  As always, I enjoyed your article Cedars. The're great and we often discuss them over breakfast.

  I am also of the opinion that watchtower may be asset rich but cash strapped. In the last decade watchtower has had to pay out more than we think. I think of all the cases that have been settled out of court---who really knows how much watchtower has had to pay out.

  What I have come to believe is that what happens at the congregation level is usually a pretty good indication of the system problems. I would say that biweekly there is a begging for some sort of fund. The "give give" talks are relentless. And there is not amount of money that seems to be enough for them. -----

  My hubby was appointed at the same time he was active in the so called "apostate" websites. As one fellow poster alluded: so much for the holy spirit's involvement. I have also been acquainted to a number of pioneers that faked their hours. I remember pioneering with an individual who worked the entire month and then reported 130 hours in field circus. What a joke.

  How often did you entertain the "Traveling Overseers", and did you regret it afterwards?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower

  i found taking the traveling overseers out for a meal, to be a waste of time.

  our literature regulary spoke of the upbuilding talk the local congregations received by entertaining our brothers.

  now some of the modern cos look at their telecommunication devices, talk of things not related to our ministry or phone it in.

  Growing up we entertained them everytime they came- Either for lunch or dinner. I got to see how these "servants" really took advantage of the world--travelling, fine dining, designer clothing. Heck they lived better than most the witnesses in the congregation.

  I wouldn't say I regretted it at the time. But these were occasions for a reality check for me. I got to see first hand the hipocracy and how out of touch these people really are.

  our special assembly day is tomorrow, although, i dont live in the states though but still, i wont put the theme of my talk up here; you never can tell, but, i will be mentioning some of the main points i will be highlighting.

  1) how jehovah views secular education.

  2) what should we be doing now with our precious time, considering that we are living at the finishing line of our relay race.. 3) are we heeding to the instructions given by jehovah's bride?'.

  The Governing Body - their own worst enemy!

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been giving some thought recently to what's going on in the minds of the individual governing body members, and what makes them tick.

  the process of listening to their talks for my "getting to know you" youtube video series, though draining, has been very enlightening.

  i now feel i know some of their individual personalities a little better than i did previously.. then there has been the tumultuous events of 2012. it's been interesting to note the way the governing body has responded to some of these issues, and how in most cases their responses have been woefully inadequate or even counter-productive as regards their long-term interests.. for example:.
