Recent Update - Service Report

by Da.Furious in

on oct. 22, eight brothers were released from prison in turkmenistan by presidential amnesty.

(see 2014 yearbook, p. 31) the ninth brother is still imprisoned, but it is hoped that he will be released shortly.

some were already in prison for three or more years and had been severely mistreated.

There are lots of ways to count time without having to talk too to many people when recording time, Not technically lying, just making the most of the time in the field. Walking very slowly, coffee shop, RV on the other side of town that you know most likily wont be home, etc.

I've been stumbled.

i just realized that all these dates that the borg have said the end would come on or by and then it didn't happen, have stumbled me.

why such a fascination and trying to divine the answer from scripture when scripture plainly says only the father knows the day and the hour?

by their predictions, they actually sent many christians on the path of date-based worship insted of faith-based worship.. if they have stumbled me, then who is reponsible for that?.

Also this warning that Jesus said would happen in the last days:

Luke 21:8 (NASB) |

8 And He said, “See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not go after them.

Great scan.

Top of pg 15, "A fantastic 17 percent increase in crime over 1967." Why is that fantastic?

Since the average JW is not able to verify this statement from the 1969 Awake, it is easier to dismiss this it as a lie, and then forget about it. Beside's, we are now living that much closer to the end, that we should be faithfully following the GB's warnings about how close we are to it now. No time to think about a career in this system of things...

i had a look in the library last meeting and my hall still has all the bound volumes going right back to the beginning.

including studies in the scriptures.

i thought the order from on high was that these were to be destroyed or taken away?

Before our rebuild, on one of the weekend cleaning rosters, we did a sorting of any double ups of books in the library to make room for newer books, The elder in charge that day said I could have these extras for my own personal collection. They were mainly WT volumes from the 60's.

Which are now all boxed up in my shed, LOL.

Our KH had an impressive collection of the older books once. It covered one entire wall in the same room that TMS 2 was held in, and there were more boxes of books stored away in the the KH shed that weren't on display. Then came a rebuild of our hall, and now one devoted room to be called the Library. I was looking forward to this, with plently of room for all these books to now go on shelves. When our new hall was completed, a visit to the new library was the first thing I did, and guess what, not one book to be seen. I was shocked and disappointed, (maybe they havn't set up this room yet?) there was now a large table with about 8 chairs in the middle of this room and a laptop with printer on another table. Also a lot of empty cupboard’s (some locked), and in the end 2 cupboards were about 20 of the most recently released books. I hope the impressive library of books we once had have not been throw out. Hopefully they are boxed away in the KH shed waiting for the time that one day they will be available for all to read again.

Not on JW.org: SIX Texas victims acuse Jehovah's Witness Elder & Circuit Overseer of sexual abuse, and bring lawsuit against Watchtower for cover-up.

by Balaamsass2 in

sexual exploitation and abuse of six young children leads to lawsuit in dallas county.

dallas, oct. 23, 2014 /news.gnom.es/ six young adults, from north texas, all sexually abused as children, filed suit today in dallas, texas state court against three north texas jehovahs witnesses congregations (dallas, plano, and greenville), the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, and an elder.. sexually abused when they were ages 4 through 14, the plaintiffs were children of members of the dallas, plano, and greenville jehovahs witnesses congregations.

the suit states that they were repeatedly sexually abused and molested by an elder and an unknown regional circuit overseer, and that they and their families were threatened with discipline and harm if they disclosed the abuse to anyone.

How timely it was that the meeting last week warned us that satan will use the worldly media to spread these lies about jehovahs organization.
