  canada bethel laying off ppl in shipping

  by jnrtigbfxd0 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so when the mags for north america + carribbean were to be printed in canada, canada bethel (aka georgetown) sent out notices to all disctrict conventions in 2008 that they need lots of help.

  i think the bethel family increased to over 400 with at least 50 new guys just for shipping.. however, now that the mags are only 16 pages, lots of those new guys are being layed off.

  the double shift (6-2,2-11) is now being combined into one shift (8-4/5 i guess).

  2. friends

  because i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.

  (weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.

  at the end i hated being there..

  When the MASH theme plays, I close my eyes and I feel like I am back at home in my living room with Mom and it's 1972 again.

  I know what you mean. For me, the theme marked my bedtime, 8:30pm. Hearing it makes me feel like I'm 4 years old again, getting ready for bed.

  LOL me too, maybe NOT 4 years old tho LOL like 13yrs

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses know what happened to them in 1954?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1954: the year jehovah's witnesses stopped worshiping jesus christ.

  watchtower charter: http://www.jehovah.net.au/books/1945_cha..._wtbts.pdf.

  did you know that from 1879 until 1954 the writings of c.t.russell, j.f.rutherford, nathan knorr and the watchtower's own charter all agreed that jesus christ was worthy of worship?.

  If solid proof were suddenly found that the Book of Enoch should be included in the standard Bible, would that pose a problem for the Jehovah's Witnesses in regards to Michael the Archangel as Jesus?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if the book of enoch (elaborates and gives mention to 6 more archangels) suddenly became part of the bible due to solid evidence, how would this effect the shakey jw doctrine of michael the archangel as being jesus?

  there are six other archangels mentioned in this book; could it be possible, if included in the jw bible, that one of the other archangels could be jesus?

  would they excuse it somehow and simply stick with their implicit understanding of jesus=michael?.
