I too am most concerned that you gave his name. I'm sure he spoke to you in confidence.
He may not be ready to leave or get disfellowshipped. Please hide his name and personal info.

It is very sad, but you are absolutely correct.
It also accounts for the behaviour of many of their followers.
SOME elders, co's and do's choose not to question the WBTS, because the GB
is the source of their power in the congregation.
Power is something most crave but very few can control.
True is the saying by Lord Acton : Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

New Watchtower format is all because of Blondie!
by drew sagan ini was just reading a thread about the new 'exciting' format for the watchtower and how there will be a jw only edition.
add to this what i believe is the new rule that da'd and df'd people are not allowed to receive the magazines unless they attend meetings.
this all got me thinking.... .

Pirate copies of Knocking Director

We were given a copy of Knocking by my husband's brother.
He copied it himself while we were there.

Elders ARE idiots!!
by Gill inthis has always been my opinion, even as a 'loyal' jw!
i thought that elders were idiots.
i have only ever known one who has ever had any real education, a solicitor and he was an arrogant twonk, the rest were a pathetic bunch of bullies who 'appeared' to be loving and kind but were infact out to find out the shit about everyone and cause as much trouble for everyone as possible.

I am sorry to say it Gill, but your post says a lot more about you
than the many thousands of anonymous men you so majestically denounce,
of which, only a minute fraction you have ever even met.

I think it is a US thing. I have been to MANY Kingdom Halls outside the US and they all had windows.

Thank you again Blondie. What a trooper you are, reviewing the Watchtower for us even though you are not well.
The analysis was brilliant as usual. You and your posts are very much appreciated.
It appears the WBTS wants it both ways. They say the flock should obey the elders even though they don’t agree or understand.
However during the 2 nd world war the branch in Australia conspicuously supported the war effort and most of the publishers did as they were told.
They had canteens for the army which were manned even by Bethel workers.
In 1946 Nathan Knorr went to Australia. He reprimanded the rank and file for supporting the war effort. Apparently, in private, some of the
Witnesses had justified their behaviour by saying they were "only obeying orders" from the branch.
Well Knorr had large meetings with the Witnesses in all the capital cities. He, in no uncertain terms, reprimanded the rank and file for supporting the war effort.
He said "obeying orders" was no excuse. He said they should have obeyed their own conscience.
He then held up the Bible and said, "You had the Bible", in effect chastising them for obeying those in charge.
Of course the religion has changed from those days and though it was controlling then, it is much, much more so now.

compact fluorescent lamp warning.
by BrentR inthere are probably alot of us using the small spiral shaped compact fluorescent lamps in our houses.
i did not realize they have mercury in them and can be a bit of problem if one breaks.
it is also illegal to dispose of them in our regular garbage cans.

Thanks for that Brent.
Most people don't know or understand the dangers of fluorescent lighting.
.Apart from the mercury problem they give many people headaches.

What IS the "Worldwide Order"?
by Doug Mason inthe more i uncover, the more i realize how little i really know.. after putting my org chart together, i have a question: who or what is this worldwide order?.
if this is the formal name of the full-time members within the overall organization, what is the name of the overall organization?
could it be something like new world society?.

Hi Doug
Sorry to take so long to get back. Life just got in the way.
I believe the "Worldwide Order" is all Bethel members and DO's and CO's.
It was instituted in the late 80's or early 90's if I remember correctly, it was then they all had to take the vow of poverty.
It was done for legal (money) reasons, and yes women are in the order. It's not a position or authority thing, just legal.
