E-Mail, Just recived. About Bethell adjustments.

by DwainBowman in

i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

here is the email: .

---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

They seem desperate to find anything to excite the troops by adding a little mystery. " ooooo..the brothers have such special insight !" It's pathetic

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

by Funchback in

there were many addressed to me.

for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

My ex was counselled for smoking on the FS ,someone reported seeing her from a distance ,it was her pen as she used to be very fussy keeping notes of return visits ,then I counselled the elders for approaching her instead of me first.

Old elder giving talk ,stops and points out to the sisters in the front row that they were dressed immodestly and should move to the back of the hall, all skirts were on the knee.I later asked him why he was looking up the skirts of those sisters - no priveledges for a while.

Priveledges taken off me once at the back of the hall by an elder in front of the roster and an audience of bros and sisters - I had,nt had time earlier that day to drop everything and fix his computer for free.

A brother counselled in front of a congregation for working the mikes with a "shiny" suit on by DO Franz Hoobler -what a prat.

The old elder mentioned before, while conducting the Watchtower study on apostate literature says he picks up a copy of The Plain Truth" (religious mag) at the railway station on the way to work regularly, then counsells the congo against taking the book of Mormon or any religious literature from house holders .,

Counselled to not talk about the pedophiles in the congregation

Oh and this little gem from the "80s in Adelaide Australia at the district Assembly by a prominent DO at the time "brothers do not follow the world with your haircuts ,especially the one they call the "penis cut",

That one cracked me up as it was just short back and sides just like 99% of old brothers

A problem with the book of Daniel

by wozza in

left the wts some years ago, but just before i left we were studying the daniel book that they produced in the book study .. i noticed something wrong in the bible account of daniel and brought this up at the end of the study when the conductor asked if everyone understood that nights study,.

i think i may have started a topic here some years ago about this event ,it was a time when i started to question the wts in my heart and mind.the scriptures are lengthy so i will just shorten things by describing the stories in daniel and how one point really got me thinking about things and perhaps made the brothers wierd out about me sand distance themselves ,here it is..........dan ch 1-4. daniels ( who came to be called belteshazzar)in babylon along with shadrach,meshach & abednego ,daniel,after praying with these 3, interprets and states what nebuchadnezzars dream is( we all know this ,the image with the head of gold body of iron and copper etc) and they are rewarded by being positions of authority.

daniel made ruler of the province and chief prefect over babylons wise men ,the 3 were made overseers of the administation of the province ,all very important jobs ,.

wozza

Thanks again Kepler interesting stuff ,it's almost like it all written down by future scribes putting together some oral history, does'nt build confidence in the bible for me.

And Zoos ......Dan ch4 vs 9 NWT

Sounds like it would make a good movie topic ,sell it to hollywood they need some originality and stop copying foreign films and rebranding them :)

What will 1914 (DROPPED) mean for you (EX-JW)

by John Aquila in

let's pretend this might happen.

im not asking what it will mean for the jdubs or for the organization, but what will it mean for you---- if one day you wake up and the watchtower drops the 1914 doctrine.. (you know at some point they have to, but probably not our lifetime).

if you are disfellowshipped or disassociated and have been shunned by your parents, by your children, by you spouse or ex-husband/wife, for years or even less, will you call your relatives and ask/tell them;.

wozza

It is possible they drop 1914 anytime from now ,if I look back to the time I first studied their teachings in 1974-75 ,and then look forward from then, I could never imagine the religion and it's teachings now that we see.

Caleb and Sophia is it? the cartoon characters ,no home book studies etc etc and then there's all the doctrinal changes ,certainly not the religion I was baptised into and why?....because the teachings come from men

The gratitude of Jehovah's witnesses - unbelievable

by punkofnice in

i have to rant...i know you'll listen and understand.. i drove over to my son's place.
