  Who Writes WT Study Articles?

  by monkeyman in

  ok, i have to admit that i thoroughly enjoyed the wt study yesterday nov 1 about adopting jesus' personality.. it was far from the ho hum studies that focuses on fs.. my question is..............who writes the wt study articles?

  this one was definitely written by someone other than the last 50 or so articles.. so is there anyone out there who knows how these articles are submitted.

  there is a famous article written back in the late 90's dealing with depression.

  Did You Ever Secretly "Sin" & The Elders Never Knew About It?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we, as elders, would every so often give a little talk about keeping the congregation clean and that if anyone felt the need to talk to us, to get whatever is bothering them off their chest, we would be readily available to them.

  you'd be shocked to see how many would tell us some naughty things they were feeling guilty about.. i'm sure there were plenty of smart people who simply kept quiet and didn't say a word.. here's your opportunity to tell us what you wouldn't tell them..

  Living With Regret - what do YOU regret about being in the org?

  by babygirl30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1. getting baptized at 14 and not knowing what the heck i was 'signing' up for.

  2. dating worthless, lazy, no work ethic, selfish 'brothers' who were supposedly approved all because they were baptized - but in the end - were a waste of my time and younger years in dating.. 3. subjecting my bf (back in the day) who was a non-jw to the whole jw experience!

  i demanded that he study, i demanded that he change his religion in order to be with me, i made him sit with my parents and listened to them berate him (and myself) while they fed him all their haughty beliefs and requirements in order to date their jw daughter.

  the trangression (sin) causing desolation has a lot to do with the new covenant and .......... holy spirit.. .

  after all jesus christ said he would forgive our sins and so what is the transgression guaranteed to cause desolation.. .

  Has an elder ever made a difference in your life?

  by monkeyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i've read a lot of horror stories out there about outrageous shepherding calls so i know they exist.

  i've also been on several and received 2.. however, as an elder i thought i was pretty capable at helping people and making a difference in their lives.

  i've had people tell me so over and over which was quite comforting to me after i was unceremoniously removed.. so here's my question......has anyone out there ever been the recipient of the kind of loving care from elders that made a positive difference in your life?

  True Faith Jehovah's Witnesses

  by RR in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some of you may be aware of the jw offshoot in the 1940s after the judge died, they call themselves true faith jehovah's witnesses and are essentially jw's in every way, shape and form, wiwth some minor differences.

  found this on you tube, from one of their conventions:.

  We Want You Back

  by Dune in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i'm sitting at my desk at work when my cell phone rings.

  i've been faded for over 3 years now and i'm way beyond the point where i didn't answer my phone and dreaded any knocks on my door.. anyway, i answer and it's an elder from my old congregation.

  he went on about how he was pretty much going down his list of names of inactive/ and was wondering if he and another elder could come by for a visit.

  Consolation on Demand

  by chasson in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have a lot of consolation magazines that i could scan.. if you want a particular issue for research, tell me and i will scan it, and you can tell to the board more what are your research, so everybody will have more insight.. .

  here is one of this magazine concerning the madison square garden incident.

  this incident is connected with the olyn moyle's trial and it is interessant to see the vision of rutherford concerning this.. he tried in this magazine to excuse the usher, because what he said on stage was "the word of jehovah", so nobody must stop the "spreading of the word of god".
