well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.
organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.
and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.
The current GB know they are faking it. They are faking their claim to be of the anointed. The previous members were not all fakers. Many honestly believed they were anointed and called by Christ as members of his body.
Such an honest belief brings with it an inner recognition of responsibility. But when it is faked no such responsibility exists. The current GB are simply enjoying the ride for the ride itself. Fakers to the core.
Well said.
when i say jw hero i mean a jw who courageously did what was right despite the indoctrination and peer pressure to conform to cultishness.
i have an unknown jw hero that i've never met but only heard of from an experience relayed to me about an incident at a jw funeral.. i was told that at a jw funeral internment, a non-jw put a wreath in the shape of a cross on the grave.
shortly thereafter a jw elder came up and removed the wreath.

Jehovah knows what is happening in the Christian Congregation. Do you need to tell Him?
the jw broadcasting barrel that is.
easy to do.
too easy.

the dawn bible students association has a problem.
ken fernets, when on the phone, shows his true colors to women who call.
he engages in flirtatious speech.
i have just found out that my brother (who was one of a bunch that shared this login) has died.. he and his wife were living in another country where they once pioneered.
i didn't see him that often.. such an empty feeling.....
does anyone have any theories why our territory that's be reduced six or seven times over the last twenty years is not covered anymore?
we use to cover our area in less than six months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going.
is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit?

Does anyone have any theories why our territory that's be reduced six or seven times over the last twenty years is not covered anymore? We use to cover our area in less than Six Months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going. Is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit? Why are Witnesses not zealous anymore, are they burned out, have they lost sight of the prize?
Instead of working the territories to death, "we worked them to life" so why does it take over three years to complete our territory when we have three times the JWs living here? The sluggish slave won't make Jehovah's faithful slave happy, what are we going to do to get people motivated to preach more?
Because the preaching work is over? It appears to be over now.
the following link is a pdf of the charter for the watchtower bible and tract society of new york as of 2003:.
https://jwleaks.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/watchtower-bible-and-tract-society-of-new-york-charter-and-certificate-of-incorporation.pdf.
my question: is the governing body in danger of removal if they do not adhere to the charter?.
Does anyone have a copy of the current Watchtower bylaws for Pennsylvania and/or NY? I found a copy of the Amended Charter and Certificate of incorporation dated 2003 at the site below, but not the current bylaws:
A partial quote of the bylaws for the Watchtower from 1917:
http://watchtowerdocuments.org/documents/1917_Facts_For_Shareholders.pdf
"By-Laws
"(I) It shall be a law governing the Board of Managers
"of this Society that, while a majority of the members shall
"constitute a quorum, as specified in the Charter, no matter of
"business shall be decided with less than a majority vote of
"the seven members of the Board.
"(2) There shall be a regular monthly meeting of the
"Board of Directors, held the first Thursday in each month,
"at which general reports shall be made concerning the status
"of the work, and especially as to the state of the Society's
"finances; and otherwise to enlighten its members fully as to
"what our Society is doing. Special Board meetings may be
"caIled at any time by four of its members."
i was told there was new light by a former jw.
i wanted to verify if it was true.
the new light claims the annointed class/144k is always male.
I disagree with the following statement made by Hold Me-Thrill Me:
I'm saying Jehovah's Witnesses are not following the Christ. They follow men. This makes them a false Christian religion.
This is a blanket statement. Not all of Jehovah's Witnesses follow men. I said in response to you, "Jehovah may be cleaning house." You agreed that Jehovah may be cleaning house.
