has been made you can expect the loyalty test to be applied to your JW employees as they will start to get pressure from the Borg to quit their job to prove their loyalty to "Jehovah" the organization.

by designs in

a two mile corridor was set up around the scene of the accident.

firefighters were having trouble removing the young person trapped inside their vehicle, equipment kept failing.

suddenly out of nowhere a person looking like a catholic priest showed up, blessed and anointed the injured and told the firefighters their equipment would now begin to work.

The “angel priest” who appeared at the scene of a Missouri car crash, anointed and prayed with the teenage victim, then vanished has been identified as Rev. Patrick Dowling of the Jefferson City Diocese.

Why do the GB need a new Bethel compound if the end is so close? Here is the "official" answer

as most of us know, the society is spending 10's of millions of dollars on a giant, state of the art, secluded bunker country club headquarters in very remote, isolated warwick ny.. the question that "some" have is, why?

if armageddon is coming "very soon", why go to all that time & effort & expense?

why have thousands of jws dedicating their time to this massive effort instead of the "lifesaving ministry"?.

Stealth

Ever since 911 the GB have been concerned about the hoards of walking dead that would be busting down the doors of jah's arc in Brooklyn. Spain has nightmares about this.

The countryside compound will be much safer.

really it's about the $$$$$$$

"the watchtower of october 1, 1909, said: all who cut loose from the society and its work, instead of prospering themselves or upbuilding others in the faith and in the graces of the spirit, seemingly do the reverseattempt injury to the cause they once served, and, with more or less noise,gradually sink into oblivion, harming only themselves and others possessed of a similarly contentious spirit.

.they seem inoculated with madness, satanic hydrophobia [rabies].

The Watchtower, recycling the same crap for over 100 years.

i had two close friends in the org.

one is in her early thirties and got married last year and the other one is single and in her late twenties.

after reading coc, i couldn't help but feel sad at how ray and his wife felt regret at putting the religion first and not having any children.

The following quote if from the book Children published in 1941 by the Watchtower.

"No children were taken on Noah's ark or were born on the ark...this would show it to be proper to wait until after Armegedon to bring children into this world...it is only a few years from the time the other sheep are gathered to the Lord, until Armagedon...those who have infants during Armagedon will have much greater woe...it would be a far greater difficulty to care for them during the great tribulation..." Children book 1941 p.281

Many of the JWs who took to heart these statements are now dead.

Anyone else buy one of those Pocket Hoses seen on TV?

by Glander in

we bought 2. loved them.

worked as advertised... for about a month.

first one developed a big bulge and popped.

Crap, I learned years ago not to purchase products under the pressure of water that are made of plastic. My wife purchased two of these becuase of the light weight and they both broke within 60 days.
