Who else had to sit though last weeks WT study, 6th Jan 2019 - "Buy Truth and Never Sell It"

by skin in

that title, “buy truth and never sell it”.

is that not our goal has jw’s, to try to sell the truth to those who have the right heart condition to accept it?.

para 9: “when the fishermen peter and andrew were invited by jesus to become “fishers of men,” they “abandoned their nets.” (matt.

So happy to miss this nonsense since fading.

It's all made up for their own purpose.

when i first seen this website i actually thought it was a jw website hence the home page and not an ex jw website and i posted a topic thinking people were real witnesses then i quickly discovered it was not and all these people were commenting and embarrassing me and i couldn’t even delete the thread.

then i asked the admin to delete it and i said it was very misleading saying it’s a jw page and he’s like are you serious i deleted your topic and now you are attacking me and it clearly says ex jw page.

he was very rude and btw no where does it say ex jw and you should be able to delete your own threads you start.

Elders encouraging young ones to live in a fairy tale

by Addison0998 in

so one of the elders at the meeting tonight addressed to parents in his talk, “if your child wants to flip burgers for the rest of their life, because that’s is the only job that will allow them to have a schedule for full time service, you would want to support them the best you can.” he has also said told parents that if their children already have plans to go to college, even in the near future, they should try to do everything to stop them.

there’s so much ranting i could do about that alone, but to make matters worse, this is a considerably well off man.

he has his own buisness, a nice house with an additional room he added on last year, and him and his wife just took a lavish european trip.

Take the doctor Luke for example instead of Jo Publisher.

WT Study October 2018....spinning ''layoffs'' into ''reassigning'' ex-Bethelites ''to the field''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

wt study october 2018. maintain inner peace despite changing circumstances.

lloyd and alexandra learn that they have been reassigned to the field, they at first felt sad.

after all, they had been serving at bethel for over 25 years.

Gorbatchov

The fact that this subject arives now in the magazine made clear that the layoff/ reorganization effect is a real problem.

It is just a business corporation.

Best life ever?!?

Simon's Forum Is More Than Just a Forum!

by Atlantis in

friends:.

simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.

it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.

Gorbatchov

What a lovely post. Yes, this is a great site and forum. Would not know what to do without it.

We are all in a same sort of situation, the forum gives me power to go on.

The Reasons for Cart Witnessing

by Simon in

whatever we think of it, you have to admit that it's quite "genius".. the door to door ministry as done in western developed countries where the jw quirky religion has probably reached their saturation level was a complete and utter waste of time in terms of the effort expended to recruit people.. at the same time, it was rarely something that anyone enjoyed which led to people being labelled as inactive, being pressured to doing more and maybe ultimately deciding jwism wasn't for them and leaving.. there was also the issue that many jws are actually pretty bad at knowing and articulating their beliefs so were pretty incapable of getting any meaningful message across.. they solved all this with the cart witnessing.

the real point isn't to recruit, it's to make life easier for jws.

now they can stand and chat with their friend, have a coffee, not talk to anyone or make eye contact and still act as a walking billboard for jw.org.

This is the translated quote:

“acknowledgment at the station is not for everyone, says Stet. "We are looking for representative people: young, well-dressed, a friendly smile, and just as cru: people are not convinced by a crippled old person.”

Here in Holland there was an article in a nation wide newspaper about the Cart replacing the house to house work.

One of the jw’s said: “there is a selection, because we don’t want an old age person behind the Cart it must look fresh”.

26 Years Later

i'm one of earliest adopters of the internet in discovering the real history of the watchtower.

back then it was the wild wild west with newsgroups being the primary sources of information.

then came watchtower observer, freeminds, and all the other sites that followed jwd was one of the later sites.

I remember H2O was my first JW information source site, and the MT technology website.

Early 1997 😬 omg.

November 2018 Watchtower study....attacking weak members, their personalities, and apostates

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower society always attempts to disprove or discredit valid arguments or statements by criticizing the ability of individuals to think, reason, ask tough questions and make their own decisions!

if they can't logically attack the message, they attack the messenger!!

the name calling of apostates or anyone who doesn't agree with all the wtbts flip-flops ( the light gets brighter) never stops!

Read that Rome is closing and will move to Bolognia.

Rome is worth a lot of millions.
