The whole Paradise Earth doctrine in the way it is taught by the WTS is so counter the belief that god is a loving god, especially the way they portray the big A in the magazines, fire, explosions and all sorts of other horrific things, the deaths of the 7B non JWs will not be merely falling asleep, they are portrayed as being terrible, I guess this is their version of hellfire, you will not be sent to a place of eternal torment, but if you don't get in line and become a jw, you will have a horrific death.

Jehovahs Witnesses Plan on Looting the Dead
by God_Delusion inhi guys and gals,.
i've written a new article on what some jehovah's witnesses plan on doing after armageddon strikes.
i am sure you've been around witnesses that have said something like "oh i'm moving into that house after armageddon.".

I would guess they could add a 'hotspot' at the KH which would only allow access to the new and improved jw website so folks can download their 'spiritual food'.
When I read about this sort of stuff it seems like the WTS is in a panic mode and is casting a large net trying to find something that will work. Spend all of your time in service, don't get a job, the end is near......but in order to get fed you will need a computer, an internet connection and potentially a tablet of some sort to be able to read the literature on, unless of course you want to print it from home, which is also quite expensive.
It appears that the circle of the wagon's is getting ever smaller, more control over a smaller group.

That video from the elders being asked the question about why the memorial is still celebrated is very interesting and eye opening!

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Time to get this back out to the local agencies and news media, just wondering how one could get a network to look at something like this, maybe The View since one of them was a witness at one time?

Thanks for the bump, the upcoming wt study along with meetings like this weeks TMS where the issue of headship is reinforced really should awaken some as to the position of the society on women....but unfortunately it will not.

Mem invitations
by AnonJW ini have heard quite a few reports of how the invitation work has not been carried out as enthusiastically as it was last year.
during the 2011 campaign, many due to the reduced hour requirement pioneered for the month, some congregations had over 50% of its members doing this.
this year it has all changed, and even though some have made an extra effort, not nearly as many as did last year.

What still amazes me about the invitation is the way it starts with the 'how do you think of Jesus' and then continues with 'let us tell you'.

"laying off" even more people
Don't you mean providing them time to full time pioneer since we are in the last days?
As the printing industry continues in the downturn, unless they continue to change the way they solicit donations from the members, it will be all about real estate (build more KHs and assembly halls, then in essence flip the properties) and reduce the costs (smaller printed magazines that can still have the same suggested donation).

For those who think THEY are in financial problems

I agree with IDRNOMO. I think they are asset rich but cash poor
another good reason to reduce the size of the monthly mags, its all about cash flow when running a business (printing company). Ink suppliers, paper manufacturers, gas stations and maintenance folks for the printing presses all want to be paid. Yes there are costs associated with a server farm, but much less than the printed material.
