Unbelievable!
I agree with what jwfacts said above!
And, isn't it amazing that it only happened as a result of "satan's world" making them do it!
this week all congregations in australia have been instructed to make the following announcement:.
if a member of the congregation would like a copy of the child safeguarding policy of jehovah’s witnesses in australia, please see the coordinator of the body of elders or the secretary.. .

this nugget of spiritual bullcrap is in there 2014 yearbook on page 4. .
paragraph 2. early in this service year, at the annual meeting of the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, the new world bible translation committee released the newly revised english edition of the finest translation of the bible available to mankind.
jehovah used his own spirit-begotten sons to provide the original new world translation.
Self-Praise is no praise....
today's wt study spoke about being modest and avoid presumptuousness.
here are 7 questions that the watchtower forgot to add in the article.
questions to ask: .
Great thread!
Yes, when it comes to "faithful and DISCREET", they certainly are masters at irony!
pennrecord, monday 20 march 2017. in his lawsuit, pressley claimed a wal-mart store manager remarked to him: “you don’t have to go to those meetings.
you can be spiritual here,”.
pressley then claimed a store manager gave him an ultimatum to either stop attending his meetings or be fired.. wal-mart and ex-assistant manager who claimed religious discrimination settle lawsuit.
The irony is that the Society demands of witnesses that they don't work certain times....or face threats of judgement. When the shoe is on the other foot, witnesses claim harassment!
had a great chat with a jw on my door yesterday.
girl 1: .... i dont think you would.
me: ________, and say hi to my uncle ________ for me.. girl 1: i will.
Very odd that they would stay for that long and interact with you once they knew you were DF....
Usually that would be enough to send them running....
imagine this exchange in the door-to-door ministry:.
.... jw: hello my name is tom, i'm with a group stopping by briefly.... householder: i'm sorry let me interrupt you right there... i know all about you people.. jw: oh really... what do you mean?.
householder: you are that wierdo cult that believes in all sorts of delusional tripe... how can you let them con you like that?.
That is about right...
Those within a cult can not see the reality unless a comparison is made with a different cult. Even then, some will choose to remain blind.
as we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.
), and the other would be for baptized publishers.
these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.
Thanks for bumping this thread!
Those letters are invaluable!
1974...SO CLOSE.......(hmmm)
i've just finished eating a slice of delicious birthday cake!.
depart from me, for i am a sinful person.. tee hee hee.. sylvia.
Did anyone get their head cut off because of this birthday cake incident?
i bought a house literally in walking distance from the local kingdom hall.
we used to get saturday morning doorknockers on a regular basis.
then it stopped.
The video is some sort of highly charged, emotionally manipulative stuff with slow-motion montages of life "in a perfect world" with emotional music....
The way the society uses emotion nowadays is unbelievable!

i am compiling my list of reasons.
you can add yours if you like to.. 1. religions like telling their members to pay a lot of tithes thereby making their members to be in need and poor..
You use the expression "Tithing"?
Are you sure you come from a Witness background?
