With the increasing number of partakers, I too see the literal interpretation of 144,000 being cast off. Jesus covenent will be with only the apostles, the little flock will then be understood to be just the first century Christians. The "other sheep" will be changed to be all the rest of the annointed through the centuries with no literal number. The great crowd will be those who are relagated to life on earth. Just my speculation.

great fan of keeping a guard dog. Generally recognised as the single most effective measure that you can take to deter intruders.
That may be true, however I have found it difficult to carry a concealed dog. I prefer my .45ACP.

"If Jehovah reads their hearts and sees good, He will see to it that they get the message. We do not have to risk our lives just to cover our territory."
Of course you do. Risk your life, there is a ressurection if something bad happens y'know.

It will be interesting to see how they are received as they tumble back down to the level of those they have previously abused and humiliated.
I remember a wise businessman saying one time, "You should ALWAYS be kind to those you pass on the way up the corporate ladder, because they are the ones you WILL pass on your way back down!"
These guys never had to learn that, but now they will!

Some aspects of their work will now be cared for by experienced circuit overseers and Bethel representatives.
And what about the other aspects? Were those aspects of their "work" useless?
This...will mean that many...will be...serving once again as circuit overseers.
So does that mean MORE circuit oversneers, or are some of them going to be getting the boot to the curb now?

Buying a body of elders
by hoser inyes, everyone has a price.
a number of years ago in a congregation i once was in there was a wealthy businessman in the congregation.
he made sure that all of the elders had annual vacations overseas or to the tropics paid for by himself.

Interesting experience, pitzjw. Kate xx
Interesting, yes. One time he told me that as a single person I should just hire the services of a prostitute, and then call the elders, claim weakness, make a large contribution to the congregation, and everything would be all right. Sickening! I have much more self-respect, and self-integrity than that.

Just got a call from an elder
by nolongerconfused inso i faded over a year ago...i told the elders that if i needed them i would call them.
1 year and 3 months later, today, i get a call from an elder who used to be my good friend...he calls and i dont pick up..he leaves a voicemail, saying "hello ____, please call me back at 444-444-4444 whenever you can".
i was like wow, this has to be one of those calls to get inactive ones back to the memorial.

"Hello ____, please call me back at 444-444-4444 whenever you can".
That is the telephone version of "Brother/Sister_________, may I speak to you in the library for a moment?"
Don't do it!

Happened where I lived too.
Braggart business owner employed all the eldurrs in the congregation. Embezzled from his business, dodged taxes (got caught three times), stole materials from customers, falsified records to avoid paying un-employment, cheated on two jW wives, habitual drunkard, He and his kids were chronic liars, and yet nothing done because every time the announcement was made that the congregation was short on funds he would cut a big check, from the business account and, "Have to pay for all the bills. Because those lazy sons-of-bitches won't!"
He is now appointed! Imagine that!

"Worldly men" are surprised when they figure out that the women who smile at them, do not "want them bad".
Sounds like a JW in the Dallas area. Chased anything without a penis. Could never get it through the idiots head that just because a woman smiled it didn't automatically mean they wanted to do the mattress mambo. It was downright disgusting to listen to this "exemplary" brother graphically describing what every woman who had ever smiled wanted to do to him. Pot gut, bald head, false teeth and he figured that just like the WT claimed, all woman were after a good stuffing with anyone, anytime.

For those who still attend- When was the last time you had a Congregation Picnic or Get together?
by BU2B init seems that in my neck of the woods there is no social interaction between jws outisde of fs and the kh.
the last get together was 3 summers ago.
other than that there is no bond.

Um...beach volleyball, but the women all had to wear skirts and high neck blouses. The men had to wear trousers and polo shirts. And don't forget the approved brown wing-tip lace up shoes for the men, andlow heels for the women.
Then there was the softball game, suits and ties.
But just to make sure everyone had a spiritual good time there were the Bible games, and much singing of Kingdom melodies.
Thank goodness there are no more of these kinds of gatherings. And I sure as Hades wouldn't go if there were. I'd rather jab myself in the eye with a sharp stick.
