Its not what you do or what you know.

It's who you know and what THEY do !

funny how these people think that jehovah will arrange for a backhoe to fill a basement, or a storm to knock down a tree that the city won't let you remove, but doesn't prevent his young servants from being sexually abused, or whatever.. (gag-me email follow).

does jehovah know what is going on, and does he help?.

(as told by bro.

Funny,,,, I heard every one of these stories back in the early 80's.

I heard them from our po.

entities, like the gb don't exist.

people do.

entities don't make decisions.

"LOL and all under the guise of 1951's 'pure religion'......yet tainted by men's greed and lust.

We are the Catholic Church of Rutherford's era!"

Nope, sorry ! You are the Catholic church of Rutherfords era,,, Many on this site and myself are no longer any part of it

This Thread Is For Elders & Those Affected By Them

as an ex- elder, i can look back and see all the power and control we had as "shepherds".

when i was an elder i genuinely tried to comply with anything "mother" demanded of us.

i would reason that since "mother knows best", i would comply with the organization, even if it didn't quite seem so fair or right.. as time went by, i could not help but see the unfairness of soooo many rules and regulations.

There was an elder from my old hall, J. renfrow and man was he an idiot !

he had the reputation as the local pedophile because he was ALWAYS encouraging the young (under 17) sisters.

if you were a brother, he would ignore you totally unless you were pioneering with the goal of bethel service.

And guess what,, most members of the hall thought he was a total fool,, but he was a business partner with the PO (redman) and every single

one of his creepy traits was overlooked.

The good old boys club in action.

just like working with the witnesses !

years ago when i was working pt and pioneering with the brothers in the trades i found it funny how they considered themselves "experts".

in their chosen trade, it could have been painting/window washing/plumbing/construction, etc.. this video made me laugh,, mainly for my experiences working with the witnesses !

this is so on the mark !.

Will FULL-TIME Pioneers/CO's/DO's Be REWARDED More Than Average Publishers?

by african GB Member in

just wondering,...these "brothers" dedicate their lives jehovah,...surely jehovah should give them "preferential treatment!!!.

does jehovah "reward" his "servants" on merit/productivity?.

does he look "at the bottom line"...ie, who recruits more members?.

Personally I think for every 1000 hours you get a free petting lion in the new system.

HA HA !!

Thank you for clarifying this for me

As a JW or Christian did you have a hard time explaining why God hasn't appeared in almost 2000 years?

for the sake of less argument whether you're a believer or non-believer lets just for the moment say we can.

take the bible as it is in current form at face value.. i'm just going to cite a few examples of bible stories of god appearing and if we had been alive back then it.

shoulda been proof to all of his existence.. 1) leading the israelites out of egypt as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire at night.. 2) the waters of the sea miracously parting and allowing the israelites to go thru on dry land.
