  A simple explanation for the financial changes

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.

  i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.

  i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.

  World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

  by Slidin Fast in

  the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

  the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

  my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

  Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

  What language was Jesus most at home with?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our former loving brothers and sisters have been instructed to think that, jesus likely spoke a form of hebrew and a form of aramaic.

  (aid to bible understanding-103-105).

  of course, there is no way to demonstrate the truth of that assertion or any other assertion about the languages that the common people of the land spoke.

  i was paired with this older "brother" when i was a teenager.

  he was very very strange.

  he was a nice guy but goofy.

  back in the 60's--my pioneer partner carried a snooker chalk cube ( blue )--and chalked an X on each doorway so he could tell he'd been there next time round.

  ( we spent many an afternoon playing snooker on rainy days --between back calls --of course---lol )

  please not snooker is a british game--vaguely similar to pool--only a lot better.

  i am a new member to this forum.

  i am a current jw who is currently struggling to leave or stay, depends on how you want to look at it.

  i have created a new blog, www.jwawoken.com to allow me to have an outlet for the cognitive dissonance in my brain.

  welcome here. i went through your phase---44 years ago.

  Be aware, though, that it is possible for people to trace the owner of a website domain name. That means that if some JW is nosy enough, they can find who you are, which could lead to you being called before a judicial committee. Sounds paranoid, but it has actually happened.

  yep----that should clinch it.

  For me the worst thing is not having a helper anymore

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of the things that gave me confidence in life was that i believed i had the almighty creator/god watching over me, directing me, guiding my every step, protecting me from harm, and answering my prayers.

  i now know that is not the case anymore.

  i finally stopped praying.

  when i was married to my first wife--a born in---she insisted i prayed out loud with her every night before we went to sleep. this went on for the first 3 years of the marriage--till i said enough is enough. i wasnt struck down dead--either by her or her invisible friend. that was 44 years ago.

  what do you really believe

  by Sabin in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  what do you really believe the percentage is for jw who are truly ignorant of what is going on behind closed doors of the w.t.

  as opposed to those who actually know something is wrong & yet go along with it for whatever reason?

  i have been asked for coffee by what i can only describe as one of the sweetest persons i have ever known & i cant even begin to conceive that she knows what is happening with the child abuse cases but then how do i know?

  " They don't know about the pedophilia "

  
  

  i dont suppose most dubs even know what the word means-----or--think it means loving children----the same as loving horses or strawberry ice cream.
