  Why the BIG 4.5 day elder "school"?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  just wonderin' if anyone has heard of anything about something big going down in the borg?

  good friend of mine just told me today that he will be attending a 4.5 day elder "training school" all nest week!

  the "special" elder "schools" are usually only 2-3 days.. lots of dumbing down coming?.

  I think what is happening is that the two different "schools" for elders are being confused here.

  Every 3 years roughly there is a Kingdom Ministry Scool lasting about 2 days which takes place evrywhere at about the same time. It covers sttuff from the elders book, letters from the society and does indeed contain many videos these days. I think the next of these is at the end of this year.

  There is also a "school" for congregation elders which is more like a pioneer school. Over several years the programme is delivered around the world to about 30 at a time. It lasts a full week, though I think it ends on friday lunchtime. It is supposed to be about building up and encouraging elders and training them to be better speakers. There is a lot of question and answer (KMS is mostly talks).but probably videos these days as well.

  i have not been around much or even cared to dig into jw land.

  i been working on moving to a new place and leaving behind my old jw past, even the neighborhood where it all happened.. but something i heard this weekend had me thinking.

  my mother in law has a small, run down wooden home near the kh where we used to attend.

  That sounds exactly right. The same thing has happened in my area with a renovation. And yes, they aren't requests, they are demands. There is also a regular announcement about how much has been donated towards the cost of the renovation to guilt trip everyone.

  One scripture Jesus quoted that the Watchtower Society forgets to teach/apply

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  14 and this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.. .

  19 go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that i have commanded you.

  and behold, i am with you always, to the end of the age.”.

  I like to ask jws about Matt 28:19,20. Do those verses apply to individuals or to an organisation? THey will think then say to individuals. Then I ask how many people they have personally baptised.

  Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

  Such a basic rule, but never applied.

  There was a BOE letter 2009-10-03 on dealing with infectious diseases which basically allowed anyone who is infectious to keep away from meetings. It has never been mentioned since as far as I know. It should be available form Atlantis!

  Just noticed - local needs is followed by organizational accomplishments - usually another money grab disguised as a display of how well they are spending "dedicated funds"

  Slightly off topic, but it always puzzled me why people used the name Adam when he is supposed to be the worst person in the bible really.
