  The Accounts Report or lack of one

  by OnTheWayOut in

  i am pretty sure it's still the same since i stopped attending almost 10 years ago, but this is something to think about:.

  at the kingdom hall, there's an accounts report.

  they say they gathered in an exact amount of money for both local expenses and worldwide work and that it exactly went to these exact expenses and this amount was sent to watchtower.

  So the parking was actually free but the Watchtower was charging the brothers and sisters a fee to use it?
  
  That's such a blatant scam! Jesus words: "You received free, give free" obviously don't seem to mean a thing to the Watchtower.

  boy who was seriously injured in a collision at gamlingay in cambridgeshire last thursday has died.. nine-year-old archie stevens, of western way, sandy, bedfordshire, died in hospital early on saturday afternoon.. the collision at about 10am in drove road, which involved two cars, also resulted in the death of his grandfather, 68-year-old martin harker, of green acres, sandy, who died at the scene.http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/update/2016-02-22/nine-year-old-boy-dies-after-cambridgeshire-crash/.

  the boy and his grandfather were jehovahs witnesses and they were on field service when a car drove into them.

  the lad, who is the son of an elder who moved to a cambridge congregation to serve where the need is greater, was on life support before the sad decision was made to turn it off.

  Yes it's a tragedy. As we all know shit happens! (and it isn't nice, nor does it discriminate when it does...)

  As an aside: I do find it hypocritical how when something good happens, religious people attribute it as a blessing from God; but when something bad like this happens God is not concerned (fault of imperfect humans, devil, etc.)

  This piqued my interest. Looks like they've made a mistake. It should be Capo on Fret 1.

  Do JW's still go door-to-door?

  by Dark Knight in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the rise of the new literature cart method of preaching, i'm curious as to how the traditional jw preaching work is organized.

  the other reason i ask this is that i hardly see jw's door-knocking anymore.are they still going door-to-door and tracking how regularly their territory is covered?

  are they still using territory maps and keeping track of do-not-calls, ethnic/deaf houses etc?i'm also curious as to how the literature cart ministry is organized.

  I'm also curious as to how the literature cart ministry is organized. Does each congregation own a fleet of carts and have publishers scheduled for certain locations within the territory?

  Anyone who can shed light on how the JW preaching work is organized nowadays would be greatly appreciated.

  Cheers

  Did anyone pick up on the similarities to the Jurassic Park theme (mainly the trumpet riff at the start of the chorus?)

  besides the about 48 hours you worked there a week, you would have other duties too.

  there was dish duties.

  then you had the night watchmen duties.........once every 2-3 years in the home, you pulled an all night watchman duty.

  Blondie, Thanks for the watchtower publication quotes.

  The debates I had regarding literal pain being done away with were just with a couple of JW's I had encountered, who were old-timers. I guess their views didn't reflect the org's and majority of JW's in general.

  It's funny how JW's think that there won't be any physical pain in the new system. Just shows how deluded they really are. They just don't get that the ability to feel pain is an important part of keeping ourselves alive by helping avoid any serious damage to our bodies.
