AND STILL NO RELEASE OF THE 2017 JW YEARBOOK

by steve2 in

here we are on the cusp of the new year, and the 2017 yearbook of jws has still not been released.

jw.org continues to feature the 2016 yearbook in its list of main publications.

in previous years, the upcoming yearbook's annual report on jws was released in november for the january 1st then the feb 1st watchtower, then earlier in december when it was only featured in the yearbook, then more recently with a couple of days of december 25th.

Someone on JWtalk posted weeks ago that theres a 1.5% increase this year. Said to be from a reliable source in the German Bethel.

Thats somewhat disappointing if true, since in 2015 they came very close to reporting a decrease.

If anybody tells you that the end is so close

by pepperheart in

ask them why the gb has spent millions of people hours buiding the new bethels in new york and london rather than them working door to door or on the trolleys.

The Watchtower Society has so many documented failed predictions about the end of the world that we have kind of moved on from having to justify why they are wrong yet again. A quick Google search will show many dozens of quotes from the Watchtower since its inception in 1874 that shows what a failure it is in this regard.

It has no credibility whatsoever in this respect, and is not deserving of further responses to repeated presumptuous prognostications about the so-called end of the system being imminent.

Pay no attention to ignorant brainwashed men who self-proclaim themselves to be Gods channel on earth, unless you are an incredulous, gullible sucker.

My wife and I are hooked on European series screening on SBS TV

by smiddy in

whether they be norwegian ,danish ,french or whatever , having sub-titles doesnt bother us as their usually is a mix of english dialogue as well.. some examples : tracked ,the tunnell ,the bridge ,dicte ,borgen ,just to name a few.another one i`m watching now about the middle east the name just escapes right now .. anybody else watching these shows ?.

fukitol

The European stuff has always been much better if you are not bothered by missing half the visual experience because of having to read subtitles. Or you are a lightning fast reader of subtitles.

Most stuff produced by Hollywood currently is abject, youth obsessed crap.

Just curious about how faithful women are these days. Anybody know?

by Alostpuppydog in

so being someone who is not, however still believes around 70% of what the jw's talk about as far as the bible goes, ignoring the fact of no blood transfusions, shunning, etc.

wt doctrines, i got this question.

anybody really know how faithful 'worldly' (i use this term lightly 😉) women are these days?

fukitol

What a strange opening post.

The poster seems to want to know if worldly women are as faithful as JW women. He is obviously tempted or involved in a 'worldky' woman.

Ive got news for you buddy.

Women are all the same, no matter what colour, culture, creed or religion: They are faithful and loyal to any man who genuinely loves and respects them and shows it by his words and actions.

Religions got nothing to do with it. Since time immemorial, if any man treats the woman he loves, 'worldly' or not, with genuine love, tenderness and respect, she will be faithful.

A womans love for a man and her children and family universally transcend man-made superstitious inventions and nonsense such as religion.

Women are far superior to men in this respect and in all ways of the heart and of love.

Elders School 2017: New instructions to handle sexual abuses?

by sp74bb in

an informant in spanish forum, active elder in a congregation in madrid (spain) has posted new info regarding elders school 2017. important changes are to be done for "child" or sexual abuses.

https://abusostj.vbulletin.net/forum/main-forum/audiencias-judiciales/5506-escuela-de-ancianos-2017.

doing a summary:.

fukitol

Pure and utter ass-covering of the nth degree dreamed up by the scum-bucket lawyers propping up the Watchtower Cult Society in its panicked attempts to legally absolve the elders from their glaring and patently obvious moral responsibility to report sexual crimes against children.

They are scraping the bottom of the barrel legally in their desperate attempts to cover themselves legally going forward while the uber arrogant and morally blind Governing Body insist at all costs on clinging to their unbelievably erroneous and sick two witness rule as applied to child abuse applications.

"The victims be damned; we are the Watchtower Society and we are Gods mouthpiece. We will not change our policy!"

Is the Dubbers cult going to more digital than printed?

by dogon in

i know they have slave labor free but it costs a lot to print, ship ect and then you have waste.

digital would cut costs.

i was thinking about this because my wife visited her mother an father who are still cult members.

The JW governing body are all overweight, creepy looking little men

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

having seen a few of these tv productions and some youtube clips of their assembly parts, how can jehovah's witnesses really take these silly little men seriously?.

you take one look at them; their overweight, fat little bodies.

their entirely shabby, overhanging suits.

fukitol

This thread is a bit silly, really.

Show me a single Board of Directors of any huge American corporation that isnt primarily composed of overweight, older, Caucasian males.

Where We Jews (and Religionists) Have Not Been So Forthcoming

by David_Jay in

because i feel some people have become confused in thinking that i am promoting religion or thinking that being jewish is some type of special gift that makes me better, i am writing to tell you that i don’t feel this way.

think of this as your christmas gift (or chanukah or festivus or whatever).. despite the fact that i too practice a religion, i also think atheism is a purposeful and noble use of the mind.

too often people with a religion have only bad things to say about atheism and atheists.

fukitol

Vidiot - Sorry but I still fail to see how the Jewish religion is any more 'real' than any other religion. Please elaborate.

Vidiot10 hours ago

David_Jay - "...and belong to a real religion..."
fukitol - "WTF?"

I think he meant "a real religion... as opposed to a crazy-ass fundy religion"...

...like the WTS, for example.

And what is this all about?

Heartsafire, I find your use of slave labor to type our posts praising Pol-Pot to high quite offensive.

When did Heartsafire praise Pol-Pot, Viviane? She would seem to be about the last person on this forum to ever do such a thing?
