I'm a former IV / pioneer / elder of 20 years. Never had the desire to be a CO/DO or SP/Missionary. Oh, and I served at Bethel for 6 years.

My name tells my story.

This was the only prophecy "given by Jesus" that wasn't too vague to matter, like the rest of his prophecies (see "wars and reports of wars"). But unfortunately, it was an epic failure. He didn't return within that generation as he promised.

As you see with EOMs post, prophecies mean whatever the hell you want them to mean. And salvaging this failed prophecy has proven quite the problem for Christians.

The Bible says what is says, and it doesn't say what it doesn't say. Too bad... most, if not all, of its adherents, don't believe this inconvenient truth.

Mark Sanderson - Why Is the Newest GB Member Suddenly So Prominent?
by Oubliette in

i've noticed something that is very odd even by wt/gb standards.

why is mark sanderson suddenly so prominent in all things wt/jw?.

others have commented on the obvious narcissism of the gb pushing themselves to the fore recently, in particular after their huge doctrinal change at proclaiming themselves and only themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. this is clearly true as evidenced at the agm, not only throughout the agm, but also in the video that was featured as part of that meeting.

Sanderson, just another white religious celibate old fart. Probably a repressed homosexual. Since there is only eight of them, it would make sense that he would get screen time.

BTW, I see Splane, Losch, and Morris battling it out on Wednesday mornings on who's got the best ideas. They've definitely have the biggest egos. Morris is the cockiest of them all.

If your spouse agrees with reality, it is a wonderful thing no doubt. Doing this on your own ain't no picnic.

i have recently joined the site.

i was just appointed an elder this summer.

i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.

I resigned as an elder in April 2012. I'm still fading. Because i was in Bethel from 88-94, I was very skeptical when reading CoC. But everything he wrote about is so detailed and straight up.
This past summer's convention talk on "human apostates" really burned me up when they repeatedly said: "Apostates have CHOSEN to DECEIVE others." As if what we believe is a choice, and that everything that apostates say is either half-truths or complete lies.
But, that is why it is easy to have your faith destroyed by apostates, because 99.9% of everything that they say is verifiable truth, and you are expecting see nothing but falsehoods in apostate books, postings, or blogs.

I'm sure this sounds arrogant, but as a former pioneer/elder of 15 years, I still have no use for people that are "inactive Witnesses". People that "believe in Jehovah", but not much else. People that do not have the brains to think there way out of bullshit superstition.
Stay away from the bOrg, and you not get burned helping idiots that excused their own laziness by playing the Armageddon card.

Has The Society, or Any Bro or Sis, Ever Screwed You Out Of Your Money?

this thread was inspired because of 3rdgn, and her asking, on behalf of her destitute elderly widowed mom,.

for the return of her mother's "conditional loan" to the society of $20,000.00.. (this was stated today, under my thread of, "what was the effect on you of knowing hypocritical jw's?").

the society more or less yes, no, it is now our money, and you can't have it back.

A widow in the Miami area was bilked of her 1 million dollars of life insurance money she recieved because her husband who was killed coming home from shepherding call in a car accident. It was her cousin and her husband, an elder in the congregation. They said they were helping her "invest" the money, and the "investments went bad". She was heavily medicated at the time and trusted them with her money. He is still an elder. She has two children by the way.

Just another complete failure of prophecy. Not only is Watchtower a false prophet, so was Jesus.
