  WT “Study” for 11th Sept 2016 – “Why Must We ‘Keep on the Watch’”?

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  2. bible

  i was really puzzled when i opened this edition of the wt magazine at the above “study”.

  what on earth has this picture at the top of page 13 got to do with christian watchfulness?

  i wasn’t making a connection at all.

  Oh I used to just love the "please be seated and quiet" signs the little snot nosed brothers used to carry around in the hallways. This was always pleasant to look at when you were walking your wiggly/fussy 2 year old around, praying that he/she falls asleep so you can have a moment of peace. I always had the wonderful vision of shoving those signs where the sun don't shine. Oh the memories!

  Some of these photos I have never seen before. The one Jaydee posted is disturbing. I have never seen that one.

  I always wondered why I never wanted to read My Book of Bible Stories to my children. Now I know.

  See the new Dutch assembly hall

  ...it looks like a generic, easy to sell barn hall.. https://youtu.be/eqwrfhbbqwy.

  nothing like the old hall it's built next to.. the small room in the video is the indoctrination education center.. the building is completed one year ahead of schedule.

  my guess: it's either much simpler than they originally planned, and/or they had more volunteers because nothing else is being built.. video is dutch, but nothing interesting is said anyway..

  Instant "friends." It's not until you decide to quit associating yourself as a JW, that you realize they truly are not your "friends." Unfortunately, some family members dump you as well. It is sad.

  Sorry for your loss. Many of the Pioneers in our area were going to the funeral homes webpage. They would add comments to the obituary regarding the JW hope. Easy way to count time.

  You would need new members to build new halls. I think there are tons more people leaving than there are joining. All you have to do is Google Jehovahs Witnesses and a ton of negative info comes up. The internet is Killing them and will continue affecting their numbers.

  Some that are pissed are staying in due to the social networking, family and some have to stay if they work for another JW. The ones that are pissed are voting with their wallets. We have spoken to a few of these ones.

  CNN doc 'Holy Hell'

  by Worldling9 in

  2. entertainment

  i just saw the documentary 'holy hell' on cnn, about a cult called buddhafield.

  it was a small group but has existed since the 80s and still has a few followers.

  classic cult stuff, much of which i found eerily familiar.

  We did watch it , there was some similarities. Very good documentary. It was sad to see, at the end of the video, how this man had abused his power and deeply affected these peoples lives.

  Today's Text - You MUST Love Jehovah!

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thursday, september 1. you must love jehovah your god.—matt.

  22:37.. if you have a loving relationship with jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only.’ (jas.

  1:22-25) a “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in christian meetings.

  You must be a "spiritual person" which equates to tasks. Tasks that WT commands you to do. Where is the scripture that you have to put 10 hours a month in Field Serve us? Man made rules. Legalism at it's best!
