We here in Australia know only too well the destruction and loss of life that happens in Bushfires ,my thoughts and well wishes go out to people living in proximity to these fires and hope all come through safe and sound.

Today the two elders did not appear to declare at prosecutor's citation

by opusdei1972 in

today the two elders who stalked my sister were absent at the prosecutor's citation.

they were waited for 1 hour, but they did not come.

this attitude favors their culpability.

smiddy

Don`t these Elders believe the scripture that says " Do not be afraid when delivered up to the courts ...as to what you will say......holy spirit will put words in your mouth as to how to give an answer "

{Or words to that effect ].

Obviously not

Hello

by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM in

jw
friends

just to say a big hello.

i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.

the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.

Welcome WFWR ,not meaning to be disrespectful ,you are either young and naive or old and senile.

Identifying you want to reform the WT in a letter automatically marks you as an apostate and any letter you send will go straight in the dustbin , no GB member would ever see it.let alone consider it.

Haven`t you been keeping up with Jehovah`s Chariot ? The GB have a direct link with Jehovah and Jesus Christ , what is their to reform .

While ex JW`s can appreciate the points you make , the GB ? no way.

Old books!

by arwen in

jw
friends

found some old books of my ex.

any suggestions??

is it worth ebay?

smiddy

These older publications of the WTB&TS are a testimony to the false prophecy`s this Religious organization spread across the western world in the day of their publication.

I regret the day I dumped many books of the organization into the rubbish bin.

I could have used them to effectively anti-witness at least.

Waking People Up With Well Thought Out Comments

by JW_Rogue in

is it possible to have an effect from the inside?

with well thought comments that reveal more of the history of the organization?

the next book we study will be "god's kingdom rules!

smiddy

I don`t mean to sound cynical , do I get the impression there may be a financial loss in your walking away from your family and this religion ?

just asking

Who says the "Evil Slave" is hypothetical? We, The Dallas Theological Seminary, say so, that's who!

by DATA-DOG in

jesus asked, "who really is the faithful and discreet slave.." maybe he didn't know??

evidently, "the faithful slave", isn't just the governing body of the wtbts, feeding the many with their pudgy hands.

the dts, dallas theological seminary, must also make up the composite/singular fds.

" doesn`t anyone think this is a big deal ?"

Probably no more than the fact that the WT /JW/ / GB , accepted the same Bible cannon as that of apostate Christians in the 3rd/4th Centuries .

Think about that

Where does WT get their money?

by Dreamerdude in

i assume they get most of it from cash donations and assets left in wills.

there may also be some income from invested assets.

i guess they get a lot of money from old jws who die childless or with only df'd kids.geographically i assume they get it mostly from a few countries that have many publishers and strong economies.

smiddy

Doesn`t a lot of their money come straight from the sale of Real Estate that they own ?

Prime real Estate in NYC , Bethels , Branch Offices around the world , Kingdom halls that are built by volunteer labour and then sold off for profit , amalgamation of other KH,`s .

And let`s not forget the wiping of loan arrangements from the table that would have been paid off in a few years or more and then pledging that same amount of money to be paid to W.T. HQ for eternity or Armageddon , whichever comes first.

You have been doing it for 35 years ? , and what have you achieved in that time ?what makes you think a few more months is going to make any difference ?

Just asking

You have to ask yourself this question : Do I want my life to be manipulated by other people ? or am I going to live my life the way I want to live it.
