  Goodbye to JWD ... hello to JWN !

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  as i announced some time ago, jwd as it is will not continue .... ... but .... it's clear from people's comments that they do like the site and many would like it or something else like it to continue.. one issue was the forum software that was self-developed and not really in a good state to hand-over to anyone but i've been working on that and can now reveal the first release of what will probably be called jwn (son of jwd):.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/.

  it is still work-in-progress so not all features are enabled yet but it will allow you to browse the site in a similar way to this one and it is pointing at the same database (although because of the way the caching works, new posts made on this site won't appear immediately).

  Congregation not sending the WBTS enough money ... *sigh*

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw

  last night one of the elders had a part in the service meeting where he informed the congregation that we are not sending our fair share to the wbts.

  the congregation seems to be doing okay when it comes to contributing to the local congregation so that electric bills can be paid and so forth.

  but when it comes to literature (the worldwide work), the congregation is woefully negligent.. according to this brother, a circuit overseer has recently stated that if witnesses still had to pay for their literature as they used to, individual watchtower and awake!

  "With that in mind, many publishers estimate what these items might cost if commercially produced, and then they contribute accordingly. For example, a deluxe, gold-edged Bible can easily cost $20 or more, a reference book may be $40 and up, a full-color wall calendar may sell for at least $5, an encyclopedia on CD-ROM costs from $50 to $100 or higher, music compact discs commonly cost close to $20, and some videos are often sold for much more."
  
  Of course, those companies selling encyclopedias on CDs for $50-$100 are in it for the profit. Yet the WTS is "suggesting" (*GAG*) that the publishers "contribute" just as much as to them! Wasn't there a thread on here a few weeks back that estimated the cost of mass-produced CDs to be about 5 cents apiece?
  
  What ever happened to, "You received free, so give free"?

  No Communion for Obama supporters says Priest

  by cameo-d in

  2. beliefs

  this is getting ridiculous.

  all religion ever does is cause confusion and division.

  it is time to bitch slap these religious purveyors and put an end to this nonsense.. .

  I feel truly sorry for people who believe that the Catholic church is the only way to God. They spend their lives afraid of going to hell for using contraception, for being gay, for taking communion without going to confession, etc.... and now for voting for Obama.
  
  I am sooooooo glad to be free.

  MY PROJECT IS (FINALLY) FINISHED!

  by Mary in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for those of you who are interested, the project i've been working on for the last few months is finally finished.

  i originally did a thread about it back in april: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/156497/1.ashx.

  it seems that alot of us still have family members in the religion and have not infrequent arguments with them about some of the beliefs and practices.

  Will you reply to this topic or just read it?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some topics generate hundreds of reads but few replies.

  others, well ... i'm not one for scientific studies.

  nor why one thing works and another will not, despite the time and effort put into it (whatever the thing/endeavor happens to be).. kindly inform me if you, in passing by and, having nothing better to do of a saturday eve, happen to see this post but have no intention of responding.. perhaps this is rocket science after all.. thank you for reading though finding no necessity to reply .... "they stayed away in droves.".

  What are your plans post JWD?

  by penny2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  will you be joining another forum or leaving it all behind?.

  i took to heart simon's thread about moving on past the "ex-jw" phase and i've been spending less time at the computer.

  it's comforting though, to come back on here occasionally and see how my cyber friends are doing.. so i'm glad there are options - i've noticed some familiar faces on new forums - there may be access to jwd in some form..... .....and there's a whole world out there!.

  Can't leave it all behind as long as my husband is in. There is no one else who understands the unique problems and stresses that creates like another exJW. I really need the support.
  
  I'm still hoping that JWD won't really go away....
