  big accident at Warwick construction site

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower

  the wt society is fond of using the tilt-up method of construction where a network of rebar is made on the ground, concrete poured on it and allowed to cure, then the whole thing is tilted up and voila' you've got yourself a massive big-ass wall ready made.

  these walls for several stories-high buildings are indeed massive and weighty so you need a heavy-duty crane to raise into position.. i just heard from an eye-witness ldc volunteer that while there a few weeks ago they had an enormous accident.

  the crane tilted and crashed, the only one hurt was its operator.

  I know, I would be 13 years old for this '86 convention. I remember those submarines, frozen choc pudding, frozen juice, danish. I was so psyched-out that the 'end' was here because of 'true peace and security', sitting in that arena.. Alllllll these years later......huge disappointment.

  Will Elders Still Perform Marriages If The Sister Doesn't Marry At Least A Ministerial Servant?

  by minimus in

  based upon the last big meeting this past weekend, would it be proper for an elder to perform a wedding ceremony if the brother is not at least a mini servant?.

  it could be that this 'faith testing' announcement may have been directed to females not marrying any brother over 23 who is not yet a ministerial servant.

  AGM 2014 - How are faders gonna hide in plain sight anymore?

  by tootired2care in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so two big changes in the org were announced in the most recent agm.. local needs part is replaced by "how do you know the truth" where all members will tell their experience (oh what fun).

  basic pioneer role 10 only hours a month required (see, jehovah lightens our load, therefore he loves only us)!.

  it seems like they have really turned up the heat here.

  yeah, yeah, it all makes sense now. With those watchtower studies last year of ''doing something which may not seem reasonable from a human standpoint'' or to that effect, yeah, yeah, I get it now. Those songs about ''always ready to obey'' , or '' listen obey and be blessed'' I get it now. They were simply beating it into the flock about doing whatever they are told. This will include mandatory testimonials from the flock including more leverage from the elders to meet 10 hrs a month, or be labelled as an apostated.

  yeah, yeah, I get it now, it just all makes sense. Repetitive music songs like ie, ''obey'', ''obey'', ''obey and be blessed''. Music is a very, very powerul tool when it's drummed into your head almost every meeting by who you believe is God inspired. They were merely drumming up the emotions of the flock to follow more and more instructions. I get it now, yeah, it just is starting to make sense now, it's almost scary, or creepy or something.. yeah, it's starting to make sense

  Nov 2014 WT, much about nothing, or is it?

  by Quarterback in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the article "why we must be holy" ties in obedience as being holy.

  there is a subheading in this article that states " prove yourselves holy by being obedient".

  par 9 quotes three brothers who had some conflicts, but they went along with the org.

  the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

  "at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

  yeah, I've been told by CO's and DO's over the last few months that there is a ''whopper'' coming down the pipe, they didn't say what time frame, but it would shake the ground to the average dub,lol

  I agree that 100 years of kingdom rule and little or nothing happening will of course cause a tide of doubt and the Governing Body has to implement some kind of curb to prevent that from happening.

  you don't say why you are inactive.. if you can control your tongue and not blurt out anything you have learned about ttatt, then perhaps no harm in agreeing to a visit if you feel the need to be polite and cooperative.

  no doubt, they will inquire as to why you are inactive.. don't you know it's the truth(tm)?.

  don't you know the end(tm) is close?.
