  2. experiences

  its been mentioned before---care homes.

  in the uk there are a few ( no idea how many ) jireh care homes--loosely connected with the watchtower.. but take this on board.

  the dubs are an ever aging customer base.. in the uk, lots of the ageing population end their years in privately run care homes.

  I mentioned this on another thread a couple of hours ago. The HQ in Chelmsford could be converted into a care home. The Christadelphians have done this. In fact care homes seems to be their main charitable activity now.

  Gorby and Richard, the 2017 booklet is for Britain branch, hence no GB.

  I’d say there’s potential for lots of interesting analysis of jobs and personnel turnover here. Definitely documents to hold on to.

  Would be great to get more years and branches, Germany in particular. Plus closed branches such as Switzerland and Austria.

  Sunday's Watchtower Study March 18... Another Money Appeal

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  january 2018 issue "why give to the one who has everything?

  an unashamed contribution appeal... this one with the most manipulative language i can imagine... it may have been commented on before, but i am going to anyway.. p5 quote.

  "would you not agree that jehovah is worthy of all the glory and honor that we can give him by offering the best that we have?

  Anyone who thinks they aren’t in serious trouble isn’t paying attention. This is full on begging with “prosperity doctrine” bribery on top.

  But Witnesses are deeply stingy and will not be roused to give more money easily, or at all. Print literature has been all but abandoned. They are being asked for more money at a time when they are being provided less than ever in return. And congregation autonomy over finances has been removed. Even JWs notice these things.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses / Parasites On Christendom ,they need to thank them for the membership they have today.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah`s witnesses claim that all their beliefs are based on the bible.the bible clearly states early on in deut.4:2 not to add to the word....and rev.22:18 re-iterates much the same thing in not to make additions to the word of god.. i think we could agree on that the organization has raised the bar on that one with their "weasel" words on so many issues that have already been thrashed out on this forum.. so a few other things that come to my mind are : with regards to j.w`s being parasites on christendom.. 1. they claim christendom apostatized itself from true christianity by the 3rd century , yet they accept apostate christendoms determination of what books are to be included in the bible as gods word as if they were governed by holy spirit to do so.?.

  2.jehovah`s witnesses have only ever followed in christendoms missionaries footsteps where they have gone preaching and poaching off of the work these missionaries that have laid the groundwork before them .. 3.jehovah`s witnesses have never opened up virgin territory and gone where no other christian missionary has ever gone before .

  { not to my knowledge anyway i stand to be corrected if i am wrong on this point}.

  I think JWs agree with this: the parable of the dragnet.

  If the Watchtower corporation went bust

  what do you think would happen to jehovah's witnesses as a religion and as a people?.

  I agree Watchtower is in the middle of collapsing, as evidenced by selling off branches, firing special pioneers and sending bethelites home.

  Except I think it could get a whole lot worse. They could start selliing KHs and assembly halls even where there is no plausible organisational justification.

  Plus the new branch in England is a real one to watch. In reality they don't need it any more at all, because it won't do any printing. But to reverse plans and sell it off would be such a major climbdown they will only do it if they absolutely have to. Which I think they will, and send the money the United States to keep the headquarters functioning just a little bit longer.

  How soon is soon?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i guess if the jdubs have no clue how long a generation is they also wouldn't know how long a time period the word "soon" refers too.. 60 years ago my mother would hammer into my brain how soon the great tribulation was.

  soon jehovah would destroy the wicked.

  then a few years later there was no need to go to college because the end was so soon.

  I believe Watchtower writers could benefit from an explanation of "near and far" from our old pal Grover.

  Interesting that 1999 lists Albert and (presumably) his wife Charlotte, plus his son Judah Ben Schroeder and (presumably) his wife Amber, plus "Jacob Schroeder", another son?

  The 2015 directory has no Schroeders, so presumably they left after Albert (and his wife?) died?

  Watchtower back to criticising the United Nations

  by AverageJoe1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the outline number 44 from this year’s regional assembly states:.

  la organización de las naciones unidas es en realidad una falsificación del reino mesiánico, y es una ofensa para dios.. .

  translation: “the united nations organisation is actually a counterfeit of the messianic kingdom, and it is offensive to god.”.

  Clearly, undeniably, without doubt ... is there a term for introducing a thought in such a way.

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower article often introduce a point that has no merit with words such a "undeniably.".

  for instance the watchtower 2014 august 15 page 10 says:.

  "jehovah undeniably blesses the preaching work of christian women and supports them in times of trial.

  Incidentally, it was one such word, so the story goes, that made my father in law leave JWs. He was reading the section "chronology" in the old Aid book, which used the word "evidently" in relation to 607 BCE, with no actual justification before or after. He concluded he couldn't believe in the teachings on the basis of an "evidently".
