are there any specific threads or posters that you look out for?.
Ditto Magnum's 1st corky dot, also Data-dog's wit especially the parody of the 'ole KH favorite song, We're J Witnesses ("Once there was a guy named Chuck"...cracks me up every time) and Outlaw's memes are classic.
Blondie's scholarship, she would be a great elder, why to be able to quote the publications like that, chapter and verse.
soon, near, special, and obey.
You could add the phrase "would do well by...".

elders don't qualify for clergy malpractice insurance, even if they wanted it.
no divinity school degree.. .
A minimum of a Master's Degree in Theology to acquire coverage? LOL! The WTBTS would have zero elders if that were required to qualify for eldership.
The vast majority of them are qualified for very little except giving form talks and asking scripted questions. Shoot, most of them can remember the names of the people in their own service group. I could go on and on.
i hear a lot of stories circulating about jws in russia.
the government is raiding houses for literature, just like the old days.
an eldub was rambling during the wt study about jws in russia.
Apparently the Russian authorities have a "problem" with the effect that their shunning policy has on family integrity.
this is the story of how i ended up here on this site.... .
i was stuck in a situation where reaching out took forever, an eternity.
it was ridiculous - no matter what i did, there was always more to do.
by your tone, you sound as though you wish to have the WT version of a successful life. If you had been assisted in reaching those goals, the end result would have been in the end disillusionment. Consider it the greatest favor the WT ever did for you. You are free to have a better life, enjoy it.
the new arrangement for co's to handle deletions (and appointments) means you no longer will be able to give your friends on the body an excuse and step down.
you will have to answer to the co and most likely have a long uncomfortable chat about everything with him in order to step down.
so if you have been thinking about stepping down, you need to do it quick before the new arrangement..
@sparrowdow: correction, they don't have time to get to know poor, lowly nobody publishers, but they quickly learn the names of really "spiritual" brothers that can offer comfortable accommodations, gourmet meals, and Men's Warehouse gift certificates during their visits. I am certain that brothers of this caliber shant go unnoticed for, ahem, speedy appointments.

The "appointment over all the Master's belongings" is YET in the future.
new handill for convention: see the relationship here: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/.
note: i'm not saying the wt is part of the illuminati, just noticing the use of "a world goverment"..
@Darkspilver: Let me guess, was it Bro. Loesch (sp.?) on last years handbill?
what should we ask barbara anderson .
soon to be interviewed by jwstruggle.com.
she is a former watchtower writing dept member.
Who are the members of the Board of Directors of the WTBTS, are they baptized JWs, and what is their backgrounds? Does she forsee at time when the Board's directives conflict with the wishes of the GB and could the GB be "fired" and sent packing since they have no real legal authority?
