  Ask An Elder

  by BeeEmBee in

  ok, 4 questions sprang to mind in light of the recent elders letter.. if you get to the kingdom hall and its on fire, brother a says he saw brother b set it ablaze purposely, .

  who do you call first and why?

  if you get to the kingdom hall and the sound system has been stolen, sister a says she saw brother b loading it onto his van,.

  and they start delivering their message of judgment?

  what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.

  i'm curious how people will react.

  Updates and fixes

  i thought i'd spend some time cleaning up the forum code and wanted to let you know about some of the recent changes and fixes:.

  the avatars and in-post images used to use a separate imaging service which was convenient but didn't provide much control over caching which meant that each day you visited the site you were probably re-downloading those images again.

  as they are immutable they can be cached for a long time which saves bandwidth and speeds things up.

  It's not only in Chile, it's in Peru - Flag in Kingdom Hall in Peru

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  2. friends

  this is the first photographic evidence i have seen that the kingdom halls in peru, like the ones in chile, put up their national flag for their independence day celebrations.

  i had heard rumors about it before, but now we have evidence.

  don't know if we'll have to wait till next year for more evidence, but now i have both peru and chile on my list of places to go and visit!.

  New Monthly Broadcast - BE LOYAL! - Shut Up and Sit Down!

  by ttdtt in

  1. watchtower

  the new broadcast is - predictably - about being loyal to the gb.it's a shut up and sit down message.. one of the funny things they keep bringing up is the correlation between the gb and moses.those who don't listen to the gb are like korah.. this is a false choice, why?let's look at a quick comparison.

  (this is from the point of view of the bible).

  was moses directly picked by god?- yeswas the gb directly picked by god?- well no, we actually are not told how the gb are picked and why the qualify.. did god talk to moses?- yesdoes god talk to the gb- no, they admit they are not in direct communication.. did god inspire moses to write laws and judge.- yesdoes god inspire the gb to write laws and judge.- no, they admit they are not inspired, and they are always wrong and need to change things all the time.. did god give the israelites undisputable proof that moses is his channel?- yes, many miracles visible to everyone one around happenddoes god give jws undisputable proof that the gb are his channel?- no, there is no proof, actually contrary.. was moses ever wrong?- nohas the gb ever been wrong?- every time.

  The Fear Obligation and Guilt is being ramped up.

  The paranoia is clearly being felt by the GB as people realise that they actually have no control over them...

  just following the "worst-district-convention-ever" there's a lot of frightened jw's worriedly and eagerly excited about the "great tribulationnnnn-tam-tam-tammmmm" starting.

  it's the talk of the town in jw land.. today, my wife is off to the sunday meeting and an after-spiritual-banquet-get-together for the speaker.

  i'm staying home for this one.

  Elders/MSs and Higher Education

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  would a brother who is an elder or ministerial servant be looked down upon or ostracized for endeavoring into high education?.

  the reason i am asking this question is because i know of a ms who went to and graduated college (us) with a masters in science and engineering.

  he also taught these subjects at an adult education program.

  Thanks for posting that letter sir82!

  If stuff like that doesn't scream CULT ALERT, then nothing will...

  Imagine telling people whether they can or can not choose to become educated!

  the watchtower november 2016, page 16, par.

  "some may feel that they can interpret the bible on their own.

  however, jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only* channel for dispensing spiritual food.

  What the Org Teaches #8 "Jehovah's Witnesses" is Our Scriptural Name!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  #8 "jehovah's witnesses" is our scriptural name!

  jehovah's witnesses are taught (and believe) by their hierarchy in brooklyn that the name of their religion is based on the bible itself.

  a little bit of research comprehensively reveals that the statement which was written in isaiah 43:10 about the jewish nation 700 years before christians appeared, has been corruptly and un-scripturally adopted as a "god-given" name.

  And the context of Isaiah promoted things like: wars in gods name, misogyny, slavery etc....so should we all be "witnesses" and imitators of that behaviour too?

  Hi Simon,

  Firstly, THANKYOU for this great site and the community it supports.

  I know it must be a huge job to keep the site active!

  I noticed something today when I pasted a link to a past thread into a current topic.

  It was one I started 8 months back called "eagerly awaiting the death of billions" (or something like that!). It seems that although there were over 35 comments made on that thread, only two are visible...

  It was a thread that I thought might help one of the newer posters here, as many had contributed great comments.

  Is that thread lost, or can it be salvaged somehow?

  Thanks again for all you do!
