  The end of this system is so very near.....NOT

  world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses - warwick, new york.

  “yes, the end of this system is so very near!

  is that no reason to increase our activity?… reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service.

  so looking at that link to google map--does the watchtower own all that--or are the tennis courts a separate plot over the road ?

  i`m just curious as to what /who i dedicated/baptized my life to in 1960 compared to who or what j.w.`s are being baptized/dedicating their life into this present day ?.

  and what scenarios this could lead into ?

  would my baptism still be valid ?

  my ( late ) father donated £5000 towards their hall fund. the hall was later sold and the cong merged with another.

  he also donated £100 a month out of his pension. when i took over all his financial affairs that was the first thing i stopped.

  no need to--its just a silly bit of nonsense that has no relevance in the real world.

  although i'm sure i would qualify---as if i could give a damn.

  the old Wembley stadium--London UK--about 69 / 70. non stop rain. jam packed foot walks sitting in the open air in the rain. singing kingdom songs. sheer misery.

  i vowed never to attend a bid assembly ever again.

  i kept my promise.

  People Asking Me To Help Them Leave

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i dont know if it's due to the last convention, the recent broadcasts, the internet or just plain fatigue - but since the convention i've had a few people contact me via facebook messenger asking how i am then cutting to the chase asking me what it's like "on the outside" or "how did you adjust after leaving?

  " and asking me how they can leave the wt but keep their families.. my reply is always the same, i show real genuine interest and concern and listen to their situation.

  then i suggest a fade, how to fade, to ignore or reject elders visits, to not talk about their doubts to active jws under any circumstances and finally point them to this site.

  How many faithful old JW`s are now living in Christendoms retirement homes not being cared for by the religion they gave their life for.

  by smiddy3 in

  it must be pointed out in favour of christendoms religions that they do not discriminate against people regarding their religious beliefs.

  many old age jehovah`s witnesses are residents of christendoms age care homes.. isn`t this a conunudrum ?

  they, jw`s condemn christendom as part of the world empire of false religion and they cast off their old faithful members to their enemy christendom , to look after them without lifting a finger themselves.. in the meantime they are raking in millions of dollars $$$$ in selling off real estate properties in new york and elsewhere around the world.

  my old dad --jw the last 50+ years...spent his last 3 years in a care home. the staff were truly lovely to him--real carers. i visited every other day-----or every day towards the end. elders visited him for the first year or so--but that tailed off when they knew i was on the scene. his own jw grand daughter--my daughter--age 46-- never visited him once. she lived less than a mile away.

  funiest nonsense was a woman jw who came into the home--a mobile hairdresser. she trimmed dads hair--and i paid her....but she never spoke to me. ha ha. took my money though.....

  n the Uk there are a lot of JW's who thought they'd be in paradise by now and who are living in Jah-Jireh homes set up by brothers who received not a jot of help from the WTCorp.

  Mind you, they generally pay for this care at normal industry rates but at least they can sit in their urine stained chairs chanting "new" kingdom songs while watching Herd flash his Rolex on JWTV.

  
  

  And probably getting the fees paid by the local authority...tax payers money...even though many paid little or no tax in their lives..whilst pioneering.

  When did the Jehovah's Witnesses officially become a "religion"?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most people know that jehovah's witnesses began as a publishing company promoting a restorationist type christianity.

  people who were followers were called bible students.

  but when, exactly, did it change from a "movement" to a "religion"?
