in the june 2004 kingdom ministry, the self-appointed "faithful slave" published this spiritual exhortation as a q&a item - "the congregation book study—why we need it.
three years later, in 2007 - in the august kingdom ministry - the same "slave" issued this reminder - "how the congregation book study arrangement helps us.
but surprise, surprise - within a few short months the "slave" decided that jehovah had had a change of heart, and now decided that the book study in homes - with all of its alleged benefits - was superfluous: .
The faithful were clearly not informed, even in something as life changing to jws such as this, I would've expected maybe a Sevice Meeting put aside to outline and explain the rationale, What am I saying, Watch Tower has never been forthcoming (especially in writing) concerning their reasons about doing anything, so we just relied as always on the word of visiting Bethel reps and rogue COs

how very like the jw.0rg!
my jaw dropped reading this on facebook, a quote by charles manson, about getting people to do what you want.. .
Does anyone have the source for this? Thanks,

if a jw gets drunk on an occasion, he could get a pass if it was in private, if however in public there's a much greater chance of disfellowshipping as the sin has now "maligned the reputation of the congregation".
i got this through michael sherlock's fb page, he likes to expose religious nuts,.

I wonder how the above situation is being handled vis a vis the reputation of the worldwide jw community?
do i have to believe in jesus to be saved?.
i was raised as a jehovah's witness.
i was born in.
I see there being "evidence based reasoning" and "faith based reasoning"
Examining evidence and it's various interpretations requires work,
Then there's Jesus saying "happy you are believing when you did NOT see"
Welcome to Faith Based Reasoning,
i finally stopped attending the meetings about 4 months go.
i won't be going back - ever.. but i've decided the best reply to the watchtower is to be happy and i do try to be happy every day even thought i wasted my entire life on this religion.
i cherish every day, practice mindfulness and do my best to be content with the life i have.. it is only now that i see that most jws i know are deeply unhappy people.
For the first time in many years you're enjoying a measure of peace, good for you, you've earned it!

I'll bet you didn't know that they were brothers...
what would happen when the man on the picture below, would ring the bell at 1. kings drive in texudo.
" the guard asked with a routine smile on his face.
"maybe i can help you, i presume?
May we see a sign?
most jws i know claim they are happy being in the great crowd.
they'd rather live on a paradise earth and pet lions than go to heaven.. heaven is a place they can't relate to, a place where they don't expect their friends and loved ones to be.. so why are more and more jws claiming to be of the anointed?.
aren't they looked down upon as if they are crazy, proud, ignorant, or engaging in apostate thinking?.
Seriously, because they're BORED!! Woman can join men, both can feel SPECIAL and NOBODY can stop them!!
do i have to believe in jesus to be saved?.
