  What happened in 1995?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was born in 1984 so was only 9yo in 1995. i read on various posts on here and on other websites about false expectations about 1975 and 1995. i'm aware of the 1975 failure but what was said in 1995?.

  And the rank and file got the blame. "Some witness thought that" and "some witness expected that...".

  Warning: A. Vogel (JW-run organization) treatments popping up in the US

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i've noticed a few of my local grocery stores are stocking a. vogel homeopathy products.

  a. vogel is a company ran primarily by jehovah's witnesses, the "brains" behind the operation, alfred vogel, has since died but he claimed to be one of the anointed.

  the bolle family (co-founders of the company) is a well-known, (now very wealthy) family in the netherlands and there have been significant "contributions" in the past from the company to the watchtower organization.. alfred vogel was a well-known conman, he claimed blood transfusions would change someone's personality, he claimed to have studied native american herbal healing methods... from a native american tourist photo-op actor.

  Old news I think. Vogel was in reorganization some 10 years ago and the change manager was a former leader of the Catholic party here. So I think the JW connexxion is no more.

  i heard this expression very often and even said it often myself.

  now that i am out, i realize this isn't always the case.

  there were many times i was going out in service saturday morning and couldn't wait for 12:00 to come along so that we could go swimming, bicycling, play basket ball, go to the beach... .

  What would happen when the man on the picture below, would ring the bell at 1. Kings drive in Texudo. "Can we help you?" the guard asked with a routine smile on his face. "Maybe I can help you, I presume?" the visitor said quietly. "Please tell your brothers that the Master has arrived". The guard's face changed and asked "sorry, I have to look at the visitor list, Master was the name is it? Company name JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs?" The visitor said calm: "My name is Christ, also known as Yeshua". The guard with jw.org logo on his corporated dress, said with clear voice "sorry mister Christ, we don't expect you or someone from your Master corporation today. Please make an appointment with your contact again. Please visit jw.org for contact information".

  Is there a risk using jw library app on cellphone

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a question about the use of the jw library app on your cellphone.. the app is mainly used by jw and maybe interested people.

  in this world of big data, and less privacy, any government can track users of this app.. it's no problem when there is nothing at stake.. but, many governments, even the more secular like france and germany, have made restrictions for jw's.. what if you are a government official and jw?

  do you want to be tracked for being one?.

  Maybe I see things not right. But for Russia, it's easy to track jw library users on their cell phone.

  What do you think about it?

  Watchtower Doctrines JWs most commonly don't believe

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there was a recent thread on another site where posters maintained that many of the *most* long-standing jw's don't believe at least one official watchtower doctrine.

  i've even read reports from bethelites saying they've heard bethel overseers say they don't believe some watchtower theology.

  this made me think - i believe there are a few official doctrines that are common for many jw's to be either in denial about or simply not really believe ( often one and the same thing).. i'd say these are pretty high in the ranking:.

  @pete, you are right. Before 1975 they did believe it for real and quit hobs and cancel vacations.

  Now they have more an attitude of "you never know...".

  It's mainly a social structure now.

  This kind of training is a communist method of counsel and disapproval.

  Use the format of us, if you don't we will train you to do so.

  Watchtower study today - best practice in word

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  due to family reasons gorby was present today.. the watchtower study was about refugee's.. how to treat refugee's, jw and non believers, and help them spiritual, not financial.

  nothing new.. what i mentioned is the juridical message underneath the whole story.

  don't talk politics, listen to government regulations etc.. most bizar is that a whole congregation that normaly avoid giving any aid to people in need, this morning gave the best practice in word about what to do with refugee's.. if the subject was not that serious, this hypocracy could be funny.

  DY missed my point and makes it personal. Experience influenced my attitude. Attitude is ok.
