Another one: There is a doofus elder, who has to always be seen to be doing the "right thing". He wont even walk down the side of the street that has the local picture theatre, as he doesn't want anyone to assume that he has been to the movies!!! Weirdo..!!

What weird/strange expierence you've seen/had with a DUB?
by stillAwitness ini remember a sister and i in service and we were lost finding the territory.
instead of making a u-turn into a church parking lot right beside us to turn back around (we were on a one-way street and cars were behind us) she refused and instead went all the way down to the end of the road, into a neighborhood, and onto someone's driveway just to turn around.
of course sis.

WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site
by Quotes inin compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".
the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).
my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

Brand New Blood Card
by PoppyR inhubby has just come back from the service meeting where they have been handed out brand new style blood cards, now called 'advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment' .
it's quite a bit different.
and has the line on it about giving permission to the hospital liason committee to see your notes and medical records.. very scary stuff i think, and i certainly wont be filling one in.. i'm really short of time tonight, but will scan it in, along with the notes that go with it and try and post it some time over the next day or so if someone else doesn't beat me to it!.

"AuldSoul
But under the new policy the HLC will KNOW when they cave. UGH! This organization has to be stopped. "We're not policemen." Truer words were never spoken. Policemen have to have at least SOME reason to snoop. They are KGB, CIA, or Gestapo, but without the training." -

Living proof: Elders are not spirit appointed
by IP_SEC inwitnesses say that elders are appointed by holy spirit.
the bible is the product of hs and when the body prays and uses the bibles qualifications for older men in the context of the perspective candidate hs is involved in his approval or disapproval.
then when the co passes the recommendation on the gb (or who ever actually makes the decision) these spirit appointed men are influenced by hs.. all well and good, the only problem is, it does not work.

In reality, the appointment of anyone to ms or elder is a popularity vote, yes they may have made you jump through a hoop or two but in the end you get their vote and you are in. What about when a forceful elder has to battle the body and gets you through? Was that holy spirit? I think not, just someone who can argue.

Some of my last stuff as an elder, was in reality some of my best stuff. Prayers that actually meant something, and praying for people like the victims of the tsunami in asia and not just the JW's. I gave an instruction talk on Bible Cronology from the si book, well i got my material from Jonnson's Gentile Times revisited.
I eased right up on any form of pressure to the Book Study that I conducted. If they wanted to do RV's or have coffee, fine with me. My book studies went to 40 minutes MAX. If I got to take the WT, just kept it moving, not getting bogged down or saying much stuff myself. Same with Service Meeting parts, use some of my own questions and keep the part brief.
Asking and at times stating the obvious say related to how many hours it takes to baptize one person.
Basically in JW speak......I was slack!!!!! and proud of it. AND glad to be out of it..
