i’m reservations, pimo elder.
i’m in no position to leave the organisation, maybe some people will see that as weak or whatever, but we have to all go down our own path in life.. i would like to be able to wake people up in my congregation, how do you think best to do this?
any ideas?.
I would imagine there are a ton of JW elders reading this thread who are currently experiencing the same struggles & can relate to your predicament Reservations. The following advice from truth_b_known will benefit y'all:
firstly i appreciate the work mark o’donnell does for the xjw community.
no doubt this has also been discussed numerous times before.
but with regard to those documents that were illegally stolen in that vice documentary.
joe134cd...point well taken!
Lesson for everyone (based on your illustration) pay your damn taxes & you have less to fret about!

I believe this was the conversation that took place between the Palmer congregation elders where the child sexual abuse documents turned-up missing and WT Headquarters:
Palmer Congregation Elders: "Hello WT legal...we thought you might want to know that a ton of secret files...many containing cases of child sexual abuse that we've handled over the years are missing and we think they've been stolen. Should we press charges against the perpetrator?"
WT Legal Department: "How in the hell did that happen...didn't we give you instructions a while ago to destroy secret files and folders of that nature? No dammit...don't press charges...you might open-up a pandora's box & a can of worms of trouble for us here at Bethel! Sit tight...let's hope the police and the media don't find out!"

so, my spies tell me that the east pennines a$$emb£y hall is being sold and all proceeds going to jobo hq.
there's a surprise.....not!.
i understand there are other properties too.
Once they own your AS(S)...they can sell it whenever they want without any opportunity to challenge that decision.
Sorry George...couldn't help it!🤣

i don't suppose anyone knows for sure, but do we have any kind of hint of what would happen if all of the governing body members died at the same time- such that nobody was left to appoint successors?
in lieu of any solid evidence, i'd also be interested in hearing some speculation based on what we already know about the organizational structure.. it would certainly throw a wrench in either the teaching that the faithful and discreet slave will survive into the great tribulation and/or the implied doctrine that the the gb succession arrangement is justifiable biblically.
let me firmly disclaim any implication that i am encouraging violence or wishing death on the governing body.
If all GB members died at once?
One can dream...can't he!
in my opinion, in a body of elders let’s say with 7 elders , 2 or 3 were pretty much on the ball.
they were reasonable, intelligent and moderate.
the others were either extremely extreme about everything or very liberal.. did you have qualified older men or were they all lousy to you?
"...but in common with nearly all Congregations, Pastoral Care was/is virtually non-existent."
Most (90%) Elders, out of necessity, come across as leutenants, company men, yes-men and enforcers of WT's unscriptural doctrines. You'll see very few with genuine people skills or who excel in good-bedside-manners!
So in answer to the OP...No! Very...very few WT/JW elders quality to serve the needs of the rank & file!
david splane’s talk “put up a hard fight for the faith” was that last talk presented on the saturday of the annual convention.
this talk was to largely address apostates and restated ideas and arguments often presented before.
however, this year, watchtower is spending more time in disqualifying negative findings originating from secular courts and here is the segment of interest here: .
There is a particular need for those who have experience in litigation, corporate matters, data protection, real estate transactions...
The above quote is from the August 2021 WT BOE letter.
These kind of specialized individuals normally make 6, 7 & up figure incomes. I think for 'Mother' to put out a formal call for this kind of muscle (that not even Jah can help her with) means she has some tough legal battles going on right now with a lot more to come in the near future!
(Y A Y...Happeeee!)

The way the Watchtower handles judgement is ---------THREE ELDERS, IN A SECRET MEETING, USUALLY AT NIGHT------WITH NO ONE TO REPRESENT THE VICTIMS
ELDERS BECOME ---JUDGE-JURY, and EXECUTIONER. ----and that is not THE JUSTICE WAY OF JUDGING PEOPLE.
