Message from Designer Stubble to the former JWR members

message from designer stubble to the former jwr members.

first of all i am glad to see that many of you have found your way to this great forum, facilitated by simon.

i am sure that after the dust of the jwr shutdown has settled, you will find this to be a good new home.. i would like to apologize for the sudden closure of jwr.

i really hate all these "what if" posts

by nowwhat? in

all these hypothetical questions about the organization's demise or what if god did this or that don't do anyone any good.

personal experiences.

info and insight about your congregation, circuit, area and the watchtower itself is what we need.

There are new people arriving here all the time who need to have these conversations. If you're not interested in covering what is old ground to you then just ignore the post.

Christadelphians the closest to JW?

by ab.ortega in

i am curious as to what current religion is similar in beliefs and organization to jw's.

i've only come as far as christadelphians.

Mickey mouse

Exclusive brethren seem pretty similar.

I've probably spent £30 on Steve's books. CCMC convinced me I had been raised in a cult. The second book helped me get family members out. I've met him and he seemed a genuine guy.

One of the best vid's I've ever seen for debunking and disproving Jehovah's Witnesses

by StoneWall in

as some of you know i'm not a religious person at all after leaving the jw's but there was a link on another site i was on and the link was to a pastor's vid.

(about exposing jw's as false prophets etc)being that i'm not at all interested in hearing a sermon, i was going to just leave the site and continue researching some other stuff but then curiosity made me wonder if he truly knew anything about jw's or was just going to be another religious leader downing jw's in an effort to make his version of the "gospel" sound more appealing.i have to admit i was pleasantly surprised at the extent of his knowledge of scripture that jw's like to use as well as the history behind the organization.

many of the points he brought out we've covered here before and he arranged them in an easy to understand and follow sequence.i'd be interested in hearing what some of you think on the job he did on exposing the jw's(wt)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3o56jwgbjk.

Only of interest from 7 minutes in but it was interesting to hear an objective outsider view of the history and teachings of the JWs.

Three graphs in connection with the Watch Tower's current financial situation

by slimboyfat in

a number of public statements by the governing body indicate that they are experiencing financial difficulty and they have appealed to jws to donate more money.

public information on the financial situation of the watchtower society is limited.

but what does the information they do publish indicate about their situation?

Mickey mouse

As others have said I can't see the graphs but the commentary is indeed puzzling. I would have expected the expenditure on full time servants to have declined dramatically as they have let so many go.
