Why I'm Happy Ted Jaracz {governing body} is dying! Comments?
by Witness 007 inhe was responsible for the child abuse mess and voted on the blood, organ transplant, nuetrality issues which killed many faithful witnesses and left others with serious mental problems.
he was from all accounts rude, arrogant and i believe he would have sacrificed witness children an an altar if he thought it would help the "mother" organisation as he called it.
he is the ultimate brainwashed freak who would step on brothers knecks just to make sure things are "theocratic.

's at the branch, i was handed a piece of paper with statistics on it for that past year, both of the circuit i was assigned to serve, and the total stats in the country.. here are the stats that the branch keeps track of:.
publishers, congregations, bible studies, baptized, memorial attendance, pioneers, aux pios, etc.

Furthermore, we were told that a low level of contributions could signal concealed wrong-doing; the 'theory' is that if someone is doing something bad, and it doesn't come to light and the congregation is not 'cleansed', Congregation starts to lose influence of the Holy Spirit and bros and sis are not compelled to contribute.
Yeah, like if a man was secretly abusing children he might feel less compelled to put money in the box.
Oh, wait. I'm confused.
What I meant was, if a man was secretly covering over the abuse of children by other men. He might feel less compelled to put money in the box.
No, that's not it.
Wait.
Ok, got it. A man found out that organisation was secretly covering over the abuse of children by other men within the organisation. He would probably avoid putting money in the box.

Have you ever lost weight unexpectedly?

I lost 28lbs in six months a decade ago due to eating less and moving about (a lot) more.
I wish I could replicate that in 2009...

I'm serious, expect much singing about edification from the Governing Body and how they're counted worthy to be;
- given (lots) of honour
- respected
- praised
- thanked
- blessed
- followed
- obeyed
They might manage to stop short of suggesting the Governing Body should be worshiped, but it's just a case of joining the dots.
Do you think the lyrics will have weird back-tracking? You read groups of words in the new song book backwards it spells out things like "Decide to regular pioneer" or, "Oh Governing Body, my sweet lord Governing Body?"

C'mon dude, how does a thread like this help you? How does help anyone doubting JW who happens to have a peak at the forum?
Jaracz isn't a great guy, many of us will concede that, but being happy about his alleged dying isn't healthy.

Watchtower is kicking people out again, in the name of LOVE?
by Bethelite Elder inright now at bethel, they are laying off and reassigning again.
if you have cancer or some other illness, you are a liability and it's time to pack.

The big 3 from the late 1800's
by Gregor inthe latter day saints have their own state for crying out loud.
they also established one of the most prestigous universities in the country, byu.. the seventh day adventists operate the best teaching hospitals in the world and crank out world class doctors.. the jehovah's witnesses are best known through being the butt of jokes in comedy skits.
they are at present scrambling to get their financial act together..

Just wanted to resurrect this as I think Gregor makes a valid point.
