Call me paranoid, but its possible that this 30 hour initiative is a weeding out process....a cull if you will...

we've discussed a few potential reasons why the wt is promoting april 2011 as a month of special activity.

reasons include manipulating statistics, and trying to provide some kind of spark to increasingly apathetic and discouraged congregations.

i'm sure there are others i'm missing too, feel free to include those.

It is a loving provision form Jehovah(GB).A few years ago they encouraged you to simipfy your life by selling your house quit your full time job,get a part time job.And go in the ministry full time.Why because the end was sooooooooooooooooo near.Are you not happy the the end didn't come because look 294k came into the cult.

Now why would they cut down on the hours when the harvest is great and the time left is reduced.They always refer to a harvest.When it comes to harvest time does the farmer start out working 16 hours a day(120hrs/per month/per pub) and gradually work 4 hours per day(30hrs/per month/pub)or does the farmer increase his time to complete the harvest.

Like I said J.W. are followers of the GB what they say it is a P for G.

why do they need to wear a badge to a d.c.?.

should not their love be so noticeable that an observer would know that they are true followers of christ.or is their love lacking that they need a badge to identify who they are.. b.

We need a well equipt army to defeat scum like that.I am very thankful for the brave soldiers who did just that.

Otherwise ELPIRO you and I would not have the freedom we do today.Your 100 plus years of preaching has not brought that freedom.We need to face reality that we still have dictators today and that we need the army.

ELPIRO did you know that Stalin said "Religion needed to be removed under communist society"And that the Orthodox church suffered greatly.Tens of thousands of priests,monks and nuns were persecuted and killed,over 100,000 were shot during the purge.

ELPIRO are you not happy that the USA won the cold war.Elpiro do you think they would of won the cold war W/O an army.Are you not happy for the freedom that the Russians have today.Just think even your religion can now fight them in the courts today.Do you think they could under communist rule?

Does The "Active Bethelite Sixscreens" Thread Help You Recognize The Watchtower Organization Is "Spying" On You?

by minimus in

let me state that these sensational types of threads are counter-productive, in my humble opinion.

the whole "spying" thing and the cameras and secret recordings in shower stalls and toilets is nutty!.

do these threads help you to see how the organization is wrong?.

bobld

So tell me why do they have Elders hanging out until the wee hours outside some brothers apartment or flat to see if he is screwing around.It has been noted the they would go as far a know if girl/boy are related ie bro/sis,cousins etc living in the same flat..They would know this by watching who comes and goes from that place.Oh yeah they got spys alright.They even would have someone from another cong (not to draw attention) fallow a new dunked one to see if they could fine that one living up to their rules.

The 2nd Coming has already been proved to be a mistake

by Terry in

while the whole world of christianity waits and longs for the 2nd advent of jesus because it will bring their reward.... jehovah's witness already had theirs!

they simply declared that "jesus is back!".

1914 was the date assigned.. true, jesus was invisible.. true, armageddon didn't come.. true, the world went on spinning as before.. but, 1914 was date certain and remains so.. instead, jehovah's witnesses starting treating armageddon the same way mainstream christianity treats the 2nd coming.. it's coming any minute!.
