  Were You Constantly Counseled By Elders & Others?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  were you ever told by the elders or others in the congregation that you shouldn't engage in a certain thing because it would be inappropriate-----yet you did it anyway?.

  sometimes, "mature" ones will tell an inexperienced witness what they should or should not do within their families.

  certain sisters were adamant that a wife should leave her adulterous or abusive husband and if they didn't the victims were shunned by their counselors!

  If The Elders Decide To Get You-----They Will!!!

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  please never think that you can reason with an "older man", a "spiritual shepherd", an "elder".

  elders already know what their agenda is.

  if they want to talk with you, they control the format.

  It's the WTS game and rules. Any elder or elder body who claims that they want to meet with you for your benefit is lying. Everything they say, think, or do is for the benefit of the WTS. Any quasi logical or legal response may be perceived as some kind of personal benefit to you but will mean nothing to them.

  Dallas Aposta-Crawfest -- A GREAT Success!

  i wanted to thank everyone who helped make this great event happen!

  everyone really stepped up and helped enormously... if it were not for all of you the apasta-crawfest would not have been anywhere as great.

  several people approached me discreetly to provide monetary support, which is greatly appreciated.

  I fought this battle 30 years ago. Had a brother who smoked pot to alleve symptoms from cheomtherapy. Doctors unoffically endorsed it. Did the public protesting and lobbying to no avail. I don't think we are any closer to having legal pot now than we were 30 years ago. Feds are not going to allow it.

  anyone ever been in a meeting and notice the constant head-nodding in zombified agreement that witnesses do.

  it drives me crazy!

  especially since it seems to increase and be accompanied by little "hmmms" whenever someone says something that is complete bullshit.

  I noticed when I was the theocratic school overseer that the audience was constantly bobbling their heads; by the end of the meeting, they also had the deer in the headlights look.
