Governing Body sick of waiting! They want the paradise they were promised!
by donuthole inthis post is going to suggest that the governing body remains, as ray franz wrote, "captives of a concept".
like every jehovah's witness they were raised with the belief that the the paradise would be here by now.
unlike others, they are in a position to do something about.. why wait to rule over the earth?

How does forum moderation work?
by Simon inwe've had a few comments lately that show that people don't seem to fully comprehend the way moderation works or the point of it.. if someone point something that other people don't like or agree with then that is a difference of opinion.
live with it.. if someone posts something that is crude, insulting, contains bad language etc.
then it violates the posting guildelines and can and should be removed.. now, sometimes we won't immediately notice a post that should be removed.

Dealing with people is not an easy task. Just remember people, 'we are slaves of the words we say or type" so think twice before posting and we should all be fine.

I never paid close attention to Tony's talks on youtube and this was the first time I got to hear a complete talk.
This jerk would be a great drinking buddy with judge Rutherford. It seems that if you want to prosper and move up within the JW's the more you act like the judge, the more spiritual they consider you. On the other hand, the more you act like Jesus, the faster you get kicked out, go figure

My messagew to my mother post "branch talk".
by problemaddict 2 inmy wife went out of curiosity.
she is out enough to where it doesn't affect our marriage, but she keeps it a secret from her family and others.
she is beginning to understand what it means to give over your thinking to an organization, and once she works that out there will be no going back.. so she went to the branch visit.

How to Knock Nazi Elders off their high horse
by suavojr inthe borg has many inconsistencies, when the topic is helping humble and honest people achieve their full potential.
consider a working man who works 40 to 60 hours a week and still manages to show up to all the meetings, participate, do all of his assigned work within the kh, but his ministry has slipped to 8 hours per month.
this same man is working hard to move up within the ranks only to get shut down without even knowing.. .

Wow flipper! That had to be tough. Thanks for sharing such intimate detail about your dad, looking back almost all nasty elders within the borg usually meet their match and someone who puts them in place. My own personal problem is the fear due to my JW upbringing. Amazing how this fear creeps up and leaves you frozen. But like you said, they are like any normal person alive.
I think I'm going to have to put this asshole in his place and hopefully it can get me kicked out.

For those wondering how can an active JW post or complain about elders is to help lurkers see how the problem is not an isolated incident. Also, I am planning my exit but on my terms and when I am ready... leaving a cult can be compared to planning your own funeral once you get diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Yes guys, it seems that with each passing year all that is left are just despots in charge. The situation is getting so bad that many have left the borg, moved congregation, and this guy has my wife taking notes of how the elders really are. I love that part.
I forgot about that term "exemplary" such a vague word and it is easily misused. What else to expect, it's a cult!

I don’t recall reading any instructions as to how people qualify for certain “privileges” within the KH such as literature, microphones, sound, platform, etc… I bring this up because in my KH we have one self-righteous elder who takes away certain privileges without telling the body of elders or telling the brother or sister whose privilege is being revoked.
This guy for example calls the person in charge of assigning the WT readers and simply tells him to stop using (insert JW’s name) gives a vague reason [brother’s ministry is low] and then 6 months to a year goes by and the poor guy is clueless as to why he does not get to read anymore. The same pattern happens with other things such as sound, doing demonstrations, etc… the poor men and women who are working hard to reach out simply give up.
This elder, the secretary of my KH is hated by the congregation and no one does a dam thing! Has the GB left this part open to interpretation for the body of elders? Or have they ever received instructions?
Oh how would I love to knock this Nazi off his high horse! The sad thing is how men like this are the ones who flourish within God’s Organization. If the earthly part of God’s Organization is a reflection of the heavenly Organization, I want no part of it.
