a few minuites ago talking to my sister who is finally seeing the watchtower for what it is and is scrutinizing it alot brought something to myu attention that troubled my longtime jw mother dearly.

she said after reading the article about the death of guy pierce she noticed that they never refered to him as brother pirce.

she said everytime they mentioned his name they refered to him as mr. pierce.. .

I noticed this too. I know its a piece of PR, but the "misternes" is a little weird. I mean, the person speaking is a brother talking about another brother. Why not refer to him as such? Whatever.

GB when they die, there's a paradox

by pixel in

so, i was thinking about pierce's dead.

so, supposely he is in heaven, right?

and down here on earth, they are going to give a talk about him, maybe with his body present or his body already buried, but the question is, if his body is still here on earth, what went to heaven?

pixel

All crazy. Where is Pierce now? in heaven?? so, why his body is still here? what ent up? the soul? the spirit?*

*I don't belive in none of this. Just bringing up how crazy the GB/WT/FDS/TheBig7 are.

Is not that what other religions call soul??

TO ALL CONGREGATIONS Re: District overseers

Dear Brothers:

March 20, 2014

We are pleased to inform you of a significant decision made by the Governing Body that will affect the work of traveling overseers worldwide. Effective September 1, 2014, the organizational role of district overseer will be discontinued. The responsibilities previously cared for by district overseers will be simplified. Some aspects of their work will now be cared for by experienced circuit overseers and Bethel representatives.

This simplification will mean that many of those who are now serving as district overseers will be able to use their spiritual qualifications and rich theocratic experience in serving once again as circuit overseers. We very much appreciate the role that district overseers have filled in training others and in strengthening the organization over the years, and we know that these spiritual men will continue to be used by Jehovah in a mighty way in their new assignments.—Isa. 60:17.

Please accept an expression of our warm Christian love. [No, I don't accept your conditional "christian love"] -Pixel.

PS to coordinator of the body of elders:

Please arrange for this letter to be read to the congregation at the first Service Meeting after its receipt or after the next Watchtower Study, whichever comes first. Thereafter, it should be posted on the information board. If the circuit overseer is visiting your congregation, he will read this letter at the conclusion of the next congregation meeting. At circuit assemblies and special assembly days, the letter will be read by the last speaker on the program at the conclusion of his talk.

Assuming Ray Franz's depiction of the "2/3 majority" needed to make policy or doctrinal changes still holds,

We have to make something clear, this policy of 2/3 still holds, because according to the instructions from the GB/FDS/WT to the BOE, the majority always and the minority have to submit. So, it holds true. The BOE applies it to every decision. The majority always wins either if is 2/3, 3/4,4/5 or whatever.
