  Needed Organizational Changes for WT

  by Kosonen in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am concerned about the spiritual welfare of the jehovah's witnesses.

  surely we all have noticed an unhealthy development in their leaders attitude, the "governing body".

  they have more and more begun to emphasize their importance and their power, in the literature and talks and thereby drawing unnecessary much attention to themselves.

  Binadub,

  You may be inquiring in response to a question about the Sacramento area Kingdom Halls that I submitted to an online Ex-JW group. The main story that has come to the front has been Menlo Park. Blondie's quotes describe the basics very well, but they obviously do not discuss the backroom politicking and manipulations that go on. They also do not describe the fact that in certain areas the local JWs do not want to give up their Kingdom Halls, they do not want to merge with another Hall several miles away, they do not want their elders removed, replaced, or reassigned. But the Watchtower, through the RBCs, just bulldozes over any local preferences. Many local brothers and sisters suffer in many ways (loss of elder privileges, inconvenience, travel expenses, etc.).

  dear friends,.

  i would like to thank those who have helped me.

  as a result, important legal precedents have been made and a lot of media coverage has been made which has exposed the watchtower society.

  for those of you that have been following the ongoing story of the forced take over of the menlo park, california kingdom hall, please go to:.

  i'm sorry, the article is still a little rough and still needs a lot of editing, but i wanted to get it up by today at the latest.

  I am in the process of loading two large documents that have been submitted to the federal court. Unfortunately, my computer is really on its last legs and a new one that was suppose to arrive by Friday didn't make it. (I believe it was delayed due to the horrific tornadoes that rolled through the midwest USA early last week).

  Check Ex-JW.com later Sunday night or early Monday for the new article. If it doesn't show, that means my computer expired. I'll try to keep everyone informed by updating JWN through my Droid.

  If I can get these documents up this weekend, I guarantee that many of you who've been following this case will be quite suprised at how complete they are. They really fill in the details of the Menlo Park story better than I could in a lifetime.

  Sweeney, you have a PM - or will have as soon as I can get it up.

  That was a classic, Sweeney! I'd start reading JW books again if you were in charge of the Writing Department.

  Rick Perry, governor of Texas? He was going to secede from the Union just before the election in 2010. The man, like Bush, is totally owned and operated by the Texas oil cartel.

  LURKERS: Is JW the only true religion? Here is my personal research!

  by mentallyfree31 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are jehovah's witnesses the only religion teaching the truth?.

  the statement that only jehovah's witnesses are teaching the truth is an extraordinary claim.

  such a claim would require extraordinary evidence.

  Excellent comment, nugget!

  Sometimes I wonder if these trolls even read what they've written. What exactly did 1pnt say?

  I got this message through a contact form on my website. I read it every so often when there's nothing good on TV...

  "Jehovah winnesses are THE true RElgion! I know cause they told me to. They are the onlie ones Jehovah talks to and it says so in the Watchtower. Sometimes in the Awake to! All other trinity and hellfire religions are false religions and thats because they dont understnd the bilbe like our slave class does. I know JW is the right religion becasuse I fell so good going to meetings and being around other Jehovah lovers. You are all ingorant and will miss out on lving for ever in God's only kindgom that came in 1914. I feal sorry for you, but I dont'"

  So sad...

  CULT FREE RADIO on Saturday, May 28 at 10pm Eastern Time

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on the next cult free radio show we will discuss how and why the watchtower society controls more than just behavior, information, thoughts, and emotions.

  they also control your local kingdom hall building, the local jehovah's witness congregation's bank account, and whatever other valuable assets they can get their corporate hands on.. how do they do it?

  why do the local witnesses let them?

  I don't know if anyone has brought this up so far, but I have two questions:

  Scenario One:

  What if there are not enough "anointed" to complete a full set of Governing Body members? What if all the remaining anointed ones are in rest homes or in hospice, or are Altzeimers patients, or are simply alive but otherwise brain dead? Will members of the Great Crowd of Other Sheep no longer be sheep, but actual members of the Slave Class?

  Scenario Two:

  What happens if the number of partakers (especially among the older brothers and sister who have been faithful for 25 years or more all decide that they are specially chosen, quit having visions of New Earth human existence and realize that they too have the heavenly hope) begin to climb each year to an unsupportable number, like say 100,000? Or maybe even 144,500? Then what is the Watchtower going to do? Say that the apostles and early Christians are really part of the Great Crowd because they didn't really understand the Bible as well as modern Jehovah's Witnesses do?

  I am quite sure that at some point the Watchtower will come out and admit that the 144,000 is a symbolic number using 12X12X1000 to show that the number was special, like 7X70 and 7000 years, etc. I think they will make this change within the next few years. That will really be freeeeking NOO LITE!
