  is this happening anywhere else?

  i'm in southern california and the jw's are sitting outside target at least twice a week with a table set up.

  okay, when i was pioneering, this was a big no-no.

  This is very common in NYC. I know for a fact that around the Brooklyn Heights area and other surroundings I've seen the dubs with table full of Watchtower literature and I mean just like a news stand. I don't quite remember if this method was allow years ago but it does seem that it may be a desperate move to place as many literature as possible. Maybe this approach is a good way of putting more hours just by sitting and allowing the public see and served themselves with literature.

  My take on this is that very soon all dubs will may have to implement this new method of witnessing. Right now, door to door solicitation in many of private dweeling as well as city own in my area is been banned. They are not allowing any groups of people to enter a building without first describing their intent. If it is for soliciting they are not allow in.

  just my 2 cents

  Metraton,

  Years ago on the old H20 board I mentioned that suicides amongs JW will be common. I'm glad that you brought this up again. This is indeed a huge probblem the WTS is facing. I just hope I can continue to prepare my mother so she doesn't become a victim. Thanks for your post.

  BQE,

  I think you meant TELEMUNDO or channel 47. Yes indeed the WTS is showing commercial just like the mormons. I wonder why?

  Caballo sentado,

  Hola amigo,

  Fuie Anciano por mucho timepo, Servi de superintendente presidente, al igual que tuve bastante porcion en asambleas grandes en NY. Fui expulsado por apostacia. Obviamente por no estar de acuerdo con las ensenanzas de la sociedad. No me sorprenderia si tu situacion se tornara en una investigacion exaustiva. Puede estar seguro que esto llegara a los oidos del superintendente de circuito y el de inmediato empezara una investigacion. En mi caso te puedo decir que todo empezo de una manera similar. Aquellos que yo confiaba y que nunca me darian la espalda me traicionaron. Estoy fuera de de la organizacion gracias a Dios. Ya no tengo nada que ver la organizacion. Lamentablemente tu estas en una situacion un poco dificil. Vigila tu espalda. Espero que esos a quien tu les ha confiado este asunto de las naciones unidas no sean agentes mismos de las sociedad y esten pretendiendo ser tus amigos. Es mi opinion y solo relato lo de mi propia experiencia.

  Se discreto mi amigo y ten cuidado con quien tu has tratado este tema. Me puedes dejar un email si quieres. Buena suerte en esto.

  Watchtower retirement program!

  by buffalosrfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know a brother and his wife, she was a pioneer for many years, and he rather than returning home stayed because "we need you j..." well the congregation may have needed him, another zombie is always useful.

  but when i think about how they have to live thier life now, the watchtower retirement for loyal dubs, is welfare, and social security.

  it makes me sick they have no children and no means to really get along they are dependent of the government they hope to see exterminated at armageddon.

  Buffalo,

  It's sad indeed that they have to live on social security and Goverment assistance to maintatin a decent life style. I remember as an Elder that right after I find out about the WTS loopholes specially the generation fiasco, I started to open individual Retirement Account, CD, life insurance for myself and my wife. I encourage others in the congregation to the same even thu few thought it was lack of faith. But I manage to put the situation in a more spiritual atmosphere. I'm happy that it worked. I did it very discretly. Few of them did in fact had retirement savings and life insurance. I felt good that I was able to help a few of them. We personally saved money for future emergency and also bought our own apartment. The WTS did not stop us from securing our own future. Some of the loyal jdub did critized us behind our back for being to materialistic.

  Obviously, this was amongs other allegations the reason why I was disfellowshiped. Promoting a sect. Give me a break!! It's sad indeed that they have to listen to a bunch of low life, charlatan with their idiotics ideas.
