Your feelings for the former travelling overseers
by Hecce induring our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.
i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.
at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

I remember that some of the sisters in the circuit work were suffering with breast cancer. It seems that the frequency was higher that normal. -

What kind of person was Nathan H. Knorr?
by Hecce inwe have several examples in the forum showing that president knorr was not a loving and caring person; one that impressed me was the one about the elderly bethelite that was put out on the streets until his death due to a disagreement with knorr.
i bring to your attention an incident that happened in the country of honduras back in the 50s, it has to do with immoral conduct by a branch overseer and his subsequent disfellowshiping.
i am not critical of the end result of his conduct but rather the salacious and detailed report of this matter putting in the open the details for the whole world to see.

Chapter 5. Sex in the City
by John Bechtel on July 17, 2009
in Bethel, Jehovah's Witnesses, UncategorizedShortly after you arrived at Bethel you were invited to attend the “New Boy Talk”, a friendly informal chat session with the President and patriarchal head of the Watchtower Society. He would talk for one whole morning to a group of new Bethlites about sex. Most of us were pretty ignorant on the subject, and so Brother Knorr would explain wet dreams and the evils of masturbation and fornication, and how to date and marry. In my particular ‘new boy talk’ I remember him encouraging us to take our girlfriends to the beach to find out how well endowed they really were, so there would be no great disappointments later. I wondered at the time if he was speaking from personal experience and if his wife’s breasts had been smaller than he’d expected.

I hope not to offend anyone with the title. It comes as a result of my personal experiences while seeing the WT practices.
Is a policy used for everything, congregational matters, finances, legal, government and whatever? The WT will try to always come out on top, no matter how much they have to get in the mud to do it.
Just one example, the modern arrangement regarding health care and transportation of their ministers evolved in a manner that was supposed to be beneficial to the congregations. At the end of the day the flock is saddled with a per capita that goes to the WT for safekeeping and administration.
Before the current health coverage, the WT allowed the congregations and circuits to pay for minor medical expenses for the overseers. When they had a major medical situation, they will go to the hospital and claim no assets; they were treated as indigents and the State absorbed the costs. Sometime during the 70’S, Social Services at the State level started looking at the situation and the WT eventually took over their health care; but always in a manner where they came out ahead.
There is a lot more that could be added but I think that this will give you the basic premise.

Rene had a rough family experience coming out of the WT, he lost his family. There is a thread where he shared that; I will try to find it. It was very informing and interesting. -

Before the WT took over the expenses for transportation and medical for the CO's, it was abusive the amounts that the congregations and circuits used to pay for that. As far as the auto, it was the personal ownership of the brother, it needed replacement like every 3 year. If your circuit was in a well off area; the purchase of the car was going to be your circuit's duty with considerable expense for the brothers.
Many abuses and fights due to those expenses.

I had a good experience with a young couple in the circuit work, at one time we were supposed to rehearse for a Convention and gathered at their place. It was a group of about 6 brothers, after the rehearsal we were very surprised when all of us were invited to dine with them, the sister said that she was following her family custom that whoever visits their place has to eat with them.
They were the exception

Favourite Comedy Quotes
by LoveUniHateExams ini wanted to post a serious, profound quote in stillin's thread but my mind went blank and i'm pretty crap with serious quotes anyway, so i put a jokey quote from the red dwarf computer holly: .
it's better to have loved and lost than to have listened to an album by olivia newton-john.. when a bemused lister asks why, holly replies "because anything's better than listening to an album by olivia newton-john!".
this got me thinking, what are everyone's favourite comedy quotes?.

What's the purpose of being a JW now?
by MrTheocratic inwith all the recent changes to this religion, what really is the purpose of being a jw?
especially for those who have been in and witnessed all the changes and still no sight of the end.
for these ones in particular (35-55 year olds) they must be in a state of confusion.

The way out is more difficult than staying put. I feel that many of the friends, are still here but not fully in; they are in a state of inertia. All the reasons that have been mentioned, family, finances, friends and many more are part of the equation.
