  the message would appear to be that jehovah needs money more than that old lady needs food:.

  Didnt the second president of the WTB&TS , C.T.Russell say something like we will not beg or solicit for money ?

  if the willing contributions without that pressure run out , it will be a sign from God , that is enough .

  or something like that.

  C.T.Russell the second president ? you ask ? Yes , he was.

  W.H.Conley , was the first president of the WTB&TS

  peter stanford: slam the door shut on door-to-door fundraising.

  The one problem as I see it with D2D fundraising / religion is , your always caught off guard .They always seem to catch you at an in-opportune moment , one that your not prepared for .

  While that might be advantageous to the caller in some cases overall I think it is detrimental to the organization doing it. ..Its off-putting

  And now with the tele-marketers ringing you up over and over again with the same message you have rejected a thousand times before ,a sane persons patience runs thin .

  And that is definetely not good for the product that is being sponsored .

  Getting back to the JW religion ,I would love to know , how many converts are really made through D2D witnessing in a year in first world countries.

  And the same can also be asked of the Mormons ,and the Seventh day Adventists,if we could get true reliable statistics about this , it could be revealing.

  Those three religions are the ones more likely to knock on your door.

  What is that scripture that says something like , if they ask you for an inch give them a mile or some such thing.?

  In other words , what the worldly authorities are asking of them is nothing more than trying to alleviate problems that could occur with organizations that dont comply , so why are they resisting ? instead of complying ?

  Should they not be bending over backwards to comply ? So as not to be seen as an organization with something to hide ?

  The fact is that not only Elders ,Ministerial servants ,have been guilty of abuses against children/minors in the Congregations/organization of Jehovahs Witnesses , in many parts/ countries of the World , but also members of the rank & file , both male and female offenders have been successfully prosecuted in many lands.

  Secrecy?

  by HereIgo in

  2. experiences

  were any of you shocked by the secrecy in the org?

  i remember hearing that elders have to turn in their "flock" books if they resign, get deleted, etc, i didn't even know they had their own books and i was an ms. is the bible not enough?

  i remember i asked one of the elders if i could see my publisher record, they refused to show me!

  If a brother consistently reported over 10 hours a month in FS ,providing he was exemplary in other areas of his life he was prime material for being appointed as a MS and later on as being appointed as an Elder

  For the life of me I cant find any reference to amount of hours in field service you need to achieve to become a MS or an Elder in the Christian Greek Scriptures.

  And if you want to puke have a look at the WT `s attempt to flash mob with their Kingdom songs in public places ,pathetic .
