  Governing Blunders - Part 1

  by hillary_step in

  i thought i would start a weekly column of wts inanity, inanity serious enough to have affected peoples perceptions and negatively changed their lives.. .

  one famous wts myth that i have heard uttered more times a minimus question is that ?women feel while men think?, did you ever wonder where the wts dug that thought up from?

  apparently from an unamed woman psychologist and the famous department of ?many authorities?

  Apparently from an unamed woman psychologist and the famous department of ?many authorities? that the WTS frequently relies on.

  For decades the unwritten rule in watchtowertown has been not to seek the help of "worldly authority", yet they can go to them and take their advice and advocate it in the pages of their "rags".

  As a results thousands of devoted women have suffered at the hands of abusive dubs because of articles such as this.

  I hope they get their just reward very soon.

  When Ray Franz was also dumped at Bethel, Ed got him a job, and let him stay on his property. They were long-time friends. Ray was having lunch with Ed one day, and some dumbass bitch dub turned him in.

  Have you got your facts straight?

  New dub scam

  someone tell me if i'm making an ass out of myself and posting something that has already been discussed here and i missed it.....k ?.

  anyway.....the dubbers have a new deal goin on at least in my neighborhood.

  my wife had briefly mentioned some of it to me a few days ago, but i heard it firsthand working the other day where the dubs were working some apartments.. the dubs go door to door and say they are volunteers for the deaf community and are searching for people who are deaf.

  gumby,

  I don't believe this is new. In the last few years quite a few deaf congregations have been formed. Your local dubs are probably establishing territories.

  Something similar happened when I was a member of a new established foreign congregation. We would go from door to door and ask if any of their neighbours spoke that language.

  The new approach is to introduce yourself as a "community volunteer" doing a "community service". They make themselves sound like they are really out there to help.

  What a joke !

  Unusual things that happen during prayers

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's a nice warm summer in a welsh sea-side town and the chairman is giving the concluding prayer.

  he starts to slow down and then there is a pause.

  it lasts long enough to make you open your eyes and lookup in time to see him wobbling backwards and forwards.. two brothers leap to the platform and catch him as he is about to pass out but then, in a rediculous scene, instead of helping him to a chair they prop him up between them and one of them carries on with the prayer!

  During the prayers, somebody would always let one rip. One time the smell was so intense it made my eyes water. I spent the rest of that prayer trying to figure out who let out the stink bomb.

  are you an elder in the congregation?

  timothy 5:17, ephesians 5:23; hebrews 6:10-12).

  yes, an elder needs to ?accomplish his ministry fully.?

  I remember clearly that Km97 question from reader. The night it was considered, I raised my hand and expressed my thoughts. I made the comment that covering one chapter a week so as to finish the book in 6 months was almost impossible with 99% of students. Did I ever get the evil eye from the elder and others in the audience. Now its back to taking your time and bring in other information and read more scripture.

  I always felt like a yo-yo trying to follow their directions.

  Thanks a bunch Blondie

  This "sister" is obviously not seeing the big picture. She thinks that the problems lie locally with a few "jerk elders". She doesn't see that the root of the problem is in Brooklyn with the men there and their flawed policies that have ruined thousands of lives.
