Local KH with 85 pubs (down from 102)

Passed resolution last night to commit to KHF expence of $500.00 per month. In the past only 50 - 100 was donated monthly.

This was based on slips of paper turned in annomosly for the last two weeks.

KH was remodled this year and completely paid for in advance. This KH was also built with local money (no WTS loans) in 1965 so has never had a loan payment. Have been under pressure in the past to buy property and build new but BOE has always been able to avoid this.

IMHO the pubs have bit off more than they can chew but only time will tell.

The List, by "Prominent Bethelite"

by morloc in

i occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time i'm going to pop my own post on here.. some of you internet oldsters may even remember this.

my first experience on the internet regarding discussions about jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before i eventually stumbled across hourglass2.. during those days, there was a poster who went by the name "prominent bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom i remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.. it became known as "the list" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the watchtower's history.. if you're curious, it's been available for a long time on hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.. the list, compiled by prominent bethelite (1999).

that's about it for this stop through here.

Today's wt study! Notice the faults?

by stuckinarut2 in

did we all notice the way in which this weeks wt study (how to maintain a positive viewpoint) was all about keeping the flock positive even if they feel they are not doing enough in 'service'?.

the irony is that the very reason they feel stressed or worthless is because of the pressures the org puts on them to perform!!!.

QFR August 15, 2014 - Resurrection and Marriage

by wisdomfrombelow in

the article addressed luke 20:34-36 and now they finally admit jesus could have been referring to the heavenly resurrection.

they said "put simply, the answer is that we cannot say" which is surprising because they have something to say about everything.

perhaps all the old people who are waiting the new world as widow and widowers want to know if they have a chance to be reunited with their dead loved one.

Just reciently looking at another thread on this but can't remember where. One poster said Jesus was avoiding a loaded question from the Saducees in the contex of levitical/brother in-law marriage. If ressurected to everlasting life/imortality then this mosiac law is not needed since they would be like angles...(never dying) therefore the reason for Jesus answer. Makes sense, of course that dosen't automaticly make it true... just saying.

According to the good book... Jah only gives us the strength to endure what ever comes our way and the guidelines to minimize self-infliction (shooting ourselves in the foot). After that it is a free for all (time an unseen occurances) with S in charge. HE dosen't tamper with the wheather so more bibles can be printed while 20 some JWs are swept out to sea huddling in thier KH. One may not know what to belive exactly but common sense can rule out most senerios belived buy the gullable. Where the heck is spell check when you need it!

Why does the new NWT not say outright that Jesus began to rule in 1914?

by yadda yadda 2 in

why???????.

http://www.jwstudies.com/2013_nwt__pages_1766__1767.jpg.

RichardHaley

lets see... if we make 1914 the year satan was cast out of heaven, then move the installation of JC as king to 1934 and retain the OL generations we can buy another 50 years or more and solve the 607/586 debate at the same time all in the name of the light getting brighter. Implement this over time and the R&F won't even notice. The ones that balk will be kept in line with the usually bulling techniques.

Since we are on the subject of where the body is buried and various pyramids, great and small,I thought I would mention that the not one single mummy has every been found in the Great Pyramid making it a monument instead of a of a tomb.

Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

by DATA-DOG in

as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

A most interesting thread ... Thank D D for starting it.
