  Met the new CO (correction officer) this week

  by truth doubter in

  just want to share my take on the new circuit overseers visit.

  first impression, he's a control freak.

  he got up several times to correct the servants on lights, sound and speaker stand positioning.

  We have just had our CO visit. He said the same in a talk called: "Inspired expressions of Error"

  These are the main expressions of error to watch out for.
  

  1: Do not seek Higher Education:
  

  2: Don't listen to anyone who says "The end is not near" *(Why didn't he bring out Lk 21:8, - I don't know)

  3: No harm looking at porn:

  4: Negative media reports about JW’s are lies, thankfully we know that but people in the world don’t.

  After hearing these 4 points, who really is promoting inspired expressions of error.

  Raw Footage of Australian Royal Commision

  i see alot of youtube channels that have footage of the hearing, however i can not find the original footage?

  can anyone point me in the direction of where the original footage is?

  i am working on a project and do not want to strip footage from someones channel or steal someones work in terms of editing it or downloading it and uploading it with changes.

  I think the original broadcast was only on the Australian Royal Commision website.

  Stupid Organization!

  by stillin in

  2. beliefs

  a while back, a local witness lost their home in a fire.

  an announcement was made at the meeting that if anybody wanted to contribute, they could do so through their service group overseer.

  my guess is that this arrangement is meant to bring tears of joy to the eyes of the impoverished one, and thankfulness to "jehovah's organization.

  Relative going full retard JW.org

  by biometrics in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a relative has gone full-retard with jw.org on facebook.

  every post is something to do with going to bethel or pioneering overseas.. the catalyst for this full-retard behavior seems to be a recent marriage breakdown (both jw's).

  and the fact he was caught trying to embezzle an elderly relative's live savings.

  I find it odd the Jehovah Witnesses I know don't have any trace of even being on a JW on their FB pages.

  Thats me, I want nothing to link me with JW on facebook. only a very small % of my facebook friends are JWs. Almost all JWs I know that post jw.org stuff on Facebook are odd within themselves and in most case's they put more fear in the Governing Body than they do in Jehovah. Sad, but you can't help them.

  Buy those string lights at christmas time and have them turned on all days except Christmas day. Refuse to go to a witness only BBQ on Christmas day because some non-witness's might see you and think you are celebrating Christmas. Its ok to eat steak that is cooked rear and still floating in red liquid but not ok to eat tomatoes that have had blood & bone fertilizer used. Speaking negative facts about the org is wrong but positive lies about them is fine.

  I think most of the above predictions will happen, just not in the next 12 months.

  And: Public talks will someday be all the same talk that is video fed over the KH video systems. No need to find a local speaker to do these talks each week.

  Watchtowers policy of shunning our own close relatives

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having looked over the february' 2016 wt study article ' learn from jehovah's loyal servants' and meditating on the 'advice' from the fds aka gb regarding the shunning of our own close relatives if they have been disfellowshipped.

  the example in par 7 highlighting how a woman called anne shuns her own mother for 'as she says' cutting herself off from jehovah.

  i can't help but wonder how audacious and wreckless watchtower is in writing this stuff.

  She sent me 'Return to Jehovah' I sent her a Christmas card

  by Xanthippe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it just felt so good to say to a jw i don't feel the guilt this booklet says i must be feeling.

  i don't feel guilty for having a great big christmas tree or letting my daughter have birthdays, easter eggs, dress up at halloween, have sleepovers and friends, i told her.

  i only feel guilty about not contributing to live aid and bandaid and giving the money to a cult instead.

  Don't you love the way the writers of this booklet write the reasons people leave Jehovah, but they never address the real reason the majority leave the WT org. Can't have the R&F knowing this.

  At 8:29 bottom left of the screen you see a producer giving a count down for what normally would be used for a live broadcast. I somehow doubt this was broadcast live so why not just edit that part out?,..
