  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' is God's channel of communication?"

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a jw had the nerve to ask me this question, i'd say to them, "you go first.

  using only scriptural proof, show me why you believe that the wtbts/ccojw is god's choice and i'll tell you if i agree with your scriptural reasoning.".

  wait for the silence and the rabbit in the headlights moment.. i searched on the wt cd rom for references of "channel of communication.".

  If the FDS is God's channel of communication, God is playing some really funny games with us.

  Broadcasting move part 2

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think this is not an unimportant observation.. with the move of the broadcasting channel to the library part of jw.org the broadcasting are away from the general public.

  so the obscure gb video's about strange mathers are not out to the open anymore with a simple click to tv.jw.org.

  only the rank and file will find them easily.. i think this was the objective of the change.. g..

  The broadcasts may have begun to have a segment for the 'in crowd." They did that when they came out with the Study Edition of the Watchtower. The rank and file had superior, inside knowledge that was not readily available to the public unless they came to meetings.

  But we know a lot of things that they don't know that are of even greater importance than the silly little things in their broadcasts or Watchtowers.

  Where are the funds going to come from? Warwick Expansion

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so with the news that they are remodeling patterson and expanding warwick, where are the funds going to come from?.

  could this be a ruse like the need for thousands of kingdom halls proclaimed a few years back only to be replaced with the we realized the halls were not at capacity and the great sell-off began?.

  maybe the hope is going to be that the sheep will give give give and then all of the sudden, after prayerful consideration the gb have determined that the current resources are sufficient to create the needed media and content.. my bet is that in 10 years it will all be consolidated to warwick and walkill and patterson will be sold to who i have no idea, but they own a ton of property in upstate ny..

  Searril, an ex-Witness got a video of Anthony Morris at a liquor store buying a cart full of Scotch.

  I'm sure you can find it on YouTube.

  Please research, I have to admit, I don't know how to take that website. It sort of seems like the kind of news website that the WT should have had for years, but it is obviously not a WT site and the news items are questionable. My opinion is that it is run by somebody very favorable to the WT, which makes the news articles suspect to "spin" or ""tweaking."

  But thanks for bringing it up.

  Wow. Backing off on the aggression factor with the preaching. That seems like a biggie. I'm one of those who preached for years with nothing to show for my effort. I wish they had mentioned easing up on aggressive preaching while I was still in. I would have taken it as meaning "don't bother."

  Wannabefree, the date at the top of the page in the link is today's date, but further down it has the 2018 date. Maybe they ran the article again in case anybody missed it.
