It's all corporate BS now. Might as well go sit thru an Amway or Mary Kay Convention.

Elders are no longer teachers
by eyeslice inback in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.
you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.
then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

Being embarrassed by a JW when you were a JW
by punkofnice ini was out on the ministry(tm) in the 1980's when i was pie-on-earring.
i was only a lowly publisher(tm) being coached by a rather odd elder(tm).. one of the publications(tm) had recently mentioned japan and the growth(tm) of jws there.. the elder(tm), brother(tm) i was with offered the magazines(tm) to the householder(tm).. then he stated, 'there are (gave the reported numbers at the time.
i can't remember the number he stated), jehovah's witnesses(tm) in japan.'.

Giggles......that sounds like a sidekick's name.
Like, if Lett-the-Clown needed a dumb little sidekick in the Big Top, it'd be named "Giggles."
Michael Jackson even had a sidekick........Bubbles!
I can only imagine what Bubbles had to endure. Are you Hemorrhoid Evans sidekick? I wonder, what do you endure? Does he peg you until you giggle, or until he does?

Who would want to see Hemorrhoid Evans sing karaoke?
It'd be like watching Stephen Lett tap-dance.

Where do I sign up for my personal ZOOM with the Great Neck-Bearded One?
I've shaved my ass, and I desire a ZOOM kiss upon my anus. A sort of autograph?
Think he's up for it? lol

I'd just like to add on here, that over on the Reddit exJW sub, no one even mentions Hemorrhoid Evans anymore, and the rare cases he does ever come up, it's immediately followed up with negative comments. All of the recent Norway and WT PID information that was released, etc..... he was nowhere to be found or heard from. It doesn't help that (as usual) he burned all bridges on that sub and so the Mods probably wouldn't even let him back on.
He is 100% DONE. Reduced to commentary on things already released and past. The grift is up. He can slither back under whatever bearded rock is nearest him in whatever shithole country he is existing in.

Ghastly.

JW Broadcasting - simply a platform for narcissists?
by eyeslice inone thing i notice from sitting through a number of broadcasts is just how much these guys love their titles.
it's always brother such-and-such, member of the gb, helper to the teaching committee, etc.
it's never simply brother such-and-such, a local elder with such-and-such congregation.. it seems to me the witnesses are pretty quick to pick up on catholics who call their priests father, which at the end of the day is in much the same vein simply a title.. i suspect these titles point to a huge amount of narcissism of the part of those who revel in such titles, certainly it doesn't seem to fall in line with christ's advocation that the greatest amongst you should be be the least.

TO CLARIFY:
1. Jesus is on the throne because that's where he was installed since 1914. (according to WT doctrine)
2. The Orbs at either side, are angels known as "Thrones", which are typically shown as Orbs. They represent God's Love, judgement, steadfastment.
3. The large winged guy on the right, is Michael the Archangel. (or possibly 1 of the other 2 mentioned in the Bible) He's not Jesus, because he's not wearing a King's Crown. A lot of people forget about Michael, but there he is.
4. Jehovah isn't shown because how are you going to show Him? He's everywhere all at once and inconceivable, so they don't "show" Him. Although, He might be represented as the bright glowing behind/above Jesus.
5. I think they made the rank-n-file Sheeple actually stick out more in this illustration. How so? Well, those in Field Service (bottom right) are the largest photos in this whole illustration. The GB at the table are actually the smallest!
I frankly think this is a mountain out of a mole-hill with this illustration. There's a lot of things we can hammer the WT on, and this is frankly a big nothing-burger.

How come the old boys on the GB don't get kicked out at 70?
by eyeslice init would appear that circuit overseers (no dos these days i guess) are taken off at 70 years old.
even older ones in bethels are disposed (sorry 're-assigned to the field) of before they get too past it.. how come though the old boys on the gb aren't shown the door at 70 and replaced by younger men - obviously of the recently anointed type?
they don't look a particularly fit bunch so they can't claim special mightiness because of doing 'the lord's work'.

If Gluttony is a sin, why are the Governing Bozo's morbidly obese???
They must be gorging on more than the "fine spiritual banquet", aye?
