  JW splinter groups..

  by fb130 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just wondering.

  has the idea ever been brought up of a group breaking away from wts & forming some sort of reformed jw church that isn't so controlling.

  like lurther & the catholic church.

  george couch, a longtime fixture as the big wig of home overseers at brooklyn bethel, died friday.

  THE WTS: CRASH OR SLOWLY FADE AWAY?

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just reading the thread about barbara anderson and perhaps some big news she will publish about the wts.

  i agree with those who say that anything barbara has scandalous about the early history of the witnesses, ie: russel or rutherford times, will have zero impact.

  that whole era is pretty much dismissed by all witnesses i know.

  Becoming officially recognized as Annointed

  by B_Deserter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've heard there is a very secretive process the wts uses to determine whether or not they'll consider someone "of the annointed.

  " from what i've heard it's a very rigorous set of questions.

  can anyone here confirm this?

  August KM provides solid evidence of declining JW morale

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you may or may not recall, the february '07 km (for the us) had a huge article, taking up the full 4 page insert, on the "blessings" of auxiliary pioneering.

  the part covering that insert took up the entire service meeting (aside form the announcements).

  the "encouragement" was that the us branch had set a goal of 160,000 auxiliary pioneers for the month of april ("if only one of every 6 publishers signs up, we can make it!")..

  Does Anyone Know Any of the Newer GB Members? Please share your stories.

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read some threads here that suggest that anyone thinking big changes are coming to the watchtower due to all of the new gb appointments is fooling themselves.

  its been said that ted jaracz has been heavily involved in selecting new gb members and wants to ensure that they all share his hard-line vision for the religion.

  i must admit that i thought there would be big changes by now since six of the nine gb members were appointed within the last eight years.

  The 2006 "updated" Rev Climax book still "denounces" the UN as the beast.

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recently given a copy of the 2006 revelation climax book by a jw's pioneer woman that i see all the time in front of the bus stop.

  we talked for a while and she just handed me a billion books and mags.

  i brought up the un scandal to her and she right away went into defense mode.

  Do you know how strong you all are?

  by jgnat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.

  that you all found your way here is amazing.

  you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.
