looking after you dirty sheep can be a challenge for any of the 'gifts in men' among us.
thank jah that the faithful & discreet slave has provided an elder's manual for assistance, i mean, it's not as if the bible is any use in such matters.
here are some of my favourite pearls of wisdom to help us truly appreciate the blessings of the slave class:.
Don't worry about their DF standard.
* I have seen a JC disfellowshipping a person, and another (High Profile) JC cancelling the same disfellowshipping.
* I have seen the elders giving special attention to a disfellowshipped person (who is very rich materially); and refusing to reciprocating the greetings a disfellowshipped person (who is an ordinary man materially) gave to an elder--both happening in a wedding feast where I was present incognito.

Why are you afraid of being fooled by anybody? You were probably convinced of JW's extremism and blindness and came out. Good.
We want to convey the same to thinking JWs.
What would appear in my post (whether from me or from CO) is intended for JWs (not for ex-JWs)
The very fact that I am talking only about BIBLE and JWs is more than enough for anyone to know that I am here NOT for any other organization!
My strategy is simple--Using the same Bible and disproving the Claim of JWs that Bible is their authority!
My intention is sincere--I wasted half of my life with JWs--I sincerely desire it should not happen to anybody else.
Let us not spoil the discussion by any type distraction!

He will do it in the year 2015
Before that if he does, you know very well what will happen to him!

Cofty,
When I speak about Bible, you equate it with some other organization that is, in no way connectected with the Bible or JWs.
Let me make it clear:
Our subject is EXTREMISM and BLINDNESS of JWs--nothing else.
You will be convinced of this as the time passes by.

What you said about COs is correct. But this CO is now disillusioned, and is planning to come off the list next year. It seems you did not read what he sent to me:
Saturday and Sunday he was busy with Assembly, hence could read your replies only last night. This is what he says:
“I am happy that some of them (ignat, rocketman, island Man, and humbled) could read not only in between the lines but also my heart perfectly!
I will serve one more year as CO, then I will take voluntary retirement. From this week onward through 2014, I want to start a series in jw.net titled: MY EXPERIMENTS WITH “TRUTH,” a CO opens his heart.
It may help at least a few not to waste their lives, like me.”
He won't post directly, but through me!

Cofty,
“All of them were coming from the same ISP.”
Thank you for this clue. I was wondering what this BK and Rose Mary are.
Now when you said: “All of them were coming from the same ISP,” now understand what may have happened. I was transferred to my Head-Office last month. And nature of my work also somewhat changed. To avoid virus problem, I put a requisition for a second computer exclusively for net-related work. Office gave me an old computer. I am posting from this computer as I have somewhat relaxed schedule. I don’t know who was using this computer before me in this company of over 3000 people!
If you had told me of this earlier, we could have averted much wastages.
Thank you cofty!

Cofty,
I do not know who you are and what you are saying. But I feel like praising you for always saying negative, thus you make what appear in my post STAND OUT.
Day has no meaning without NIGHT.

This is the first message from the CO:
"William Claire Menninger, a co-founder of The Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, wrote 13 symptoms of mental illness. One of them is: “The attitude that I am always right and others always wrong.” This was the first jolt I received: What characterizes an individual’s mental deficiency perfectly characterizes the organization collectively. Since then I began to watch the Watch Tower IMPARTIALLY and OBJECTIVELY! It is nothing but extremism born of blindness!
Every teaching has its plus and minus; hence no point in declaring some teachings as false. I was reared as a pious catholic who was so delighted to serve as an altar boy. I still remember the catechism teacher telling me: Trinity is not a mystery. It is very simple—Father, Son and the Holy Spirit symbolize three major roles God performs (Creator, Destroyer, and Preserver). Always remember these three roles and act out them in your personal lives—DESTROY your vices, CREATE virtues in place of them and PRESERVE them. I used to wonder—what a nice and beneficial teaching.
When my family became JWs, I had to abandon this cherished teaching along with many others, despite the clear teaching of Jesus himself, who gave his parting commandment “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Mathew 28:19). No amount of interpretations can cast a shadow on this proof Jesus himself provided so authoritatively.
Church Fathers chose from an ocean of scrolls 66 scrolls as Bible canon; and same Church Fathers chose from an ocean of teachings trinity also. WT has no problem in accepting their canon and rejecting trinity teaching? Is this not arbitrariness? Especially when something is beneficial, why should it be categorized as false?
It all amounts to convenience. It is like how people respond to the proposal to widen the road. Road-users will welcome it as good news. Road-side residents will say it is bad news!"
though he is a typical wt slave, we are like david and jonathan.. in my most intimate conversation with him, i asked him:.
how do you manage serving an organization built on inherent contradictions?.
he said: organization helps people to grow spiritual, like any other religious organizations do.
Saturday and Sunday he was busy with Assembly, hence could read your replies only last night. This is what he says:
“I am happy that some of them (ignat, rocketman, island Man, and humbled) could read not only in between the lines but also my heart perfectly!

That is why he said: "Be discreet about it!"
That tells everything!
It means: "Who is going to know what you believe DEEP in your heart?" (His view is that we cannot change the organization, hence change your perspective)
For a circuit overseer to come this far--not an ordinary thing.
Yet it tells at least some JWs--including some COs--are visiting jw.net
