  the video was posted directly to a pro-jw facebook page.

  i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.

  The org condemns H.E. out of one side of their mouth, but begs for minions with degrees to help build up their real estate empire with the other side.

  The Fall Guy - You hit the nail on the head! If they really want to put their faith in Jehovah instead of a higher education? Terminate all of your Doctors currently servicing your asses at Bethel. You know the ones you just honored with a video at last years annual meeting? Hypocrites!

  The Governing Body needs to put their full trust in Jehovah...for once! Set the example, Guys!

  i come from a catholic background, but most recently had been with the churches of christ.

  i have contacted my local congregation and will be talking with someone tomorrow, hopefully setting a study up for next week.

  i want to study scripture, but also want to immerse myself in everything jw publishes.

  All I can say after watching that is..."our parents are rolling over in their graves."

  I think what shook us to our core was this one below. This is entertainment during the 2014 International convention. A band was playing and people were dancing in the parking lot of the Conyers Assembly hall in Georgia. What? We couldn't even play a "worldly song" at our wedding. I guess if it is sanctioned by the GB all is well.

  We were always taught that things were to be done with decency and by arrangement (1 Cor. 14:40).
  

  It's amazing how things have "changed." The light keeps getting brighter and brighter. HYPOCRITES!

  after being a jw made me lose trust in religion, from the lies, hypocrisy and greed of this organization made me lose faith completely.

  what does one do after this mind f$%@, what is there to look forward to?

  do i make up my own agnostic theory in head and hope for the best?

  never a jw

  What a great success story. You should be so proud! We have watched our JW relatives marriages fall apart over the years. JW's do not like to look at the character of a person, It's all about the outward appearance and how many JW tasks you do which equates to how "spiritual" you are. Your wife and kids are lucky to have you!

  Another JW gem to make you feel like sh@t. I know of disaster marriages in WT. Marrying a JW isn't a guarantee. I know of JW's married to "worldly men" and the men are awesome husbands, fathers and friends. I know of JW's married to JW's and their separated, divorced or in a miserable marriage. This is the G in FOG....GUILT! More JW BS.

  Kingdom Ministry Detailed Service Reports vs Field Service Highlights.

  by ToesUp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why did the watchtower eliminate the detailed service report (last report dec. 2008) and replace it in jan. 2009 with the field service highlights?

  (sorry about the formatting).. *** km 12/08 p. 2 august service report *** (source wt library, kingdom ministry 2008 , 2009).

  august service report.

  Thank you. Sorry...just trying to help. I would recommend going to the source that I provided just for this reason.

  WT Library. Kingdom Ministry Dec 2008 and Jan 2009.

  You will notice their formatting is not aligned. I do not have time to put in a chart. If you have the time, you would provide a great service to the forum.

  The top of the chart states: Av. Hrs. Av. Mags. Av R.v Av Bi. St. Hope this helps.
