because they are mentally retarded.
THE WITCH HUNT BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER, when the magazine has been on the watchtower study.

'Separate the wheat from the chaff' in 2011
by Gorbatchov inthe april 2011 pioneer action of 30 hours is a kind of 'separate the wheat from the chaff'.. think about it: 40 percent of our congregation is pioneering.
the other half of the congregation has something to explain.... i don't report hours for years.
although i'm not "too sensitive" it feels like "standing fully outside the group".

Maybe this feeling is a right perception of what I am, "standing fully outside the group".
But this "drifting apart" by this arrangement it is still confronting to me and opposite of Christian love.

Japanese situation
by Gorbatchov inis the current situation in japan the scenario that our watchtower leaders dream about?
i don't want to be a part of a religion that loves a big armageddon.
i can not believe that if there is a loving god, he wants to punish humans this way.

Is the current situation in Japan the scenario that our Watchtower leaders dream about? I don't want to be a part of a religion that loves a big Armageddon. I can not believe that if there is a loving God, he wants to punish humans this way. It is very very cruel.
But I'm still a JW... A cynical believer who strongly condemns the doctrine of his long time family believe (4th generation). Summary: I don't believe anymore, but attends meetings for remaining the family structure...

Friends,
A few years ago I found somewhere on the internet a picture with GB members meeting Cuban government peope (I think they were from the Cuban Central Comity or Polit Bureau).
For me the evidence that GB members are direct involved in political arrangments.
The GB members are the one in the WT organisation, who don't believe in God. They know it's all fake!

A roaring current of change.... Is The Watchtower in the process of a major overhaul of their religion?
by koolaid-man ina roaring current of change..... what is going on at the world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses?
in the last couple of years unprecedented changes in policy, procedure, and doctrine have been coming forth in rapid fire sequence.
this uninterrupted episode of new information is beginning to backfire for the rank and file witnesses.

WontLeave,
You are in the same difficult situation as I am. I don't sing, dont pray, don't read but only listen on the meetings.
It makes me sad. But I still attend because of my family relations.
Today was a very sad meeting.
A childish explanation why we have to sit when the congregation sings. A disussion about the picture of the article. What boy is good, what boy is bad!
The rank-and-file is eating it like pancake with honey!
I feel - same like you - very alone. Alone. Alone.
And hope and pray my son and daughter (now baby's) will follow higher education and college instead of pionering (...)
I hate this religion but can not escape...

Kool-aid,
I have one answer to your questions / opinion.
The reason of all the fast changes within the watchtower world, is:
1. The WTS is very sensitive for juridical issues. It has many lawyers, and they are in charge.
2. The WTS is very sensitive for dollar issues. It has many financial experts, and they are in charge too.
3. The WTS is very keen in property transactions. It has many property managers, and they are in charge too.
4. The GB is not in charge, the lawyers, financial experts and property managers are.
5. The only thing the GB can do to keep in a bit control is: devide and rule.

Elder-schmelder, I don't remember exactly, I think it is less then 10.000 dollar. No problem for a multinational corporation like the Watchtower.

JW.org was first registered and owned by the Jewish Woman federation.
I researched this a few years ago using Google.

Lease cars for circuit overseers (worldwide arrangement)
by Gorbatchov inyesterday evening a letter of the dutch (netherlands) branch of the watchtower society was read to the congregation.
it stated that the governing body has made a new arrangement for circuit overseers worldwide: the society provides a lease car.
it was backed with some bible texts (...) and the conclusion was that it was financial cheaper for the congregations.
