when we see the massive layoff of bethel one could naturally ask which ones survived this brutal treatment by the governing body?
i'm sure ass kissers got a more favorable vote by the governing body to stay than the run of the mill hard valuable worker.. while all in the legal team got to stay as they are not required to kiss the governing body's ass(as much) but save it from lawsuits they are faced with.. what say you?
this a partial part of my opinion.. i wonder how much ass kissing, or ego stroking actually goes on once one becomes a member of the gb, i'm sure the ones the governing body keeps closest to them are their best ass kissers it goes along with the narcissistic personality disorder's territory in which he chooses to rome..
It ain't just bethel. I remember a certain CO whose last name rhymes with Seltzer who did give a hoot in hell about anyone unless you were a golfer an "elder" or a pious near.
And the rank and file still couldn't pucker up fast enough whenever he came to town.
1974 - can divorce your marriage mate if they insist on oral / anal intercourse.
1978 - can still divorce your marriage mate if they insist on oral / anal intercourse.
1983 - cannot divorce your marriage mate if they insist on oral / anal intercourse.
Yep...Gotta change things up every so often otherwise you can't keep control.
One of the worst things that happened to me was the it's okay...no it's not...well it's a little okay, but only if your wife says so...no it's not okay anymore bulls*&t! So needless to say when I told them to take an airborne, intercourse, at a perforated motivated pastry I was the one on the outside.
Later I still hadn't learned my lesson, yeah I know I'm hard headed, so I dated and then proposed marriage to who I thought was a pretty nice woman. The sheep shearers told her she was free to marry (as if it's any of their business). Then she wasn't free after her ex said he still loved her. He was the one who slept around and walked out on her. Then the CO said she was in fact free. We got married in spite of all the stress that infernal flip-flopping created. Then the local heavies reversed the CO decision and DF'd us both for "fornication" because we married without their express "approval".
Gawd almighty I hate that kind of small man BS!
yep.
you read the title correctly.. my daughter is a prosecutor who right this moment is prosecuting a dui crash with major injuries.
the defendant--the drunk driver--just tried to place an awake magazine with her while both of them were in the courtroom.. .
Sounds like one of the MS in the congregation I am "in.
Drunk driving, accident, and what's he get? A pat on the back and held up as an example. Of course it helps when he makes thousand dollar bribes contributions to the KH and elders.
i know this has been covered in the past however i wish to bring it up again.. i was told that if hs wants a man appointed as a ms or "elder" there is nothing that any human can do to prevent it from happening.
so my question is to anyone who asks why i am rapidly fading... what is the reason to "reach out'?
if it is true that hs does the appointing then wth difference does it make what appears to the eyes of the partial judges who decide if one gets to be an even bigger suck up?
Well I got the third degree as to why I was just "warming a seat". "Elder" A said the reason I am blacklisted is because the Bible says men in good standing must be a husband of one wife. So sorry, but I cannot change the fact that I was married more than once! "Elder" B says well actually one has to be irreprehensible, and fifteen years ago you married a non jw and then were later divorced. That makes you reprehensible, even though you are now married to a jw. I asked why then MS #1 could be an open drunkard, a serial adulterer, a tax evader, and embezzle from his business, and that was okay. And why could MS #2 have a filthy home, and children who hit and kicked their mother and were disobedient, and a wife who belittled her husband as an idiot. "Elder" B replies that there are levels of "sin", and "some brothers who may be the most spiritual brother in the congregation are NEVER going to be allowed to do anything other than scrub toilets and go in FS!" Don't you just feel the "love"?
i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.
" so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.
here, i'll save you the trouble:.
Eve...I hope if any of them come after you that you somehow nail them for even being here in the first place.
Luck to you!
whenever i went to my judicial committee (over 3 years ago), the elders opened with a prayer for jehbooboo's guidance.
then they followed up with their loyalty question, "do you believe in the faithful and discreet slave?".
of course i answered "no", and shortly thereafter i handed over my disassociation letter.
After being jacked around by the big three for nearly a year when they finally got down to the agenda of revenge they said I was to be DF'd and the proclamation of their victory would be read at the next SM. They told me under no circumstances was I to tell anyone before hand, but also that I should not talk to anyone either. What a load of horseshit!
Seeing as none of them really shave a git about me before that I let them know in the most colorful of language exactly what I thought of them. THAT was fun.
i know this has been covered in the past however i wish to bring it up again.. i was told that if hs wants a man appointed as a ms or "elder" there is nothing that any human can do to prevent it from happening.

If it is true that HS does the appointing then WTH difference does it make what appears to the eyes of the partial judges who decide if one gets to be an even bigger suck up? it shouldn't make a hill of beans difference if one pounds on doors 1 hour, 10 hours, or 100 hours every month. It shouldn't make any difference if one reads the company line once a month, once a meeting, or flaps there hand in the air like a trained chimp every single question. Now if in fact what appears to the eyes of biased men makes a difference then how can it be said HS appoints. It can't! I know of a MS who violates nearly every one of the standards and it's okay because daddy is an "elder". HS? I don't think so.
Any current comments or observations?
Thanks for letting me let of steam.
i hear of these stories of elders swapping wives, i remember when i was young hearing of three elders in florida doing this and getting dfed.
my question is this how is it possible to bring this up in conversation?
it seems impossible, how can there be multi elders that know each other willing and the wives?
I remember a pre-wedding party on the West coast back in the eighties I was personally at. A friend had bet me $100 that I couldn't go through the entire night without drinking anything alcoholic. As the evening wore on and others, including elders and MS got roaring drunk, wife swapping actually did happen. I remember one "sister" who was really hot had three different "brothers" in succession. I was pretty shocked. These days though I wouldn't think it would happen.
were you a sought after associate?.
were you often invisible?.
did other witnesses view you as "exemplary"?.
Were you a sought after associate? NO Were you often invisible? YES Did other Witnesses view you as "exemplary"? NO Then I happened to come into a substantial sum of money and it all changed over night! The strange thing was that I hadn't changed in any way. So much for the theory of a "loving brotherhood" and being impartial.

i've been waiting for someone to post this story.
five bullets almost weren't enough to save herself and her two children.
My ex-wife went on a holier than thou rant some years ago when a self righteous CO said JW's could not own any firearms because people don't need to hunt to eat so firearms are only for killing people. I told her I would rather stand before God on Judgement Day for killing some SOB that was trying to rape, maim, or kill a member of my family than for standing there watching them do it while spouting scripture at them.
This woman should have perhaps though had and used my favorite weapon...a Colt .45 model 1911 semi-auto. I'll bet the elder and elderettes would SAB (defecate a brick) if they knew I legally carry concealed at all times.
