    The elders now have the right to be involved in every facet of a Witnesses' life! They want your phone numbers, cell numbers, they are to be inquired of if you want to take a sh*t. These "good" men will turn into power hungry masters, if they are not already. The Society is taking control over EVERY JW!

    Did they get new powers recently.

    That sounds like a dictatorship....

    When I served as an elder and was the book study conductor, Watchtower conductor, etc. I had the name, addresses and phone numbers of every one in the congregation. I knew who went out in service and how many hours they put in. I had knowledge of the good, the bad, and the ugly. But now they can call your cell phone 24/7. Keeping tabs on you every minute of the day if they want to.

    I pay 30 cents a minute for my cell phone calls, so if they knew my cell number and if they called me, I'd tell them to pay that for each minute they pest me.

    Don't give the elders your cell#. If you have a landline and it is already listed in the book or online, give it to them. But not your cell #.

    Or give them the number of some interesting business.......like the local strip joint.

    I work with the public and have had people put that down as their number...was I surprised when I called it.

    Well, I buy a card from Bell, called Bell Mobility here in Canada, and it costs 25$ and lasts 2 months or so many minutes of calling, no matter if I make or recieve a call. So yes, each time I receive a call, I pay for it.

    So, basically it only costs me 12$ a month to use my cell phone, as long as I don't talk too much...lol

    Just tell the elders, it better be a natural disaster if they call you.

    I doubt that the elders will be calling every day to check up on you unless they think you are doing something to be DF'd for.

    Just don't give them your cell #..........are you going to give them $500 every time they demand it....I know that out of 100 JWs there is only one that dumb, well, maybe one out of 200.

    No, JH, it sounds like a cult that's becoming more extreme by the day. Next step -- Jaracz-town and Kool-aid.
