apparently there is an elders school coming up, and then we have the kingdom ministry school which I will hopefully be going to as I am an MS
You want to go to this school? Why? Stand your ground and do what you want
the upcoming km school for all elders and servants is going to be in person only with no provision for video conferencing.. only fully vaccinated may attend.
meaning if you missed your last booster you are no longer fully vaccinated.. every coordinator of body of elders has to ask every single ms and elder if they have kept up with all their boosters and are fully vaccinated or they can’t attend.. this seems to be a census the gb want to know how many are keeping up with booster shots.

if there is evidence that jesus invisibly chose specific men at headquarters in brooklyn new york in 1919 to be his faithful slave and that mandate and ability passed on to future directors...then the answer might just be a resounding maybe.. what is the evidence for this invisible appointment and what is the evidence that this is just watchtower mythology?.
i hope jws like scholar and fisherman will explain why the trust the gb.. i must be honest, i see no evidence at all to put trust in either the 1919 selection or the current men taking the lead in warwick.

"do not put your trust in mortal man who cannot save" Psalm 146
I've never been close enough to one of them to feel if they are human, but I am pretty sure from the broadcast that they fit the human profile.
NO , these men should not be trusted.
it would appear that circuit overseers (no dos these days i guess) are taken off at 70 years old.
even older ones in bethels are disposed (sorry 're-assigned to the field) of before they get too past it.. how come though the old boys on the gb aren't shown the door at 70 and replaced by younger men - obviously of the recently anointed type?
they don't look a particularly fit bunch so they can't claim special mightiness because of doing 'the lord's work'.
When you are at the top, who would do the kicking. That would be called a coup.
curious.
time goes by so fast.
who remembers 1975, the ray franz incident, the generation change in 1995, the blood fractions, alternative service, participation in ochr, aid afrique, the historical research by james pellechia, jolene chu and johannes stephan wrobel?
This is one of my most vivid memories: I was a late teen and was working in service with the CO's wife. I was a really goody goody and I was telling her how I would like to work at bethel. She told told me that bethel has issues too and how there was a lot of apostasy and that bro Franz's nephew (who later found out was Ray) had become an apostate and how he was trying to take over the organization.
I remember being struck with that as an impressionable teen. Years later when I truly understood what happened with Ray Franz that conversation came to mind.
I had the opportunity to talk to Ray on a few occasions and I was always bothered how this wonderful human being could be so maligned.

This makes me sick to my stomach
hey everyone,.
a few months ago, there was a post asking about randy watters.
it seems that there was a lot of speculation as to his health and well being.
HappyDad, I am glad to hear. He was one of the first ex jw's I stumbled across in the early days.

Looks like he hasn't posted anything since march 2019.
There is a lInkedin account with 3 inactive websites.
as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.
do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.
it would be nice to believe that when 1975 came and went without a whisper..that most intelligent people would have walked away from the Witness religion.
The opposite happened, the ones who were smart enough to leave were considered weak christians.

We were studying a Watchtower article where the Society blamed its members for the debacle ... ''reading into things, becoming disheartened, slowing down in the field ministry and had little time for spiritual matters.''
I remember vividly my confusion at this. I was 14 at the time.

I knew of one family with lots of kids who wanted to sell their house and buy a trailer. Then 1975 hit and they left altogether .
