Former Elders and Friendly Fire
by jst2laws ini fought many years from inside as an independent spirit trying to change or at least mitigate damage done by the wtbts.
i met ted jaracz, in the early 1970s when he was called into bethel to serve on the gb.
this mans control of the service department and the gb is what i have fought for 3 decades but recently conceded this system is beyond reforming.

NOT WAITING ANYLONGER
by jst2laws inexactly one year ago three other families joined us at our vacation home for a week of relaxation and stimulating conversation.
of the four men, three were elders and the other a ministerial servant.
together these four had 116 years as appointed servants.

Is it a Congregation or a tricky corporation
by jst2laws ini have been trying to make points with some in my congregation by dropping neutral hints, such as: did you know since 1985 we (they) do not baptize in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit but we have taken holy spirit out of the process and placed the spirit directed organization into the picture?.
i told several on their way to the convention to look for this as well as the emphasis in the drama on loyalty to the organization.
i havent been to the convention this year but may have to persevere through one more because two folks came back telling me they did not hear any emphasis on organization.

The GB and Evil, WHY?
by jst2laws inreading responses to jw72's current post i was reminded of a book i read more than ten years ago that makes it all fit together now.. being one who has hung on for years hoping for major reform within the jw administration i feel i now must accept reality.
why does the gb hang on to such unpopular and harmful teachings such as blood, confidentiality for pedophiles, disfellowshipping, meddling in personal matters, irritating people with their door to door preaching and on and on?.
years ago, i read a book by dr. scott peck entitled people of the lie.

Dominance, Control = Kingdom? .....NOT!
by jst2laws innow jehovah is the spirit; and where the spirit of jehovah is, there is freedom 2 corinthians 3:17. i see a common attitude in ex-jws that i at one time would have said see, thats the way apostates are.
it is the mutual resentment of being controlled.
some might find this to be normal considering the abuse of authority most have survived.

This is what Mama wants!
by jst2laws inreading responses to casper reminded me of our recent meeting with the co. he kept using the phrase this is what mama wants.
it seemed to be applied whenever anyone with common sense would have objected to what was being said or done.
however it was not employed by the co to excuse himself of responsibility but to give unquestionable authority to what he was saying.
