  What is "The Organizaton"?

  by watson in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the powers that be back at headquarters seem to really be developing this idea that the individual witnesses make up the "organization".

  i'm seeing this idea/train of thought coming up more and more in places like jw chat rooms.

  is that so the members will end up taking more personal responsibility for the mis steps of the board of directors/governing body?

  Hmmm. That thought just seems to be coming up more and more in theo-speech. Maybe I've just been "out of the box" for too long.

  Maybe I shouldn't make a big deal about his. Just suspicious of their methods and intent.

  wachtower dec 1 2011 p.10 "french village faces influx of apocalypse believers...they believe the world will end 21 december 2012 when the end of....ancient maya calander...despite predictions by calamity-howling religious leaders, pseudoscientists, and any other prognosticators, earth will be in existence for a long time...when will this occur?

  no human knows.

  Thanks Cap'n. Makes sense. The last time I attended a Circle Assembly, the music overhead was so loud, I could hardly hear any voice. Just strange.

  My son was murdered today

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

  Absurd WT Control in April 2012 KM

  yeah in the section on attending the convention, you will find this gem:.

  "therefore, we should give attention to our dress and grooming while in the convention city, including when we check in at the hotel.

  arriving in shorts and a t-shirt would not reflect dignity.".

  I am disturbed by this video and am not sure what to make of it?

  i warn you, there are some graphic images.

  it seems like a young person who was insulted by a fellow jw made a video about burning her and the rest of the jw's in the kingdom hall.

  what do you make of this?

  How Will the Society React to the Hundred Year Anniversary of 1914?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw

  it's only a couple of years away now and what a headache it must present to the gb - providing they have given it much thought already.

  there probably is no elegant way of presenting the hundred year long failure of the end to come; the fact that the "short period of time" of satan being cast down to the earth has now stretched beyond any credibility.

  but they have to deal with it one way or another.

  It will give them another opportunity to ask "Is It Later Than You Think".

  Behind the scenes, they'll be celebrating the centinial celebration of a great Corporation. The bestest organization ever!!

  What's the JW reaction to new 16 page mags????

  if you've been to the meeting when the letter was read, what was jw reaction????

  just curious if it was just another sign that the end is nearer or did any wake up for a second to realize the corporation is downsizing due to costs..

  The bro that gave the talk said something that I thought was telling. He mentioned that the work was being simplified. Then he mentioned that it seemed that most of what we are doing now is inviting people to our special events. Pointed to the Memorial "campaign", then the invite to the "Special" talk, and that soon we would be inviting folks to the summer conventions.

  No more 5 minute sermons with 2 scriptures read and applied?? Those were the days.
