i was reading in the shepherding book that elders should “ cultivate and maintain friendships with one another.”, and thought to myself “bulls$it!” i remember that most of the elders in my old congregation were nothing but nasty asses.
i know it may vary from congregation to congregation, but do elders generally get along with each other behind closed doors in elders meetings?
or, are they often in conflict with each other?
Elder No. one can really ruin what should be, if bible teachings would be really applied, a really great arrangement. because many honest hearted come in expecting and giving such.
I do not understand why the wt power is not used to weed out the "elder ones."
That is where the rotation of positions in the early 1970s was great, because it stripped the psychopath, narcissists of their headship trip after a year.
wt organizing freezes the whole into a faceless morass. not smiles, grins.

what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.
she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.

Why? for what purpose? SL: some of the nicest places, Hawaii as an example, are the result of Volcanoes. Tsunamis should teach us to not build on sand, but move up the slope to get a wider Horizon. en toute Liberte'.

The feet separated by the Atlantic ocean or the Pacific, if you consider Hong Kong tied to Britain, both have their iron (right) and clay (left) cleft now. They really dont mix. often have to be separated by a police cordon.

i thought i would post an encouraging experience i found today.
i've been seeing a lot of 70-80 year old jws waking up, and their children are posting their experience on reddit.

We know, we will not be judged by wt standards.
