144,000 New Light update

by goingthruthemotions in

i updated the list of partakers to 2013 (see below)...if i was to predict as to what new light might be coming down the borg poop shoot may be.

i would predict that they need to do something about the 144,000 being a literal number.. for two reasons:.

1. the number of partakers is increasing every year.

Its hard to get a perspective, unless you research what the real Churches are spending money on, you know the churches who actually do charitable works and help people ? How much $$ do Protestants as a whole, or individual denomination like Baptists, spend on their Misssions ?

How much do they spend on supporting Missionaries and Outreach Workers ? Or building villages in Africa ? How much do they spend locally helping the homeless and running Day Care Centres or Retirement Homes ? Those churches have open books with transparency and congregations vote. No, I mean, really vote, not WT style.

I get the impression there is zero transparency and accountabilty for the Watchtower Corporation ? Whose got the Books ? Who makes the decisions ? Why is nothing up for a vote ? Individual witnesses are asked to pledge money but have no say in how it is spent ? Really ? In America ? In England ? In Europe ? How is this possible ?

The Great Crowd Catch 22

by Perry in

just had a two hour conversation with my father.

he is insistent that he will be able to enter the kingdom of god as a member of the 'great crowd'.

he did agree that only the annointed are declared righteous.

Billions of money saved, ALL poor elderly jw's to get free care and housing

by EndofMysteries in

over the years the surplus from donations have been put into risky investments and each of them blessed with growth and profit beyond comprehension.

all aging and elderly jw's who had sacrificed their retirement planning and financial future for the kingdom work, who had not been expecting to live to this age, shall have full care including room and board for the rest of their lives or until 'the end'.

- if god was directing that organization, then that's something that i'd expect to see.

And the Watchtower encourages people to go on the dole and has for 50 years. The first in line for fake disability payments and food stamps and subsidized housing. They never supported the government, voted, joined the military, even as Medics, or contibuted to community projects and yet they are the first ones with their hand out.

AMATEURS using BAD METHODS: what possible expertise does the GB possess?

by Terry in

let's start with a very basic common sense question.. if you needed surgery would you go to a graduate of medical school who had been practicing for awhile,.

or would you go to an amateur who told you god would be telling him how to peform surgery?.

don't laugh.. it is a serious question!.

I think they are being "managed" by a PR firm and the whole jw.org thing is a "Branding" attempt, but these guys do not present well. They are like the Muslims, the more you get to know them, the less you like them.

"So, how many tracts did you place last month during the campaign???"

by stuckinarut2 in

as we all know, the org now wants everyone to count the number of flimsy, one page tracts on every monthly report from now on.... so, what is the general buzz around the traps about how many the average witness is reported to have placed?.

(yes, it is a seriously stupid thing designed to keep the flock busy and also designed to measure their 'spirituality').

i need to fudge my report, and i havent got the foggiest clue what sort of numbers each witness has on average 'placed'......

Paris

I have not attended meetings in 20 years but feel free to put me down for 18,000 tracts. I papered my garage in them.

The more I see videos of the GB the more absurd they appear. This has got to be the effect on more than just me. They look weird, they talk weird, their ideas are stupid and they are arrogant. No one is noticing this ?

This is the age when public exposure will destroy you. We are constantly evaluating public figures, look at how Romney destroyed himself and how severly mocked Obama is, you get on camera and its hard to survive. The public is obsessed with image. There is not a Bill Clinton among them. They make Prince Charles look handsome. And their speeches are like some North Korean dictator.

The GB is not attractive, or elequant or amusing, or interesting to listen to and they are badly dressed and nobody you would even vote in for dogcatcher. How far do you think they would get in any level of politics ? No PR campaign can help these guys, and now they have exposed themselves on camera, there is no turning back or they will be accused of hiding out.

"Jehovah Knows Those Who Belong to Him"

by lambsbottom in

september 1-7, 2014 watchtower (wt) study.

"jehovah knows those who belong to him".

i printed out the next study edition of the wt, which will be used this coming week.

Paris

Creating suspicion and paranoia is the stock and trade of the WT. This will backfire on them because each witness depending on how stupid and really ignorant they are, has their own version of the "truth" in their head and they never think anyone is as good as they are. Witnesses make up little rules on top of the rules. Hopefully this rebellious underground they speak of, is many many people.
