  Is their any evidence/proof that the G.B.enjoy first class flights accomodation in their travels ?

  i`m just curious about the travel arrangements of the g.b.members when they travel overseas to conventions in europe , africa , australia , etc.. is their any verifiable documents /receipts etc.

  that prove they stay in the most up market hotels , or fly first class in planes ?, being treated like v.i.p.`s ?.

  no human being is exempt from the temptations of abusing his power or position of authourity , especially when big money is involved , and the g.b.

  Steve2 makes a good point, there is no "den of iniquity" (inequity maybe) or over indulgence here. The focus should be on the harmful arbitrary policies and the huge money grab.

  let's pretend that a suspicious presiding overseer k. eepclean, alerted by a misbehaving microwave oven to an apostate infliltration of his flock, hides secret recording devices in kingdom hall furniture, and transcribes the conversations... .

  since like most pos, mentally he's more than a few nickels short of a quarter, he needs help to figure out who said what.. so, please study this photo:.

  here are the conversations:.

  Outlaw, no self-respecting man would wear a purse like that, only a fully dipped He-dub.

  A: Hey, I'm a brother with priveleges and a job, what more do you want?

  B: I'll cut back on my hours at work so I can pioneer, you can keep your full-time job at the pet store and we can live in your parents garage apt.

  C: I'm not going to tell you what to do but the WT says...

  D: I don't care, I out-rank you old man.

  E: I'm giving my first public talk this Sunday, any do you wanna come over and play "Zombie Apocalypse"

  F: I'm getting the hell out of here!

  G: I told you, your spiritually weak, Mildred.

  H: But Brother Elderstein, I only have 60% use in my lungs. Elder: but remember the sister in the iron lung that pioneers.

  I: I'm sure glad your mommy went out into the world and got her accounting degree so I don't have to work and keep my MS position.

  J: No Comment. Strikes a nerve!

  K: Maria, just because the other sisters avoid you doesn't mean they don't love you. Love is what distinguishes us from Chrisendom (sic).

  the God's Kingdom Rules book is a simplified "Proclaimer's" book with a thick coat of 1914 fanfare/white wash.

  Seriously considering stepping down as Elder

  by fader77 in

  2. experiences

  i have been an elder for 6 years.

  it's been the last 2 years or so that i've really seen the hypocrisy, but the ability to know the shenanigans of the society through the body of elders letters has kind of kept me in there.

  i'm to the point now that i can't stand the hatred and bitterness that the body of elders has towards myself and my whole family.

  PS, Little Toe's talk is one of the most genuine and loving talks I have ever heard from a KH platform.

  It is not worth the misery to yourself and your family just to " know the shenanigans of the society".

  Tell the BOE that you need to step down because you have lost your "balance", need to care for the family, are depressed, etc.

  At RC, Splane says 1000+ new KH's needed, last year only "60" new one's built.

  by oppostate in

  so there are now regular, full time "construction servants" and their help is much needed along with regional rbc volunteers, who better get working because over a thousand kh's are needed and last year only sixty were built by the u.s. branch.

  .

  splane also said that just with the new baptized this weekend all over the u.s. we had one whone new circuit, so we better put more work into building needed kingdom halls..

  In my area, they maintain four congos (~80 publishers each) in one refurbished hall to separate the people who through the years have burned bridges, swapped mates, molested children, started family feuds, bad blood, and many other similar shenanigans.

  Yes they do travel with physically intimidating brothers who serve as "body guards/assistants" when traveling. However, thet also have others who are care-givers at Bethel. I know a Bethelite who took care of an elderly GB member and his wife as one of his assignments.

  Local Kingdom Hall Speakers To Be Replaced By Governing Body Video Feeds.

  by donuthole in

  so we've seen as the current gb is getting more facetime in an effort to reach the hearts and minds of the rank and file.

  this took a leap with video feeds at an open annual meeting.

  the international conventions are taking this a step farther.. do you think that local speakers at kingdom halls could ever be replaced by headquarter approved video feeds?.

  The feed from WT would not necessarily have to be live, but could be pre-recorded service meeting parts, talks, announcements, etc. There would be a way to "select" a certain talk as per the KM such as :

  "eTMS_14_Oct_01_special needs"

  im really channeling my inner blondie with my observation and critiques of these new watchtower videos.

  something about them really turns my stomach.

  Excellent critique WC.

  BTW, I knew an elder & wife that lived in a custom-built 250-300K home (expensive in this area), wife drove current model SUV (good for service) and wore expensive yet drab-colored outfits (linen, cashmere, etc.), and they were accustomed to yearly jaunts to places like Martha's Vineyard in NE. The congo. only found out because they were on vacation there when the FAA halted all air traffic after 09/11 and they were "stuck" on Martha's Vineyard.

  Bottom line, totally unrealistic with 99% of J_Ws, myself included. The contrast with reality is breath-taking!
