I'm curious about the Publisher Record Card.

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i was once told that a publisher had the right to examine their own record card.. what would happen if a publisher examined it and threw it out?.

There are some interesting historisities about this card.

It used to be called the "Publisher's Record Card", which meant that it essentially belonged to the Publisher.

Privacy and Access requests substantiated this as belonging to the Publisher.

So the Borg changed it to "Congregation's Publisher Record Card"

Craziest demon/magic/supernatural stories you heard when you were a JW

by EndofMysteries in

share yours, i'll start if off, i have a few i heard from the platform or from other jw's.

one from the platform, a witch was studying with jw's, and she had a relationship with demons/spirits.

when she was studying they turned on her and threatened her if she didn't stop.

Family experience with this is just too sad to relate at present.

However, knowing a congregation member and friend who committed suicide because of this nonsense is beyond reprehensible.

What is the deal with the "this is the last memorial" comments from my JW?

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

the guy i know was saying this the other day.. "it's been suggested this may be the last one", or words to that effect.. where & by whom?.

is this doing the rounds?.

Imagine my dismay when I realized that if/when the JW version of Armageddon actually happened, the WTS fully intended to - for all intents and purposes - rule the planet for a thousand years afterwards...

I think another group tried this in Europe - some guy with small-man syndrome and a soul-patch mustache on the upper lip.

Can you imagine DFing during the 1,000 years?

Ha, we do get to literally stone people now - right on!

Will JW.ORG actually harm the WT Society Long Term ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

my son and i were discussing this yesterday over coffee.

since the wt society in previous years virtually demonized going on the internet at all for jw's - now wt leaders are doing a complete turn around or about face probably so as to " compete " or keep up with all the anti-jw websites that are out there to give the wt society point of view.. however- it very well may backfire on them as once people start doing google searches looking for jw.org it will bring up all the other websites dealing with any jw issues and in the privacy of their own homes out of curiosity i'm sure lots of jw's are going to want to check out some of these sites to see what all the " apostate " hoopla is all about.

i wonder how many jw's will do this and will it have an effect in opening more minds to other views ?

berrygerry

What will exponentiate is the recruitment of non-tech savvy wackos, who do not have the funds to support the borg, whereas anyone with more than 2 brain cells will explore the claims made. Net result: moneyless drone increase, others - yeah, not so much.

I like the 22k spent on education and training. (For a 50 million dollar entity)

You get what you pay for.

Reflections - Updating MD card - did you stop updating?

by berrygerry in

i finally removed my md card from my wallet yesterday.. although we were encouraged to create a new card annually, i had an internal hesitation, and a lack of enthusiam for it, as well as the meaningless cards for my kids.. the card that was pulled from my wallet was dated 1994. i obviously had some unconscious, if not conscious, problems with the borg, maybe with the 1995 generations bs.. did others stop updating their cards long before exiting?.

Kairos - you're the same as me, then.

Weird, isn't it?

(You wasted another 14 years, I wasted another 20 - bloody depressing)
