  Contradictory Information on the Life of Geoffrey Jackson

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in geoffrey jackson's autobiography published in in the watchtower, he states that him and his wife went to serve as missionaries on the island nation of tulavu in 1979, and there were only 3 baptized witnesses in all of tulavu, and he translated all of the witness literature into the tuvaluan language in 1980, printing it right there on the island.

  the article says they served as missionaries there until 1985 when they were assigned to the samoa branch.. .

  in july, 2008, the watchtower society penned a letter to the un human rights council about the treatment of jws in tuvalu.

  How do we know Jesus was black? He called everyone brother and couldn't get a fair trial.

  meeting with elders about WT involvement in UN

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i still go to the meetings because of my in wife and it came about that the elders knew of my pissed off attitude about the society getting involved in the un.

  so the elders said they could help me get over that and wanted to meet with me.

  now just to let you know, i have only told my wife and her mom so far about it, that's it.

  Ltpf. I fell for you mate. .you did what you had to do to keep the most important thing in your life together, your family. Listening to 2 elders who will only spout out the official line must have been at best hard but hey that's what it took . I m at a loss to know if I could have handled it so well.karter

  Jehovah`s Witnesses Boasted They have No Clergy Laity Class ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well that`s what was impressed on me to differentiate between the true religion and false religion , when i was converted in 1960 , do they still claim that ?

  believing that they still do , i will say this.. what about ,:the governing body who definitely are set apart from the rank and file for their attitude towards the r&f , but also from the attitude of the r&f towards the governing body members.many do seem to idolise gb members by their actions , and the gb members dont seem to discourage that.. and not only for their attitude , how about their life-style , being housed in bethel with all the mod -cons of modern civilization as opposed to a r&f member living in a third world country .does the wt society do anything to make their lifestyle improve ?

  { did jesus have a place to rest his head ?
