Bookmakers visit 1975 not failed
by Lostandfound ini am going to place my first ever bet on the new overlapping doctrine proving the 1975 prophecy has not failed as overlapping years means we are still in 1974 overlapped with all of 1965 onwards.. also what odds will i get on steven lett not hinting at donations for all of march?.
or odds on bro turd not announcing a letter to all bethel families that henceforth they give the society a monthly allowance.
or odds onmarx brothers all being gb members serving back in the 40s?.

Mill Hill - Chelmsford, reduced capacity, any news on Chelmsford plan revision
by Lostandfound inchelmsford looks to have much less work than in mill hill complex, if gb spirit guided why did they allow massive plans for new site when such significant changes must have been in discussion, planning , or contemplation.
knee jerk reaction to things looks to indicate someone or more on gb has instituted changes almost overnight.
my dog plans his day better, get up, walk, sleep, eat, walk some more, eat some more, and sleep again.

Where did Judicial Committees Come From?
by Lostandfound inmuch deserved bad criticism of wt in press, the arc, uk charities commission etc.
why do he wt insist on the self inflicted wound of the jc process.
i recall being threatened by an elder when i was going to the police over child abuse , if wt just disfellowshiped proven child abusers etc and then had the competent authorities made aware of matter then it seems to me much of the bad press etc wt gets would be limited.. granted wt is different to other organisations/religious groups, by the nature of trust built up in the brotherhood, and the close contact over some time with vulnerable ones, for abusers to take advantage of.

Quality of newer membership
by Lostandfound inon a previous post mamacita29 pointed up the low quality of new jw converts.. is the quality falling even more as the society use lower than low meeting, talks, broadcasts etc.. when i was active initially the organisation and standards seemed totally different today.
i have seen hard working intelligent elders fall by death or exhaustion.
the younger generation that came along never really grasped responsibility hence shortage of good elders, never mind the watered down to almost nothing quality of meetings.

...and other Animals 2
by Lostandfound inas well as most congs having a number of bro no works there were generally some outspoken ones who at the hint of an issue or problem demanded to know "what are we going to do about this..." bro hard nose, who generally wanted to have firing squads set up or a talk from the platform but surprisingly they were never going to do anything, just get other elders to take on more work.. bro no work and bro hard nose seemed to have taken a course in criticism as that was their speciality why is this happening, who is sorting this out, when will this be done, all questions that indicate an interest but not enough to do anything.. eventually with one bro hard now who had demanded to now at an elders meeting what was going to happen to a family who "harboured" a disfellowshiped daughter, i cracked and asked him, what are you going to do, because i bet it is the same as me, nothing, i respect the parents for having the moral and physical care of their daughter in mind".
one circuit visit was from paul presland, a kind enough brother who had a severe limp.
my son almost had to be chained down as he followed the co and mimicked his limping.
