  guys .

  a letter was just read in out kh stating that all printing of wt and awake is ceased for the coming year and we will just place tracts on fs, countries which were cared by our branch will be cared by other countries...along with this they read the new fs form and stuff about reporting links of videos wtf..lol.

  i can't tell which country perhaps that will give away a lot, any one with a similar information.

  perhaps a country soon to have a ban...

  Let's hope not. Bans do nothing but strengthen their resolve.

  What I would like to see soon!

  by John Aquila in

  i would like to see one or better two members of the governing body get disfellowshipped and they both go off to write books like ray franz exposing the cult to all the sexual scandals, the hidden agendas with the stock market investments, the lawsuits, the laying of long time bethel workers, hidden sins by the higher ups and all the other nasty skeletons in the watchtower closet..

  what would be different today compared to rays time is that we now live in a social media world..

  they would be invited to talk in the oprah winfrey show, ellen degeneres show, the view, dateline.

  I think many would be willing to contribute to a GoFundMe campaign for a GB member that defected. It's funny because we would be showing more of a Christian attitude than the org.

  What could they do to a person who signed an NDA? It's not like they have any money. Ray left with $10,000 to his name. I'd be happy to lose whatever money they gave as a "severance" in order to spill the truth.

  Why are projects being shut down? Nu-light speculation....

  i went to the meeting last night.

  to keep the peace for now, i guess.

  anyway...... during the bible highlights, a newly appointed ms explained why construction is being curtailed in some areas.

  Maybe that's a rumor that is leaked so they can later pin the problems on a fall-guy?

  THE WTBTS AND "PARTIAL DISTINCTIONS" (JAMES 3:17)

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  draw close to jehovah.

  chapter 22 - is the wisdom from above at work in your life?.

  paragraph 18 - not making partial distinctions, not hypocritical"godly wisdom rises above racial prejudice and national pride.

  That is why I started a goatee for "No-shave November" (would be a beard, but my sideburns don't grow) and I will continue to keep the goatee after November. I look forward to the "partial distinctions" that will be made towards me. I will wear the goatee as a badge of honor and maybe will help some other to think for themselves.

  Does the W.T have financial problems are are they just rebranding?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is evident that the w.t has recently re-branded itself, and has become fairly modern in its marketing techniques.

  so the organisation is in that respect forward thinking, and the former way of doing things has past.. .

  but this rebranding has been done by marketing experts, who maybe realise progress is progress, and that with modernisation many bethelites " even as free volunteers" are possibly no longer required.

  Money is property, but it's not liquid. They can't do anything with it if it's tied up in real estate. They can't rent it out like other businesses might as they'd be held responsible by the R&F for whatever those businesses did. So, yes, selling high-value property is dumb in a business model, but makes sense if you need to free up cash.

  I also think they are looking to isolate bethel workers even more. I've heard many stories of the trouble that those in the big cities would get in to. By moving to a more remote location, they will lower the number of incidences.

  Instagram witnessing

  by Thursday in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sorry if this has been covered, but are they now counting time by linking to their website on instagram accounts of jws?.

  i keep a casual stalk on my niece and nephew on insta, and have found links to all their local jw youth insta accounts, even their parents have accounts, it seems quite acceptable.

  99% of them are private but every single one has a link to the website in their bio and a thing saying "jw" and often a scripture or god reference.

  You can count video showings, sending links to people, text messages, etc. Maybe they count likes by non-JWs as RVs. Maybe they count the time it took to post and fudge a bit to account for the time that it took to post on multiple sites?

  the human brain has a neural interdependence that underpins the human need to group together.

  learn why we need others to thrive and survive on the next episode of the brain with david eagleman, airing tonight at 10/9c on pbs.. watchtower knows that isolation is a killer and yet they enforce it.. they are murdering our brains!.

  Meetings, Ministry and Modification of the Flesh

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sociology of the body is a popular topic for critical analysis.

  i wonder if a general survey has been undertaken in relation to watchtower's exercise of authority over the bodies of adherents.

  it occurs to me they exercise authority over the body in four main ways: appearance, private practice, public performance, and location.

  Where is the instruction that couples shouldn't hold hands during a prayer. I've searched the WT Library and can't find the reference.

  Thanks,
