New Field Service Format?

by jw07 in

it seems that hype is the only thing keeping jw.org alive and well these days (that and the money of suckers who continue to fall for it).. at meeting on monday, an elder announced "the faithful slave has seen it fit to change the format of our ministry in 2016, and more information will come".

i guess the desired reaction is to get jws preoccupied with what those changes could possibly be, and if it means that the end is nearer or some crap.. with that said, i've been suckered into wanting to know what these 'changes' will be.

does anyone know?

Maybe they're pulling the plug on door-to-door work in the developed world,

JW blood was shed for this right. Do you think WT will just do away with DD? Not in a trillion years. Regarding child abuse accusation against the WT, WT is somewhat concerned about the negative publicity but it is not a major concern because they are confident that the way they handle child abuse cases is proper and complies with Caesar. However, new precautions have been adapted to protect against lawsuit vulnerabilities.

I have never heard of a KH meeting on Monday since the WT WT study is Monday night and Betllies cannot make it. But if there are any changes it has nothing to do with stopping the preaching work. According to the org book, the purpose of the cong is the preaching work.

It is my opinion though that the preaching work will not continue for more than a couple of more years at the very most. I also think that 100 years of preaching just about covers it because it is senseless for people not to experience some consequences in their lifetime for rejecting it. Seems to me that everything should converge after the WT is out of Kings County and established in Warwicked if that long. Just my view. Something must happen.

The Watchtower is not invincible

by Coded Logic in

despite claims to the contrary, there's no guarantee the watchtower will be around in a few decades time.

and it seems to me there's ever mounting evidence that the opposite may well be true.

but it's not just that recruitment is down and their defectors are up.

Fisherman

I think that the WT is invincible.

Quite a few years ago the doc recommended I get one and did. A short time later wound up in the emergency room with 104 plus fever. Never again.

Even if the location is not Sodom, the researchers said the discovery is still important because it has shed light on a vast lower and upper city.

"The likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed"

by nicolaou in

presidential hopeful ben carson of course.

this isn't another gun control debate, i just thought it might be fun to have a topic where we can dump all the hysterical quotes from the candidates.. it's a deep and plentiful mine folks!

Fisherman

I don't know if them being armed would have actually made a difference

I 'm with cappy. All a government has to do is to pass a law making it a capital crime to own a gun. And even if you had a gun, you cannot fight the army or the police. They will get you.

How about making cars illegal? More people are killed by cars than with guns and alcohol too. Tobacco should be outlawed too. Police should go into everyone's house daily and search for anything illegal, forget about privacy and civil rights, It is about public safety. People have too much freedom anyway.

OF DOGS AND BITES AND BIKES AND THINGS

by Terry in

the thought suddenly struck me plain and obvious: "these dogs won't stop until i'm good and bloody.".

there were two of them; a mixed breed of boxer and pit bull; clean, white--collared, tagged and--for some inexplicable reason, ferociously intent on tearing me to shreds!.

ah, but i'm getting ahead of myself.

if you shoot and kill a dog that belongs to someone, you could be sued if you shot at it without any physical evidence of being bitten.

nope

Good ole mace. Sad it is not legal. Taser baton will shock a dog away. The cheap pepper sprays they sell on amazon cannot be trusted, propellant dies after a while and pepper is not that strong. I know that mustard spray is strong and not deadly ,but depends on the concentration; Spray it on a dog and it it will know.

Nice post.

Sad VI,

Some people are clever to understand that a cop has a gun, club, and other devices, and if they torture or kill you, they will likely get away with it, nothing can bring you back once your dead, nothing will undo the torture, so they smart thing to do is to submit and don't be a wise guy.

Unfortunately, many are not so smart, drunk, or judgment impaired with drugs. Need I say more ?

For trained K9 dog, even bear spray wont work, once he goes into attack mode.

If someone decides to get bit by a "K9," better off the dog bite than hurt dog and cop's revenge. You risk shooting a dog close to your leg, but you can aim at a dog running towards you, and you can put the gun on the dog and shoot if he is tearing you up.
