  JWs and Pacifism

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  pacifismˈpasɪfɪz(ə)mnoun: pacifismthe belief that war and violence are unjustifiable and that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means.. .

  one thing that always irked me as a witness was their pacifism.

  i totally agree that non violence is a wonderful way to live, but at the same time whenever i'd read or watch something about nazi germany i always thought being a pacifist in that environment wouldn't work.

  This Weekend's Watchtower Study "What You Vow, Pay" from April issue

  by BluesBrother in

  2. bible

  just some random thoughts here... theme scripture is matt.5: 33 .

  we already had a thread explaining that jesus added a "but" after those words.

  however, few would argue against the principle of keeping one's word.

  Trivia: I don't think the GB have revealed the total number of members of the Worldwide Order in print before??
  

  Watchtower April 2017, page 8, para 19
  

  Currently, there are some 67,000 members of the Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Some perform Bethel service, others engage in construction or in circuit work, serve as field instructors or special pioneers or missionaries or as Assembly Hall or Bible school facility servants.
  

  2017 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses - Grand Totals 2016
  

  During the 2016 service year, Jehovah’s Witnesses spent over $213 million in caring for special pioneers, missionaries, and circuit overseers in their field service assignments. Worldwide, a total of 19,818 ordained ministers staff the branch facilities. All are members of the Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
  

  Two figures to extract:
  

  Therefore there are around 47,182 Worldwide Order members who aren't in Bethel.

  US$213 million spent caring for 67,000 members = they cost US$3,179-per-member-per-year (US$265-per-month)

  Ah, i missed it! Hope someone will share the Friday recordings in the near future.

  Friday is re-uploaded

  It is in a smaller resolution now (640 x 360 rather than 1280 x 720, so the file size is approximately 75% smaller)

  this year’s “don’t give up” convention encourages theocratic welfare.

  brother pioneer is doing a lot of carting and having trouble making ends meet.
