Kingdom Hall in Chile has National flag!!

by wolfman85 in

in the spanish website extj one forum user shows evidence that on the 18th and 19th of september in chile the government calls to honor the nation displaying the national flag everywhere.

failure to do so is liable to a fine.

you can see the photos here: http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?23799-celebracion-de-la-patria-y-la-doble-moral-de-los-tjs-auspiciado-por-la-watch-tower/page2.

WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!

by JW GoneBad in

jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.

at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.

an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

Maybe they plan to build new halls and sell the old ones??

That's an awful lot of halls and money with dwindling (?) membership/attendance.

And seriously... $2.5 - $3million per hall?? with all volunteer labor? Seriously?

Someone plans to make a mint on this project.

WOW! What a great video about a Pedophile Case

by OnTheWayOut in

Logical, coherent, direct, compelling.

He was very, very clear about the poorly executed policies. The appeal to the elders who, the newspapers reported, refused to cooperate with the police during a pedophile investigation.

Misapplication of scriptures. Injustice done on a child.

Think very carefully before becoming an elder.

Who is the man speaking in this video?

Re-Reading some of this very old post and wishing/hoping the recordings can be re-posted as the links all seem to be dead.

Reading some of the comments from 7years ago, I stumbled on this quip and it made me laugh out loud:

JWD Poster: HOw did you do the picture SOL? Open camera or hidden?

SickOfLies: I pulled the camera outta my pocket and took their picture.

Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

AudeSapere

Oh, and 'favorite' apostate...? That would be multiple people. Simon, Dave Malone (Seven006), Blondie, RandyWaters, Farkel. Ray Franz, too.

There's obviously others, but those were the most influential when I first found this site and started sorting things out for myself.

For me, it was the WTS itself. I was sitting in a meeting and all of a sudden it was so clear that they had indeed strayed from the 'truth'. I could not in good conscience sit there and say nothing - so I up and left. Well... I walked out of the Hall. A walk-away believer. Waited 13 years for them to change their ways and make their way back to Jehovah.

I found JWN and stopped waiting for them. It was *never* going to happen. They would never be 'the truth' ever again. They never were 'the truth'.

Type and Antitype

by wisdomfrombelow in

i was looking for july 15th watchtower article today to use the words type and antitype but they didn't.

i wonder when they stopped using those phrases as it seems to be a few years.

who was the person who liked to use that word like the person who loved to use antediluvian?

AudeSapere

Types and Anti-types. Typical and Anti-Typical. Wow! That's a blast from a very twisted past.

My guess is Fred Franz. But it's just a guess.

Forum updates

by Simon in

the rss feed should (may?

) be working again and hopefully performance should be a little faster now as well.. as always, please let me know if you have any issues or notice anything not working quite right..

I was trying to post a new topic to the Apostafest/Meet-Up section. Did not see it register so posted again. I see my thread in the 'ActiveTopics' section and on the front 'Home' screen, but not when I click to look at just the 'Apostafest/Meet-Up topics. The topics display only shows those which were created 12 and 13 years ago.
