  i read this weekend many reactions on my own posting about "we just love this idea" and also the topics of cedars and metatron about the new understanding of the fds doctrine and stop the printing facility's.. today i can not oppress the feeling that the new fds understanding is just a publicity stunt just to make jw.org famous and usefull for the rank-and-file jw's.. how to get attention for the new publishing channel jw.org to replace the use of hardcopy magazines?!?

  just release a new understanding of an important doctrine @ jw.org.

  Cedars, thanks for your comment. I like your postings.

  When I watched the jw.org video, it seems to me the China Party Congress, so controlled was the event and the report of it.

  I'm curious how this all will end.

  What I think about the "We just love this idea" of David Splane

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw.org video about the annual meeting contains david splane saying "we just love this idea", when talking about the adjusted fds doctrine.

  "we just love this idea"????

  when it becomes one of the fundament teachings of the organisational part of a religion, the rank-and-file witnesses are expected to be convinced about these kind of doctrines.

  When it becomes one of the fundament teachings of the organisational part of a religion, the rank-and-file witnesses are expected to be convinced about these kind of doctrines. And if you show in the local congregation some disrespect about these doctrines, you are marked and can be ousted or expelled by the elders, congegrational members, and more important, your JW family, who are teached in recent Watchtower article's that no contact can be remained, not even by use of email.

  So, when all the witnesses have to believe in current and adjusted doctrines, the governing body members like David Splane can label an adjusted or new doctrine with the words "this idea" and publish this without any problem on the official website.

  Thats what I just want to notice.

  Where does all the JW money go?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want to know.. does every kingdom hall, bethel and assembly hall belong to the watchtower, bible & tract society?.

  each of those kingdom halls, bethels etc are built with the money obtained by that country's contributions.

  if a loan is needed the bothers of that specific congregation pay off the loan.. the society has then an extremely huge amount of property worth billions of $$$$ who has control of all those funds?

  DO: what to do by doubts

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the do told us at the recent district assembly @ the netherlands, that if you have doubts about jw doctrine, you have to remain a strong connection with jehovah god, because "you are dedicated to jehovah and not to an organisation".. later on a very old brother was interviewed and he gave the counsel "keep your doubts about doctrine in a refrigiator, just wait and see".

  the do asked him "how many refrigiators do you have?

  the brother told him "i have 3 refrigiators full".

  The WTS use of internet has dramatically changed

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since when is the so called "new light" (about the fds) published on the news-section of the officially website jw.org instead of in the study edition of the watchtower?

  the wts use of internet has dramatically changed.

  strange effect of this new "marketing" policy is that the annual meeting news at jw.org only available is for english speaking people with a computer and an internet connection.

  But, conclusion of this topic, this is the first time that new light is officially published beyond the Watchtower publication.

  I have so many story's about our congregation. So there was one elder who was secretly spying other witness in christmas time. He looked into the window of their houses to see if there was a christmas tree!! He visited our home later (I was a child) and watch the back gate / port of the garden. "Splended" he told us loudley, "here can you escape when Armageddon starts!".

  i recently registered to vote in california and will be going to the polls on election day to experience what many americans do as soon as they turn 18. i could mail in my ballot, but i want to check the whole scene in-person.. .

  i posted this info on another forum recently and have been told that i'm as good as da'd if i'm discovered.

  i'd like to pose this question here since jwn gets much more traffic.

  I voted this year for the second time in the Netherlands elections. I'm still JW, but not active in field service. I did it at an busy public place. I told nobody about it.

  Still I hoped that some JW noticed my voting, for starting the discussion about the WT published in the 90's about JW allowing to vote.
