I agree with you that they are anti-Christ. I also prayer for the WTS, that is the Christian way. I also pray for specific halls and specific people.

Studying the new "Keep on the Watch!" brochure- Whose Shameless Luxury? p13
by ozziepost infrom the new brochure on page 13 comes this gem: the bible also says that babylon the great lives "in shameless luxuary".
in ancient babylon, the temple organization acquired extensive landholdings, and the priests became prominent in commercial activities.
today, in addition to places of worship, babylon the great has vast commercial holdings.

A question for you managers out there....
by Dawn ini work for a fairly large organization - we have over 35 satelite offices spread out across the state.
there are jw's in some of these satelite offices that i deal with on a regular basis.
i have never had a problem with them because i view work as work, it is a professional environment and each individual is judged based on their work performance.

Sexual Haressment might be hard to prove. But does Dawn want to have to fight it in the first place.
Had a friend that had to fight a discrimination charge. He was caucasian, his wife was Philippino, they had one child of their own, three adopted children: one Chinesse and the other two were Black. Sure he won, but it is was not fun.
Acceptance of this, could also be used by others to say she is showing favoritism to this young lady.

Ozzie,
You are right that I am not, nor have I been a JW. But two years ago I became convicted to understand JWs and be prepared to reach out when ever possible. So your comments throw me when I read them. Thank you for answering, I like to be able to back up what i say with WTS literature whenever possible. But I still maybe able to use this information.
Thanks, Triple A

Happy Guy said, Edit: Woops just noticed you're female. Okay disregard the stuff on the sexual harrassment as it pertains to the hugging stuff.
I would not disregard that possiblity in this day and age.
You need a third party that is impartical to be nearby anytime she comes around. Does not mean that they have to sit down with both of you. Never let the door close if it is just the two of you. Do you have a conference room with glass that anyone passing by can see in.
I would never go out alone with her. Only go in groups and make sure you leave before the group leaves.
Something does not sound right here. Why aren't the other JWs that work there preventing her from coming to you.

Also not mentioned in this paragraph is the enforcing of a levy (tithing???) on each Witness in the form of compulsory donations "to the World Wide Work". Yet the WTS has the gall to condemn the churches???!!! If a church has an offertory it's condemned and ridiculed by the WTS, yet the WTS itself has compulsory giving.
It is my understanding that the WTS never outwardly ask for donations. You said the enforce a levy and compulsory donations "to the World Wide Work". Are these expressed only to individuals from within the congregations or does the WTS put that in writing to the masses?
If so, can you tell me where I can find these "requests?"

NEW SAN DIEGO X-JW SUPPORT GROUP FORMING
by Corvin into bring you up to speed: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/79728/1.ashxeverybody, meet larry.

While members of the support group can discuss doctrine and other issues related to their former faith, there will be absolutely no "evangelizing" or "spiritual guidance" offered to the group. No substituting one religion or set of beliefs for another. It is agreed that spirituality is a very personal matter, between the individual and their god, and such assistance should be sought outside the group, not within.
What about individually? If a person still recognizes that there is a God and has a need for spiritual guidance, where do they go?

If your question is about the church in general. In the denomination of churches that I attend there is a structure for address questions of belief that they hold to. If you believe that the teaching is unbiblical, you take it to the elders. If they can not satisfy it than you take it to the classes Classes is a group of churches attended by the pastor and one elder from each church in a small geographical area (usually about 20 churches). If you still are not satisfied you take it to senit. Senit is a pastor from each classes and an elder. If they still can not not satisfy you, you can stay or leave. I have never heard of anyone being disfellowshiped for questioning the denominations beliefs.
If it is an individual that sins, we first go to them an address it. If they still continue we take another with us and than we take it to the body of elders.
