  What I think about the "We just love this idea" of David Splane

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw.org video about the annual meeting contains david splane saying "we just love this idea", when talking about the adjusted fds doctrine.

  "we just love this idea"????

  when it becomes one of the fundament teachings of the organisational part of a religion, the rank-and-file witnesses are expected to be convinced about these kind of doctrines.

  WT Flip-Flops on Jesus’ Inspection… Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?

  by Alfred in

  2. bible

  this is utterly ridiculous.... .

  the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.

  it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

  after six months, i couldn't see the value in it.

  if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.

  i really didn't know what to do for a few months.

  The Watchtower Society Hedge Fund

  by TJ Curioso in

  1. watchtower

  the watchtower society hedge fundseveral weeks ago it came to my attention via the e-jehovahs-witnesses discussion board that the watchtower society had devised a new money raising scheme.

  the scheme is to beg and borrow money from each individual congregation account, which they deem to be in excess of the congregation's actual expenses.

  i half jokingly responded to the topic then that the watchtower has become a hedge fund.

  She was a fine sister

  by silentlambs in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  she was a fine sister with a history that went back six generations with jehovahs witnesses.

  her family boasted well over 1000 jw family members, many of which had high station within the organization.

  this proud heritage was marred by another fact in the familys history this sister had not disclosed.
