did the elders ever try to "adjust" your thinking?.
can you share what they felt was incorrect about your thinking?.
*** w03 10/1 p. 22 Appreciating the Purpose of Discipline ***
Christian Shepherds Discipline With Mildness
The same principles apply to Christian elders. As loving shepherds, they endeavor to build up the flock by providing instruction, direction, and reproof when needed. In so doing, they bear in mind the real purpose of discipline.

I am fairly sure this is where the scan come from:
Watchtower 2008 November 15th p. 12
"Help Them Return Without Delay!"
Anybody have a copy?
can anyone confirm that the 1927 edition of the finished mystery had the material covering ezekiel removed?.
i believe 1927 edition might have been called the "boxed edition.
".
Check here:

"An HTML version of the 1926 edition can be found at:

In the 1926 edition Rutherford's predictions for 1920 have been edited out."
when i was first appointed i did, not me myself, but the body as a whole.
good group of spiritual men.
at first a pleasure to serve with them.
I am SO glad to have read this post; I thought I was the only one who distrusted elders!
They are NOT spirit directed, neither are they spirit appointed as is often quoted in the Watchtower.
There may well be a few genuine ones, who have the best intentions!
but NOT the majority, who are generally on a power trip.
for those who like reading about mathematics, i recommend w.w. sawyer's books.. some titles of his are:.
prelude to mathematics.

VM44 - There aren't too many people interested in Mathematics!
I used Sawyer's books in 1972-74 when I was training to be a maths/Science teacher.
I just wish I had known about him when he first wrote them (1943) I was 11 then and could have coped better at school with them.
It is amazing that they are still available.
i was wondering what changes have you seen with assemblies now.compared to assemblies in the 1950's..
Despite all the changes; IT is still the same old story!
Armageddon is just around the corner!
ALL Lies!
i've always had this, horizontal depressions in my nails, they eventually grow out, but then another one will appear.
not white ridges just depressions.. any ideas?.

"White lines and horizontal ridges, however, although in exceedingly rare cases can be due to arsenic poisoning,
are almost certainly normal."
i think my mains reasons would be i don't believe they have "truth".
and i refuse to allow them control over me..
I couldn't sit there knowing it's not the actual "truth" without coughing out "Bullshit!" when I hear it.
This is why my wife won't allow me to accompany her to the KH; EVER!!!
I would shout out something similar in the meeting; probably "All lies!"
my old one sucks.. of all the strange ads that pop up here this is the oddest.
didn't even know there was such a gizmo..
Ice cream made with breast milk has proved a big hit in a London restaurant, with the first batch sold out within days of going on sale, its makers said on Friday.
The ice cream, called Baby Gaga, is made with milk expressed by 15 women who replied to an advertisement posted on an online mothers' forum.Each serving of Baby Gaga at the Icecreamists cafe in trendy Covent Garden costs £14 ($22.5, 16 euros).

They are a very dangerous cult and have far more power than you may think.
They will lie there way out of any situation to your disadvantage.
They have very little interest in what they call the truth.
Elders and above for the most part are just on an ego power trip.
