"We never solicit donations" - really?
by doubtfull1799 ininspired by this weeks clam article which again "reminds" the brothers pdf their obligation/privilege to donate "voluntarily" i have complied a list of articles or videos in the last 5 years where donations are indeed solicited or encouraged.
the society may argue that these are not actual solicitations because no plate was passed around.
but a donation box is just a more discrete and subtle version of the plate.

Professions in the Paradise
by The Real Edward Gentry inwe know there will be no money in paradise.

Poppy Farmer and opium producer.
Because we will all need some seriously powerful drugs to survive living with JWs for eternity!

Why do we speak out once we learn TTATT?? Because the Society TRAINED us to do so!
by stuckinarut2 ini was just thinking about how the gb / society hates it when people like us dare to speak up or mention anything negative about the society.. they try and demean us, or colour witnesses view of anyone who leaves - especially if we speak up!
we know the sort of rhetoric they have been spewing forth over the last few years.. but the gb needs to face the fact that we speak out because we have been trained to do so by them!
they have used scriptural passages to encourage us repeatedly to "preach with boldness"(acts 4:29-31 eph 6:19).

EXACTLY steve2! Exactly. The very thing they boast of, is then downplayed when the narrative doesn't go as they would like!

Dinosaurs in Paradise
by The Real Edward Gentry ini'm so thankful for sites such as this.
i realise it's our imperfection but god's organization is not always open to 'outside the box' thinkers such as ourselves.
i've been researching dinosaurs and god's reason for not preserving these beasts beyond the flood of noah's day.

If anyone has seen Ken Ham's "ark-park", you will note the factual depictions of dinosaurs ON the ark!
And, as everyone knows, Ken Ham is never wrong!

Positive Topic - ‘Good Elders’ or Extra Special Kindness shown by elders
by Farmer Jim1 inafter the last topic getting me mad, does anyone have a positive experience of dealing with an elder or a particular favourite elder that was a top bloke?.

Yes. In fact @wakemeupbeforeyoujo-ho 's father was one of the good ones!
As an Elder, he was always mild and calm. A great example even in the face of some really unwarranted and grossly unfair treatment. He displayed such dignity when forced to step down, that I feel he taught a great deal by means of his example.
He also was one of the only elders who really put forth effort in tailoring a shepherding visit to the needs of individuals.
He also took his assignments very seriously, and put tremendous effort into his parts.
Another elder that comes to mind is one that is no longer alive sadly. As I was fading, he took time to catch up for coffee a few times. He heard my concerns about some inappropriate things occurring in the cong by other Elders. He said something along the lines that "I will not rest until these matters are sorted" He also told me something once that still makes me wonder if he was kind of awake? "Never stop researching things"
We attended his khall funeral farce. Ironically, it was given by one of the very elders he assured me he was going to investigate!

From enemies to friends: Did it really happen?
by StephaneLaliberte inyesterday, they showed the story “from enemies to friends” at the kingdom hall.
my mother in law told me about it as she was touched by the story.
so then, later in the evening, i searched for the video and found it in the january 1st 2017 broadcast.

Yup! I know of plenty of embellished "interviews" at assemblies! For an organisation that calls themselves The Truth, these assembly parts are anything but!
