I thought "non-neutral" was referring to military service...
Pretty clever, eh? Don't mention "military" and you can't be looked down upon by the government.. Deny, deny, deny.....
Wait, maybe 'non-neutral' means becoming an NGO of the UN? LOL

Wow! I think I have to agree w/a friend of mine, who said 'if elder's wives knew about these things, their husbands would not be elders".... Wives are more practical... They would say "YOU are OUT OF YOUR MIND!"
Why? hmmm... Let's read paragraph 14.... "In some cases, elders will form a judicial committee to handle alleged wrongdoing that may also constitute a violation of criminal law ( e.g. murder, rape, child abuse, fraud, theft, assult).
OK, so do wives want their husbands becoming involved, or "judiciial", in murder cases? ARE there murderers amongst us? What happens if the murderer gets mad at you?
Plus, just think about losing your house, your income, your everything because you get involved in this "litigious" type of anything with a committee. The Society has warned them...or shall we say, given them "due notice"... and they will drop you faster than a hot plate. However, the "Society" has plenty of lawyers (and money) to help themselves deal with this 'proud, greedy, litigious' 'complex society' we live in.
That is why the "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses" tell them not to discuss things with their wives.... They would have no more elders.

i don't understand the relevance of the first picture in this weeks study article?!?!.
wt week of december 15-21 "cherish your privilege of working with jehovah".
can someone post the pic?.
You will agree that it is amazing that Jehovah has invited imperfect humans to have the honor of serving as his fellow workers.
Wow.... now he won't have to use the perfect angels to build it!
Simply amazing! How can you pass an opportunity like that up?
My husband "Make Lemonade" was an elder from age 27 (?) to 58 (?) and dealt with some of the hardest, weirdest things you have ever heard of all of our married life.... constantly.
Elder's meetings all the time, controversy, KH buildings, RBC's, GB letters, always trying to do what the Bible said... even tho other elders or NY disagreed... Always fighting against the wind. Trying to help people in their personal lives, really, actually doing things. Helping people move, going to the hospital with them, trying to get their kids off drugs, helpling people get into programs, helping marriages... as much as a person can do, if not trained. All of our family were nice people... We all cared. We all helped & cared in so many ways.
But, it did take away a lot of our life together... being an elder takes away time from your kids, your family... and then, who is there for you? Those people you invested so much time in? ... no..... your family... and that's it... and fortunately, our family (my husband, myself, my children & sister) made it out of their grasp, tho we all still are affected by the evil of the WT.... some more than others.
march 2015 study article learn from the illustration of the talents.
brothers and sisters worldwide will be overjoyed to know that the governing body finally has the.
courage to admit their mistakes .
They are very evil.... They know the power they have over you... Your life, your friends, your family... they will all be taken away from you, if you do not "comply."
for a while i have shaken my head after learning how jw's interpret (rather corrupt the meaning of) matthew 8:11. i thought it couldn't get any worse.
i was wrong.
the following is an extract of the march 2015 watchtower in pg 27. the writer is explaining the meaning of mathew 25:31-46. enjoy!.
He describes the sheep as “righteous” because they recognize that Christ has a group of anointed brothers still on earth, and the sheep loyally support the anointed
OMG!!! Creature worship at it's finest

had a coversation with a very close friend (of 15 years) and understands how i feel about the wt org.
he himself is a serious doubter.
i on the other hand am not a doubter, i know with every living ounce of myself that this is a cult!
That's right, LongHairGal!
They do not want you to have fun, have memories, or build relationships with family that will take you in when you wake up!
I am trying to put my life back together with family, realizing that they have made their own "family" of friends that have shown love to them and become 'family' when I wasn't there.
And yep, Pete, it's the old Red Pill/ Blue Pill choice.... If you just keep taking the Blu Pill you can keep having that comfy life, living in paradise, even tho it's not true.. it's just a fantasy.
Thanks Phizzy for boiling it down, making it obvious: The WT uses the word "doubt" to make you feel bad, when really we don't 'doubt', we know the truth about the truth.... it is a lie.
