  Elderly sister disgusted with obscene Bethel 'Happy Song'

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is reported that one elderly sister in british columbia expressed complete disgust at what she considered an obscene act in the bethel 'happy song'.

  now everything is, of course, subject to perspective.

  i would imagine her perspective is just as valuable as anyone elses.

  The elderly in the Org, especially the ones that got old inside the org, are pissed and quite depressed because this man-made entity sold them a bill of goods their entire lives and nothing has happened yet!

  Oh yes, something indeed has happened lately: Said Org robbed them of their KH funds and still have the odds its to ask for more donations.

  I am not that old and I am LIVID about the whole thing! Part of the growing bunch that is now realizing the tremendous waste of time this has all been.

  How to prove the congregation cash grab?

  by Lemonp in

  i was discussing with a relative the cash grab made by the org.

  when i mentioned it that the same repayments are still required indefinitly, i got a parroted response from the may broadcast; that is you only have to pay what you can afford.

  obvoiusly the boe letter makes it very exact what amount should be paid.. relative seems super in, elder.

  In my small Spanish cong, all graduates (about 6) are either attending a community college or a nearby university in the city. Some (3 or so) not very studious are attending a trade school in town.

  I am so happy about that! The WTBTS is losing in this regard. Days of not educating one's kids are fading away. The world is too rough to just be a stupid ass waiting for a new world order that will not come in our lifetime.

  Potential for new meeting?

  by campaign of hate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've mentioned it in a few threads, but i'd like to make it a thread of it's own.. i'm going to make the prediction the gb will schedule a new meeting once a month, starting in jan 2016, for watching the jw broadcasting program.

  at the moment it's up to each cong to organize a viewing, but soon the gb will take over the arrangements.. i make this assumption based on the fact that they know that a substantial quantity of pubs are not tuning in every month.. by scheduling a meeting once a month, it's easier for the gb/elders/organisation to gauge how many people are watching, and to make sure everyone is fully indoctrinated with what the gb are saying.

  it will also keep the rank and file busy busy busy.. if i was a cult leader, that's what i would do.

  There is a new meeting: Every first Saturday afternoon in my Spanish cong they meet to watch the JW broadcast.

  Now, there is a meeting I will never attend!

  Is it Wrong to Doubt or Even Disagree With the GB? The Watchtower Reasoning....

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this would be a good one for jw apologist who scream and panic with anyone who feels the moral direction of the wt publishing company has gone astray.

  a comment at the bible highlights last night blew my mind, here is the article that was referenced.

  btw this account always bothered me, remember when it was in a drama?

  If one happens to doubt or disagree, better keep it to yourself or you will be disfellowshipped for apostasy so fast it will make your head spin.

  Did you know WTBTS applied for Holocaust compensation?

  by umbertoecho in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  did you know that the wtbts applied for these compensation funds?

  i had no idea and if this has already been addressed then so be it.

  i find it interesting due to the fact that so much is made of the jws being in camps during ww2 and nothing else is expressed about the other millions who died in these camps.

  July 19th Watchtower Summary. Insanity

  by Lemonp in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just got back from the wt study and it overall was just so blindingly biased and leading.. i had to read it from the platform too, i hope they couldn't see the confounded look on my face as i read this craziness out!.

  first we consider the faith of abel, enoch, noah, abraham, isaac and jacob, and moses.. all of these people are held up as sterling examples of blind faith, with the article pointedly saying that their imaginations sustained their faith in gods promises for them.

  no mention anywhere at all that all of these characters saw and talked to angels, spoke to god himself, saw and performed miracles, or any of the other feats experienced by these characters.

  It is a nice and mild social exchange for me, a click of sorts. Take the abundant good and leave the nonsense ever changing doctrine and prophecies.

  Did you all notice how the meaning of 'Gog and Magog' changed? New light with each new administration. Bull shit!!!

  Employment Rules in the Watchtower Organization.

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a jehovah witness teacher is allowed to teach nonreligious subjects in a school owned by a religious organization but,.

  is not allowed to teach the same subject in a school funded or directed by the military..

  since the watchtower views all religious organizations as part of babylon the great who had gods disfavor and would be destroyed at armageddon, no elder including some members of the gb could explain this policy of employment.isocf pg 401.

  Just two weeks in our new home and the knock at the door happens!!

  by truthseekeriam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just relaxing with my morning coffee enjoying looking at the pictures fipper shared of the camping trip when the dreaded knock came.

  of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them.

  " i almost just walked away from the door when i saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.. i opened the door and smiled and said jehovah's witnesses?

  You will be annotated in the territory record as 'careful/apostate', and hopefully you will not be bothered anymore.

  Congratulations!
