Public Speaker Cries During His Talk

by James Jackson in

his talk was about reaching out for the real life.. he is in his mid seventies, then begins to rant on about staying loyal to the organization because many of us have lost loved ones in death and if we want to see them again we must remain in the organization.

he says he wants to see his father again, then the tears begin to flow right there on the stage.... then an elderly sister during the watchtower study admits to regetting leaving her daughter behind to seek a better life in the u.s, and she is crying.... these 2 meetings was just plain weird..

Guidelines for Traveling Overseers (tga-S)

by hildebrando in

today, thanks to a brave do and my colleague elkatire 1980, we make make public the manual, guidelines for traveling overseers (tga-s), of which existence many suspected, but even in english, it wasnt available.. from its very title page, this book indicates in bold letters:.

it should not be shown to others, nor should any portion of it be reproduced.

note: for now, this book is only available in spanish, but we are working in translating a brief summary in english, hoping that someone from the english congregations makes it available to you soon.. http://hildeydesa.blogspot.com/2014/06/pautas-para-los-superintendentes.html.

This is amazing!!! Would like to see a complete English translation, without commentaries.

BTW, is this from a disgrunted Spanish District Overseer?

In Death lies Glory

by BluePill2 in

i was alone at the new branch construction site in ticuantepe (nicaragua).

everybody had taken off for a weekend assembly in the capital and it was my turn to have watchman duty and guard the site.

we had dogs and i only had to walk around the perimeters and check all the gates and entrances.. suddenly a young boy appeared at the main gate, breathless and visibly nervous.

Waiting for Part 2 of your story as a former Bethelite, Missionary....

Heads Up: If you are an older JW, WT has no further use for you!

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

wt is retiring district overseers, has sent older jws serving at bethel packing despite years of faithful service, and as of june 1, 2014, has announced that any elder that has reached 80 years of age is no longer valued or wanted as a cobe.

in wt land it would appear that older people have little or no value, and wt sees no reason to use them in any meaningful capacity.

i wonder how this makes older ones feel after devoting their lives to wt's interests while shelving their own hopes and dreams?.

James Jackson

Talking to 2 diiferent "Brothers" about this (Elders in their late 40's), they like this new arrangement and can't wait to dicuss it at the next Elder's meeting.

One Brother said his COBE is 75 and loosing it. He has been "yelling at young kids in the Hall to stop playing at every meeting", upsetting several parents. Also he accused an Mature Brother having an affair with a young Sister(no facts, just running his mouth). He also lost 3 different checks, 1 was to be given to the CO( this Brother had audited the accounts, and noticed 3 voided checks, replacements issued in a 3 month period).

The other Brother said the COBE in his congregation is 78, just delegates all his responsibilities out to other Elders, but likes being the COBE!

True Stories from the Tower - Part 1 "From Anointed to Pedophile to Bethelite"

by BluePill2 in

before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.

during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.

as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

James Jackson

Certainly things have changed now in Bethel.

I believe Marvin is a woman we all know and love and is very involved with the Child Sex cases the Watchtower has tried to keeo quiet about.

The CO visit this week he says" In August..."

up until 5 years ago, the co used to work up their own parts for specfic congregations in their circuits.

everything is up to script, in other words, every co in the country are givings the same talks in the local congregations they visit.

what got me to cringe is when he said at the meeting, trying to encourage everyone to pioneer this august; he said :" you know this october it will be 100 years since gods kingdom began ruling, remember what happen when joshua told the israelites to march around jericho on the seventh day, and what happened when they let out a great war cry?

James Jackson

He was equating the fall of Jericho, with the fall of this "System of Things".

He also said: "From a Biblical stand point, October is a month that many Bible Prophecies get fulfilled".

Up until 5 years ago, the Co used to work up their own parts for specfic congregations in their circuits. Not so more. Everything is up to script, in other words, every CO in the Country are givings the same talks in the local congregations they visit. What got me to cringe is when he said at the meeting, trying to encourage everyone to pioneer this August; He Said :" You know this October it will be 100 years since Gods Kingdom began ruling, remember what happen when Joshua told the Israelites to March around Jericho on the seventh day, and what happened when they let out a great war cry? "

"Friends, this could be your last time for you to show your love and zeal for Jehovah by Pioneering in August".

I told my wife, " I can't believe this is in his outline, I will wait to see what happens come November".
