Bibles out of stock at Bethel?

by nochoice in

our congregation is rationing regular bibles like they're gold bars.

i was told that bethel is out of stock!

anyone else hear about this?

oppostate

I think I posted here before about some of the traveling servants

and members of the Governing Body sporting the grey leatherette

and silver color gilded/edged new Bibles.

They are the size of the bi-12 but fatter since they include the appendix

materials found in the reference bibles.

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME.....let's rebuild!

by Terry in

okay we've all beat our chest, lamented and throttled the dead horse of aawa.. time to move on!.

i suggest those of us on j-w.n who care about creating something the right way take the trouble to get the framework going.. let's do the grunt work and get the nattering, debates, naming and organizing already pre-approved so that "others" who have the talent, ability, motivation and resources can move in and turn the key!.

because it was not done before.. there is more wisdom on this discussion board in our vast numbers than there could possibly be in a virtual boardroom with 8 people brain-storming.. that isn't an insult--it is just a statistical fact!.

What do you say?

Terry, the idea of a concerted effort to mail bomb Bethel is good.

It would work out to the advantage of the senders to forward the letters to individuals in the Branches and not just to some department or group, like the Governing Body.

It is more likely, that a Bethelite will open up a letter, realize what kind of a letter it is and yet... intrigued by curiosity read it and be exposed to TTATT.

In order for this to work out well we'd need lists of names or positions in Bethel.

Another idea that may help is sending some of the mail using the type of envelopes that are used for DF/DA forms for the Society, that is those lightblue-greenish envelopes. They get special treatment and aren't opened by your R&F bethelite.

I like your thoughts on this Terry.

TTATT always looked like "pi alpha pi" to me :-)

(i.e. instead of "tau tau alpha tau tau")... TTATT.

It not only stands for "the truth about the truth"

but can also be "the truth about the Tower"

Being in the "Greeks" of the WT, the unwanted

Gentiles, those whose times have ended for the

WT.

As opposed to the JWs who see themselves as

Spiritual Hebrews and bound by the laws of their

lesser Moses Governing Body.

TTATT (pi alpha pi) sort of like PAP... could lend

itself to testing and smearing the Watchtower

Society. (Alright! that was uncalled for)

CO says GB can't and won't be blood guilty that's why new light is shining

by oppostate in

jw
friends

our new co, who's name sounds something like brother prosboscis, said that the governing body cannot and will not be held bloodguilty because they are advancing new light and that their effort to bring forth "truth" proves they love the "truth".. i couldn't help but think of the false "truth" of blood transfusions and how holding on to this teaching truly makes them gulty and accountable, drenched in the blood sacrifice of innocent victims that believed their false "truth", shame on them for calling falsehood a "truth" and for calling good what is bad.. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is responsible for the loss of lives due to their teaching their followers to refrain from blood transfusions.

thousands have probably died from following this teaching.. ===============.

those governing body zombies don't want or care about your souls what they really want is your flesh and your blood.. can we have someone with good photoshop skills do an artistic representation of the new 2013 gb photo exposing their bloodguilt?.

There are no non-annointed Christians (Great crowd)

by Hortenzie in

this is a direct quotation from wt july 15 article "feeding many through the hands of a few" par.

"remember, in his prophetic illustration of the wheat and the weeds, jesus warned that a newly planted field of wheat (anointed christians) would be oversown with weeds (imitation christians).

the groups, he said, would be allowed to grow side by sideundisturbed until the harvest, which would come at a conclusion of a system of things.

oppostate

Ask any questions and I'll expand on it.

No! Lars! Please no! No questions here no need to expand. Thank you very much.

Actually didn't even read the stuff you pasted. Long posts are too tedious and un-readable, somehow off-putting even.

Active/Fading JWs...How Many Have Been DFd in Your Hall in the Last Year?

by LostGeneration in

jw
friends

my jw wife came home really upset a couple weeks back.

someone was "announced" at the hall that she really loves, a young woman.

it was the fourth person dfd from her hall since the beginning of 2012. two young people, one single mother, (those three probably for "sex crimes" but i don't know 100%) and one ms, which is the most interesting from my perspective because i knew the guy to always be a rebel, and i suspect it was for apostasy or he dad.

oppostate

The congo I attend is about two hours away from a major city. We've had 6 df's in the last year. Just recently two teenagers aged 16 and 17, both females were df'ed. One just came back from staying with relatives in Alaska, her Dad was an MS and was reproved. The other was baptized less than a year ago. An older brother who's been in the Hall since the 70's just got df'ed as well in 2013, for "violent anger" issues (read alzheimers) he used to be a logger and then worked in a saw mill, he lives on Social Security and used to get rides to the meetings.

Congregation had to relocate Memorial...thanks to me

by Shepherd Book in

so, the two local congregations were planning to hold their memorial together at 7:30 at the local community center, but they had to make a last-minute change to their own hall, and i'm pretty sure it was because of me.. let me explain.... at work on monday afternoon, a co-worker returned from her lunchbreak and showed me the memorial invitation that was waiitng in her door when she went home for lunch.

i noticed the sticker on the back indicated the memorial was being held, not at the local hall, but at the community center.

from a past (non-jw) event i attended there, i knew they didn't allow alcohol (unless you pay for security guards), so i wrote to the center's coordinator:.

oppostate

LOL!

Dear ShepherdBook I applaud your wherewithall!

You inconvenienced them because they sought to get around the rules to use a public place.

If they insist on their own rules being followed to a T then they should likewise follow a community center's rules.

I see no problem with that and if the "Quiet One" likes to make noise about it then s/he's making an oxy-moron of him/herself.

did someone post already about this girl flipping off the judge?

by cptkirk in

i think normally i would be with the judge all the way....but i think it was clear that the girl thought it imprudent to tell the entire court how much jewelry she owned?

her mannserisms for being in a court room were somewhat strange, but at the same time we are dragging these kids into court over what?

because they want to use xyz substance?

oppostate

She disrespected the judge by not taking seriously the dignity of the court and playing games with the "Adios" bit, she knew he had a Spanish accent and that's why she said it.

It may have been a hard lesson for her to finally get, but you can't disrespect a judge and think you can get away with it.
