Science my son and I.

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

a recent o.p origins of the universe bought home to me with ovbious clarity that i have no scientific background.

this realization was rather embarrassing for myself to admit, particularly as my child of 11 has began asking some rather intersting questions on scientific matters.

anyway i have subscribed to " scientific america" because i find it a great magazine for those with no scientific background.

keinlezard

Hello,

I would write "Scientific American" ?

Sorry I'm french :( :) If it was , then I can say Scientific American is a reference. And for french only speaker we have "Pour la Science" who is the translation if this journal.

I love two version :) French and American. Great quality :)

It's a good begining to explore today Science. But sometimes you will need to have background then I think a good advice will be seeing Show like "Cosmos" Carl Sagan or the new of Neil Tyson de Grace.

You have too some books like feynman , Sagan ... for physics , Monod , Jacob for Biology ...

National Geographic Channel on TV is good too :)

Nicolas King: JW celebrity and example of hypocrisy

by neat blue dog in

nicolas king frequently sings with the watchtower chorus and had a supporting role in the dvd released at the 2014 convention.

(he's on the bottom row, second from the right.).

but he also is a jazz singer, traveling constantly performing at concerts, casinos, charity events, even a brief appearance on the tonight show.

Will they change the Yearbook format?

by freddo in

jw
friends

pure speculation here but i'm wondering if - with the numbers flat-lining - that the gb will stop giving country by country stats, or perhaps at least some of the statistics.. we used to get a monthly stat in the km - then that was "simplified" to "highlights".

only the "good" stuff.

then with the new clam workbook, no stats at all.. i wonder if the yearbook will soon only contain "positive" spun stats.

keinlezard

Hello,

They could ... but why ? Remember all their lies ... they affirm to have 8 millions of follower ... but have we reason to believe in these figure ?

In fact, we believe that stats are real figure but any proof ?

Then in the future, why not continue to gives stats. Nothing !

Elder Arrest Scaremongering

by jw07 in

last week there was a meeting with all the elders and ministerial servants about responsibility in the kingdom hall and blah blah blah.. one elder brought up a scenario where all the elders were arrested, and we were asked if the meeting would still go on, and how.. this is the second time within a month that i've heard that scenario posed by an elder in my congregation.. does anyone have any idea of the trash being fed to them in letters recently?.

is this a scenario that hq is putting out there, or are the fear mongering convention videos driving their imaginations wild?.

keinlezard

Hello,

Personnaly I think here we have many things.

- first as wrote smiddy the videos of this regional convention.

- second ( and that was in relation with ) all the trials that could becomes a reality after Candace Conti , Jose lopez, ARC and UK about pedophilia problems.

The GB has probably think that the attack is better than defense ... and they prepare congregation for these "armagedon" ( about responsibility in pedophilia affairs )

-Third internet provides huge amount of information and probably ( too ) lesser recruitment of adept ... then the GB try to have form a group of JW that were ready to follow him even in the Hell :(

( Sorry for my english ... hope you will understand :) )

Who writes Awake! ?

by Drwho in

just a quick question.

who actually writes the awake!

and the watchtower publications ?

keinlezard

Hello From France :)

officially as someone copy here it's a comitee then the GB.

But I remember that I was surprised by opposite Ideas in publications. I think now that in fact first the publication are wrote by anonymous jw and after a member of the GB validate or not.

Another possibility is anonymous writers are pro Morris or pro Lett then when a publication must be validate these anonymous ask to his master to validate it.

It's the only way I could explain what I was feeling when I read some of this shit.

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 :) )

Keep the meeting going! (even if somebody's dying)

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 :(
