  Evolutionists Creator "Deity" Under Scrutiny

  by hooberus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  because of the complexity of the creaton, everyone believes in a "creator".

  creationists believe that this creator is the god of the bible.

  like so many in this book, this argument is new.

  Circuit Overseer Pensions and the Implications

  by AlanF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just learned that the watchtower society has instituted a pension plan of sorts for circuit overseers.

  this is a big change.. previous to this new plan, the various kinds of "traveling overseers" were pretty much on their own when they retired from the traveling work.

  in a few cases, such men were invited to live out their lives in bethel, but in most cases they simply went back to being normal rank and file members who had to fend for themselves financially.. i can only speculate that the reason for this change was that the society has been having difficulty getting elders to become circuit overseers.

  Circuit Overseer Celebrities?

  by Delboy222 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a active jw, but one question i would like to know is why do these 'men' get treated as superstar celebrities when they attend the congregation?.

  for as long as i can remember, there seems to be a 'buzz of excitement' when it is announced that he and his wife are due to visit.

  what is so special about them?.
