The Final Part of the Days for the Watch Tower Society

“the dream is reliable, and the interpretation of it is trustworthy.” (Dan. 2:45) The Bible’s statement is clear. The major part of the prophecy has already fulfilled, and there is no doubt that the remaining part will come true within a short time.

Thank you for taking the time to find the scripture to back up all of your findings. There would be no reason for me to question or doubt this teaching.

Thank you for the new light amd spiritual food you bring at the proper time to JWN.

Where should I send my donation to support your sheep gathering work?

Survey---who is inactive, disfellowshipped/disassociated or active?

So they are rebranding the watchtower. Now it will be the Christian Congregation of Jehovah Witnesses?

Will this be the big announcement in August?

Didn't mean to highjack your thread it just was a very thought provoking comment mad on here.

I'm so glad the anointed were 'demoted'.

by a watcher in

now they can mingle inconspicuously with the 'other sheep' without being 'made an example of' (for better or worse)..

And I thought Jehovah only worked through his anointed holy spirit. So if they are no longer listening to those anointed by the spirit, then who on earth is driving the bus?

Seems like they left it wide open for Satan to run things.

What about your vow to Jehovah?

by a watcher in

did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

why were you serving jehovah at all?

twice shy

It was because I made a sincere vow to Jehovah that I had to leave the organization. The Bible said for me to beware of false witnesses and not to worship idols.

They want you to put the Elders and organization before GOD by coming to them instead of truly recognizing the sacrifice Jesus made for our sins. They wanted me to view the love Jehovah has for us only by their interpretaion and not how he wants us to grow in his love. So you see, I had to leave.

I order to be able to still love my neighbor and put Jehovah first; it was just time to go.

They could of taken me to a mental place that would of been detestable to Jehovah my GOD.

Again, In order to love Jehovah fully and for that love to be made manifest I had to leave them.

He seems to be very pleased with the decision I made with his help.

I hope this is the right place for this...

by moSIS in

please don't attack me if this is the wrong place!

i know that i definitely shouldn't be on this website, but i am to embarassed to ask anyone at my hall!

everyone would be so nice, but i just feel like i should know the answers already.

twice shy

moSIS- I'd like to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses.. but I'm just so underqualified to serve Jehovah.

Trust yourself and go with your first mind. If you feel like that now, I can almost assure you that it will only get worse if you were to get baptized.

You could get so caught up in trying to progress and move forward spiritually that you never ask yourself "what if I make a mistake or how would I feel if I was announced as no longer being a publisher or even worse; being announced as no longer being a witness?" What if I just change my mind and want to walk away or just try something different?

Before you make a decision that will affect the rest of your life...Please put the books and magazines down and just pray and read the bible for yourself.

Welcome and I sure hope you walk away from this site knowing you are more than qualified to serve Jehovah right now and that you don't have to get baptized to do it.

May Jehovah led you to the "truth about the truth."

Be well.

The resolution was actually passed!

by stillin in

who would have thought that enough people would raise their hands when the resolution was put before the congregation tonight?

based on the pledges that the publishers put on those little pieces of paper, the congregation is promising the wts that they will send $1,000/month to support the society's building funds.. there is a traditional monthly shortfall of about $100 with the basic monthly bills usually around $1,000.

i didn't raise my hand.

They all pass. I, too, have never seen a resolution opposed.

GUILT TRIPS AND EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL!!!

by DATA-DOG in

all hell has broken loose at my house!

the wife is pissed [ i did not turn in the "voluntary tithe" slip .

if she doesn't go, then she cannot do x event tomorrow.

Sad your daughter had to be hurt in order for your wife to look/seem submissive to you.

She was submissive, but with great cost to your daughter.

Perhaps there is a loving way you can call her on her brazen conduct when she gets home from the meeting and has had time to think it thru.

They are taught to manipulate the children to get to the other parent. Is she trying to use the "your dad's spiritually weak card" to gain ground?

Your wife was hurt about the tithe so she wanted to use the thing closest to you so you could feel hurt too. (sound/look familiar?)

You got this. Handled with care it will turn out good.

You should never attend a meeting sick.

Jehovah wants your best which means you should be genuinely happy and healthy and if you are ill you can't give your full attention, mind, body or strength to serve him. Please remind your daughter that she is showing great love for others by allowing herself time to get well. (Gently tossing the manipulation back in their own words.)

Her mom is very indoctrinated and thinks that the way she's taught at the hall is the best way. You know nothing could be further from the truth.

I wouldn't advise circumventing another parent's authority, but you can talk to your wife and help her find a way to give the baby an opportunity to attend without the Mom having to go back on her word and lose ground.

Even worse have you to allow the daughter to feel like she has power over both of you by overriding what your wife said. It will just cause hard feelings between you both and could quite possibly damage the relationship with your daughter in the future.

Your daughter is very intelligent.

With some thought and well placed words you can turn this around from a win-lose and make this a win-win scenario.

Hoping it turns out well.

How many have stopped attending at YOUR Kingdumb Hell?

by hamsterbait in

on a recent thread about the fleecing of the sheeples, one poster said their congo was down to 85 publishers from 102.. the last hall i attended had 80-odd publishers 20 years ago, now only 30.. how much of a decline at your kh?.

twice shy

From everything I've learned here; I wouldn't be surprised if they have been lying about numbers, figures, and whatever else they choose.

Remember they said it themselves "All is fair in theocratic warfare!"

Need to know basis and only those that need to know;know. And only a few need to know that they should know, therefore only a few chosen ones know anything at all.
