I don't read dutch either, but here is the literal translation:
hoe lang houden zij het schieten op "nieuw wachttorenlicht" nog vol?
how long do they keep shooting on "new watchtower light" still full?

Paradise; What's yours?
by ljwtiamb inhere's something that i always wondered as a jw: with the virtually limitless tastes, hopes & desires, as well as cultures, families and backgrounds, did we all have the same idea of paradise in mind?
it used to (bother?
) me that, perhaps the pictures of fruit & animals that i carried around in my service bag, were not paradise for everybody.

Do you have to Kiss the Ass of the GB to be a Writer for the Watchtower?
by frankiespeakin into be a writer for the wt has be a very empty and unsatifying work asignment.
imagine having your hard work picked over and dumbed down to appeal to those with very limited education.
how humiliating!

Not to offend your questions, but it's really not much different for writers inside wts than it is for any high profile job in a global media corporation. IMO, if it were not for the internet (as well as underground rags), with its anonymity and freedom of speech, there might not be any difference between and information outlet.
Day in and day out writing the same old non-sense garbage
very empty and unsatifying work asignment
having your hard work picked over and dumbed down to appeal
regularly kiss the as of the GB either verbally or in thier writings and perhaps both on a regular basis
there are plenty more ass kissers to take thier place if they didn't.
suffer depression when they read thier own work, for they must really see the bull shit clearly and it must be very depressing

It used to (bother?) me that, perhaps the pictures of fruit & animals that I carried around in my service bag, were not paradise for EVERYBODY. In fact, I now feel that much of our perceptions of the eternal reward are based on a very shallow understanding of things.
Now that I am learning about others' concept of heaven, a single place can't cover it for us all. Young guys who fly planes into buildings, want a heaven full of virgins. Old geezers want paradise that returns their youth & health. Poor jungle dwellers who just lost their uncle to a tiger want tame animals and lots of fruit. Depending on which day you ask me, I want all of their's and more.
So whaddya think?

Proof that the END is NEAR!
by ljwtiamb inevery few years there is some major disaster or world situation that is exploited by the wts and jws to 'prove' that we are in the last days and end is near.. as i grew up there was:the whole cold war and threat of nuclear holocaustwatergateassassination of president kennedymurder of martin luther kingshooting of the pope.
thankfully the news sources are constantly offering up fresh disaster coverage for jws to shove down our throats.
if we are not kept on edge, no one can sell us anything: watchtower & awake!

Can you think of others?

I can't say. It would be too much info, that would be a definite indentifying mark and then I will be on the DF list for sure!
Not that that's a terrible thing, but I ain't just ready for it yet!

Did U ever wonder - if the end was so close - why were we building Kh's?
by AK - Jeff ini always wondered why we were not spending the money to build halls in remote and poor areas that needed them - but instead we would build new halls and sell old ones in places where we were seeing little growth.. every congregation in this area has built a new hall in the past 20 or so years.
yet the congs are the same basic size they were before.
most have had a least one major remodel since building new.

When I was involved in the WT construction work, they explained that these buildings 'could' become central organizing centers to help in rebuilding the new system.
Don't underestimate the jw mind's ability to rationalize ANYTHING that is sponsored by the society!
