  What about Willis Bentley whom I heard that he left because the Writing and/or Service dept did want him to write his own talks.

  wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.

  Dagney: I got that picture in an email that had many pictures of people from various countries holding tracts. That picture had the word Greece under it.

  Elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp

  by Rattigan350 in

  isn't it amazing that the elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp on a letter from new york or whatever branch, than they are to the people they know and have known for years in their own congregation?.

  when you think about that, the reason is that they get their power from that rubber stamp.

  that is what appointed them, and that is what can unappoint them.

  Those Near Death Experiences are simply the brain hallucinating or dream.

  As for these dead people communicating and UFOs, I will believe in it when I experience it.

  It is all about their paranoia toward people searching for Jehovah's Witnesses on the net.

  They want to ingrain in people a simple and easy way to remember where to find them rather than using a search engine.

  They are afraid of what people will find. Give them two letters and a domain.

  That is paranoia for you. They are on the jw.org campaign because they don't want people to search for Jehovah's Witnesses so they tell them where to go in an easy to remember way.

  I support the annexation of Mexico and the other central american countries as well as Canada.

  The Western hemisphere should be as integrated as the USA, no borders.

  And that is how the kingdom will be.

  New BOE Letter Re. Elders/MS Appointments and Deletions

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from the wording of the letter it seems that the co has been given carte blanche with appointments and deletions.

  nowhere in the letter does it indicate that any records are sent to and from the co to the branch office.

  even if a body wants to delete an appointed brother and he disagrees his only recourse would be to write a "brief" letter to the service dept.

  It is a lot less complicated to get a bill through congress and passed than it is for someone to get appointed.
