Brooklyn news on sending the elderly packing

by I am a Bible Student in

johnny the bethelite on this program talks about the older bethelites being targeted by watchtower.they are getting rid of those at bethel who are 65-87 years old, some being anointed even the widows of former governing body members who gave decades of loyal service time to the watchtower organization.. the reasons the very elderly are being expelled are money in that for their age range they cost so much to cloth, fed, and medicate, having problems from high blood pressure to dementia.

they include persons such as sister henschel whose husband had been a watchtower president and marian sydlik whose parents are long dead.. https://soundcloud.com/rick-fearon/jan-16-2016-johnny-the-bethelite-watchtower-insider-host-his-radio-program-from-brooklyn-ny .

If you listen to the whole interview Barbara Anderson speaks to 'Johnny' for a long time.

Not sure whether she believes in it or not - it would be interesting to find out...

Make your predictions!

by Coded Logic in

the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

WHATSGOINGON

Hey Kairos......

kairos I suspect something VERY big will take place among the GB.
Geoffrey Jackson gets DF'd for apostasy. ( his AUS RC testimony )
I have more details, that I don't feel like sharing at the moment. Just premonitions.

Come on don't tease us and leave us dangling in anticipation - this sound's interesting !!

Do You Think 10% Tithing is Coming?

by xjwsrock in

firstly, there are cash flow problems in wt town.

i don't think it's necessary to list all the cutbacks and layoffs, but there have been many.. their thirst for money seems higher too in my opinion.

more entitled may be a better way of putting it.

WHATSGOINGON

Okay.

Been on the borg site and found that the new translation has loads of references to tithe both in the scriptures and

in the footnotes.

The previous translation - never mentioned the word tithe (correct me if I am wrong, I may be)

They are subtly introducing it into the witness vocabulary - maybe I am being cynical here but it looks to me.....

that they are going to say how the Israelites gave their tenth to Jehovah to support his worship and we will have to do the same.

I think it will be subtly brought up in a magazine as a wonderful way we can bless Jehovah and honour him and we shall receive blessings just like his servants of old - maybe a quote from Mal 3:10.

We shall see.......

Just read this on JW Talk......

by WHATSGOINGON in

just saw this on the public area of jwtalk (i am not a member).

here is the link.. http://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/23523-privvy-news/.

such a shame - i do feel for these ones - i just don't know what to say.... wgo.

WHATSGOINGON

Okay just saw some more crazy comments.

seriously, these leaks have got to stop, leaks like these happening during the GT could cost us our lives. I for one would really hate to be killed during the GT,... too close to the finish line. :-)

Don't worry, Dawnmarie. If there are still any moles in the organization during the Great Tribulation, they will be killed off first! They won't have a chance to reveal any "leaks" by then. Hopefully, those moles will realize we're "close to the finish line" before that time and get in spiritual shape to survive it.

I hope also that Leakers (of priveliged material) will be 'LET GO' during the Great Tribulation also. The Jehovah and the angels know all of us by name. I'm sure no body will 'sneak' through.

Not sure which leaks they mean, he he.

Statement about Lying in January 2015 Public Watchtower

by BluesBrother in

the online mag opens with this bold statement :.

"most people lie at least once during a ten minute conversation.

why bother trying to be different?".

WHATSGOINGON

Okay just checked the mag online and it says:

Some years ago, a study
by Robert S. Feldman, a psychologist at the University
of Massachusetts Amherst, determined
that 60 percent of adults lie at least once during a
ten-minute conversation. “It was a very surprising
result,” says Feldman. “We didn’t expect lying to
be such a common part of daily life.”
Does this mean they have adjusted the magazine since Blues brother posted ?

WHATSGOINGON

Hey John thats really interesting news.

Please keep us posted - I wish that my mum and dad and some of the older ones that have passed away

Thanks.

Double Standards in the JW world

by nevaagain in

jw
friends

no other organization has so many written and unwritten rules like the jws.

so it comes to no suprise that there are a lot of double standards.. even though the end is "near", wt is building new and bigger offices.

while the small jw should live in a closet and should make plans to have a bigger house in the new world.

WHATSGOINGON

Well after my comments the other day about the gospel type music videos I just saw another one on the site.

Its called 'finding treasures' he he.

Here is the link (copy and paste it though, just in case)

We will never do T.V evangalizing like Christendom - now they do - every month broadcasts.

Stupid music videos which are basically gospel songs specially written for the videos, as the songs are not from the song book - they are even complete with drum beats and guitars .....totally different from what I grew up with.

I find them very strange and the Caleb and Sophia craze too - I cant believe I am seeing all this.

I remember a few years ago in the late 90's a District overseer saying from the platform about T.V watching and the dangers of it and he asked the audience a rhetorical question which was "do you still have a T.V ?"

The way he said it, was as if it was unthinkable we would still have a T.V as after all he had got rid of his one and he proudly declared he had thrown it out.

Basically his message to us was that the org were all for us getting rid of our televisions - as it was the way for Satans world to enter our homes.

I wonder what he is up to now,lol. I bet he had to go and a buy a new T.V. to keep up,lol.

J.W .org logo's everywhere - which to me is idol worship.

Lastly I don't know who is behind all this rebranding - you would think that the 'Slave' would be against all of these changes. The changes are just so drastic and alien to anyone raised in the org.

But they are all for it......they love it - and we just watch and cannot believe what we are seeing.
