  My impressions of the cart witnessing

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

  the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

  when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

  Someone posted a pic on this forum of a group "witnessing" at one of those carts, and it had them all deeply engrossed on their cellphones, paying no attention to anything or anyone else. I tried to find it by a search but came up empty. It was one of those pictures that says a thousand words. Anybody know the key words to find it on the search engine?

  a thread began some 10 years ago when our friend atlantis made a pdf available of jws modern history book.

  yes, that book is available on my 2015 library cd but only certain chapters.

  naturally, wt eliminated certain entire chapters and you can only guess why.

  Atlantis, thanks yet again. Having the electronic version allows one to do far more than having just the hardback does (especially searches).

  Well, if you haven't met with the judicial committee yet, you may well do so soon by posting what you have here and giving your real name! This is all they'll need:

  But I fully disagree with the Governing body.
  

  They may just announce that you've disassociated yourself by your actions. They like to do that. Or perhaps they're afraid of legal action so they'll formally "mark" you. What they are really afraid of is that you'll continue "to discuss with brothers and sisters touchy subjects."
  

  As to them admitting that they were wrong about something, what have you been smoking?

  How can they justify keeping yr details if you refuse to sign?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've just been watching theleaked videos that fay dehr has provided, they really scared me and i can't understand how legally they can justify keeping contact det ails for people who refuse to sign their new data form?

  surely the law states that they must destroy the data if the person refuses to sign?.

  also i'd like to look at their data form and the terms and conditions (the small print) that comes with it, where can i find this?.

  Likely a bit foolish since their keeping data against someone's wishes could serve as fodder for more lawsuits down the line, but then one thing the GB has shown about themselves: they don't usually give heavy consideration to Prov. 22:3.
  

  BTW, leaked letters/memoranda show that this policy is NOT just for the EU. That list provided by Atlantis shows the policy is for many countries in Asia, Africa, South and Central America. Conspicuous by their absence in the list, however, are the USA and Canada.

  Thanks, Atlantis. A 31-page directive—how ... downright organizational! From Applications to Zabbix, oh, so complete! I can imagine some old slsters, if they could get a glimpse of these secret organizational "nuggets" would exclaim, "How theocratic!"

  loneranger,

  Thanks for this post, and rebelfighter for the old link.

  Does anyone know who is doing the reconstruction, Witness volunteers or a professional company? If the latter, does the company belong to a brother or some worldly group? It would certainly be dangerous work for untrained nonprofessionals.

  It's interesting that they are going ahead with a fix since that will likely cost them some serious money. Of course, the other options like trying to sell it to someone else "as is" would involve them in legal liability, and leaving it "as is" is probably a health hazard and the local government wouldn't want some condemned building just sitting as an eye-sore.

  Yes, their environmental thinking is non-existent. Maybe things like this and the Warwick pollution will wake them up as to the need to check such things out in advance. They certainly are slow learners!

  How Precious Is A Governing Body Mole(Double Agent, 5th Colunm) To Sabatoge The Watchtower Organization?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i would suppose that there are many at very sensitive operations at headquarters and around the world that are moles or double agents a 5th column if you will that are in but mentally out and full of hated for the governing body.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fifth_column.

  a fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or nation.

  the activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.

  It seems to be EVERYTHING and often we get it before the flock get it.
  

  Committee chairman, who has dropped out of this forum, used to say he began coming here because he could get the correspondence and publications here before they came officially to his BOE.
