  Watchtower Content Producers Tardy With their Monthly Broadcast. WHY?

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how hard is it to produce a monthly program and get it up on time?

  they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?

  are they understaffed?

  speaking of broadcast.On one broadcast K.Flodin said you be the judge does god have a hand in our construction projects?They needed an equipment console for the control room.A large piece of equipment made to order and NOT stocked anywhere for their jw broadcasting studio.A few weeks before the completion date of the studio the brothers went to a company to get this equipment.Miraculously the company had built one for a company in S.A. that was ready to be shipped and was on a dock in N.Y. however the company went bankrupt and the brother could have this equipment for 60% of full price because that company had paid 40%. What the biggest construction company(jw) in the world and no RFP,specs,price,time of delivery.Shame.

  The other broadcast by K.F.talks about this generation.He makes three assumptions what a generation was. Is god's hand in their understanding of the bible.You be the judge.

  Kudos to Those in Military Service or Happy Belated Veterans Day

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in recent years i have come to value our military more and more as time goes by.

  as a jw, i was trained to view those in military service as murderers; or misguided fools.

  they are true heroes that help bring order to society.

  JW do not have the correct pov on this matter.See Nov wt on god's pov on war.

  If god personally waged war against nations because they were wicked and oppressive.Should not war be used today against nations that are wicked and oppressive,ie Nazi Germany.

  P8 illustration of two siblings they forgot their names Cain,Abel and father Jehovah.

  Do not give me the bs about J.C.If you don't need solders than you don't need police.Delete the New York city police force and see the wonderful peace and security in the big apple.

  It might be crazy what I'm about to say

  Clap along if you feel like the local JW deserve it

  Because I'm happy

  That they think the GB are god and do everything they say even if it doesn't make sense.

  Clap along if you feel that a local JW should donate more to the fools

  Because I'm happy that they are so stupid.

  Will they ever learn ahahahah.

  Mid - Week Meeting This Week

  millie210 posted this on another thread - i thought it deserved it's own op:.

  i took an elderly friend to the meeting last night.

  the study is in the "imitate their faith" book which is merely a compilation of previous short stories about bible characters that were featured in a series of watchtower articles.. they waste no time beginning their spinning and supposition with the cain/abel story.

  Par 10-12 Adam likely trained them in work that was necessary to provide for the family.Cain tookup farming.Abel took up shepherding.By the comments on this book and the bible,jw are dumber than a box of rocks.The publishers dumber than owl shit.

  How did sheep provide food for Abel when god did not allow man to eat meat until after the flood.(maybe he ate sheep shit) see gen ch 9.Why blame Cain for his offering when god cursed the ground with thorns and thistle.(no roundup)God didn't curse the animals so Abel had a fat sheep for the sob.

  Why do people kill each other?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do there have to be wars?

  why is there so much hatred?.

  the collective answer i came up with is natalisam, or maybe the correct word should be politics?

  Rebel-"organisation that claims to be no part of all of this was appealing" Really!

  People are controlled and manipulated by a leader or small group of people.

  -Hilter and a small group discussed in detail of a plan to exterminate the jews.

  _Theonneste Bagosora planned and orgainized Rwanda genocide.

  _The Armenian genocide was planned by members of an elite potitical core(Enver Pasha).

  -The seven men in N.Y. control 8 million members.

  Notice it is a small group that,contorls,plans,organizes,persuades,uses propaganda that their members must completely obey their leaders and carry out their orders without question.Such as refusing blood causing death,familty breakup and suicide by shunning.That org is no different.

  Now if only the members would.......

  Today's watchtower: obey us, no matter what

  by Tornintwo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower:.

  obey us, obey us even when it seems strange, obeying our man made hierarchy equates to obeying god, sacrifice your own interests, work for us, don't be independent, put your own interests aside, obey some more, preach for us, build for us, enjoy it, obey some more, forgive when we are jerks to you and mistreat you, accept your changed assignment even if it seems cruel and doesn't make sense, don't complain if we move you (eg.

  ) because you might have to move in the new world, remember you are being trained to obey, remember to put your own interests aside, that's the way we are designed to live - it will only make you happy!
