  Need Help FAST!

  by TweetieBird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my son (who's 15) came home from the meeting last night (he thinks he wants to be a witness, but that's in another thread) and said that his grandmother (my mother-in-law) told him my reason for not going to meetings (the un thing, also discussed in another thread).

  he told me that i need to talk to the po about it as he had heard about it a while back and has some information.. hmmmm, me thinks the mom-in-law has been talking to the po about what i told her last week.

  i'm sure that i will be getting a shepherding call (a drop-by, unscheduled visit) by him this weekend.

  Jehovahs Spirit-Directed Earthly Organisation

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just want to get back to some basics here, this post is not meant to take the mickey.. i am of the opinion that the above-mentioned phrase is something that jw's absorb into their sub-conscious minds over a long period of time, with the end result that they actually do believe that jehovah does indeed operate through this organisation.. can someone please take me step by step through this essential belief of jw's, right from when the idea of an earthly org was first mooted.

  i can't find any scriptural backing for this belief at all, not one tiny bit.

  even if i really stretch and link isolated scriptures there just does not seem to be any basis for belief here at all.

  watchtower finances

  by oscartheduck in

  if revenues for brooklyn bethel per year alone are equivalent to 951 million dollars, then this is about 158.5 per witness(given six million witnesses).. there's more money than that coming in worldwide, because of the other bethels in the world.. .

  so, where does the money come from?

  i think that should be checked into...or my maths should be checked into.. .

  I Don't Sympathise With Suicides

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let me explain.. firstly i have seen any number of so-called attempted suicides.

  i've walked past an old girl friends house, seen her watching tv through the window, by the time i'm knocking on the door she's told me that she had her head in the gas oven and my knock stopped her.. my mother in law walks into the sea for a pastime.

  every time she can't get her own way she walks in up to her knees and waits for someone to see her.
