It is the cull because of the lull. the more "elders" in the combined congregations the better. true believers vs "need greaters" my needs to advance

Big Cull of Foreign Language Groups and Congregations
by eyeslice ini overheard mrs eyeslice listening to '2021 governing body update 3' yesterday.
apparently, they have started ditching foreign language groups and congregations as these weren't exactly roping anyone in.
of course there is a positive spin on all this - '4,000 plus elders freed up to serve in local language congregations' and of course there has been immensely positive feedback from various branches about the benefits of this.. i suspect though there will be an awful lot of elders who were serving as king pins in these congregations who are going to have their noses put out by going back to local language congregations where they will barely be used.

Daily text 15.4.21 Unbelievable hypocrisy. Don't be the master of another's faith
by Diogenesister inyoutuber "king of fader's" caught this unbelievable piece of cant from watchtower in thursday's life and ministry 'daily text'.. (based on 2 corinthians 1:24 " not that we lord it over your faith").
"jehovah has not given us authority to make personal decisions for others.
someone who makes needless rules is not protecting his brothers safety - he is trying to become the master of his brothers faith.

Passages like these make it a goldmine to do the daily text with the family as a pi/omo. A real life experience:
Sub Questions to the precious daughter: (too precious to be made a wt slave) with mother listening in
who was writing this ? "Paul" who was he: "apostle, bible writer"
Trick question: Was he part of the Faithful and Discreet Slave ? "yes!. " Think again, there was no slave before 1919. right. so:
was he an elder? "yes, an important one" see: they are not masters over your faith. or you. They just imagine they are.

Humans can be dishonest and corrupt.
DD: some humans are, but only a few societies take pride in being dishonest corrupt, make conmen national heroes.
One large group even executes the most corrupt. that segment might turn out the strongest.

That's dumb, you talking about her Nigerian roots. Check out the most educated Africans in the US, without that bias.
pc: what bias, the class people excel, no matter in what direction they advance. and I did not say they have a monopoly.

The Difference Between Doctors & Nurses and Police?
by Simon inwhat is the difference between doctors & nurses, and police?.
studies have estimated that medical errors cause 250,000 deaths per year in the us.. police only kill around a thousand people each year in total, with only a small number being unjustified or accidental.. so the difference?.
police are expected to be perfect and for all the hype, you're are far greater risk of being killed by someone in the health industry than by a cop.

doctors and nurses treat patients, the police the most impatiens. often too gently.

what are Nigerians famous for? honesty, respect for hard work, earned wealth."
Jb: if Simon would add a zoom feature to this good forum, you have to discern that this was said with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Trying to avoid being politically incorrect, racist. and
To think that such elite values are now the standards that the USofA and allies are fighting for.

New war - Russia vs US?
by LoveUniHateExams ini've read a couple of articles recently about the situation developing in ukraine.. in 2014 putin sent russian troops into crimea and annexed this area.
crimea has either an ethnic russian majority or a substantial russian minority.. there's also an area of eastern ukraine called donbass which, again, either has a large number of ethnic russians or a huge amount of pro-moscow rebels.. so, vladimir putin is currently sending tanks, jeeps, guns and soldiers to eastern ukraine, and ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky is also fortifying adjacent areas with ukrainian troops and military hardware.. nato and biden support ukraine and biden has apparently sent two us warships to the region.. where is this all going?
where is the eu in all this?.

Old grievances that go back to 1918, to treaty of Brest Litovsk, when the whole area, Crimea did not belong to Russia, still simmering.
Russian propaganda speaks of preventing a Crvenica type massacre against Russian speakers in the area, . A "tonkin" incident to happen. What an irony, when the Jugoslav murders were perpetrated by Russian backed Serbs.
Hope no more fighting will happen. poor populace.

That may be the case at the congregation you know. I saw that in one elder at a congregation I studied.
jp: it takes a while to see behind the curtains. In my active years as a special, it was often the assignment to abate conflicts created by strong domineering personalities.
believe me, wt would love to have drone elders tempered by their ruling wifes, but, that is another can of worms altogether.
