"Opinions about dress and grooming..."

by leaving_quietly in

from the july 15, 2014 watchtower, page 15. par.

"opinions about dress and grooming, health and nutrition, and other personal matters may also trigger controversy.

accordingly, if no scriptural principle is being violated, jehovah's people wisely abstain from arguing over such matters, "for a slave of the lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle [tactful, ftn.

Has anyone complained to Charity Commission & Got Results?

by tezrichmond in

seen a lot of folk say they have filed complaints to the charity commission (in uk) over one thing or another.

seen some action on youtube too of ex-jw's that made complaints too.

has anyone had any success with charity commission or are they just typical government departments that don't do anything about anything?.

"Jehovah's spirit is being blocked in the congregation"

by stuckinarut2 in

so, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.

"jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".

it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

tezrichmond

Yes this happened in a neighbouring congregation in a town nearby some years ago. A pioneer and an elder had an affair and the congregation "lost Jehovah's spirit". Elders got transferred from other congregations like "Thunderbirds" to rescue the congregation. Don't think it worked ha ha cos Brains and Lady Penelope both got disfellowshipped.

I was thinking about this anouncment at the Zone Visit today. This so called test of faith may be that the WT is going bust. Let's face it, for a while now we have seen the WT trying to scrimp and save as much as possible such as

- covering up wrongdoing so that they don't get sued

- selling off Kingdom Halls/consolidating congregations

- Monthly congregation accounts always in deficit

- saving money on ink and paper through jw.org

- new arrangments for kingdom hall maintenance etc

and the list continues.

Zone Visit: An Announcement That Will "Test Your Faith"

by breakfast of champions in

this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

.

tezrichmond

We could do with someone recording the Zone visit on Saturday - guessing that's when it is - so we can all get the low down on here next week. Yeah could be money, but could be something totally unexpected ha ha.

Has anyone a copy of the recent BOE about contributions to disaster fund?

by tezrichmond in

there was a boe recently (in last few weeks) about everyone in congregation contributing so much towards repairing kingdom hall's in emergencies, vandalism or disasters etc.

does anyone have a copy - i couldn't find it on here.. i want to do a video on this because they say they don't solicit funds but it was announced from the platform????

they might not be passing a collection plate around, but they're just doing it in a different way.. .
