  So the opening says, "as previously announced." Does anybody know when/where this previous announcement was made?

  Praise For Witnesses On Welfare Who Full Time Pioneer!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower has always praised witnesses who are on welfare and decided to pioneer.

  many in my congregation, including my mom, were given kudos, praise and assembly parts because they took advantage of jehovah's provision through the government....did you notice this, or was it obvious to me because i was raised in the inner city and many people recieved government help?.

  They follow their leaders who take a vow of poverty and ask the working faithful to fund what they themselves are not willing to work for.

  If END is Imminent, Why Witness in Silence in Public Places?

  by ProfCNJ in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we were taught for 100 years that the end or armageddon is imminent, as if it is coming in a hurry.

  but look now at the new way of sharing god's kingdom in uk which i find as a complete irony.

  "thousands have switched tactics to stand on street corners in more than a dozen cities across britain - and unusually for public preachers, they are staying almost completely silent... unlike other evangelical preachers, they do not shout or call attention to themselves - instead standing in near-silence until someone approaches them."http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2691254/how-jehovahs-witnesses-got-street-smart-believers-swap-infamous-doorstepping-standing-outside-train-stations-shops.html.

  lol designs.

  It's what ADCMS said.

  There is a mild attempt to address the dilemma in the October WT in the article containing a suggested response to the 1914 issue in a conversation format.

  Smoke and mirrors. Keep the RBC and jw.org in the face of the faithful to make them thing the WTBS is somehow relevant today.

  'Jehovah's Kingdom' convention banner

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  making the rounds on facebook is a snapshot of some jws holding a huge banner from the upper deck at a convention.

  it says, "jehovah's kingdom" and underneath a crudely drawn download 'bar' with the number 99% on the right side, as if to say in computer lingo, jah's day is almost here.

  behind are other dubs holding up smaller placards, but i can't remember what they said.. is this a wt sanctioned or approved action?
