  Mays JW TV Broadcast/Your feedback is appreciated

  by ToesUp in

  i have a pretty good intuition but i have to admit i am going back and forth on the jw tv may broadcast.

  i keep asking myself are they really in financial trouble (wishful thinking) or are they just grabbing for more money?.

  i always appreciate reading everyone's thoughts and ideas on here.. let me know what you think.

  They are crafty and realize that jwbcast is an easy way of making magabucks.There are clever people behind the scenes running the organization.They use the GB as front men to fully indoctrinate the R & F (who worship the GB).In the near future the GB will be put out to pasture.

  If you look at TV evangelists (shameless fraudsters) taking advantage of desperate people promising material physical spiritual success to believers.They claim to be reaching millions of people via social media worldwide with the gospel and producing numerous converts.So what does the watchtower do get on the same bandwagon because they can see $$$$$$.More later

  January broadcast

  the interview with brumley(in house attorney) shows the strong influence and mind control of the organization.the comments of am on higher education and not sending bethelites to law school is questionable.

  is it because they have enough lawyers or many leave after they get their degree.maybe the organization got burnt to many times.why did they send a bethelite(shane brady) to osgoode hall law school(around 2000).some may remember him in the famous pro bono bethany hugh blood transfusion case in alberta.

  as a side note:is it not their(lawyers) professional duty to present clients with all legal options?would shane defend a child molestion case vs organization?

  Using WT to advertise for skilled workers

  see january 15,2015 watchtower.on page 2 cesar and his wife rocio owned a 2200 square foot dream home.they both worked and had no children.

  in 2009 (note usa was in a financial crisis) wt-hq n.y. sent out a request for skilled workers for their branch facilities expansion in wallkill,new york.cesar and rocio simplified their life by converting their garage into a studio apartment and moving in and renting their dream home.thus they would be available on short notice for work in n.y.. their neighbor(which cesar and rocio associated with) jose and rosa(stay home mom) and their four children ages 6 month to 8 year lost his job and the bank was foreclosing on their home.you would think a true christian would have a heart and see an opportunity to help this family(1 john 3:17-19 living bible).and let them stay rent free in the dream home.. footnote; january broadcast mentioned that university educated people were not required and january watchtower 15, mentioned they require architects,engineers,etc..

  The 'Message" is spread into 700 languages...SO WHAT??? Big Deal!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you know how the org goes on and on about how the "preaching work" takes place in so many languages by the website?.

  they also trumpet the fact that witnesses are in "sooooo many lands and nations"....... so what!.

  just because the message is spread far and wide, does not mean the content of the message is correct or of value.. take the example of coca-cola or mcdonalds.... these products are in nearly every nation around the world....but does that mean they are beneficial or healthy?

  A brazen falsehood in this week's Watchtower study! (week of Feb 9 - 15, 2015)

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on page 13 of the december 15, 2014 watchtower (study edition), the first 2 sentences of paragraph 10 say:.

  "the symbolic separating of fish does not refer to the final judgment during the great tribulation.

  rather, it highlights what would happen during the last days of this wicked system.".

  More education bashing in April 2015 simplified watchtower

  by hoser in

  2. beliefs

  elders in wealthy lands may find it difficult to encourage baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to do more in the congregation.

  ex- perienced elders in about 20 lands told us why they believe that some young brothers do not do more in the congregation.

  most of them said that when some brothers were young, their parents did not encour- age them to set goals in jehovahs ser- vice.

  Read Jan 31 es15 "Higher education often produces graduates who have few or no practical skills,leaving them unprepared to deal with the realities of life" Is that why bro morris said in his b'cast that"we don't need any lawyers or doctors"I wonder how they will build the new HQ without engineers or architects because they have no practical skills.

  have you all read this weeks study article?.

  oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.

  (notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!

  Jehovah will give us lifesaving instructions (how by what means)

  "Inner rooms" (where are these) might well be connected with local congregations.

  I thought the video was great.The kind of song that makes you want to dance and sing along.They done a great job of the video.It must of took a lot of time and practice.People throughtout the world dance to the song.However,it just shows where their hearts are(in the world).Do you think they would show the same enthusiasm and happiness if they used a "sing to Jehovah song.I think not more like pig in shit video.

  JW are naive

  by bobld in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one dictionary defines naive as;generally speaking,to be naive means you do not think enough.people who are "naive" tend to beleive in whatever they are told,without questioning whether it is right or wrong.i think this defines jw because they accept whatever the group of 7 tells them.ex.the several definations of a generation.or the end is near see wt 2000 etc.. these people are naive,because they believe that people like himmler regret sending all jews to the gas chamber( quote from internet).

  One caveat not all Jw are naive.There are many who are intellegent and stay in just waiting for the right time to escape.
