  the whole organization is going through huge and big changes.

  it can be seen by names of departments, to how things function and teaches.

  my questions to you is, what do you think the future changes will be, both in teaching and organizational matters?.

  all need to obey the direction from "Jehovah's organization (that) may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. " should be a cause of concern for every Jehovah's Witness

  I'm thinking that this is more in the line of the very limited number of "regional" conventions in the future. This year is just the test run. In the future years there will be very few, and a great deal of travel and expense will be involved in the future to crowd into venues and watch the GB on large screen projectors. And what with the declining financial resources the "sheep" have it would appear to be impractical from a human standpoint to use limited funds for those conventions. IMHO.

  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

  yes, 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.

  so 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.
