  Third World WTS

  by gringojj in

  the wts is growing rapidly in poor countries this we know.

  but my question is how are things conducted in these areas?

  the wts could be baptising people left and right just to show the number of jws worldwide is increasing.

  The WTS is growing rapidly in poor countries this we know. But my question is how are things conducted in these areas? The WTS could be baptising people left and right just to show the number of JWs worldwide is increasing. I think the WTS is even more dangerous in these countries because at least Americans have an idea about them because of thier past and reputation when they come to our door, but in poor countries they may know nothing and may not have access to the internet to check them out. But the question is who is running things in these places? If they are just shotgun baptisms, then i wouldnt think there would be enough people to serve as elders, po's, co's, things like that. And if they have people from the USA for example, how do they keep tabs on the people there? Like i wonder if dubs poorer nations are turning in thier bros and sis's left and right to elders. Does anyone have any insight or experience on whats really going on? And how do we know for sure that these people even exist and that the WTS doesnt make them up knowing that nobody is going to go to these places to verify the numbers?

  Watchtower play on words

  by Jahna in

  i was looking at the aug 1, 2004 watchtower which discusses government, and on page 6 it basically states that the jw?s provides volunteer relief during times of disaster.

  it points to earth quakes in el salvador in 2001 where the world wide brother hood sent not only relief but the jw?s built/repaired over 500 homes and 3 (here is the key phrase) houses of worship.

  ok sounds great right, how noble a gesture.

  WTS and charity?

  by gringojj in

  my sister in law was going to have her electricity shut off and she brought her notice to catholic charities and they paid it for her.

  makes me wonder would the wts do the same?

  are they known to do anything charitable besides spreading the good news?

Are they known to do anything charitable besides spreading the good news? In my hometown there were seven churches that worked together one day of the week each would hoast a soup kitchen for the hungry of the communtiy. Every day the hungry had a chance for a meal it was 7 different religions working together. That is true love among people regardless of religion. WTS? Anything?

  i really blew it yesterday.

  we had just gotten home from a very long day and we were contemplating what to do for dinner and then a knock at the door.

  the sister was back with an elder and he asked to speak to my husband...completely got his name wrong.
