  one of the gb members visited bucharest and gave a speech in front of many thousands of jw from all across romania somewhere in 2008, i think.

  does anyone know what was his name?.

  Nothing for 2008! 20 years earlier there was a bit of a flurry of activity though!

  Beginning in the mid-1970’s, Gerrit Lösch, Branch Committee member at the Austria branch but now a member of the Governing Body, visited Romania on a number of occasions. In 1988, Governing Body representatives Theodore Jaracz and Milton Henschel went there twice, taking along Brother Lösch and interpreter Jon Brenca, then a member of the United States Bethel family. After these encouraging visits, thousands of brothers who had kept themselves separate from the main body of Jehovah’s people confidently rejoined the fold.

  What does God need with a Starship or with the F&DS?

  by moshe in

  it's funny how asking a simple question brings down a religious house of cards- just why does god need the f&ds, the gb, or even any puny humans to accomplish his will?

  jws refuse to ask a simple question, like, where can i find just one genuine member of the f&ds?

  they know that asking questions of the wt religion means retribution from the stooge elders who mete out their official punishment to doubters of the gb.

  How many F&DS references are in the WT CD? 10,000 maybe?

  Actually 1640

  Here in the UK - a £3 fee charged for going to JW assembly hall

  by James_Slash in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i cannot speak for other countries, but it has become evident of late that more and more talks are being done by presiding overseers at kh's (especially in the west midlands) and they are making it quite clear that they are expecting 3 from every publisher (per day) who visit the dudley assembly hall, west midlands to contribute towards the upkeep of it.. the quote from the po's who have done this talk have said that "it is expected that each publisher will put 3 into the box on each day".. what do you think of that then?

  as the world hits an economic breakdown the jw's seem to maximising their income from struggling families.. dudley assembly hall holds about 600-700 people.

  i'm sure people are capable of doing the maths.. so much for voluntary contributions !!

  Definitely what publishers get out of the assemblies in information, spiritual comforting, Biblical knowledge and comradery with fellow JWs is plenty and priceless.

  You are joking!

  God/Jehovah (if he/she/it exists) has NO need for the GB, the F&DS or the JW's whatsoever

  The Elders in my wifes congregation are NOT capable/able to give an honest answer to anything!

  A simple question about the F&DS will receive no answer at all, just a load of lies!

  You need help!

  The spirits will come with this woman to your party and probably take over.

  Just don't allow her to come to the party or her children.

  Seek urgent help from the local congregation of JW's; they will help you see the error of your ways.

  It's Really Just a Social Club

  by Eiben Scrood in

  2. friends

  at least for many..... i remember looking around at meetings and so many in the audience seemed to be in another world.

  people would get up and talk at the back shamelessly.

  meetings were a good opportunity to make plans with friends.

  Interesting timing, this is from last Sunday's meeting:

  THE WATCHTOWER SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 page 14, paragraph 9.

  "...The Christian congregation was founded, not to function as a social club, but to honor Jehovah and to get a job done—the work of preaching the good news, making disciples, and building up the congregation..."

  Where in the Bible does it say God is omniscient?

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't care about scriptures that say god is "all knowing" or "know all my hairs on my head" cause that could all be done without being omniscient.

  are there any bible verse's that speak specifically of god's omniscience?.

  It doesn't; and God is NOT omniscient!
