  brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.

  both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.

  I enjoyed the video very much. The elders are such embecils. They apply Matt 18 when it suits them.

  What is the title of the book, id love to purchase it.

  It depends on what station one holds in the pecking order. Elders, pioneers and ministerial servants are often found outside their territory boundaries. Generally these are asked to "jump over to Macedonia" if a neighboring congregation is in greater need.

  The rank and file are generally strongly encouraged to stay where they are assigned. If someone chooses to disobey and go to a congregation other than their assigned one, then that person is considered rebellious because theocratic order is put aside. Often priviledges such as carrying mikes, prayer etc. are withheld.

  The Experts- Jehovahs Witnesses

  i was thinking this weekend of a brother i first met when i was a teenager.. not yet an elder, this brother was very outspoken, and was viewed a kind of hero to the r&f.. an inexperienced teen, i also believed ( influenced by others) that this guy was a godsend.. looking back, with the eyes of a more mature person, i now consider him an arrogant self opinionated bully.. he later became an elder and i might add that he also had an imposing physical appearance .

  but he had no education.

  no schooling.

  Growing up in the borg, I too was brainwashed to think that jehovah's witnesses were always a notch above everybody else. After all we had divine education while everybody else had satan's education. And if one read the awake for 6 months , it was the equivalent of a college education.

  in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.

  i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.

  just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..

  At presentt he quota is 70 hours. But not many of these hours are genuinely arrived at. Most have devised creative way of counting time.

  I started out pioneering when the quota was 100 hours for regular pioneers and 75 for auxillary pioneering (previously known as vacation pioneering)

  This is what my yearly schedule looked like since the age of 14:

  age 14- vacationed pioneered 3 months.

  age 15- vacationed pioneered 3 months.

  age 16 -vacationed pioneered 3 months.

  age 16- vacationed pioneered 3 months

  age 17- vacationed pioneered 3 months

  age18-32 -regulared pioneered, 100 hours in the early years and then 90.

  What a waste- I think I'm going to a corner and cry.

  What was the recent change made regarding baptisms?

  by Witness My Fury in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just saw a post by splash on the commision transcript thread: (pasted below).

  we had a talk at our hall recently, basically saying that there have been lots of letters written to the uk branch, questioning and complaining about a new change introduced for the baptisms at the sad and ca.. the talk did not try to reason, it did not try to explain.. the talk was "do as you are told, don't question what you are told".. we were told to do as the song instructs us "listen, obey and be blessed".. we were told that this change was from jehovah so keep up with his chariot.. i think this talk was given in quite a few locations around the country.. what was that all about please?.
