All the Corporation's meetings focus on the books / writers of the books
by garybuss ini have been to lots of sales meetings and sales training sessions and they are exactly like the watch tower publishing corporation's franchise book distribution division, jehovah's witnesses, meetings.. .
all the corporation's meetings focus on the books or the writers of the books.
the books are all written about the writers of the books and how all prophecy and all history relates to them.. .

how do you get ahead in the org?
by Azalo ina question: how does an elder move ahead?
what i mean is my father has been an elder for over 20 years and as far as i know he has never been offered any high profile jobs, co etc, never gotten to give the big talks at assemblies, etc, i was just wondering is there some type of politics that goes along with it?

Do I make you feel like this too...?
by ScoobySnax inin response to a previous post of mine about internet file sharing, a poster by the name of brad (anti-absolutist or something) told me that he's not suprised i "steal music files" as from my my previous posts he felt i'd been trying to steal the spirit out of this forum for a while now, and that he despised me more than jws, as my form of reasoning, he felt, was even more shallow than theirs.
admittedly i disagree with alot of posters here and will at times post pro jw posts as i see fit from my perspective.
some here choose not to answer any of my posts, some will and will mainly say i'm mis-informed to some extent, which is fine by me as that is what an open forum is about.

I cant believe this Trinity lark
by Hamas inone of the main things that hits you when you leave the jw's is that maybe you haven't got all the answers like you once thought, so you begin to question everything, wouldn't you agree?.
well, my eyes were opened to the prospect of living in heaven, and not on earth like the dubya's preach.
i have listened to plenty of audio files from people that have left the witnesses and have became born again and if that floats your boat then thats great !

Two door cars. A demonstration of love?
by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. ini would term it an outright act of selfishness for any witness to own a two door car.
how can that person expect that car to perform as an efficient source of spreading the good news when the fact is that is really disfunctional.
quite acceptable for going to meetings, but what about witnessing in the rurals?

Pioneers Assist Others program
by rocketman ini was still an elder and i was present at the elder's school about three years ago when it was announced that the pao program would be re-introduced (it was evidently in practice some years before).. the program was a problem from day one.
it was very hard pairing publishers with pioneers.
publishers who were approached and asked to participate felt that they were being thought of as "weak".

Back from the Memorial
by ScoobySnax inwell like i say, just got back from the memorial, have been going most years, but this year i went by chance (knew it was roughly at 7pm at the nearest kh) to my old congregation that i grew up in.
i didn't find the "evil" people spoke of here on this forum, or those too stupid to see.
all i did see was people i hadn't seen in years, and let me tell you, what lovely people they were.
