March KM also gives instructions to POs

by stillajwexelder in

also in the march km apart from the big front page article about awake being monthly - is a rebuke to pos to distribute kms as soon as they arrive.

i am glad about this - far too many pos are control freaks and distribute kms at last possible minute - it is almost as if they are saying - i am better than you because i get my km about 3 weeks before you do.

anyway we got our march kms last night and they were distributed immediately

The gestapo tactics of the Service Department (Bethel CIA) rise again. The KM is a product of the Service Department and is used as a means to ~~beat~~ communicate with the sheep. How is it that the "Christian" Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses feels it has the authority to infiltrate and regulate every aspect of of the dub's life?

Perhaps a reading of Acts 15:10 is in order for Ted "The Boss" Jarascz head of the Service Department (Bethel CIA).

" Now, therefore, why are YOU making a test of God by imposing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our forefathers nor we were capable of bearing? 11 On the contrary, we trust to get saved through the undeserved kindness of the Lord Jesus in the same way as those people also"

Snubbed by an eldub

by SadElder in

haven't been in the door of a khall in nearly a year and haven't had one visit from any of my old elder "buddies?".

did have two newer eldub idiots stop by about two months after i stopped completely.

told them that if they were there to complain and bitch then they might as well get their fat asses down the drive and not come back.. ran into a eldub that i served on the body with last weekend, he completely ignored me even when i acknowledged his existence.

SadElder

I decided next time I see him I'm going to give him a one digit salute and not acknowledge him.

Did you notice that they were a lot of "rich Witnesses" in the organization

by inquirer in

i remember this guy once, after the book study (the one where you go to someone's house to study a book) boasting on this house he wanted to buy!

it made me feel sick!

he was showing off so much!

SadElder

Through the years we've served in several congregations. Some were quite status conscious others couldn't give a rat's butt about who had what.

Because we've always had more than enough we've always tried to put people at ease who had less than we did. The measure of a man in our mind is what they do with the wealth they have, be it riches, intelligence, quick wit, or kind heart. We have a big house, in fact two of them, what does that make us? Nothing, but old farts with two houses. But alas many dubs are indeed impressed with the have's. Let them eat cake.

Name Things That You Can Be Counseled For

i'll start.......a woman wearing a skirt higher than her knee and a child crying during a meeting

SadElder

Some of the rules we've seen over the years, some of which have been directed at us from time to time. We would just roll our eyes and say, WHATEVER

Two door cars, can't use them in the service

Too many gatherings - why they couldn't be called parties who knows

No wanking

Skirt length inspections by some over zealous elders

Various hair length inquisitions against the young brothers

Not enough gatherings

Having too much money

Too many autos

Too big a house

Too many vacations

Dangling earings or earings that were too large

No hose or panty hose, even in the heat of summer one CO told all the sisters he wouldn't work with them if they failed to wear hose in service. My wife told him to "get the hell out" of her car. Wish I'd seen it.

On and on and on... rules of the week keep on coming

song writers of wtbs songs..

.

i remember about 1993 or so at an assembly some name dropping of who wrote some of the kingdom melodies.. anyone remember any?

i dont remember any of the names dropped and would like to.

SadElder

The one who had the most influennce over the last two song books was Karl Klein. Very much a Salvation Army horn man. There was a fellow named Vern Duncombe (sic??) who was part of the last song book assemblge. Hece the umpa feeling of most of the songs. He was a Klein favorite.

There are some talented writers among the dubs, but generally they are kept on a tight leash. Folks we knew back when that were involved in the music arrangments

Tommy Mitchell , Drew Wasko, Ted Adams, Danny Baker, Harol Blanchard. Doug... forgot last name... from Florida some were, Mark Nevejans. Several of these guys were / are really talented. Perhaps if they were given more latitude the songs wouldn't be so mundane.

Awake on Obesity (Nvember 8th, 2004)

by GermanXJW in

jw
friends

the recent magazines of november 1st/8th, 2004 target obesity.

while awake!

contains a 12-page-series, the watchtower contains a qfr on "how do christians view overeating?

SadElder

Recently certain Bethelites who were deemed at risk because of their weight have been required to engage in special exercise programs. These are programs that place during the regular work day and are not optional for those individuals. The word that came down was lose weight or go home.

A test program is underway using several target groups who will have regular one hour exercise programs tthree times a week as part of their Bethel service. The word from my Bethel healthcare contacts is that too many of the "family" are much to sedentary and something needs to be done to help them. Read that "e need to keep down health care costs."

Where's the beef?

by rockhound in

jehovahs witnesses look to their watchtower magazine each week for new light that would set the course for current "truth".

in looking back over the last 40 years of my association, "new lights" batteries ran out many times and had to be replaced with even newer ones.

some how this made sense to me at the time, but as time past, i began to wonder just how these "new light" articles could be called meat in due season.

My sentiments exactly. Though I tend toward the more cynical when it comes to the current JW self made kings. Thanks for the post.
