  What happens to the elders?

  by Worldling9 in

  1. watchtower

  with so many khs closing and congos consolidating, what happens to the elders?

  clearly there won't be a place for all of them.

  would the older ones be the first to go, losing their long held positions of 'power'?.

  I think they will all keep their titles, but eventually the Watchtower will place an age cap like they did for CO's and COBOEs...

  i just dropped my daughter off to her mum at her parents house.

  it was 12pm and i knew they meet for feild service there but my ex and i assumed they would still be out knocking on doors.

  i pull up in the street and there's quite a few cars parked up and the house was backed with jdubs from my old congregation.

  with all the "food" "fluff" larc has started, it has made me wonder how many here are vegetarian or meat eaters.. i like my meat in winter, but only in very small amounts.. summertime i go completely vegetarian and relish fruits and vegetables.. how about you??.

  manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.

  Thank you for sharing. I wish I could make progress with my wife. I just feel stuck though. Seems we are in an okay place with me being inactive and all so I don't want to stir things up. But I really want to be fully out and want to help her.

  i was not able to attend the meeting.

  i had a more important one with my other apostate friends in the area.

  And the whole shifting around of circuits is just smoke and mirrors to make the population seem larger at assemblies. I'm glad he fessed up and said there is no growth. That is excellent news. So the witness carts are not that great after all. They do make good Instagram props, though. (snickers)

  You're fired!...Damage control in October broadcast

  by ab.ortega in

  2. scandals

  this new broadcast features interviews with bethelites from south africa that were fired reassigned to the ministry field.

  i almost feel sorry for these people who gave their all thinking they would be taken care of for who-knows how many years.

  however they were let go in the blink of an eye.

  This new broadcast features interviews with Bethelites from South Africa that were fired reassigned to the ministry field. I almost feel sorry for these people who gave their all thinking they would be taken care of for who-knows how many years. However they were let go in the blink of an eye. You can see the sadness in some of the interviewees even though their words express otherwise. Some of the wording also seems scripted. How can they even consider this a blessing, being a burden to the congregation they were sent to. How in the world is this a sign that the "end" is getting closer. SMH.

  I am so "blessed" to be awake and that I was never accepted as a Bethelite, though I think they did call after I was awake. Too late!!!

  2. friends

  despite not wanting to be a jw anymore and not being at meetings for a few months, still have k. songs coming into my head- both from old and new song books - usually whilst working.

  anyone else?

  how does it make you feel?.

  I catch myself and immediately nip it at the bud. Will sing or hum something else immediately.

  It doesn't happen often though.

  Nicolas King: JW celebrity and example of hypocrisy

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  nicolas king frequently sings with the watchtower chorus and had a supporting role in the dvd released at the 2014 convention.

  (he's on the bottom row, second from the right.).

  but he also is a jazz singer, traveling constantly performing at concerts, casinos, charity events, even a brief appearance on the tonight show.
