  Elder's letter requesting details of solicitors, barristers and accountants

  by jwfacts in

  there was a letter sent to elders in australia on 18th november 2015 asking for details of publishers that are solicitors, barristers and accountants.

  what would be their motive for these details?

  the rest of the letter outlines 8 specific pieces of information to compile and send to bethel's legal department, and reiterates to collect the information only be "as you understand, without consulting the publisher.

  Hah! It makes me laugh! You should had heard the comments at yesterday's WT study about how bad a secular education is.

  And like with everything else they probably want them to work pro bono! The hypocrites!

  the fear mongering on social media continues.

  Maybe it was the negative comments. Maybe it was the pressure from elders to "cool it down". But some JW's are like trained attack dogs, ready to bite and tear at the targets of Momma WT's displeasure. Where's "let your light" shine Loesch talked about?

  Kingdom Farm in S Lansing NY sold for 2.8 million in March, 2015 - news article

  by dropoffyourkeylee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is probably old news and was commented about in early 2015, but the ithaca news reported on the 3/15 sale of kingdom farm in s lansing ny.

  this is the property that was directly across the road from the old gilead site, which had sold a number of years ago.

  but about 500 acres still was operated by the jws as kingdom farm.

  There was a huge investment in large farm machinery/vehicles at Kingdom Farm. I wonder where all the equipment has gone. Auctioned off? That must have brought in a pretty penny as well.

  As the majority of Witnesses, she probably exemplifies a gentle personality, and exhibits the quiet-and-kind demeanor that must be quite attracting for you. Don't fall for it, and if it's already too late and you've fallen, get over it.

  If not, well... I'm married to a very loyal JW and she is the kindest and nicest person but... when she feels I'm rejecting the cult she can be quite the tigress. You'll learn about the dark side of the cult if your relationship ever develops to a serious "courting" and "dating" level.

  If she does consent and dates you, she'll most likely feel guilty because she's going against what her cult says she should be doing.

  If you really care about her and you can't stay away, then try to get her to see the cult for what it really is, a scamming corporate realestate grabbing religious company that sucks the life out of its followers.

  Before you dive in head first and keep pestering her with your amorous attentions, read the book Crisis of Conscience to get a good idea of the JW reality behind the scenes (behind the curtain) it's a different kind of play back there and you won't like it.

  best wishes to you

  Is the JW Broadcasting having good results for the Org?

  by thewalker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when speaking with brothers, i can see they really like the jw.org site more than magazines and books.

  i can imagine them publishing more and more articles and news as it's more dynamic and creates a sense of alert with brothers looking for new articles to read instead of the boring monthly magazines.. but when it comes to the jw broadcasting, it's something different.

  even elders admit they aren't watching the monthly broadcastings.

  It is painful to watch the online broadcasts. in the latest explanation of the overlapping generation teaching the Bethel brother sounds very nervous and inexperienced
  http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/VODProgramsEvents/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_VIDEO

  I kinda feel bad for the guy having to go over this nonsense material. What a bunch of bull, and he tries to keep a serious face throughout. He even calls Splane's "explanation" of the overlapping generation "masterful", the brown noser!!!

  You said it, thewalker, it is indeed "disturbing" that the 0rganization keeps putting this trash as "spiritual food" for the proper time. It's well past the due date on that label, and needs to be discarded.
