Did You Ever Have a GOOD Body of Elders?
by Warlock inwhen i came into the org.
in the early 1980's, we had a good body of elders.
they took the lead and cared for the sheep.. the oldest was in his mid- 70's, had a sharp mind, great sense of humor and was just plain cool.

What keeps you from killing yourself?
by AlmostAtheist inevery once in a while, the whole "futility of life" thing washes over me and something inside of me mentions the suicide option.
not that it's ever seriously considered, but one of the low-level accounting-types in my head quietly sends around a "worst-case scenario" memo that everyone reads, then dismisses.. after all, things always perk up.
"but," reminds the pessimistic little guy that should've been fired years ago, "they always go back down, too.

Another JW email circulating...
by Elsewhere ini received this from someone who needs to be anonymous....this one will turn your stomach.
it's supposedly from a sister in the brazil branch.
perhaps so, but the timeline of the story and age of the individual weren't clear to me as i read it.

Loss of Elders
by metatron inlarge numbers of jw congregations are going to be trouble long before they lose their last elder to death or resignation.. most congregations i know have at least one - and often several - elders who can barely function at all, due to illness, old age.
or just plain inability to accomplish anything.
the society seems loathe to remove these men, despite their 'elder in name only'.

How long is Armaggeddon suppose to last? Is it going to last many years?
by booker-t inis armaggeddon going to last many, many years or is it going to be quick, fast and over with in a matter of months?
i know the bible does not say specifically but if you were to guess what would you guess on the amount of time for armaggeddon to last?
jehovah and jesus have enough power to destroy the world in minutes.

WARNING: Is this life all there is? JW's etal believe what you are told...
by sinis inafter much thought and research, i with heavy heart, must say yes.
i know there is a creator or supreme being of somekind.
the chances of life just happening flies in the face of all mathmatical probability models.
