it's the faithful and discreet slave that directs the governing body when they come together to change or add a new doctrine??? How did they come up with this one when it's always been the holy spirit doing the directing or is every word in the bible going to have a new job description meaning????????????????

Double standards for elders?
by El_Guapo ini read a post on this site that said that there is a double standard for elders as opposed to regular r&f publishers.
can't seem to find it now, but i believe it was in the elders manual stating this....... thinking back, i can vividly remember one instance: the po's (a superstar in the district) daughter was getting married.
she was marrying a "brother" who was only baptized but 3 months, yet the were able to use the hall for their wedding.. another brother in our hall (about 2 years later) was planning on getting married, he asked for permission to use the hall for his wedding and was told that his service hours were too low (he was averaging about 3-5 hours a month) i asked him later why he was so pissed at the elders and he said this was the reason.. has anyone else ever noticed this "double-standard"?.

Just in one hall and on one body of elders: The cobe had two sons. The older one dinky dipped before he got married and his younger brother got caught with dirty pics of himself with others on facebook(now removed). Their reward was bethel but younger one was asked to leave bethel once they caught wind of what he did and the older one fessed up after his stay and was no longer pioneer or ms. He wasn't allowed to get married in the hall but wasn't made public untill the day of the wedding and a big sign was put on the kingdom hall doors that the wedding would be at a certain address with maps under a big rock for people to take. Cobe's relative who also was on the body of elders was caught underage drinking but able to pioneer. Cobe knew about a brother who was living commonlaw with a worldly woman and covered it up. He even gave a local needs on marrying outside of the lord. Hypocrite! Plus, his son makes it on the news doing over 200kms and when the police tried to catch him he sped up. He even made the news stations. Nothing happened. Move to another hall and an elder there has a sixteen yearold daughter pregnant, brings worldly boyfriend to memorial and elder gets to say the closeing prayer. Then we have a brother who doesn't come to the meetings, he's df'd, gets reinstated so hopefully his wife won't leave him, after he's reinstated he smashes his wifes car by hand, gets a worldly girl that works for him to forge a legal document and is still coming on to his female staff and nothing is done. He gets all elders doteing on him. These guys must think we've all gone to idiot school or something.

THE OX and THE TRUTH
by Terry insometimes an ox gets sick and dies.. .
when your ox dies you don't just lose an ox.. nope.. you lose all the money you spent on that ox.. you lose all the feed you ever fed it.. you lose the time spent taking care of it.. this includes any veteranarian bills as well.. you can't eat the meat from a dead sick ox either, so, you lose the meal or the sale of the meat as well!.
what about using that chain of reasoning on the truth (or so-called) of jehovah's witnesses.. .

And when that farmer goes to bury his animal he makes sure it's not near water sources where it could contaminate drinking water and has to be deep enough due to killer gases like anthrax or disseases. Ummm, didn't I read on Marvin Shilmers site that brooklyn got caught with burying ink containers near water sources and were fined? They should practice what they preach about making this earth a paradise or has that light changed? I'll stick with the ox too!

I always thought you had to belong to the self appointed org but not so. The question shouldn't be to where should I go but it's to whom shall I go to. It's not untill the end when Jesus comes back that he will give us that knowledge along with the two witnesses whom by the way is not the witnesses or their conventions or whatever they claim it is

Learning at home Messianic Hebrew. Realised one day how Jesus kept all the sabbaths and feasts and wondered if he had done away with it then why did Mary, Paul and others keep it after he died and why in Zech 14:16-19 it talks about keeping the feast of booths in the millinium? Starting from the beginning of the bible and listening to hebrew scholars ect.. When I asked all I got was "what are you saying" and "what are you reading". I said the bible ONLY. I wonder if that's what was meant following in his footsteps closely besides telling others. So, yeah we're on a journey but one promise for sure I can make is I will never ever belong to an organisation or church or hand my spiritual freedom over to anyone else except to Christ and Yehovah and let my conscience and the bible teach me. It's soooo nice to pick a book I want to read on a certain subject and not get scared. What the hell was that?????? After seeing the TTATT I couldn't go back and now showing others they say they don't know where their place is for they can't go back either. It only takes a one stop look at these sites and your biscuits are baked. You guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Can't wait to hear feed back when the householder asks you into their home and start asking questions about 1914, Michael and other things while stareing at their laptop on the table. That's what happened to us last March. I got up to see why he was asking those questions and low and behold he was reading from Johnny the bethelite. I went home and googled it and one of the links lead me to other sites. I knew I was done then and there. Got on the phone and asked a family that I'm close to if they ever saw these sites and the answer was yes and they also are done.
It will be interesting to see what happens when a jw is asked in to their homes, though, take off their shoes and coats, just get comfortable and the householder does to them what happened to us. We were like what the??????? I look back and laugh now about it but all it takes is one site or one bite of the fruit and your done.

New Light From Governing Body About Faithful Slave Greeted Rapturous Applause From All In Attendance Indicate Jehovah's Approval And That They Final Got It Right
by frankiespeakin inof course this was ment to be a sort of satirical joke in the coverage of a special annual business meeting :.

Frankiespeakin, thank you for confirming what we had posted yesterday about Jesus belongings. We're not the only ones that were told this. Society is suppose to post what those belongings are in heaven as well as on earth. The brother didn't know when or what watchtower exactly you would hear the "good news". He said maybe in the April W.

Jesus belongings
by label licker inwhat are the belongings that jesus comes back for.
apparently, we were told by one of the elders at bethel who was at the annual meeting in october that the organisation was still not too sure on what those belongings are and that it would be public down the road in their publications.
they figure it would come out in the april watchtower.

Something else the brother had mentioned was it included not just what was on earth but also in heaven.(forgot this part, sorry) We were wondering are they maybe putting themselves in charge of the annointed that are already up thereé(according to their doctrine) Then, they would be elevateing themselves higher then Jesus.(won`t be the first time)
