  Bethel's Official List of UK CO's and DO's in 2006!

  by TimothyT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those who have been discussing co's and do's in the uk, i managed to dig up a photo from my archives of when i had a visit to bethel in june 2008. because i was an uber witness i just had to have my picture taken in front of the amazing printing presses in london.

  also, i saw a poster which listed all of the co's and do's in the uk so i just had to have a picture of it.

  i realise that the list was created in 2006, the picture was taken in 2008 and now we are in 2013, so a lot of time has past and im certain the list is totally different now, but atleast there be some names on there you will realise and remember.

  just think the fleet of lorries/trucks they had sending out the rags and books to the congs every fortnight from the Branch packed to capacity, they can only dream of those days and the environmental impact that would have had on the planet when 99.9% of their crap was not only ever read from their D2D work very little was read by the R&F also, isnt there a scripture that says "god will bring to ruin those ruining the earth?"

  Lazy field service

  did anyone else have really lazy people in their congregation when it came to the field circus.

  people where i live are shamelessly lazy, they drive door to door even when the houses are 3 feet apart!

  yes even in town houses they drive door to door.

  I always remember the phase of "24 hour gas station witnessing" a car group would head out at some ridiculously early time in the morning to leave magazines with the night shift workers of gas station, one would park up and leave a rag while the others would just sit in the car gossiping, considering that 99.9% of gas station operatives in the London area were and still are from the Indian subcontinent it would be unlikely that most of them would not even be Christian let alone have an understanding of the rags, it was quietly dropped, how stupid!

  Anyone know any former long time Bethelites or circuit overseers?

  by BourneIdentity in

  2. experiences

  as you know, when you work your whole life, you pay into social security.

  at retirement, you collect a paycheck from the government based on a percentage of income you drew for all those years.

  do any of you know anyone that had been at bethel for decades and then were laid off?

  Who is the Saviour?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is for those who are interested in bible study.. the jehovah's witnesses claim that only the father is god, and thus teach he was the saviour in the old testament.

  the bible teaches that god says "there is no saviour beside me".

  therefore how is it, that the lord jesus christ is called the saviour of the world?.

  JW Answers , isnt it a bit easier if you can briefly explain this belief you have rather than watch the video?

  The ineffectiveness of the Watchtower Society preaching work

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how can the watchtower society claim effectiveness in their 140 years of preaching the ''good news''..... spending billions of hours in ''field service'', having the ''faithful and discreet slave'' lead the preaching work, passing out billions of watchtower literature since the 1870's, while the pentecostals have been more effective using other evangelical methods?

  congregations.

  119,954. members.

  the title of the thread should read "the stupidity" of the WTS preaching work
