To the "Believers" - A Sincere Question...

by AGuest in

to: "non-believers" (i am speaking to the "adult" among you as there are some who simply won't be able to resist... and you know who you are), i would like to ask that you please refrain from commenting, if you would be so kind.

if possible, it would be greatly appreciated if you would hold your comments for another thread, please.

thank you... and may you have peace!.

Anyone who writes JAHESHUA for Jesus has more problems than I can deal with.

Am I a believer? I am. Am I going to answer the question you put at the beginning?

Why doesn't the Spirit, which you say motivates you, give you the answer?

It was just announced by letter to all congregations
that there's going to be new construction in Walkill .

New Housinging building s added, new multi-storey parking garage added as well.

They're asking for Bros with good spiritual qualifications
from ages 19-55 to work from one week, to 3 months.

If a Bro applies to work for a month of more
and is married the sister needs to apply too.

If a brother is over 55 he can still apply
since "as done in the past" if there is a shortage
of volunteers they may begin taking older brothers.

Is the Governing Body looking down on the R&F?

by cattails in

there's an interesting thread at:.

http://www.jwsupportforum.com/index.php?topic=8247.msg119745.

it raises the question that the point of view of many society illustrations is from above, a kind of bird's eye view, looking down on to the scene.. and since the society spends so much time mulling over every detail of their illustrations the point of view from above has to be chosen on purpose.. if this is the case then it speaks volumes about the way the governing body wants to be perceived as being higher, looking down on things.. and it would give the r&f the feeling that they are being watched.. what do you all think about this?

"Well, if you should illustrate an article about how people lived back then, what the houses looked like - would you have made pictures looking from below? If a dwelling is to be shown in perspective, whatother way is there but to have a look at a certain angle from above? Man, are we getting a new sort of hidden-messages-in-the-pictures thread?"

It's not the dwellings article by itself, it's that most of the photos show that same perspective. And that you know they're doing it on purpose, too. That's what's freaky about it. It freaked me out when I read the post and saw the illustrations, they seem to be always from above, behind someone's shoulder or peeking into something going on. Why would they chose that angle for most pictures? I'm for those who think there's something sneaky going on there.

There's sample pictures from the latest magazines, although these aren't available yet at the magazine counter. Very eye opening I think.

How Many Elders Are Here?

how many elders are here?.

i dont know if this topic has been posted before.

but after realizing that i sort of resurrected an old post from outofthebox, i thought of starting a new one with the topic above.

Hi TJL. Thanks for telling more about yourself. I'm glad you feel comfortable telling this and I think your goals of helping to put up a website for Spanish JWs to be helped make an escape from the WT is very good. I'm sorry to have confused you, but have you ever visited the Extj.com forum? It's in Spanish and has lots of members. You're welcome to join discussions there and talk with others who've gone through many similar problems when in the WT organization. My Spanish isn't as good as it could be but I can pretty much understand and make simple replies there. There are Bethelites, Current Elders and Ex-Elders there as well.

Thanks for your posts.

"TJlibre stands for Testigo De Jehova Libre or a free Jehovah’s Witness"

Hi TJL. You sound very familiar. Do you happen to go by the nick "iloowy" in the Extj.com/foro group or were you "buzkid" here previously?
