GB says, "Our way of worship will soon be altered."
by Separation of Powers inmy mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.

Our CO made a similar comment 6 months ago. He said he was told "you haven't seen anything yet" regarding all of the changes going on in the Borg. -

Inside the KH. Your a prick. I don't like u. Im still a dub and the stuff u state as a witness fact is utter BS. Can we give back inside the KH and get Gustav Cistern back? At least he was a reasonable apologist.
Also not all dubs are eating it up My mom sent me the vid I asked what she thought and she said she felt kinda weird bout it Like letting the world in a little bit

What will JW.org / Watchtower be like in 15 years?
by jw07 inover the past few days i've been reading and watching bill and melinda gates speak about their plans for a better world by 2030. they bet that due to technology and the compassion of people the world should improve more in the next 15 years than it has in all of history.
specifically lower child mortality rate, eradication of polio and guinea worm among other diseases, improvement of standards of living, greater access to education etc.. i'm a realist, so i'm not looking for miracles, but i believe most of these things are possible given the level of success they have reaped in other endeavors, and naturally emerging tech being used to make some of these projections possible.. you can see that the world is actually improving in many areas if you seek out the good news stories and statistics and look beyond the watchtower friendly fear porn about terrorism, and potential dangers from culturally diverse nations around the globe.
for instance 2014 had the lowest fatal airline accident rate in history despite the hyping of the ill fated malaysian airlines crashes.

In th US There is a massive amount of dubs in there 60s. In 15 years they will be dying off really quickly. They make up the majority of today's elders. The borg is going to have a really hard time replacing them.
1914 will no longer be mentioned. Somehow they will change doctrine to get rid of it.
The borg will lose its tax exempt status in several European countries due to their bigotry against the LBGT community. They won't change their stand and will cry persecution.

Special pioneer stipend
by wannaexit inhow much do they get for their 120 hours of door banging?
-
Ignoranceisbliss
It is pretty close to $1000 / month. This can be adjusted lower if the local congregation is giving you a free place to live though. It is also adjusted higher if you Are assigned to a high cost area. -

Ignoranceisbliss
Oh yeah. I can't believe they didn't disfellowship me. Drinking, girls, strip club, some more drinking, and some more girls. They did publically reprove me once. Privately several more times.

Sorry guys. I don't buy it. In order for this to be true the whole GB would have to be truly evil and working a sinister plan (like Dr. evil). I have seen no evidence of this. On the contrary they all act like totally deluded fully indoctrinated and brainwashed fools who lack the education required to run the worldwide printing and real estate company that they have been endowed with.

End times madness?
by erbie inmy wife's parents who are pretty obsessed with the watchtower religion are going on holiday more than they are at home these days and spending money like it is something evil to be got rid of.
i have not been to a meeting in a long time but after reading the thread on hysteria by campaign of hate and the whole tv broadcasting thing i got to wondering if they really are ramping up the 'sense of urgency'.
many on here are better informed than me so i'd be interested to hear whether this is a common thing..
