so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.
only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.
he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.
Yes when I resigned 6 years ago (after being out mentally for years before that), the BOE asked me to just take a little "time off" from responsibility and rethink my decision. I said 'no thanks' so then they offered me a MS position and again I said 'no thanks'.
I truly believe that hundreds of elders would welcome being removed because they know that they are slinging bs in the congregation and it really stinks. Real life is-------well real and full of freedom!

incredibly, fred franz once announced at a district convention: "yesterday a sister approached me and said, brother franz, why do we have to keep our children up so late just so they can attend the meetings?
i responded sister ***, would you rather have a tired child or a dead child?".
*cue rapturous applause*.
Franz was a nut job as we have all discovered so everything he said is "old light" from a dying "generation" of blow hard, self righteous, sob's who ran the borg for decades.
We had a DO back in the 80's in the Fremont, CA area named Yasko. He was a short, beefy, boneheaded sob. Very pious sucker. So in one of his talks at our circuit assemblies, he talks about disciplining children of which he had exactly NONE. But he made it very clear to the audience, "just because I've never laid an egg, that doesn't mean I don't know what to do with it". Yes he really said that! What a smug mf'er.

honestly, they really have nothing going for them except that they are in an exclusive club.
they are in a better place than anyone else.
they have it over everyone else because of their superiority.
It sure made me feel special and elite. Until I realized how utterly stupid it is to think that your religion along has all the truth. TTATT make us feel better because we realize who we really are.

the elders did not stay long and it wasn`t an official visit sanctioned by the boe/cobe because they were not from my (ex)congregation.
we talked a little about my situation and the fact that my wife does not talk to me and how non-scriptural her behavior is.. then they mentioned the rc and how it was the best convention for the last 20 years.
one thing they did mention was the fact that the borg was clearly preparing them for persecution.
If anyone creates enough crap (like rutherford did) sure you're going to get negative attention. Persecution is a word used loosely to to hide the fact you are annoying and obnoxious.
I can't believe that '2 elders' have not visited me yet. I went from elder to inactive in about 2 years. Me thinks that they may shy away because I was never one to follow the crowd in the boe meetings. I almost always had a contrary thought or 2 to get the elders to think about what the bible said and not what the fds said. When child baptism came up I always mentioned that the bible said NOTHING about children or even youths being baptized. Acts talked about both "men and women" being baptized after they had gone over exactly NO QUESTIONS in order to QUALIFY for baptism.

blondies comments you will not hear at the 07-05-2015 wt study (satan)(may 15, 2015 issue).
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/.
the 4th of july in the us is mainly a misnomer.
Great summary again Blondie. I enjoyed everyone's comments as well. The depth of the writing committee is very shallow as we can see.
Yea Sarah could have been a problem, unfit? (lol) if she had had an adulterous relationship and screwed up the lineage of Jesus, but David and Bathsheba not??? Solomon and his many sluts not??? Really stupid reasoning to say the least! (I mentioned this point to my uber duber wife and she just shrugged that it was jehober's decision.)
Cowardly Abe pons off his wife twice as his sister and then gets her 2 suitors to pay him handsomely because jehober threatens them in a dream. Nice scam Abe!
The guy looking at the laptop in paragraph 10 looks like James Gandolfini viewing an episode of The Sopranos or maybe a CO viewing the latest crap he is suppose to deliver in his service talks.

at long last, after 140 years of failed prophecies, it appears that the borg finally got one right!
recall the odd little article published back in the november 15th, 2013 wt about the 7 shepherds 8 dukes (anti-type) and the evil assyrian (anti-type) and some silly nonsense about the assyrians attack on the vulnerable wtbts.
page 20 paragraph 17 of that strange article contained this foreboding prophecy from the faithful and discreet slave, (anti-type);.
Those bastards, they prepped everyone up. AND IT WORKED!!!
Yep and it worked so well without most even knowing what was going on kinda like the invisible presence!
the wt today was horrific.
i was jumping out of my skin.
the writing department has hot to have some lose cannons writing.
Looks to me like Abraham and Sarah were great scam artists. As they wandered around in the ‘wilderness’, for whatever stupid reason they did so, they would likely run low on provisions, so good old Abraham pons his half-sister/wife off, first on Pharoah and then on Abimelech who both want to take Sarah for a wife. Well, in steps jehober to the rescue and both Pharoah and Abimelech are threatened by jehober. Both realize that they have been scammed. They then ‘give’ the Abraham/Sarah scam team a mother lode of sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, male and female slaves, and Abimelech even throws in 1,000 pieces of silver.
Moral of the story is; lying, deceit, scamming in the name of jehober pays off big time. Sort of like ‘theocratic warfare’ where anything goes. And, no wonder the Israelites were a bunch of nut cases. The ‘father and mother’ of the nation were in an incestuous relationship.

Recall the odd little article published back in the November 15th, 2013 wt about the 7 Shepherds 8 Dukes (anti-type) and the “evil Assyrian” (anti-type) and some silly nonsense about the Assyrian’s attack on the ‘vulnerable’ wtbts. Page 20 paragraph 17 of that strange article contained this foreboding “prophecy” from the “faithful and discreet slave”, (anti-type);
“At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.”
Well, that time came less than a year later for jehober’s people to ‘receive direction from jehober’s ORGANIZATION that was NOT practical, was NOT sound, and was NOT strategic from a human standpoint’. And, we were “ready to obey ANY instructions” and we did (at least here in the USA)
So how was this “not practical, not sound, not strategic prophecy” fulfilled?
Dear Brothers,
Please send us all your cash that’s in the congregation’s bank account, deed all kingdom halls to the borg, and send us a monthly tithe equal to the amount of your former kh ‘mortgage’ payment—for life.
Warm Christian love—the gb!
