  "The 'God's channel' can be seen in deeds, as much of more so than in words, and most here fail to appreciate the deeds, or even think that they are evil. It is seen in the representative fact of the 900 languages, nobody else having more than five, and thus taking Christ's commission to preach good news not very seriously, if at all. When you take your car to the mechanic, do you go to the garage that has equipped itself with every modern tool? Or do you go to the one content to operate with duct tape, vice-grips, and WD-40?

  I suspect you will go to the first one, and you may not even think to check with the BBB for former complaints. This is perhaps unwise, for there are some there. But even that is not a deal-breaker. It is just something you possibly could have checked out before, and perhaps did in the year you had noticing that your car needed maintenence and getting to know and study with the guys at the shop. There, the seven Garage Owners made themselves known from the start - they did hide behind the stack of tires, only to spring out when you dropped your car off.

  Someone here said that the money 'always went to Bethel.' Of course it always went to Bethel. What - does he imagine it was fired with a cannon into heaven? The point is, not that they recieved money, but what did they do with it. Generally speaking, most Witneses will agree that they have put it to excellent use, building an infrastructure to support the spreading of the Bible's message that is unrivaled."

  Hi Tom, in reply to your previous statement that the WTBTS are the most prevalent Bible based translators with 900 languages in the world I present you with the United Bible Society and their world wide work. We are taking actual Bibles here or at the very least many books of the Bible, not tracts or magazines. Many others are sharing in this Christian endeavour as is the Tyndale Bible and may other groups. So please check your facts before you say others have at most five ( 5 ) I'm surprised you actually wrote that considering your evident research and writing skills. ( 542 languages and counting )
  

  In my opinion the Org has a couple things right and a couple things wrong as do may others. Didn't Paul say to keep on putting up with one another in love ? I take this as applying to different Christian sects in getting along and working with each other in brotherly love praising the Lord and making the Christ and his Kingdom known.
  

  Actually the JW manner of constant bragging, boasting and self elevation to the exclusion of other Christian faiths, be them Trinitarian or not is selfish, childish, shameful, evil and of this world.

  However I do think you're right in saying that God permits JW to exist BUT all the same as he does with the other groups / religions / sects. I just do not see how JW can be THE narrow door. Many adherents of other faiths are honest hearted and sincerely doing their best to live a Godly life full of good works and love, some surely not. Who are you and I or the GB to judge ?

  As for the money going to Bethel you are aware of the 4K a day ongoing fine from ther San Diego Calif. court with the withholding of 21,000+ known recorded JW paedophiles ? Arw you aware of Geritt Losch's refusal to show up in court, costing the org 13M+ of contribution money. Scandalous !

  Here's one that hit close to home. I know this family personally and have been in service with the younger brother of the sister that was abused. Her old pervert piano teacher would sit down with her side by side and stick it out in while he gave her lessons. My guess is he got off on it the bastard. He was reinstated 2 years later and still goes door to door, isnt that just grand ?

  I'd appreciate a reply on this matter Tom.

  Hi Tom Harley ! How are you ? Hey you're the famous TomSheepsansandgoats.com !!!!

  Nice to have you here buddy !! http://www.tomsheepandgoats.com/

  Anyhow your blogs hepled me get my bearings straight when I finally started looking deeper into the WTBTS. You are one of many that helped me wake up to the truth about the truth ! The final straw was reading Keith Casarona's Newboy series on his stay at bethel NY in the sevenities. It all fell apart after that and I now go to the Father through Christ. I read and study the Bible almost daily and will be doping the memorial over the weekend quietly at home with my cat.

  You have a a gift as a writer I do hope you updates your blog eventually.

  You seems well balanced I remember you writing about going to a few punk rock concerts with your son and enjoying yourself, pretty cool as a dad !

  I think you are in New Englad if I recall correctly so if ever you are in Montreal and want to go mountain biking or even dirt biking shoot me a PM I have some spare rides.

  Disclaimer : I'm proudly DA'ed and have little use for the WTBTS of PA. Inc. The best organisation is no organisation.

  Tip : I recognised you through the use of the word "grouser" . In reality that is a Snocat tread part used on the tracks to attach the rubber bands together, usually a steel plate.

  Take care !

  Jehovah's Witnesses Knocking at my Front Door

  by Richlist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have jw's knocking on my door about 4 times a year.

  they walk along the whole street knocking on all the properties trying to hand out leaflets about god.. i always engage them in conversation.

  my street has a very large number of oap's who could really do with some extra help.....grass cutting, shopping, cleaning, help around the house, gardening, diy etc.. never once have i been able to persuade any jw's to do something worthwhile for these residents.. i'm left with the thought that jw's don't want to do anything really worthwhile for these people.......why ?.

  Stick with the new job is there is room to move up you'll get same money within no time if things are as you say. Plus the added experience and set-up / design / programming know how will pay off for you in satisfaction and self confidence. Are you running swiss machines / screw machines or high speed cnc small parts turning machines ? At middle age we need challenges like this to keep us moving forward. We just bought our first turning center 2 years ago, Mazak QT8N with T+ love it.

  Love how being out of 'the truth' enables me to focus on my shop and personal growth. Fellow JW's would look at any and every opportunity to belittle me on my 'secular' career and tell me you work to life not live to work. Yeah right..

  Depends where I'm at and who it is but if any come to my door ( which I doubt as I'm DA'ed ) I look forward to getting right to the point and asking them awkward questions such as how many field service hours they have so far this month and how do they feel about having to report them to the WTBTS of PA Inc. Then to please show me in the Bible where it says why they have to. Hopefully this will lead or the subject matter of organization and a governing body where I can then show them a talk given by F. Franz given at a 1975 Gilead graduation disproving even the concept of one. All done with a smile and a handshake hehe.

  Observations from an Ex-Elder Part 1

  by doubtfull1799 in

  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about the fog model this morning, particularly about the "obligation" part.

  my mind went back to the last elders school i went to.

  one of the parts in the section on appointments was discussing how we should not place too high a bar (human standards) for brothers to try and jump over when we are considering them for appointment as a ministerial servant.
