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.

In one breath they say they are not inspired and in the very next para they say that they are . Check it out.the mind boggles.

If anyone wants to know, The above mentioned watchtower article in paragraph 12 states "the GB is neither inspired nor perfect. It can make mistakes when explainign the Bible or directing the organization......"
It makes for an interesting read.

You are right I had noticed this too. Specifically the change in one article from lower case to upper case.Its in the watchtower 2017 february page 22 where it discusses who is leading the Jdubs .

Welcome Back, I am new to this forum Only a month old.
Have your say
Peace
if you are a true believer, then you are toast.
because you will be a slave to everything the watchtower, circuit overseers, elders, pioneers, imply.
believe me, there are not many true believers anymore, and the majority of them are old.
I remember once when I had to go in for surgery. I am a very private person and reserved too . I do not tell anyone anything whether it be surgery, health issues, holidays, work problems etc. So did not tell anyone but unfortuantely the cong was having a send-off for someone and we had to let one elder know that we wont be there .He pried and we had to mention my surgery. Immediately he wanted to help with the HLC.We refused coz we would not need it, ad that we had already met with the docs, shared ou rbeliefs plus the surgery would not require anything to do with blood. He was a little suspicious that we were like cutting them off completely and did not like it at all.
We did not lie, blood would not be an issue unless the doctor made a huge mistake,and cut a major artery ! so no point in considering this at all, it was a very minor surgery in the mouth (ha, ha,)
My point being we cut them off. Other times I have had surgery , never told a soul. So no queries , no interference, no visits , no drama;(no blood issue anyway) We did it our way.
Not that I fear them but that I am a private person, so people need to respect boundaries.
Peace
