Is the elevated tone of the G.B disappearing..

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

and with it the language in the w.t loosing its authority?.

i ask the question because, with the g.b now appearing before members on their social media, and reluctantly on royal commissions my opinion is :-.

a) the g.b can no longer hide like wells's invisible man.

I think they're definitely loosing their grip, slowly. I think people's perception of the GB's elevated spiritual authority is dangling by a thread. But I don't think the GB's perception of themselves has changed one iota. Example: Tony's recent OBEY video.

I was pondering this just yesterday. I can foresee COs or groups of elders begin to question the GB and demand answers for all the mess going on (particularly money matters). Eventually the GB will be backed into a corner with no defense. They will come out swinging with all the elevated bluster they can manage, "HOW DARE you question Jehovah's authority!"

Apathy carts - Apathy D-2-D

by Zoos in

i think it was punkofnice who came up with the phrase, "apathy carts".

how apropos.. yesterday i encountered a car group of witnesses in my community as i was coming home from the gym.

actually, their van was blocking me from entering my driveway.

Zoos

Oh, and if he smiled, then looked away, and smiled again at you, that was "a return visit"!

My RC hearing brought forward. Will be in two weeks

by umbertoecho in

through this forum of wonderful freaks, i have met someone who is coming with me to my hearing.

initially i was slated for next year, but will be attending in two weeks time.

all is in place from travel vouchers, support, where to go ............very efficient and well done.

Pete Zahut: I would like them to be required by law to make a public announcement that acknowledges to their members and to the general public that there is a problem within the organization and offer an apology to those who have been affected by it and an outline of what they plan to do about it.

That would be the most agonizing punishment imaginable for the GB. They would rather bankrupt the entire corporation than be diminished into making a public apology for their ineptitude.

Go get 'em, UMBER! We look forward to your report when you return.

Elder's letter requesting details of solicitors, barristers and accountants

by jwfacts in

there was a letter sent to elders in australia on 18th november 2015 asking for details of publishers that are solicitors, barristers and accountants.

what would be their motive for these details?

the rest of the letter outlines 8 specific pieces of information to compile and send to bethel's legal department, and reiterates to collect the information only be "as you understand, without consulting the publisher.

Zoos

Would love to see a scan of the letter.

Funny grammar error in German Watchtower

by processor in

they seem to have laid off their proofreaders.

in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.

the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

How could Jehovah's Holy spirit miss this? Sam Herd JUST TOLD US of his confidence that Jehovah is richly blessing the world wide work.

I am befuddled.

I think it was PUNKOFNICE who came up with the phrase, "apathy carts". How apropos.

Yesterday I encountered a car group of Witnesses in my community as I was coming home from the gym. Actually, their van was blocking me from entering my driveway. I saw that they had just left my doorstep and were climbing back into the van. I waited patiently, even smiled politely. As the driver pulled forward he gave me an obvious apologetic look for blocking the drive. I winked, nodded... no harm done.

I didn't recognize any of them. I know they didn't recognize me. Why didn't they come back to my door after they knew I was home. I saw them pull into my neighbor's drives as they worked on down the street, but they never came back to the house where they KNEW someone was home now.

Apathy needs no cart.

So is he saying that when my wife is right she's a homosexual?

Are you thinking that's kinda hot? Are you thinking she should invite a friend over and be right together while you watch?

I put up lights this year

by Zoos in

i have always wanted to do that.. nothing special.

in fact, i have learned i'm not very good at it.

i have many talents.

Zoos

The first time, it is probably going to look either wimpy or sloppy or both.

Yeah, it turned out a bit wimpy. It looked a lot better in my mind.

Oh well. I had fun anyway.

Nothing special. In fact, I have learned I'm not very good at it. I have many talents. Christmas decoration is not one of them. (I struggle with posting interesting crap on discussion forums too.)

But... DAAAYUMM! I put up lights this year. Had a blast!

When the sun goes down a little more I'll take a picture and show off my low-rent display.
