  Why is it ok for witnesses to go to Church backed hospitals?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  if witnesses should "get out of babylon the great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from churches?.

  isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?.

  jw.org cart days numbered?

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower

  reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

  i bet its very minimal.

  naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

  Yes jookbeard they sent a letter both in the uk and the us about using up all old magazines on the trolleys etc and now that they are all undated they can still be used in 3 months or 3 years time cutting down as much as possible on anything that costs them money ie people have been talking about them not printing any magazines in the uk anymore and doing it from germany.So in the uk and the whole world i bet they have tried to make JWs more careful in giving magazines away and who they give them out to on the carts.They dont mind the publishers standing out on the carts filling their time just so long as they dont cost headquaters money

  Ps i can see them being kicked out by the uk charity commision not only because of what they might find with regards to child abuse BUT also the fact that at the moment the jws have took their fight with the comission right up to onr of the top uk courts, now i always thought that a charity was meant to be open and accountable and if you cant be that to a uk government appointed body then you are not doing your self many favours.What other charity do people know in the uk, that will not cooperate with body in charge.i can see some new light coming and most of the uk bethel will either be moved to germany or kicked out

  The JW org is a failed doomsday cult?

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  by its own mandate in the founding of the watchtower magazine in 1879, it was set up to proclaim the arrival of jc in the heavens according to the then currently failed adventist claim for jesus' return the year 1874.. russell's catalyst for all that came afterwards was his pet claim (in so many words) "aha but jc did in fact come... but came invisibly!

  " he added without sound evidence that it took four years for jc to come to rule from the heavens after his arrival there and that then was said to be in 1878. .

  within forty biblical years from the arrival date, russell promised, with hopes even higher than his bank account, that god’s kingdom with christ at the helm would rule the earth in the absence of all worldly opposition.

  well on this side of the planet, the southern hemisphere/ new zealand, the 2016 memorial service in local kingdom halls will be over for another year.

  another great big anticlimax.

  some family and relatives will have gone - but unless i ask my sister, i generally have no idea about attendance and partaker numbers.
