  no: "never in these instances, however, did they presume or originate predictions in the name of jehovah.

  never did they say these are the words of jehovah.

  A question to ex elders or anyone about the remnant

  by cultswatter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when a remnant dies, is the death reported to the wts ?

  such as name, date of death etc is there a special form that the elders have to fill out when this happens?.

  also when just a regular jdub (non-remnant) dies is their death reported to the wts?.

  The c/o notes partakers, not by name, only by number. They are also counted each year at the memorial. Number only, no names. When one dies, the only thing that is picked up is the count next time. No special report to my knowlege. As far as when regular dubz die, no reports are made. Only publisher numbers. The cong keeps a card on stats and it may get noted there when someone dies....that is all.

  Hi, I wish you all the best if you can get the "discussion" this far. There are some great points raised here by the other posters.
  We only wish that friends/family would give us half an opportunity to use some of this stuff.
  If you get the chance, watch for the looking up at the ceiling and while you are speaking, they will all of a sudden spot some fly dirt on the light or something and then tune out, then as soon as you draw a breath, they will change the subject to fly dirt......
  Watch for the far away stare, then ask questions to keep them invovled.....

  Sensational news in my Cong!

  by Zico in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i've just found out something that's going to be a massive thing in my congregation when it gets out.

  it all starts with a former jw, who faded away probably about a decade ago, and then moved away, came out as a homosexual a few years ago.

  he was never baptised, and he left so long ago, he never got chased up or disfellowshipped.

  The original poster also highlights another point, the living of a double life. Don't most dubz lead a triple life? One person at home, another at work and the another at the KH or in dub activities? And then there is the issue of orientation?.............

  If A > B, and B > C, then A > C

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if a is greater than b, and b is greater than c, then a is greater than c. .

  so, if god can't lie.

  and the watchtower has a history of bad predictions and flip flops,.

  Hi Guys,
  Done the math, both equations are right, you both go to the top of the class, and your reasoning is that simple, why didn't I see it 20 years ago?

  'Church members are responsible...', AWAKE!, 8/8/87, pp.10,11

  by compound complex in

  if your church fails to act, will you?.

  "if, after making an honest investigation, you are less than pleased with what you see, do more than just complain.

  a journalist, while commenting on karl barth's statement that a church is its members, logically concluded: 'church members...are responsible for what the church says and does.

  What a great comment! You have been doing some serious digging by the look of it.
  I suppose the reality is that with any digging into the publications you could find enough "quotes" to fill a whole web site!!

  Why is it so many Men agree to take on the Position of an Elder?

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wonder because with the stresses of earning a living, taking care of immediate family, and getting in little free time that is available, why would anyone want to take on this extra job at no charge, answer to more bosses, and be submited to endless critisizing behind your back for decisions.

  it just seems crazy.. r..

  Recognition, Approval/Wanting to be well thought of by others....then comes influence...then comes POWER......if you call it that. Very small cogs in very small wheels.
