  To all my congregation Elders :

  thank you for coming to my house so often because you were so concerned about me missing so many meetings.. ( actually, the only time you visited was when the circuit and district overseers were in town.

  you really showed them how concerned you were about your sheep.

  i now know that it is more of a duty than a concern.).

  Just seeing things from both sides. Say that the elders visited and visited. I bet we would all be complaining about all the un-welcomed visits and having to tell them to "P off." So what gives. How do they win. They are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

  Yes very interesting Barbara. I never knew that he ever visited NZ. It's quite likely that my Great Grandfather could of heard that talk.

  This ain't looking good for watchtower. I bet they have got some deep regrets now that they hadn't taken Candice more seriously.

  I find myself parroting this every couple of weeks. It amazes me how an organisation will spend countless hours and billions of dollars trying to get a new member and yet will do little if nothing to retain him. Be thankful my friend they couldn't be bothered.

  Edenone= now you can perhaps understand why they were so willing to lose by default in the gonzalo campos case and for fit the $14 million, in favor of handing over those documents.

  I would grin and bear it, out of respect for my dead parent. I recently went to the KH for a close relatives funeral.

  How do you overcome this JW excuse?

  by EdenOne in

  during one of those meetings that took place before my jc, one of the elders, who was a good friend of mine back then and used to come up with a few outlandish personal views about some teachings, attempted to counter one of my arguments like this:.

  eden - "well, if the truth doesn't change, why is it that what we teach as 'truth' has changed over the years (several examples given)?

  how can we dogmatically claim at any given moment that we have 'the truth' if our teachings keep changing?".

  Sounds like a similar reply I got when I tried to mention the Conti case. "Don't read overseas news papers because this would confuse me". Another reply I got to the gonzalo campos case was "he had better and more important things to worry about". In hindsight I think you got such an intelligent reply.
