  August Study WT "Prepare Now to be a Good Little Drone in the New Order"

  by JW_Rogue in

  i thought paradise was supposed to be a delight?

  not according to the august study wt, on page 20 paragraphs 4-12 it outlines how much paradise will be exactly like being in the org today.

  still following rules, waiting on jehovah and obeying those taking the lead.

  My prediction is that once everyone realizes that the Paradise is not here and is not coming anytime soon, there will be NEW LIGHT. Paradise will not be literal but figurative. "Brothers and Sisters, we have been enjoying Paradise for years. Not a literal but a figurative one. Now STFU and get your ATM cards, cash, checks or you can simply donate all your belongings to WTBS."

  The elderly sisters are at it again.

  awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

  and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

  i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

  I heard someone point out that GB member Jackson didn't even have to flip through the documents on his own during the RC. He had his little servants do it for him. They also filled his water glass for him. These are Jehovahs little rock stars! The CO's are no different.

  Do you think they are starting to add up the #'s for the previous service year? Are the #'s coming in low? They don't like what they see so they are double checking.

  When I was attendant at the assemblies, we would count and if they didn't like the #'s they would have the attendants re count. Is this similar?

  Oh...they are worried! Good to hear! Why would you make this effort to list these "dissenters" if people were not leaving in droves?

  So, so good to hear!

  "What was the cause of their current situation?" Look in the mirror WT!

  Has anyone asked older Jdubs how they feel about the GB annointed getting younger?

  by sherrie11 in

  i was married to a 30 year old jw back in the 90's and he claimed to be of the annointed.

  he partook at the memorials and all the elders and older jdubs didnt believe him.

  they actually gave him a really hard time.

  I was always taught never to question a persons claim of being of the anointed. Why are the Elders and CO's giving these ones a hard time?

  We all know the consequences if we questioned the GB!

  We know of several still in JW's that have outright admitted that they ARE NOT donating. This is just locally, on a small scale. Some of these ones are struggling from day to day to make ends meet. Others are doing great financially. If you have to stay in this cult to keep your family and friends, what better way to "stick it to em", then to quit donating. To me, it's a silent way of saying "screw you WT." How is WT ever going to know how others feel deep down inside or how much they are contributing. They only way they can keep track of donations is to start tithing. That will probably be their next move. Just my two cents.

  WE NEED MORE MONEY! (Letter sent to Mexico re: JW Broadcasting of May 2015).

  by avaddohn94 in

  i don't know if they're making similar arrangements in other parts of the world but below you will find the letter (and the translation attempt) they're sending to all the congregations in mexico and central america asking them to modify their september 21 and september 28 service meeting programs.. after watching jackson's gold apple watch and lett's pinky ring one can only assume they are a bunch of brazen, shameless and greedy bastards!.

  the letter has already been uploaded at the spanish forum and you can find it if you click here or see the attached picture.. the translation "attempt" is as follows:.

  august 1, 2015. to all congregations.

  Maybe if the GB is tight on money they could sell off some of their expensive jewelry. We both have jobs and don't have expensive jewelry like this. It also looks as if the GB is eating well. Things that make ya go Hmmm.

  When we went through a tough financial time, we were told to trust in Jehovah. Maybe they don't trust Jehovah as much as they should.

  Doc (love you Doc) always says the best revenge is living a happy and successful life. I wanna add to that the best revenge is NOT DONATING!
