Why is the Victim Always Wrong?
by Warlock ini lurked here for about 6 or 7 months, before i started posting.. i have read experience after experience in which the victim of gossip, slander, abuse in the congregation is the one who is made to feel like they are the ones who need to apologize, when they are the ones that need the apology from the perpetrators of the injustice.. .
one theme that continues to repeat itself in the congregation is this: the victim is always wrong and the victimizer is always right.

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.

The Field Service Numbers Don't Add Up
by Warlock ini took these figures out of the 2006 yearbook:.
total # of hours in field service: 1,278,201,985. total # of peak publishers: 6,613,829. according to my calculations this equals 193.2 hours in field service per publisher, which includes pioneers, special pioneers etc.. no one in our cong.
averages even close to 100 hours, let alone 193.2. can someone please explain this?

"Will I be Saved"?

"Apply it to Yourself!"
by Warlock instudy articles, the counsel is, "apply what you have learned to yourself".. from the platform, the statement made, many times is, "apply what you learn from this talk to yourself".
as the d.c.'s begin, once again, the counsel will be "apply what you learn to yourself".. so then, why do some individual j.w.
's feel they have to apply the counsel to everyone, but themselves?.

From Lurker to Newbie
by Warlock inthis is my first post and it is extremely difficult, but where else can i go?
