  freddo The ones I took part it in seems to be superceded by this arrangement ?/- I have not been in the Borgian loop since 2010 - not sure - the docs look the same-ish ! But it went on forever this meeting. Also I did not handle the forms as CO had them in his hands.

  It can be a way to put the knife into elders you don't like or are jealous of regarding "speaking prowess".

  Then too we were reminded to look at the bro's who were more "charismatic" in their speaking style.

  Other factors that were looked at were: Does he have his family in subjection ...............otherwise don't recommend him for talks / demo's related to family/

  Been waiting for this for some time ! Well done posting this.

  This existence of this rating system is not well know even amongst elders.

  I was "privileged' to take part in 4 of these ratings sessions with the CO over the years - it took about 4 hours+

  Every elder in a circuit is discussed and scrutinised as to his eligibility to give talks / take part on RC program parts etc etc

  Thereafter your are given a rating D / C / B / B+ / A

  In all of the sessions I was involved in only 1 person ever had an A rating and that was the late Jim Hamilton who was a former CO in the UK if I am correct.

  RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(

  less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

  A Must-Watch video for all those trying to break free or fade!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  for any who may be fading, or trying to break free from the society, or those who fear how things will transpire , please do yourself a favour and watch this video!.

  it is long, but worth the investment in time, for it will help in many ways.. its called "coming out" by theramin trees, and for those who "come out" about recognising the truth of the society, it will help.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mj-8ocmtb_8.

  Just leave them be.......the angst they have to deal with [it appears to have been concluded here that they are gay? ] is torture for them ...........Nothing kicks the HomoPhobe out of one quicker than having to deal with a family member who is gay ! ...........

  Do you remember 1975? I remember 1984.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i mention "1984" you will probably think of george orwell and his book " 1984".however i think of "1984" as a year in my life when watford football club reached the f.a cup final.

  ( the f.a cup is the biggest footballing occasion in english sport, and my club " little watford" were in it) but instead of going to watch the game, i was forced by my dad to miss attending the match and prioritize on theocratic w.t study.. so for me the year 1984 was the year i should have woken up to " the truth about the truth" sadly it took another 30 years of generation and doctrinal change before this boy became " awake" and understood his defining moment and realized he was fooled by the w.t.. anyway 1984 was a long time ago, but today in 2016, i realized 1984 had a " modern day 2016 application" that happened last saturday, when i took my boy to watch my " little " watford play "mighty "manchester united" and we won 3.1. now it's wednesday and my boy and i are still on cloud 9, even orlandos school teacher started monday lessons by saying " well done watford ".

  yes little watford outplayed and beat the mighty united.

  I am no longer a copper so criminal acts don't matter to me anymore !
