JW Broadcasting is dying.

by John Aquila in

once a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.

these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.

they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.

With the Watchtower everything is take take take, the only reason they provide something like literature is because they'd lose tax-free status if they sold stuff.

Of course they do expect donations for everything they provide.

With the videos at the Kingdom Hall it's the same bait and switch story, get people into watching it then make them donate through their noses!

What a bunch of mind dead drones those elders are, where is the love and honor for the elderly?

But you know who gets all the attention, the "able-bodied young men and women" those who can benefit the organization, the older ones are already used up and discarded. This makes me so angry!

The WT Trucking outfit is called Kingdom Support Services, Inc.

I've met the brother who was a driver for KSS and he seemed quite nice, but he was like he had too much caffeine. He was on his way down from Canada with a load of construction stuff and headed back to NY. I did a search for the name of the company on the Tractor Trailer's door and found this DOT information.

This link shows their DOT records.

There's some violations but way lower than the National thresh-hold of violations. Take a look below:

SDA church general conference has voted NO on womens ordination and now there is a big fight

by barry in

jw
friends

last wednesday the question was put 'can unions ordain women as ministers in the sda church?

the vote was defeated yes 41.35 to no 58.45.. the dutch churches responded quickly saying they won't be changing there policy and will continue to ordain women.. the north american division and the two conferences in california have women pastors that are already ordained.. the sda pastors in china are mostly women.. the internet is running hot with opinions one way or the other.

here is how millennials feel about there church at this point most are studying at an sda university.

I take heart knowing that the current governing body will not be there forever and that a new body will lead the organization with open minds. Changes will be made in doctrine.

If that were possible in the Jehovah's Witness religion then it would quickly fall appart.

There's little chance that the Witnesses would change if the Roman Catholic Church can undo the Second Vatican progressive advances and still strong arm the American nuns into submission. I think the JWs and the Catholic men in charge like it that way and will keep that fascist combat boot pressing on the necks of women for as long as they can. Swine!

I think the SDA Church can have this sort of conversation/argument because they've never had the Patristic oligarchical tradition that JWs, Catholics, Greek-Orthodox and Mormons have against women, for example.

Hi all, the prodigal daughter returns to JWD.

it's been four years (has it really been that long) that i haven't been on jwd.. i was back out west for a long while and i came back to new england.

just got an appartment with another sister and things are looking up.

i'm keeping under the radar and avoiding elder visits--not fully out of the kingdom hall yet.

cattails

Thank you all for the nicest welcome.

Perry: Welcome back. What would you say is the biggest difference between east coast and west coast JW's is?

Huh! That made me stop and think.The Jehovah's Witnesses I grew up with were more laid back, definitely, but more earnest, but more fun, but more flirty, but more warm to each other, it's hard to describe it.

But the ones I've met in New England and especially around Boston are always busy, too busy, too stressed out, no time to have much fun, and waste a good part of the morning at Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds, they drive like maniacs and some--not all--are very self righteous, and gossip like old matrons.

Some Latinos and Black brothers from Southern MA and RI are very hip and wear soot suits (ya! I don't know why??? But it's kinda cool, and colorful socks too! Take that Anthony Morris III).

I do miss the get-togethers out west, the food, the weather, and the flatness of it all. Going in service in MA was a real trip at first, never seeing the horizon, woods everywhere and the houses seemed like they were all weird.

Thank you oppostate.

The forum has had quite an upgrade. I like the "I like" and "Dislike" buttons. I wish Facebook had a "Dislike" button like this!

There's a lot of new people in the forum, I notice, and that's a good thing.

What is the "Analysis Report" (S-10) form that CO's request from COBOE's?

by cattails in

i've heard of an s-10 form that elders are to have filled in called an "analysis report".... what is the "analysis report" (s-10) form that co's request from coboe's?.

what information is requested?

does it evaluate other elders and ms's and people with responsibilities in the congregations or the physical status of the kh itself?.

Who fills it out and why do CO's need to see it on their visit?

Anyone who's been out recently or still has access to the JW.org site that has the forms could you provide some of this info?

NEW RUMOR: WT ALLOWS BIRTHDAYS

by J.R.R.Watchtower in

i've just read at a spanish forum for ex-jw that the wt has cooked a new light article series about social celebrations, including birthdays and aniversaries.

according to a member of this forum 'in short' the wt will let witnesses to decide by 'their bible trained conscience' either they celebrate birthdays or not.

is this rumor based in some real facts or it's just bullshit?.

cattails

They are leather covered in new colors, with not only gold but now... silver edging.

Okay! I want one, light gray-blue leather with silver edging for my BIRTHDAY!!! :-)
