Brothers who were held back from being elder for stupid reasons?
by toto555 indo you know of any cases where brothers didn't get to be elder for a stupid/bogus reason even though they otherwise qualified?
do you think some/most appointments are politicially motivated?
how much do you think politics plays in the appointment process versus merit?

My Letter to Brooklyn about the Parousia that got me disfellowshipped
by cofty inthis is the letter i wrote back in '96 about the parousia.
following the '95 watchtower that disconnected the "generation" from 1914 i began to look carefully at end-time prophecy and soon discovered what i knew were basic errors in what i had been taught.. i was a loyal jw at the time and was still serving as an elder.
i used only watchtower publications in my research.

Pure religion
by Crazyguy injames 1:27 says that pure religion is to look after orphans and widows in their distress.
and in luke chapter 10 jesus explains what we must do to inherit life, and he goes on and talks about the parable of the good samaritan.. i believe that helping the poor and the needy is the way jesus really wanted the good news of the kingdom to be preach.
even in acts after pentecost they sold off their belongings and gave to the poor.

Crazyguy, its a great thing to give to the needy the suffering the poor, e.g. food, money whatever you have to give, if everyone did this there would no be starving children, "victims" of war ect. But don't let that stop you or me!!! Pure religion works.....

Cofty, you wrote a perfect letter and they disfellowshipped you!! When I wrote them and told the local BOE that the whole concept was a money making scam, I called them every bad name I could think of. Publicly at the meetings, blasting the self-righteous local BOE over and over and all they did was give a marking talk. Them stupid basturds can even get that right! What a bunch of idiots.....inso4

Something I put together for a friend.
by Indian Larry infor false christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.
with a clear warning like watch out; i have told you all things beforehand we need to be sure if we are going to tell people that jesus is invisibly present that we know exactly what we are teaching.
for false christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.

Pre-cleaning the district convention venue
by hoser inthis year as with every previous year a letter was read on how we can honor jehovah by helping to clean the stadium where the district convention is held.. does the watchtower get a break on the rent if the dubs do a major cleaning of the stadium?
sounds like slave labour to me.. .
hoser.

The cleaning job is so good cause most of the witnesses are janitors where I'm from. You know what's funny, is when they have all those plants and shrubs on the stage and they say on Sunday you can come and take one home. But people are running down to the stage during the prayer.
