the disaster relief committee at patterson organized 3 meetings this past memorial day, monday september 5, 2005. the meetings were held in lake charles, louisiana; bossier city, louisiana; and ball, louisiana.
over 1,200 elders were in attendance from louisiana, missouri, arkansas, and texas.
i took horrible notes, but want to share a few things.. the elder opening the meeting emphasized the importance of confidentiality.
Since when have elders kept confidentiality? A judicial committee of 3 elders cannot keep confidentiality. So 1,200 elders will NOT keep confidentiality.
The WT knows that. And for the WT to put a confidentiality order on helping hurricane refugees is suspicious.
If the WT wants to keep this secret, just think of the REAL secrets they hide.
for those not up-to-date on my situation ... .
i was disfellowshipped and i posted about it here.. i wrote an appeal letter, and wrote about it here.
so, i just got home from a weeks vacation, i was home for 3 hours.
Did they make their reversal annoucement tonight or not
isn't the wt appointing those middle aged men to the governing body as off-beam as nominating the young john roberts to the superior court?
the purpose of such appointments is clear.
the higher powers want to ensure the longetivity of their agenda.

The purpose of such appointments is clear. The higher powers want to ensure the longetivity of their agenda.
Here is an interesting quote:
Bush and Senate Republicans are pushing to confirm Roberts before the new court session that begins Oct. 3. Democrats cautioned against a rush to judgment now that Roberts is a candidate for chief justice and at age 50, could shape the court for decades.
"I would hope all senators, Republicans and Democrats, would ask very substantive questions because this is, after all, a lifetime position," said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.http://msnbc.msn.com/ID/9209570
The WT is onboard with the rest.It is not a decision made by "holy spirit" it is a calculated business decision. They want to 'shape their organization for decades' by appointing their younger proteges to lifetime positions... Because they know their "urgent message" is bogus and that "this old system of things" is going to be around for a long time, with no end in sight.

bob denver, tv's 'gilligan,' dies at 70 .

Now he will be stranded in Paradise with a bunch of JWs when he is resurrected.
i went to brooklyn heights today, mapping out the exact route for our protest march on 10/13.. as i am waiting for the traffic light to change (on the corner of pearl st and sand st) out of the corner of my eye what do i see:.
a young man in a wool suit (81 degrees outside kiddo!
) approaching me with a tract in hand.. poor kid.
Didn't you think that it was "angelic direction" that the young JW brought the tract straight to you? Jehovah trying to warn you or call you back into the fold?
That is how the WT would tell the story.

What's the phone number to your KH? We should call up there the night they make the reversal announcement and congratulate them for their outstanding theocratic decision.
isn't it funny how certain smells can have a strong effect in evoking distant memories?.
i was reminded of this when i just opened my desk drawer.
a little earlier today i bought a local newspaper (which is unusual for me) and didn't have time to read it so i stuck it in the drawer.
KH smell, WT literature smell and the District Convention restroom smell.
Aw, the lovely smells of the Truth, unforgettable.
Did the WT sabotage and delete my first post?
Here it is again:
Of all the annointed candidates, why did the WT appoint these younger, less experienced annointed ones?
The older, more experienced, long time annointed men who qualified must feel overlooked or slighted. Or do they?
The appointment of these younger, middle aged annointed so "late in this time of the end" suggests that the WT hierarchy knows that the Armageddon they have prophesied is not as "near" as they have warned.
The WT strategically appointed younger annointed men to carry the organization over the next 50 years. With smoke and mirror, the WT is preparing themselves for a long haul, with no "end" in sight.
When the WT annointed remnant finally dies off, including these younger annointed, the WT will simply twist and change their doctrine again to support their adherence to their "urgent preaching work" and their "Armageddon is near" teachings. And millions will continue to follow and believe.
Meanwhile, the WT executives will continue their construction work, expanding their property holding, under the protection of their legal staff, breaking printing & publishing records, stroking their egos, living an easy, comfortable, all expenses paid life, traveling/vacationing the world, being wined and dined by the loyal JWs kissing their feet and believing their sly rhetoric.
That is what the inner workings of the WT has always been about and that is what it will continue to be about. And the WT and JWs will damn your soul if you speak out.

after almost a year of living abroad, away from my parents and away from anything even remotely watchtower related, having allowed myself to not worry about these silly little things (yet convincing my parents that i was still going); now that i've been back for about 6 weeks, i feel that i have to put on a double effort to cover over things that i've said or done, and avoid using "suspect" words or phrases like "cheers" or "good luck".
its driving me crazy at the moment, and 10 times more than it was doing before i moved out.
today, i had a mini panic attack at having told a "worldly" friend of mine "good luck".
You could start saying that you are depressed or have chemical allergies to KH perfumes, colognes, cleaning agents, etc. Some personal ailment that makes you physically ill and disables you from joining them like you used to.
Or you could blame it on work, scheduling. Go out of town a lot. Find some reason to say that you got your feelings hurt and are now stumbled emotionally.
