Hi

did you set up an account with: http://en.gravatar.com/ ?

It can take some time to change, it even changed itself back once, but seems to work now.

as one can see by my avatar

Anybody Know What Presiding Overseer's are Being Told at Bethel School ?

by flipper in

i guess there is a special training school going on for presiding overseers according to my jw mom.

my elder brother went back there for a week training session .

he explained that they are doing this training first in the united states only for presiding overseers and if it works out well - they'll implement it across the world in other countries.. apparently he stated that the training they are getting is very detailed and to the point.

how do you move on?

doing well, being constructive, moving this life in the right direction.. but then,.

a scent.. a taste.. a joke.. a vision.. a smile.. and everything comes crashing back into yesterday, looking into the past while moving into the future.

perhaps it's a mental illness to be guarded against, alone..

I Have a Theory - It Will Make The Society Tons of Cash

by Sam Whiskey in

jw

i have long held theory that the society can easily cease it's printing operations and increase it's profit margins.

follow this scenario.... as we all know, the printed word and accompanying illustrations in the wt and awake can be converted to pdf format (pdf is a format that can be locked so that the recipient cannot change the contents) upon the completion of each individual magazine.

it would therefore be very easy for the society to email or to put up on a server the wt and awake for retrieval by the presiding overseer of each congregation.

Are you sure you are on the right site for making that statement?

Did You Exit the Witnesses Due to Injustices / Difference with Doctrine-Both?

by flipper in

jw
friends

many of us leave due to injustices committed inside the organization.

i did initially.

i had doubts about some doctrines for years - but not until after leaving the witnesses was i free to be able to confirm my suspicions and see that yes, i did have valid reasons to have doubts all those years .

No it was just so Bloody Boring, & damn it all! I even tried going back in 2001-2002, didn't last long.

Everything else I have learnt about (most) since then.

Opened a Watchtower Today!

by treadnh2o in

it's been a few years, i had some time to spare and it was there.

not considering the actual message, here is what hit me, hard:.

the font is larger than that used by any secular publication that one would consider intellectual.. the language is so basic that it would bore the educated but would be embraced by those who were "simple" or perhaps mentally challenged.it alsowould not promote thinking as their was so little substance.. i then checked an awake and it is much the same.
