#Persecution selfies: what do you think?

by Diogenesister in

so apparently the new watchtower russia exhibition features a pretend cell for jws to take pretend "persecution selfies' and wallow in the glorious suffering that is essential for watchtower theology to work - yet is strikingly missing from the lives of 99% of witnesses.. in fact most governments go to great lengths to protect the rights of witnesses, spending millions in public funds either directly to watchtower - in the form of grants ( norway, germany etc) - in various types of tax relief, or in the money spent in court cases establishing watchtowers rights and freedoms (& protecting their kids, whether they know it or not).. i'm interested to know how everyone feels about this...particularly terry walstrom and other guys who have spent time in jail in the name of watchtower's freedom of conscience.

personally i think it reeks of desperation by watchtower and is another example of the type of fantasizing that witnesses regularly indulge in.. also....funny how the end is soooo close that they've had time to build a museum of watchtower history!!

anyone else see the irony in that?!

Stupid politics wasting money.

What happens if I watch a movie with that word on it on my couch in Mass, with the police come and arrest me? And if I listen to it on my car? Such stupidity...

KHConf - I had no idea how big it has become!

by sir82 in

jw
friends

if you are a jw in the us or canada, you probably already know about "khconf".

it is a business that has been set up (presumably by some jws somewhere) that supplies call-in numbers and teleconferencing for shut-ins to listen to kingdom hall meetings.. they have their own website: www.khconf.com.. .

what i didn't know is how much they've spread!

This is the new direction that road to nowhere is talking about:

Congregation Conferencing Services: The branch office is taking steps to standardize the electronic services used to deliver spiritual programs to congregations and publishers. Beginning November 1, 2019, the integrated audio and video-streaming and digital telephone answering services known as KHCONF (currently used by congregations in the U.S. branch territory) will be provided directly by the branch office. This does not affect the video-streaming service that sign-language congregations currently use. Further details will be provided regarding how congregations can show their appreciation for this arrangement.

 Congregations who desire conferencing services are encouraged to utilize KHCONF. These consolidated arrangements will result in significant savings for congregations and the organization. Please submit any questions, technical support requests, and new service requests to KHCONF.US@bethel.jw.org using jw.borg e-mail.

 To the extent possible, publishers benefitting from this provision should be encouraged to connect to meetings using the KHCONF app on their computer or mobile device. It may be necessary to assist publishers in using the app. Such efforts will result in additional savings for the organization.

 Congregations who currently subscribe to KHCONF will continue to use the same connection information. In order to ensure a smooth transition, please confirm that any KHCONF invoices received before November 1, 2019, are paid.

Looks like they got bought by the Borg. Note the "Further details will be provided regarding how congregations can show their appreciation for this arrangement." (Wink wink)

What Is Trump Doing with China now and his supporters that smell like a Walmart?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

isn't trump shooting himself in the foot when he is on the verge of (or already in) a trade war with china?

isn't walmart like 95% chinese stuff?.

won't there be a backlash when many of his supporters that want to upgrade to indoor plumbing see how much it costs with all the tariffs?

That's right Simon. If the left were so committed to the environment like they present to be, they should be backing for a manufacturing come back and away from China the polluter.

Would You Stop Buying A Product Because of Political Differences?

by minimus in

jw

would you stop buying nike products because you didn’t like their politics?

conversely, would you give business to a company because you liked their political stand on a matter?

would you stop watching an entertainer because you disagree with their political perspectives?

What is the political alignment of your favorite toilet paper maker?

What is the political alignment of your gas station?

What is the political alignment of the person ringing you up at the supermarket?

What is the political alignment of your father's nurse?

What is the political alignment of your private insurance?

is a slippery slope. Not everything is politics.

Faithful and Prudent slave? read somewhere that the discreet was going to change to Prudent.

by goingthruthemotions in

read on one of the forums, and maybe this one that the gb are going to start calling themselves the faithful and prudent slave.

my pimi brainwashed wife wouldn't bat an eyelash if they started calling themselves this.

to her it would be new light and they could do nothing wrong.. but, how the not so brainwashed flock take this change?

pixel

This is legit. In the 2019 Elder's Schools the instructors are teaching that the new light is to call them The Faithful and Prudent slave.

OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders

by Listener in

there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.

what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.

since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

This is an article to prepare the followers into what inevitable is going to happen:

There are not many GB members that can claim that they belong to the second first overlap generation. I think someone said recently here that the new appointed (Or was it Sanders) is not even part of this first one.

So, inevitably, they will run out of anointed to fill the spots to belong to the GB class. This article clear the linage to bring in non-anointed to be the leaders, (supposedly, not the GB, but in reality they will be).

This article right here, is changing the structure of the organization. Soon, the leaders won't have to be annointed to be part of the GB at all. And the followers will swallow it just like that.
