  Need advice on fade...

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the elder that was the coordinator of the boe has just left town to attend one of those infamous schools with this wife.

  the view is that he will most likely return to be appointed co. not sure he is going to stick around here for a lot longer.. i am saying this because, despite them knowing he will return when the school is over, they removed him from the coordinator position and appointed someone else.

  it was announced last night that the biggest jerk of the group of elders is now the coordinator of the boe.

  Carry on as you are doing now. If he is misogynist and hates women he might not bother with you.

  Yep, meetings are pretty boring. Especially now since there really isn't much new material. The public talks are rehash of the old trash. I feel so sorry for the kids that are made to sit through it.
  

  It's not so bad now with all the electronic gadgets. My family still attends to keep my folks happy. it's amazing how productive those two hours can be. I read ebooks, play suduko and do crossword puzzles while sitting pretty in the audience and no one is the wiser. I've even mastered the art of jumping in with a comment and then go back to my own activities.

  Basic Principles for Forum Moderation

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  a perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.

  we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.

  it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

  I've never tried it. But plan on taking it up. My work colleagues do it all the time. There are a number of studies on the benefits of this past time for combating stress and anxiety

  What was your ''the last straw that broke the camels back'' moment

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.

  if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.

  when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.

  That illustration. I forgot about it. Even the angels are depicted a little lower than the governing body.

  How disgusting !!!!

  My deepest condolences on the passing of your cousin. My heart breaks for the son who is has had to endure such harsh treatment at a time when comfort is what he most needed.

  I can't pin point exactly when but it was a series of changes starting with the 1995 generation teaching. I pioneered throughout the whole 1980's preaching that the generation of 1914 would not pass away. The 1995 came and everything changed. It literally felt like the rug was pulled from underneath me. That started the ball rolling.

  Watchtower purchases CoC copyright for undisclosed amount!

  now what is your stance?

  Downloading a pirated copy of CoC is exactly as egregious as downloading a pirated copy of the KS10. We justify downloading the KS10 because Watchtower is evil.

  Disagree with this statement. No one is profiting by downloading the DS10

  A few years after that, when I felt I no longer needed them, I donated the books to my local public library, with the intent that whomever needed them would find and enjoy them. Kind of like paying it forward.

  When Ray Franz was still alive and sending the books himself, my hubby ordered a number of them and donated them to the public and academic library in our town.
