  @Nebeska Nada

  Thanks for reposting the translation without the Spanish.

  It's more readable. By putting the original with the translation

  I'd hoped that if my translation was lacking, someone may

  pitch in and fix it.

  Anyway thanks.

  WITH LADY LEE IN, A NEWLY REBRANDED AWAA IS GETTING BETTER EACH DAY

  by Scott77 in

  looks like the awaa people are here to stay.

  i sense they have withered the rentless criticism and now have been refined for the long haul.

  they have been washed in the previous blood of jesus christ and declared fit to the fine fight.

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

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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!.

  The idea of demonstrating with signs isn't so appetizing for me.

  It makes me think of how the WT loves to say "look how we are persecuted for our beliefs".

  I believe the maximum effect is to aim at individuals, carefully.

  (1)is WTS greedy and heartless or (2) Sincerely trying to do the will of God

  by joe134cd in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my reading there seems to be 2 schools of thought and i am just wondering which one is correct.. (1)watchtower is a multi million dollar corporation that is making its money by fleecing its flock e.g k.h refurbs, giving preference to houses with an insurance cheque under the banner of emergency relief and pocketing the money from volunteer labour.

  to a lesser extent (although it wouldnt generate nearly as much money as the 2 examples above), getting kick backs from international conventions,charging for car parking when they got it for free, society approved motels that are grovels in the middle of no where.

  i do wonder how they can get away with this under the title of of a charitable trust, and i do at the very least think, this is cheeky.. it is cold and hartless and will roll anyone who gets in its way e.g menlo park elders.

  hey joe

  I think that it's both. It's a religion run by an oligarchy that is sure of it's righteousness and will do anything that is beneficial to its organization while combatting fiercely anything that may hinder its progress.

  The people in charge of it, over the decades, have changed it into a hive mentality organization.

  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.

  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)
