REAL Community service now allowed?

by ab.ortega in

at watchtowers website there is an undated article under "helping the community" relating how in 2015, jw's from russia participated in the 'springtime beautification of the city'.

it is not stated but more than likely this had to do with preparations for some assembly or something.

a group of witness going out to clean the community just for goodwill - i don't see it happening.

Community service, beards, ATM's at the assembly halls and dancing in the assembly halls? What's next Christmas is ok? Wow...WT must need money bad!

More speculation on Kingdom Hall closers and money grabbing?

by Crazyguy in

there continues to be more and more rumors of more halls being sold off some even taking the first offer.

the borg trying to get thier bond money back from the court in san diego asap and there's been elders meetings about this consolidation.

my questions is why after selling off all this real estate in new york for over a billion dollars are they still acting like thier broke?

"At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

Kingdom Hall consolidations have already begun and are going to impact each and every congregation. It is and will happen soon. This is why this was printed a few short years ago. WT has been setting this up for YEARS. OBEDIENCE IS THE KEY! I wonder how many of these mindless drones would clean out their bank account and turn over their assets to WT?

All of this does not seem practical because it is not. It is all about the money and you must obey like a mindless robot. FOLLOW THE MONEY!

If you are a lurker on this site and you don't think you are in a cult, read over the 11 pages of rules.

So the Kingdom Hall is dedicated to Jah but we can sell it to a church, with NO problem. Hmm! This was done in our congregation. So it is frowned upon for me to attend a wedding or funeral at a church but WT can sell a dedicated to Jah KH to a church? You just can't make this stuff up!

LURKERS...WAKE UP...YOU ARE IN A CULT! VOTE WITH YOUR FEET AND WALLET!

Beth Sarim

by HereIgo in

how many of you know about this san diego mansion?

i just found out about it recently.

apparently it was built for old testament faithful men to live in upon resurrection in 1925 such as abraham, moses etc.

ToesUp

Rutherford was a drunk/crazy bully. If someone today did this (buy a home so faith men of old could come back and live there), they would send them to the nearest mental institution.

What a bunch of nuts!

Summer Regional Convention

by miss.ives01 in

has anyone attended the sunday program of the summer regional convention, remain loyal to jehovah?.

i have been very concerned about the tone of discussion surrounding sundays program.

i went to friday and sat., not sunday.

ToesUp

Yes, I have seen the Sunday program. WT uses fear to manipulate its members. Go to JWfacts and research the ways WT has used in the past to instill fear in its members.

My spouse and I are born in and have very zealous JW families. We exited this religion 3 plus years ago. What a relief not living like this anymore. I can not describe to you the improvement in our lives since leaving.

Your pioneer daughter told you that you were bad association? Wow...that should tell you volumes about the group you are dealing with. This organization is abusive, judgemental and full of arrogance. The best advise we can give you is....RUN LIKE HELL! I mean that...Run. Google the word cult. I did 3 years ago and my jaw hit the floor. JW fit every bullet point.

Did they not "count the cost" before they built all of these Kingdumb Halls? If my family and I went to the Elders and told them that we are in a financial downturn, they would tell us that we did not "count the cost."

It's amazing how they spin the meetings on growth..."we can see Jehovahs hand directing us." Where is Jehovahs hand when they have to "simplify?"

tyler mccumber, no, you probably don't know of him.

he may be one of jehovah's witnesses.

his dad, mark, was a member the last i knew.. .

Remember...this is an al carte religion (cult). Pick and choose what you want to do. That is how it is done in JW land.

HELP needed from folks in UK, esp. in Scotland!

by WTS Archive in

jw
friends

tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.

please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).

ps.

ToesUp

I don't hire JW's for anything anymore. I learned the hard way.

I hope it works out for her. I wish I was there, I would rally around her.

Yoga pants parade to protest a mans comments on women's wear.

by ToesUp in

yoga pants parade.

i guess tight pants tony isn't the only man that needs to get a life!.

BARRINGTON, R.I. — Women clad in yoga pants plan to parade through a coastal Rhode Island town in protest of a man who said the attire looks tacky and ridiculous.

The women plan to hold a parade Sunday in Barrington to show they can wear whatever they want.

Their outrage is in response to a letter that town resident Alan Sorrentino wrote to the Barrington Times about his dislike of yoga pants. He said women over age 20 shouldn't wear them.

"Yoga pants belong in the yoga studio," he wrote. "What's next? Wearing a "Speedo" to the supermarket? Imagine if men did that. Yuck!"

Sorrentino wrote that it's "bizarre and disturbing" to see the outfits on "mature, adult women," noting that it's "usually paired with a blousy top and a pony tail hairdo." He said it's the worst thing to happen in women's fashion since the miniskirt. He said women should wear a "nice pair of tailored slacks" or jeans instead.

He told women who wear yoga pants that he's struggling with his own physicality as he ages and said, "I don't want to struggle with yours." He didn't return a call for comment Friday.

Women in the town and around Rhode Island have called the comments sexist and are planning to parade down his street.

In a Facebook page to promote the parade , women from as far as Texas and Australia said they'll wear yoga pants on Sunday in a show of solidarity.
