  my local cong just donated all money (4k +) on deposit with you know who to, you know who.

  "since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them.

  " is exactly how it was presented to the r&f.

  I think you're on something here. The 'truth' basically sets everything up for couple and families. What I've noticed is almost a passive hostility toward singles, especially those over the 25-30 age group. The way they treat singles is just downright deplorable, like that of being invisible or nonexistant.

  I don't know. But it really makes a person wonder what's up with all the pushing for donations in the last little while. To the point of even asking children for money instead of buying an ice cream cone, makes one think. I'm sure that most of the R & F are thinking, I hope.

  yes, I watched it too!!

  very, very influential video for children. I'd say between the ages of 4-12, this video is very moving, enticing.

  As adults though, I say it's very disturbing to try to influence kids this way, almost sickening.

  big accident at Warwick construction site

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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

  2. friends

  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
