  John Hoyle--JWs go knocking on strangers’ doors and try to get inside homes to preach.

  WT rep--“We are slowly moving away from that kind of preaching work,”
  “We do more preaching by using literature carts and personal telephone calls.”

  The above quote is from John Hoyle's website:
  http://insidethewatchtower.com/doctrine/phone-calls-to-bethel-jw-org-email-and-contacts/

  It's interesting, isn't it? They are moving away from the house to house, not-at-home-to-not-at-home witnessing work. And the focus of the preaching work is moving towards using literature carts and phone calls.

  This change would defintely be a big change in the way the WT operates.

  How would you feel this change would affect the WT/JW organization?

  Man! This trailer looks depressing as all get out! And what's with the fake magazines "Kingdom" and "Truth!" instead of Watchtower and Awake! ???

  I'd like to watch the full documentary but the indie distribution channel doesn't make it easy. I'd rather it were available on Amazon.com even with a price attached not on Prime, or even Netflix.com streaming or DVD.

  Anyway, the trailer sounds very depressing. Being out mentally is depressing enough.

  It would be nice to have a trailer where folks who are out of the Org can vouch for a better life afterwards and an improvement in emotional and psychological well-being.

  Did anyone here attend the event in March? And what was your reactions to the screening of the movie?

  New David Splane Video: No 1900 Year Faithful Slave

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  governing body member david splane has a new video on tv.jw.org where he talks about all the horrible things committed by martin luther and the protestant reformers.. his conclusion is that there has been no faithful and discreet slave on the earth during the past 1900 years (before 1919 i guess.).

  he also says that maybe there were a few anointed on earth, maybe not.. he did add an interesting statement that he doesn't condemn the other churches just for misunderstanding the bible because the society has done that.. another odd point, was that he actually mentioned catholic missionary work in a somewhat positive light, while totally condemning the reformation views on predestination..

  What a bunch of bold faced $hitty smelling rubbish this guy is spewing! How many people did the Catholic inquisition maim, garroted, killed and burn at the stake?

  Luther may have read too much into scriptures like:

  Romans 8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
  (WEB ASV NAS RSV NIV)

  Romans 11:2 God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew.
  (WEB KJV ASV DBY WBS NAS RSV NIV)

  But Luther had the cojones to expose the selling of papal indulgences, papers forgiving sins by paying the Catholic Church. And he publicly posted the list of 95 theses on unscriptural practices by the Papists and thus igniting the Protestant Reformation. And along comes this WT/JW Gobbering Body member talking $hit! Unbelievable, freaking unbelievable!

  In next 50 years everyone in the world will be obese in sweatpants.

  People blessed with living in the U.S. just can't help being trend setters. It's part of living free.

  I'm sure ISIL "freedom fighting" ar$e hole$ are fit as all get out.

  Richard Dawkins espouses Militant Atheism: "Mock them, Ridicule them." Attack Religious People with Insults!

  by MagicMItchJensen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  richard dawkins has said frequently if we don't agree with religious or spiritual people we need to "insult them!

  " tell their their out of their "fucking gourds!

  " and make sure you really show them how stupid they are for believing in something they can't prove!".

  Well, if atheists are right about everything, then disprove someone's faith.

  Absence of proof isn't proof of absence.

  To ridicule what you think ridiculous doesn't make you right, and doesn't make you a scientist, it just makes you a ridiculer.

  If shunning was a conscience matter?

  what do you think the reaction would be?

  i would say a small portion (single digit) would walk.

  no loss for the borg, they weren't donating anyway.

  If they could get more money by doing away with DF'ing and shunning they would.

  But the likelihood of that is doubtful, they'd lose captives, and lose cash.

  hmmm, not too sure about that but all the recent re-branding seems to be heading .

  could this be the long game?

  "It's okay with me if the United States starts taxing us..."

  Of course, they'll use that as an excuse to ask the R&F for even more money.

  "No ice-cream for you!" Will say the ice-cream-nazi greedy-grabber Gobbering Body!
