Stale bread and tap water should not be too difficult to supply. Old donuts could be collected after FS. Other than that, what does the man deserve? Jesus said feed my sheep, not FEED ME!

Abuse of elder position and platform
by KAYTEE inthe craziest statement (not lies not incorrect application of scripture) just total abuse of elder position and misuse of platform.
an elder when on the platform(or as some might say the stage after all the majority are actors made a statement to the congregation because his wife was a bit sickly asked the bro/sisters to arrange a rota to make his dinners.my thinking was if he can't feed himself how can he feed the flock.visiting brothers could not beleive what they heard they thought he was joking.. i can asure you this elder wasn't noted for his humour.. kt.

Do you truly WANT the Watchtower to collapse? If so why?
by nicolaou inthere are the abuses of course, the diabloical 'two witness' rule applied to allegations of molestation, the reckless 'blood ban' in all it's tortuous complexities (which by watchtowers own admission has resulted in many fatalaties) and the cruel punishment of shunning which has caused so much suffering and pain to many of us here.. is it for these reasons that you want to see the watchtower fall or is it simply that you want to see them humiliated and broken for what they've done to you?
most of us aren't bitter or selfish enough to want personal revenge against the watchtower but i'd be lying if i said i didn't sometimes think like that.. the reason for my original question is that i sometimes feel a bit hypocritical.
i try to accord respect to jw's and individuals of all faiths, (yes, even when i go off on one of my atheistic diatriabes) but whereas i allow myself to be hostile to the watchtower i shrink from being so forthright against other 'christian' faiths whose corrosive nature may not be so easily apparent but is there nonetheless.. i guess my question is; why do we want the watchtower to fall but do not wish all religion to fall?.

Ian-
I'll pick up an extra chandelier for you at the disposal sale, and you won't have to wait 100 + years.
Cheers!

Yes, I want to see the Watchtower collapse, but not for the reasons as many -- I need new chandeliers for my hut, and I could get a good bargain on their lavish lights. Then I could tell all of you (those bitter and those sympathetic) - "I have the new light."

Adherance to the Third Reich showed loyalty to Fatherland. Same old crap! These are dangerous men, totally deluded, and haters of Christ and his position.
Mary- Yes, these men fulfill Bible prophecy as Anti-Christs.

Folks! hanging? shooting? acid baths? rot in prison? Lots of opinions... I say, send him to Brooklyn Bethel and make him slave there and sit through the rubbish meetings. That could cause more than a rope burn. Bleeding ears year after year listening to New Light in total darkness. Make him listen every night to past talks by the Brilliant Ones- Russell, Rutherford, and Franz.

Should Elders show concern for the sheep???
by KAYTEE ina couple of instances in my last congregation - .
1. my wife and i live in an old converted water mill, a couple of hundred yards from the river wye, which has a habit or rising and falling 25 feet in a matter of hours.
one particular bad year the whole county of hereford was almost under water, it was shown on tv with all the fields flooded as the river burst its banks.

Why should they start now! These pompous pseudo-clergy should all be relieved of their duty and join a lowrider car club or a gang of thugs where they would be well suited for weekend bullying.

Tell them you flew in from the Left Coast, specifically Beth Sarim and you have a message from Isaiah, Exeziel, and Danel, but you can only share it with the entire Bethel family at dinner. They'll love you!
