Our COBE(Coordinator Of Body of Elders) Cried at the Kingdom Hall

by James Jack in

it was announced recently, that "bro.

z is no long the coordinator(76 years old), bro y(60) is now the new coordinator of the body of elders".. you see, bro.

z has been an elder for 43 years and 35 of them as the cobe/po.

It also, maybe unreasonably, makes me angry that they promote apple products that are so dang expensive.

I agree Great teacher skills can be taught but how on earth can pensioners afford iPads for goodness sakes??

Sail away your post is so incredibly sad. He believes he has done the good " Christian" thing all his life, it must make you so angry for your poor kids and grandson though - oh how those GB have a WORLD of suffering to answer for.

Same for the OP....elders or no, they are just so much materiel to a soul-less organization that makes a multi- national look compassionate towards their retirees.

Long time lurker, first time poster ...

by LettMorrisSplaneit in

i finally had the guts to create a profile to be able to post.

i've been lurking for a few months and have read all your experiences and comments dutifully.

you have been a great help in my process of waking up from this cult posing as the one true religion.

Diogenesister

Hi there! Love the name! Whatever happens don't let them upset you, stress you or drain any more of your resources, mental & physical, than is absolutely unavoidable to ensure your peaceful home life.

Take back your life!

Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?

by stephanie61092 in

this is a legitimate question.

did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?

did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

Diogenesister

I 'm a bit manic so I found the pace of everything so painfully s-l-o-w!

religion is sitting in a church and thinking about going kayaking. Spirituality is sitting in a kayak and thinking about God." Love it!

2+2=5 when you're ready to write a post in the OP's first language we'll be all ears....I'm guessing you are multi lingual with an attitude like that, yes?

Pro Gun Florida mom shot by 4 year old son

by Witness 007 in

loaded gun under her car seat was picked up off the floor and the kid shot her in the back...the day before on facebook she boasted about his shooting skills.

what is wrong with this picture?

Diogenesister

She's been raised in a cult....the cult of the gun. Will this lead to some cognitive dissonance for those in the cult? We can only hope.

Strange people you have studied WT and Bible with.

by kaik in

when i look back into era when i conducted bible studies i recall several nice people, but also weird and strange.

my last bible study was with couple who were the new capitalists; people who earned a lot of money often by illegal means.

i am sure they were dangerous, but i have not perceived that way.

Diogenesister

. His family were right wing extremist where grandpa was a member of Slovak Nazi guard or SS unit during WWII.

Dear god Kaik, am I right in thinking you are Czech? Hungarian? Either way it doesn't bare thinking about what Nazi Grandpa got up to during WW2. Not to be upsetting anyone but the local Nazi sympathizers - Hungarian Arrow cross? the French the Ukrainians the Lithuanians were terrible ! were the Czech Nazis the same? Oh my god Liddice! Anyway - the locals always seemed to be so much worse than the Germans...oh so willing to do their dirty work. You were right to run a mile!!!

Getting back to the OP I had one, not weird exactly ... a young- ish girl whose boyfriend came to sit in. He would offer drinks..tea whatever, and say " bob's biscuits" but not once, like 20 times!. Then he would say it a couple more times when the study began listen a while ..say it again and leave ....now I look back he may have had Tourettes syndrome.

Bobs biscuits!!! The funny thing is I can't stop saying it myself now sometimes when I give out biscuits! Its stuck in my head! Instead of me passing him a meme he's given me one!
