Shorter meetings for field service

by hoser in

march kingdom ministry insert is about how the field service meetings will be shortened from 10 to 15 minutes down to 5 to 7 minutes.

they want the publishers to report more hours.

in my experience the problem isn't the length of the meeting for service but pioneers and publishers dogging it after the service arrangement.

Epic Discussion ( Confrontation ) with JW Cart People about WT Child Abuse

by flipper in

so i had about had enough of reading jw's excuses online about wt child abuse and the candace conti nightline abc video about her case.

this is a really deep burning topic to me as i'm sure it is to many of you.

so today the gloves came off.

Flipper, next time you do this, when it gets to the point they accuse you or the news release of being "apostate," ask them, "What does that mean?"

When they tell you, then you can say, "But this can't be 'apostate.' The journalists, attorneys and judges involved were never JWs!"

Is there a Child Molester on the Governing Body?

by TTATTelder in

great report by abc on the abuses in jw-dot-org land.... i hope it opens a "floodgate" of future news reports and exposes.

if you ask yourself, "why hasn't the watchtower leadership changed their policy on the 2 witness rule?

if one or more persons on the gb has victims out there that can't come forward because of the 2 witness rule, then that would explain the permanent road block to policy change that is obviously in place.

Interesting thought ...

WT is trying to scare off memorial partakers

by cookiemaster in

i don't know how many of you still participate in the sunday wt study, but i unfortunately still do.

even though i was asleep half of the time, i did notice something i thought i should share with the rest, in case you haven't noticed.

a lot of the paragraphs were worded strongly against partaking and used clear language of intimidation and discouragement toward anyone thinking of partaking.

All of us non-DF'd "apostates" should show up and partake just to drive them crazy!

Nah, just kidding!

Growing number of memorial partakers explained(?) by local elder

by stillin in

i brought this up in a conversation after today's meeting.

the elder knowingly acknowledged the growing number and pointed out that of course, now we understand why this is so.

i gave my best blank stare and said "we do?

Oubliette

stillin: does anybody here have a clue what he was talking about?

Of course not, and neither does that elder.

He tried to use a nonsensical teaching to explain a discordant fact that flatly contradicts decades of JW "Old Light."

Brother so and so doesn't accept counsel

by hoser in

i am not sure if anyone else here heard this phrase.

i did from a circuit overseer when i was a servant many moons ago.

with my newly enlightened mind i finally understand what this means.

Brother so and so won't do what I/we tell him to do!

Elder Using Innuendos at Every Single Opportunity

by Tempest in a Teacup in

there's this elder in my hall.

in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.

he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.

Oubliette

He learned it from the GB members, probably fancies himself a kindred spirit. I mean, who wouldn't want to be like Ol' Rubberface, Stephen Lett!
