  Give a brief description of what is the Watchtower Society and the JWS organization

  by The Almighty Homer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you were to give a brief description of what you know already of this organization, how would you define it yourself ?.

  .

  my definition would be a an exploitive and manipulating free wheeling religious publishing company.. i might add none of this would have been at all possible without the freedom of religion policy of the united states.. it very well started out that way and continues to this very day.. intellectually dishonest but very commercial in its intension.. .

  HOMER

  The Watchtower Society is a made- up religion by a man that had to much time on his hands. He took a little religion from here and a little from there and added some screwy ideas of his own. He wanted it to stand out. Most of his followers were tired of their own religion. This one stood out.

  Then,you get screwball Judge Rutherford who takes this religion and turns it into a tax free business. Send out all the workers to sell and peddle preach your own written books and magazines. ADVERTISE! ADVERSTISE!

  Now it becomes a book publishing business. Tell the members that blood is on their hands if you don't sell and peddle preach the good news!

  Have a book study(where you buy a book) and a Ministry School (where you teach each one how to sell these books.) Print a Watchtower Magazine( and sell to every member and public.) Make them hand in a time report to see which ones obey the command to sell the literature.

  in a time before many of you were born... assemblys had a great food... i left before the food started getting bad... .

  i am totally amazed at reading... how food at assemblys got worse and worse... until finally food was`nt served at all... .

  back in the day... food at assemblys was pretty dam good... there was quality cooking back then... jehovah`s witness`s actually looked forward to meals at assemblys... .

  I remember Assembly's at Brantford,Ontario where we would have pasta,subs,salad,cookies,cakes,and hot coffee. They took that away because the town of Brantford made them pull permits for sanitation,food prep,and taxes. They had a meeting after and decided that it wasn't worth it. Then they tried serving coffee and sweets only but they had to pull a permit for the coffee to make sure it was the right temperature.

  What are the means the WTS use to ensure that the organisation never crumbles?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wts are a group of men in new york who have built an organisation that probably will never crumble.

  their success comes from not debating anyone,becoming unapproachable,and answering to no one.

  they use lawyers,elders,circuit overseers,and district overseers as a front to distract and distance everyone.. how can we or anyone fight an organisation that you cannot see or talk to?.

  When will they realise that the bus isn't coming?

  i was still a kid and living at home at the time, and so that must have been well over 30 years ago, that i heard ron drage (now a senior member of the uk bethel) say "if you are waiting at the bus stop it, is better to be 10 minutes early rather than miss it".

  what he was referring to of course was the then then 1975 issue; in other words armageddon has arrived yet but it just round the corner and we are a little early for it.. i don't know what brought this to my mind the other day but i got to thinking, surely if you are waiting for a bus and you get there 10 minutes early and it doesn't then turn up, how long do you wait?

  10 minutes, 15 minutes, half an hour, an hour, two hours?

  There never was a bus. This bus is always around the corner which no one can see. The WTS own this bus and this bus is the only way can can make it to the ''NEW SYSTEM''. Too bad for anyone who walks when he/she is tired of waiting. The WTS is repairing,cleaning,detailing,and fueling this bus for future passengers.

  while i was working outside on a customer's house,a witness handed me a tract inviting me to this summer's assembly.

  he handed me the invite,told me what a nice job i was doing and left.. i read that the summer convention was about 65 miles from where i live.

  when i was a witness driving 65 miles would of been no problem.

  I read that the summer convention was about 65 miles from where I live. When I was a Witness driving 65 miles would of been no problem. But,handing out invites to non-believers and expecting them to drive 65 miles away attend is insane. I can't imagine anyone that is not a Witness going.When I attended the summer conventions,they were all local.

  Does anyone know why they would choose a location so far when local locations are available? Can renting local facilities cost that much? Or,are contributions so down that renting facilities further away save the WTS money?

  How many Witness families do you know that still shun their children?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my congregation had many teens that were disfellowshipped.

  none of them have been back to the meetings.

  they either got married or moved out of their parents home.. it saddens me that i haven't seen any of them at any family functions.

  It saddens me that I haven't seen any of them at any family functions. Just because they decided that they will never be a member of the WTS doesn't give the parents or family the right to shun them the rest of their lives. (My cousin hasn't been invited to any of our family functions in over 10 years)

  Shame on you parents and family to treat your children this way! (That's one rule I never agreed with.)

  WTS........When is the right time to stop shunning them?

  Tell the ''Governing Body'' one thing that you've always wanted them to know!

  the only reason you have total control over all of your members is your false ''faithful and discreet slave'' scripture.

  this scripture was applied only for your benefit.

  without this scripture your whole religion would fall..

  I went to Sunday's talk and Watchtower meeting. Sorry to report..............Nothing has changed!

  I walked in and as usual Elders are talking with fellow Elders. Busy with their book bags and papers. ( Why are they so busy?)

  The singing was out of tune as usual.( How old are these song books?)

  The Sunday talk: Is the Bible the word of God? ( Sometimes I wonder!)

  Boring talk....monotone speaker....how many times have I heard this talk? Who writes this stuff?

  Watchtower Study.....parrot answers...read right off the magazine.

  Concluding prayer....thank Jehovah for the spiritual food from the ''faithful and discreet slave''.

  SEE.....YOU HAVEN'T MISSED MUCH!
