  Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"

  by sparrowdown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my thoughts are.

  1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.

  i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

  Old is Becoming New Again?

  by Tazemanian-devil in

  is it just me, or does it seem like jw.org is returning to some very old methods from rutherford's era?.

  - their carts / booths is very reminiscent of the sandwich board system, including the fact that they no longer personally engage.

  - showing videos via the tablet / smartphone is almost exactly like the phonograph method they used.

  I think they would have more success if they sold sandwiches from the carts ie instead of a sandwich board a sandwich cart.

  the "pre-letter" for the october 4 2015 letter is now posted to the jw.org for elders and it matches what had been leaked.. looks like we can confirm that the preliminary letter and the main letter are legitimate.. unbelievable!.

  I agree, the sister was caught off guard and gave a fast-brained candid response. Aka she let the truth slip out.

  Most translated website in the world?

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. social
  2. current

  https://www.tomedes.com/translator-hub/most-translated-website.php.

  i wonder if this is true.

  lots of people commenting after the article about how it's proof of g#ds blessing.. so if jw.borg ever gets overtaken in the rankings does that mean the blessing has left the building?.

  First talk is all about how to bend spoons using the power of your belief.

  (You wouldn't want to waste that power doing things that actually contribute to yourself or your community)

  I can't believe this will be the last convention where I won't believe the things heard but will claim to believe and go along with them anyway because the WT threatens me with shunning if I don't!

  Just can't believe it.

  i was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....

  i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..

  so i texted her back immediately with fu..

  I've decided to go with a total phone/email blackout. Let them jump through the hoops, if they want to see me they are going to have to try a bit harder than that. We shall see.

  Thanks again everyone for the words of encouragement, thoughts on the matter and personal experiences, your individual perspectives are appreciated muchly. xxxxxxxxxxoooooooooo
