Wow...interesting footage!
There he is, living like a king in his manor. Living off the dime of all the poor witnesses worldwide who financed it!

What are the big black tanks that were installed and buried at Beth Sarim?
by Wild_Thing ini have been watching this video.
at about the 4:40 mark, the footage shows a big black tank with two windows (they look like windows).
at the 4:46 mark, you can 2 of the tanks already in the ground and they being installing a third one.

If the Watchtower corporation went bust
by Fred Franztone inwhat do you think would happen to jehovah's witnesses as a religion and as a people?.

It all comes down to control.
IF the GB maintain the control, and hold such power over the individual members, then the religion will continue in some form.
BUT, if the GB lose their grip of control (if members see them as the powerless men behind the curtain and not as "gods spokesmen") then things will disintergrate...

Clearly, undeniably, without doubt ... is there a term for introducing a thought in such a way.
by jwfacts inwatchtower article often introduce a point that has no merit with words such a "undeniably.".
for instance the watchtower 2014 august 15 page 10 says:.
"jehovah undeniably blesses the preaching work of christian women and supports them in times of trial.

My last Memorial
by Sour Grapes ini missed my first memorial last year in 60 years.
it always amazed me on this special night that the jw's forget how to park their cars in the parking lot.
i would pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where and how to park my car.

Nice post!
Um, so was it yesterday?
I didn't even know...nor did I care.
It is amazing once we "awaken" how insignificant the whole ritual is...

"Do not hold back good if it is in the power of your hand" Prov 3:27
by stuckinarut2 ini was musing over this scripture at proverbs 3:27.
"do not hold back good from those to whom it is due , if it is in the power of your hand to do so".
this passage has often been used to show that if we have the means, or opportunity to do good, or to assist others in need, we should act.

The next time I see the cart babysitters
by Sour Grapes inthe next time i see the jdubs standing or sitting by their carts sipping their coffee lattes or updating their facebook pages, i am going to approach them with the following thought process acting as an interested person.. do jw's believe the end is near?.
do you consider your preaching work to be urgent?.
why do you just let people walk by if their very lives are at stake?

This passage has often been used to show that if we have the means, or opportunity to do good, or to assist others in need, we should act. Failing to do so shows neglect, and a lack of love.
So thinking of JW theology, and applying it to Jehovah "allowing" satanic wickedness on the earth, it doesn't add up!
JWs teach that Jehovah is allowing satan to rule over this earth, and inflict all sort of suffering on individuals until he decides to act and save all worthy ones....
But would that scenario work in a family environment?
Lets say mother and father are having an argument. As they battle, the small helpless children are neglected and not fed for weeks, and have wounds and injuries that are not attended to. They sit in squalor and filth. Father thinks, "well, that's ok, because once this argument is over, I will attend to their issues"
But in the meantime, those children experience real suffering, for something that is NOT their fault.
So too with Jehovah.
What he is apparently doing is failing to show love by neglecting his children while he has a dummy spit argument with another powerful being...
He is "holding back good"
Thoughts?

Another One Bites the Dust!
by freddo init's goodbye to bristol - hengrove congregation of jw's and the inmates ... err ... members, will be sent to two other bristol congregations either side of it.. i'm told by two elders from bristol, england it is being disbanded on may 1st 2018. this is the 2nd congregation in this circuit to be disbanded recently - the 1st being portishead in late 2014.. hooray!.

You say that the Portishead cong has been disbanded too some "seven months" back?
Sounds like "sour times", as it is "over", and an "SOS" should be sent out to those "numb" by the news that "magic doors" can no longer be knocked on by "strangers". Although JWs will say "we carry on" preaching along the "roads" while wearing our cool "threads" and "nylon smiles" while in the "mourning air"!
OK...anyone??? anyone???
hello??
