Is the name Jehovah the GOD of the WTBS?

by architect in

if the english version of jehovah is not correct and the wtbs insist on using it based on their research is it right to say that this is the god of jehovahs witnesses?

.

is this a correct assumption?.

Same rules doesn't always apply- Division or what?

by architect in

have anyone noticed that from one hall to the next that the rules for the use of the brothers is different?

over the years i've notice this:.

one congregation required the brothers that attend there have 10 hrs a month, never miss a meeting and be 18 or older.

One congregation required the brothers that attend there have 10 hrs a month, never miss a meeting and be 18 or older

One congregation required the brothers that attend there have 5 hrs a month, regular meeting attendance and be 15 or older

One congregation required the brothers that attend there to be regular in service, regular meeting attendance and be 15 or older

WTBS leaves it up to each body of elders to decide- doesnt this show division at the congregation level?

what has been your experience?

New special campaign....a few things that most don't see....

by RedPill2006 in

ok. we have that "special" campaign ahead.....i still don't know how i will avoid participating....my family is all excited and will put the pressure on.....i might get my 50 tracts and toss them somewhere......it will look suspicious that i finished after an hour and "placed" 50 pcs in a territory that is closed to jw.....anyway.

here a few thoughts that crossed my mind:.

everybody at my hall is all excited about this special tract and i can't get the nice conversations i usually have with a few going, because of the excitement.

Have any one noticed that the watchtower studies have been about JOB! what we must do when faced with persecution and trials...Is the WTBS trying to get things all rousted up or bring some excitement back into the organization? The president from the UN said recently in so many words that religion should not be used to incite war. Doesnt sound like the UN or so called political powers is ready to get rid of babylon the great right now.

Changes at NY Bethel

by architect in

last dec 2005, the ny bethel gave talks indicating that they had to downsize (word is mine) due to "improved technology" and that as a result of this simplification some bethel family members would be invited to serve in the united states field in various assignments at various congregations where the excellent training they have recieved at bethel could be put to use and contribute much to the preaching and disciple making work.. what do you make of this?.

i wonder how they would determine who stays or goes?.

are there any former bethel members out there who can comment on rather this would be an easy transistion for those who have to leave?.

The talk about healthcare was not concerning alternate methods of care. It was talking about in so many words about being to concern with spending lots of time making sure you have it all togther that you have the right coverage the right doctors the right hospitals ect. they didnt use those exact words but thats what you can come away with. It was said that Jehovah will take care of us, the kingdom will fix all our problems including health- that we need to be more concern about preaching.

how ironic that last nights service meeting they read a letter from the society asking for contributions for the traveling overseers "healthcare", you know cost per publisher thing stating the rise in the cost of healthcare something we should not be so concern about , yeah right.

Carla would you agree?
