JW broadcasting and doubts

by Colinconfused in

hi everyone to cut a long story short, ive been away from the meetings for over 10 years.

i recently reconnected with the congregation and started a study.

cant get my head around all the changes and jw broadcasting.

keinlezard

Hello Collin,

why ? I'm always in this jail :( ... why come back ?

How can you do that ?

Think one minute ... imagine one True Religion , a World with only One religion ( true religion ) This religion affirm some "Truth" and Bible lights

Then day after day , year after year ... these Truth change ... and evan contradict old Truth

Can you think that after 10 years ( only 10 ) This religon is always the True Religion ?

With WT it's the same ... if you have old publication or CDROM look at "electric church" and what the WT think about !

And Today ... WT is one of these "electric church" ! ...

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?

keinlezard

Hello,

I seems to me that WT tells to bethel and pionneer to go back in "congregation" and that the "congregation" must / should take care of these "fired" (from bethels and Brooklyn )

Then, are theses figures up-to-date ?

I mean that how now WT really spend for pionneer and bethelits ?

Another point of view is WT / GB are liars ... how trust their declaration ?

As read on this forum, is the actual situation de cause of change ... lack of money ... but many JW ...

or , lack of JW that cause lack of money , that cause change ... are really JW 8 millions ? or less ?

The same as Scientology ... WT says "we are growing as never before" she cannot print less JW in yearbook statistics :)

( Sorry for my poor English .. hope you understand :) )

this is a true story.

it's about a sister named henriette venema.

she was a very loyal jw.

keinlezard

Hello

I don't know henriette , but the attitude of jw doesn't suprise me ...

A 2016 convention in France , Villepinte , Kenneth Flodin tell us he lost his sister when hi arrived in France for the convention ... but what I see was astonishing he was like a "machine" when he talks no emotion, no tears ...

A real JW made by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society incorporated :(

Trenton NJ Convention... Some Brief mpressions

by Room 215 in

peak attendance (sunday): 5,645; 26 baptized.

general impression: "convention light"-- i.e.

entertainment value:(previously nil) now enhanced by leavening the boring talks with interspersed video.

keinlezard

Hello,

And In France ( Villepinte ) more than 22,000 en round 200 baptized !!!

We had pleasure to see Stephen Lett ... that promise "tribulation" very near :). When he talks , I wonder if he was not prepare the futur "trial" with Australia and all problems with pedophilia around the world ...

And a strange new borg ... "Kenneth Flodin" .. He said, he lost his sister now .. but no "emotions" on his face !

No tears on his eyes,neither in his voice !

Very very strange :(

Is he human ?

Greetings

The increasing number of the anointed. Comments, anyone?

by dgp in

i'm very much enjoying "the orwellian world of jehovah's witnesses", by heather and gary botting.

now, this excerpt comes very much to the point of this thread, i believe:.

page 145: "still, in 1975 the society clearly feared a continuation of the upward trend in memorial partakers, and in an article entitled "annointing to a heavenly hope - how is it manifest?

thank you ...

We don't have this information yet in French :)

Could Watchtower Collapse Be Sooner Than You Think?

by metatron in

jw
friends

there have been a number of developments over the past few months and they paint an interesting picture.. witnesses can keep dragging themselves to meetings ad infinitum however, the future of the watchtower itself is another story.

the evidence of continuing cash flow problems is now overwhelming.

if you talk to well placed witnesses, most won't deny it but simply blame it on the publishers financial problems.. they have cut off loans to congregations many of whom genuinely need new kingdom halls.
