  circuit overseer worship

  by Magnum in

  for over thirty years i observed among jws the phenomenon of co worship/idolatry.

  i, myself, was somewhat guilty of it even though i rather quickly caught on and detected something wrong.. think about the week of the co visit.

  during that week most attention is given to and most thought is about the co. the supposed sovereign of the universe takes a backseat.

  I wonder while reading this how completely crappy it is to be an elder. Why bother with it? this is why all the somewhat cooler men don't want it.

  my dad was asked to be a MS he answered....nah I like to watch a good rated R movie.

  my mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.

  she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.

  she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

  was there some "new light" discussed at the recent jw conventions" about "3 heavens" ?

  i saw someone on facebook saying they're really going to have to review their assembly notes especially the information about the 3 heavens..

  Yes there was new light and it is about a third heaven. It is so irrelevant and stupid he might as well have found another stomache in a cow. The third stomache. i guess new light was needed to spice up the day?

  Every congregation sets up their own personal viewpoints on matters based on the elders pet peeves or that of their wives.

  every hall is a sub cult under the common cult.

  Some halls are heavy drinkers but better not play Bunko or your in the back room. Other halls won't touch the booze but will bingo and bunko away.

  in the end what fun the hall has or doesn't have depends upon the elders cherry picking from what pleases them. Oh and it could change too depending on the life situations of the elders doing the picking.

  this elder is in his hot tub right now with a beer.

  That is greedy on their part. It should be free. What overhead And insurance and taxes is he paying on that?

  money is more important than his grandchild.

  i would buy an entire circus before giving him a dime,

  oh and let him know he has to pay for his own anniversary party....since you just bought a circus

  Women elders, what difference would they make?

  by Freedom77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, let's do a big what-if: suppose the gb for its own unfathomable reasons suddenly got new light (tm) and decided to start appointing women elders and ministerial servants.

  they would, of course, refer to the examples of junia (apostle), and priscilla and phoebe (deaconesses in wordlyspeak) in the greek scriptures; never mind what mental somersaults it would take to get them there.

  stranger things have happened in wt history.. that being the case, would having women in positions of real authority make any significant difference in the congos or in the borg as a whole, and why or why not?.
