  My father's funeral

  by jwfacts in

  2. experiences

  last week i attended my father's funeral in hobart.

  i was the first time i have been in a kingdom hall in several years, and many years since i had attended the hall of my childhood, but felt like it was just yesterday.

  the funeral talk was quite a departure from normal, so worth writing about.

  New court docs for Menlo Park KH scandal

  by Juan Viejo2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i've been fighting computer problems for over a week, but i finally got a new article up at ex-jw.com about the status of the court case in san francisco.. the plaintiffs will be going to court this week and possibly again in ten days.

  the big issue is the bank account statements and signature files.

  plaintiffs claim that defendants opened up unauthorized bank accounts and allegedly forged the then current coboe / ceo's signature.

  Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower

  by Jeremy C in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.

  last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.

  one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

  Jeremy was kind enough to let me adapt it for my new site. Check it out http://insidethewatchtower.com/doctrine/why-young-people-are-leaving/ .

  Jeremy definitely has a gift and I hope he'll submit more of his wisdom and experiences here and over at ItW.com and Ex-JW.com. I'm sure he love to red your comments on this little gem of his.

  Does anyone know what the Watchtower's corporate ladder would be like?

  by dgp in

  i was wondering if anyone knows how a brother would make his way up to the governing body.

  in my (worldly) opinion, there has to be something like a corporate ladder to climb.

  does anyone know what the "procedure" would be?.

  Elder Involvement — Graphic … Conclusion

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i added to my blog page 13 of the 13-page submission by a doctor of psychology that is a watchtower appointed elder.

  i also added the documents bibliographic page.

  he had ideas about elder involvement with jehovahs witnesses suffering mental illness, and particularly victims of child abuse, and thought it best to share these with watchtower.

  Yes, Marvin, you've got a problem. Get rid of the dark patterned background and just go with white or a very light gray color until you can get it fixed. I've looked at it with IE0, Firefox, and Chrome and all of the regular text is very small and with black text simply disappears into the back ground.

  My Father passed away during the night

  by jwfacts in

  dad was a great man, great, despite the religion.

  he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.

  he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

  Sorry to hear that Paul. My condolences to you and and your family. Sounds like he was a reasonable man trying to serve God the best way he could.
