How to talk to former Witnesses about their beliefs.

by Vanderhoven7 in

mark jones writes.

there have been only a handful of occasions where a jehovah’s witness has successfully engaged me in respectable conversation with mutual respect.

one such person started off like this and (unfortunately) has become an angry little man over the years.

Sometimes the best way to debate any JW whether it's a current/former JW is just by using the bible.

I think circuit overseers should have a job like the apostle Paul

by forzaitalia in

am i being mean, thinking that travelling overseers should get a part-time job like paul did, in order to not be a burden to the congregation?

i wouldn't put my hand up when we were asked to raise it if we were happy to give £50 from congregation funds to the c.o.

so that he could take his wife out for a meal.

""Bethel's getting closed down soon and the KHs won't be available for the CO apartments either""

KH's with built-in baptism pools, built-in kitchens can easily be converted to a homeless or community shelter.

with the change to reporting field service and now allowing people to repent during the gt, presumably up until armageddon, i'm assuming that the "hailstones" message is now permanently on hold.

can someone explain this to me; am i understanding this right?.

It's hard to imagine how they could back-peddle from this, ,, should the Borg if/when promote a ''kindler,gentler'' religion.

My guess is the onlly time this would/could take place if the Borg is going bankrupt and has no choice,,,but in a hail-marry attempt to retain membership.

Real reasons behind this change?

by Gorb in

just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

Pioneers will have now an even more elevated ego.

Thought on “0 hours” reporting

by FFGhost in

so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.

beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.

the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

Reduction in numbers and victims,,,I mean publishers cant mean they are "blessed"

"The GB have basically painted themselves into a corner on this one.""

And once they do this,,,they cant go back. They cant backtrack. It can only happen once

Circuit overseers.

Here's a guy who has likely never worked a day in his life or had a real job,,,ever.

Probably never changed a tire on a vehicle.

Nor applied for a loan.

And the $heeples fear and listen to this guy like he's a God send???

I just don't get it.

The JWs reach retirement age totally unprepared.

Why? Do you think the Borg ever prepares people for retirement?? Hnm?

What,,,is the Borgs constant message??? Its gloom and doom fear-mongering Armageddon is imminent.

JWs are victims

Information is readily available at anyone's finger tips. To dismantle this indoctrination.

Agreed,,,its hard to feel sorry for indoctrinated JWs,,,anymore.

No more preaching work soon?

by BoogerMan in

another new light coming soon?

"our preaching work is done, we now await jehovah's final message to mankind.

(revelation 11:3) "i will cause my two witnesses to prophesy for 1,260 days dressed in sackcloth.. .

Sell everything you have like homes,,property and vehicles.

Cash in your retirement funds.

Cash in your stocks and bonds.

Hand over everything to the Borg.

""You no longer need them.""

And,,I believe some will be stupid enough to believe all this.
