July 2018 WT points

by The Fall Guy in

page 16, par.

18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?

if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

When I was a kid I used to imagine that the gb went into a quiet room where God spoke to them and told them what to put in the magazines etc, I was very disappointed and rather shaken when I learnt that they vote on it.

I can't see them dropping the reporting of witnessing hours since that's how they identify weak and faded ones. But I can see the 14400 being changed, I note that a number of people here have reported that in the memorial talk there was a mention about the partakers increasing.... maybe that was a stuple hint?

GDPR: Get your data from the UK Branch now, before 25-May-2018

by Fay Dehr in

get your data from the uk branch now, before gdpr kicks in on 25-may-2018.

use this free template letter, which has been tried and tested.

under uk law they can (and will) delay their reply if you miss out any of the important points in the template letter - for example they are allowed to ask for "costs" from you (£10 is an established fee in the data industry), or if you fail to prove your identity by means of passport or driver's license.

Yes that would be great for those who are pomo but for us pimo peeps we are basically making our apostate views obvious to the Borg by doing this. No pimi jw would ever do this, they would be to concerned with towing the line.

I'd like to know if anyone has actually succeeded in this or wether it's just been shunted to the local elders and then they come a knocking to counsel you??

What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

by minimus in

i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

That sizcophrina is actually demon possessions, that's why shizco's always claim to hear God and the devil etc

Sign JW Data Protection Form Or Else!

by AverageJoe1 in

in spain (and the rest of europe), the "improved" data protection laws come into force on 25th may 2018. this is a good thing and sadly america is still lagging behind; not surprising with their current president!.

watchtower legal department are hot on the case and have instructed elders to hand out the new "release" forms out to all the publishers in their groups, whilst making it clear to them that they won't have any privileges if they refuse to do so!.

note these points in the instructions:.

I'd like to see a copy of this form in advance, especially the terms and conditions. .. could anyone here supply?

I wondered how the kids and new ones in the audience were taking this? I found it quite disturbing, so I shudder to think what effect it had on the kids!?

Massive hints against alcohol

by purrpurr in

in the most recent assembly there were several heavy hints about not drinking alcohol at all.

saying that it doesn't give a good witness or would stumble others.. is this a new "unwritten directive?.

purrpurr

There was many a comment in the latest assembly about not drinking at all "many brothers have decided not to part take of alcohol at all to avoid temptation and so as to not stumble others" we know this is WT speak for "don't drink"

There was also an example of a jw couple who went to a restaurant, they discussed beforehand that they would drink alcohol (who does that?) But when they got there they looked around and no one else was drinking (seriously? ?!) So they decided not to drink after all so as to avoid stumbling the other diners... later they started a study with the chef and he said he had watched them that night and been so impressed at their not drinking that he decided to study... Guess what he got baptized blah blah blah.

There's some serious holes in this obviously made up story, but the message is clear... don't drink oh and also when going to a restaurant only order what everyone else is having (!)
