we had our co visit and on his second talk he mentioned we need to be a pillar and support of the truth.
we can do this by accepting and working with all the changes, refinements and the speed of jehovahs organisation moving forward.. he listed the refinements and changes that occurred in the last couple of years:.
1- study edition of wt - allows the society to use more meaty articles and not worry about non jws understanding them.. 2- public edition of wt and awake.
I think they really pooped their pants about 2014 about two years ago. They decided to change a bunch off stuff simply to look busy and keep the troops wondering what's next.
These US internationals are a stroke of genius as well. JWs foaming at the mouth over it on social media.
i just got done with the first day of the rc!
freaking delusion!!
propaganda films a go-go!!
Glad you are amused by it all. Get ready though, next you will start to realize there is no way in hell that you can tolerate this stuff for 20, 30, 40 years or however many years you have left on this earth. That is what forced me out for good.
Was the revisionist history book released today? Looking for some reviews on that.
just wanted to show the activity in downtown detroit from the convention.
trafic is on jam!.
lots of people .
Why are they leaving invitations on the seats for people who are already there?
The freaking things this cult does continues to amaze me

.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.
instead of preaching and saving people??.
Wow it is down!
Now why would they do a thing like that?
wt is retiring district overseers, has sent older jws serving at bethel packing despite years of faithful service, and as of june 1, 2014, has announced that any elder that has reached 80 years of age is no longer valued or wanted as a cobe.
in wt land it would appear that older people have little or no value, and wt sees no reason to use them in any meaningful capacity.
i wonder how this makes older ones feel after devoting their lives to wt's interests while shelving their own hopes and dreams?.
I know there have been rumors about the WT using an outside marketing consultant, I wonder if they are true.
A lot of these changes may be in response to a firm looking at them and saying "you are too old, young people do not like this"
is coming and the elder wanted to set up a visit.
it's not like i wasn't warned.
there was a thread that talked about the push to call on inactive ones.. thanks to the heads up here, i knew the motive for the call.. i don't think i even know that eld.
If they do get a hold of you act really pissed about the call at work. Tell them your employer doesn't allow you to conduct personal business at work and it really was out of bounds for him to do that!

Whaaat??? Dude leads off with all of the things that will be destroyed 'soon' by Jah. How does that make any sense?
And the delegates get to tour the Pen where the GB was imprisoned? Wow, persecution complex much?
the current jehovah's witnesses official child abuse handling procedure letter to all bodies of elders (october 1, 2012) has been placed into public domain by the australian (victoria) government "inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious oganisations".. official government web site link to letter:.

short link:.
Ha! Isn't this the letter they got all uptight with Cedars' about and filed a DCMA against him? What are they gonna do now? Cry to the government of Australia?
Any lurkers pay close attention to point 13, the elders have their hands tied by the branch by telling them only they can determine who is a 'predator'. How they do this from thousands of miles away is beyond my comprehension. Thus, elders aren't allowed to warn parents unless 'mother' says its OK to do so.
Sick pedo protecting religion.
i am a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, and i have written a heavily-documented response to the official magazine of the jehovah's witnesses, awake!, that claims to teach what we believe.
i saw an article from last year's watchtower about a guy who had barely been mormon for very long, and obviously did not know what we believe, who was given this magazine by jw's to show him "the truth.
" he claims to have proven to himself that it was true from information on the lds church's website.
You've reached a board mainly filled with ex-JWs, to if you are looking to preach at active JWs, I'd suggest calling your local Kingdom halls.
You can also go on over to jwtalk.net and preach to active JWs all you want.
the waters are drying up!
a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.
that's less than $2 a publisher!
The thing is, it doesn't matter how smart/dumb a person is when they are involved in a cult, and under mind control. We all know "smart and intelligent" people who will go to the grave believing in the WTS.
So we ask, why?
Because intelligence doesn't matter when you are under mind control. Like Magnum's friends, who may know something isn't quite right, but they can't quite get out, because they don't want to lose their position, or their family, or friends, or simply are just comfortable giving up a portion of their lives because they 'feel important' because they give talks out every month and ten people come up to them afterwards and thank them for giving the talk.
That is why all of this talk about the cult crumbling into oblivion is just plain bull. It won't go away because of simply human nature. People want to feel important as one of their primal needs, and the WTS fulfills that need. Being a soldier of Jah is very high on the list of being an important person, no matter how much you fail in every other aspect of life...
