Prepare that if this does catch legs, JWs will only say it is Satan attacking Jehovah's organization.

comment from an uber dub regarding the $13.5 sex abuse case will just blow you away.
by joe134cd ini was talking to an uber dub friend last night who lives in the san diego area.
he knew nothing of the $13.5 million dollar law suit.
when i tried to tell him that this is a systemic problem, and that this could perhaps be the tip of the ice burgh.

preface question:
by mohrb inorder of operations is important, so, i'll ask a question before i make assumptions and start "fixing things.".
obviously, the site heavily encourages the viewpoint of former j-dubs and others who have disagreements with the political posturing of the wbts.
i get that, and see your points.

Do you mean active people who defend JWs on the site? I am active, give talks, go in service, yet would be considered an apostate if the elders knew what I really think.

David Splane Destroys the Very Foundation of 1914- Corp. Meeting New Light
by scotoma inat the corporate meeting david splane discusses the use and misuse of types/antitypes.. the main qualifier of a type is that an account must be represented in the scriptures as a. type of some future event.. he quoted schroeder who said if an account isnt explained in the scriptures as a type than you.
shouldnt use the event as a type.. splane summed up his talk by saying if the bible is silent - we must be silent.. but they go right on celebrating the 100 years from 1914 which was determined by improperly.
going beyond anything written in the bible about nebuchadnezzars tree dream.. the bible specifically refers to the immense tree as representing nebuchadnezzar.. daniel explained it and that should be the end of the matter.. .

I remember some very boring watchtower studies about types and antitypes and jubilees and all that craziness. All those wasted studies I could have been playing as a kid and they just got rid of it anyway. As far as 1914 which has been discussed here repeatedly. 1914 isn't going anywhere at least till after 2034. Even then they can wait a decade or two since JWs don't even know what type/antitype is to begin with.

A few years ago a circuit overseer sent an email to the coordinators in his circuit asking all of them to email him the names of any Jehovah's Witnesses in good standing that were lawyers. The email explicitely said do not tell them that we are collecting their names. I have no idea what the reason for this was for or if it was from the branch or just this one circuit overseer.

They just passed a resolution not too long ago for funds in cases of emergencies and they used accidents or damage to Kingdom Halls as examples. The letter specifically stated that the funds had no restriction on how they were to be used. I would imagine if the wtbs ever has to start paying for these settlements, that's where it will come from.

This is being called a zone visit. No one knows exactly what to expect other than talks just like the annual meeting. I have heard people say it will be other speakers than just the governing body. Either way its going to be boring, uneventful, a waste of my time, and likely to get every JW around me invigorated for being a part of this awesome organization.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only people who don't practice war and who preach worldwide!
by EndofMysteries inthis is what somebody has been telling me, trying to convince me aside from anything one can say or cause reason for doubt, as the evidence that they are the true religion and true people of god.
they are convinced because while 'all other' christian and other religions support war, troops, etc, jw's don't and they are the only one's who carry god's name and preach.
nothing else matters.

I would acknowledge that war is not pleasant. But war is all over the bible and used by Jehovah in the Old Testament extensively. I would ask this individual what would happen if the entire earth took the stance on war as JWs have and then adolph hitler came along? Where would we all be without war after he got through with his agenda?
