  Is it kind of funny that JWs don't give Jesus resurrection day any notice?

  by Comatose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you think about it, for a die hard christian the day jesus was supposed to be resurrected and back in heaven, thereby fulfilling his earthly mission, is a very big day.

  all the jws i know never even thought about it.

  in fact if i had mentioned it, i bet they would have looked me at strangely.

  I think you do need to at least think about it, or at least, the daily text should say something about it, but I doubt that's the case.

  2. experiences

  i'm considering resigning as an elder.

  i'm not planning to fade or stop as one of jehovah's witnesses, just stop serving as an elder.. i have responsibility in the congregation and in circuit, district, rbc, etc.

  and i'm completely exhausted.

  The genius of the new donation arrangement

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ive given this new arrangement a lot of detailed thought and how greatly it benefits the wt and how much it puts a strain on each congregation.. first, let me explain how the old arrangement worked.. you had 3 donation boxes in each kingdom hall.

  one for worldwide work, one for kingdom hall construction and one for congregation contributions.. the congregation contribution box accounted for about 60-75% of all donations.

  the world wide work box probably accounted for 20-30% and the kingdom hall construction for about 5% of the contributions.

  Excellent.

  The only benefit I see that the Congregation gets is an updated hall every 10 years or so without a loan payment.

  I would say that the congo have to "get in line" with other congregations and wait more that that to update their KH first, if they are using WT's construction program. Most of the times there are more congos in need of repair than others.

  after the big a comes, they will have alot of work to do.

  i think they would be shocked and disappointed.

  according to the scriptures that at the end of 1000 year reign, alot of people will fail the test.

  last year i decided to attend the memorial.

  If he is seated in a row with others and proceeds to partake of the emblems. Such a one is not counted, in any case, as a partaker.

  So, they and only they have the only word of who can partake and is going to heaven...I guess is their religion and their rules. Weird.

  REMEMBER THOSE IN NURSING HOMES

  by The Searcher in

  when i saw this article's title in the latest kingdom ministry - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/278822/1/june-2014-kingdom-ministry-km-06-2014-pdf - i was delighted!!.

  i thought, "at last, we are all being encouraged to visit our poor brothers & sisters in nursing homes, who feel abandoned!.

  nope, that's not it - it's all about targetting non-witnesses in those establishments, and get them to sign up for "bible" studies.

  I would like to compare the works of other religions in nursing homes againts the Jws. I bet the Jw are only books! tracts! study! and other religions are more humane.
