as a reminder, let people remember that in its time this magazine has one of the world’s largest print runs for a periodical.

JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

by Muddy Waters in

this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

feel free to add your own observations and experience.

the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

A "Spiritual" person is someone who gets at least 15 hours per month, and answers at least three times per meeting....

Theocratic warfare. Great video

by stuckinarut2 in

we all recall the appalling example of vin toole during the australian royal commission when he was questioned about"theocratic warefare".

here is a great video that shows how the society has used, and in turn tried to lie about "theocratic warfare".

Stay with the whole video, as it also shows the report from the 2002 Australian investigative TV show "Sunday" and the exposing of the term Theocratic Warfare.

Witnesses do not arrange to play a game of competitive sport (football etc....)

No, its "wholesome recreation" where no scores are involved....

That issue also stated adamantly "that we would never beg nor solicit for funds" and if money was not available, then that would be a sign to stop the work, as it would show that God was not blessing the work....

However, the modern day society has no shame, and has made many "appeals" for donations!

i thought that "the hand of God was never short"? Oh except maybe he lost out during the financial crash and has no more money?

Question for those who went to the RC

by joe134cd in

i'm just curious with all the happy clapping that is now going on with the singing at the conventions.

what has been the reaction to it with the r&f.

has anyone ever commented that it reminded them of a pentecostal revival meeting.

stuckinarut2

Slightly off topic, but the last convention we attended was the 2014 international at Melbourne in a large sporting stadium

The session finished with many "Mexican waves" going around the stadium, along with dozens of large banners with slogans like "see you in paradise" and other corny expressions!

So, as has been said, (frog in boiling water), this gradual change shows that anything is possible.

Who would ever have thought there would be songs with "karaoke" style lyrics on large screens in every venue and Kingdom Hall?
