  today at the wt study one of the new songs was used.

  how has this been going in other congs - at my hall about two thirds had it on either tablets or phones with lyrics on or printed out, rest just stood looking blank.

  singing very poor.

  What they need to do is go listen to some gospel music and add some beat or more upbeat tunes or something.since they are already adopting some of the "worldly" religions stuff. Still the same ole same ole put you to sleep songs. A few of the old songs at least had a lil upswing to it but they dumbed those down too. One of which was sung at the last convention and i was like oh good i remember this song then boom the lyrics had been changed to something crazy...Ha!

  Yep, I know someone that gets SSI disability/food stamp, won't try to find a job at all but will faithfully be at the KH to pioneer. But when I bring up the scripture that says if you don't work you don't eat, she says she's working for Jehovah and he will provide for her.....

  Canadian branch getting rid of their trucks and drivers

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a recent letter to the elders outlined the new arrangement for delivering literature to the congregations.

  the canadian branch will be downsizing by eliminating drivers and trucks and utilizing commercial carriers to bring the boxes of monthly literature .

  more outsourcing and more lay offs.. the funny thing about it is that they want to have the literature delivered to various private homes of the rank and file rather than have the literature delivered to the kingdom hall.

  I have to agree with Incognito about them going to be sending less literature. Isn't there another thread saying they sent out a letter to elders asking them to limit their orders because there was too much waste of magazines, etc. And also they're probably going to be doing a lot less printing and more on internet.

  Remember the two elderly sisters?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  about a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.

  if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.

  here is the link.

  ToesUp I've seen firsthand how they truly enjoy gossiping about those that have left or df'd. And for some strange reason the elders' wives seem to always know what goes on in the JC meetings. I used to hate that. And its like when they see you're still doing good they can't seem to figure out why.

  ex. I busted my butt working and recently purchased a new home....my jw aunt told me I need to hurry and come back to Jehovah before I lose it...Whhhaaaaa???!!!???

  a close relative of mine was recently told by her elders to stop taking "gifts/help" from worldly organizations and that they would start helping her with any needs because it looked bad for her to be taking gifts from them. I will ask her if they have indeed stepped up and started helping. Which I already know this was just a tactic to keep people from saying so and so is a JW and takes help from us but those JW's never donate or help others. And I'm pretty positive she doesn't ask them for that help because she doesn't want to feel needy or talked about in the cong.

  Need the hardest evidence possible that humans have lived for more than 6000 years

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since coming out of the witnesses, i have gone through a transformation in thought and in mind.

  i started with the usual: i thought that jesus was god.

  then i investigated more about the bible and thought that the bible was not true, given the many contradictions, failed prophecies, etc.. then i investigated evolution and read lots and now i accept evolution and natural selection as things that are true.. now, i need to make my dad rethink everything.
