  Cong accounts analysis?

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  anyone on here an ex accounts servant?

  i’d be interested in a projection of what percentage of contributions come from elderly jw’s.

  i.e, money that will be diminishing over next 5 or 10 years as these ones pass on.. i estimate that in one of my previous congs 50% of the contribution totals of approximately £400 each month were being made by the over 70’s demographic.. within the other 50% were pioneers and low paid workers who put in regular but small amounts.. i guess when the accountants ring the alarm bells you start cutting the biggest costs; full time servants, buildings, printed literature.

  Yes, but when they passed on they may leave WT large sums that can generate interest for a long time

  Moses, Soloman spoke to the entire assembly of Israel...How???

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  moses spoke to the entire assembly deuteronomy 31:3, leviticus19:2 and exodus 16:9 no sound amplification, we must remember he was speaking to 2 million people.

  solomon in 2 chronicles spoke to thousands maybe millions, so how the hell did folks a mile away hear..you need a sound system for 200 folks in a close building in the kh.... moses, solomon and others had a great set of vocal cords.....

  Perhaps the message was repeated so that everyone could hear or more likely "the whole assembly" meant important people who then passed on the message to the other non-important people.

  a year ago i had a rough time and posted this .

  it was a controversial topic, some people got offended by my overly boastful tone, others offered help.

  i appreciate any kind of opinion and i try to correct the flaws in my personality.

  I think most of these people are doing it for the ironic value. Perhaps they wish to show that anything can be argued against even the most established facts.

  Who has a harder time leaving JW's - Born Ins or those who converted?

  by HeyLittleGirl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my freind (who is also out) and i were talking about this the other night.

  i was a born-in, 3rd generation jw and she converted when she was in her late 20's.. when she left, she said that she knew the world wasn't as bad as she was told as a jw, so she knew she would be fine.

  also, she still had lots of "worldly" family who welcomed her back with open arms.. it was harder for me - i had nobody in the "world", no family or freinds.

  I think it is harder for born ins because your whole life you've been told that "the truth" is the right way to live. Your family has told you that, your friends, the elders, everyone you are close to has said it at some point. In response, you have said the same and told others that "the truth" is the best life out there. And now if you want to leave you're going to disappoint a lot of people, who whether valid or not will feel like you either betrayed them or you were deceived by some wicked influence. They will never respect your decision because they have been taught that it's the worst decision you could ever make. They won't realize that it is the only decision you can make because you just don't believe it anymore and perhaps never really did.

  Damon Wayans was apparently at 2017 Annual Meeting

  by Richard_I in

  from this post on reddit.com/r/exjw, damon wayans was at the 2017 annual meeting.

  the wayans were raised as jw's but i don't think any of them stated.. strange to see him here.

  this is the same man who defended bill cosby from all the sex abuse allegations..

  Last Week's Watchtower had something that made people start questioning things?

  by silentbuddha in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just got a call from a friend who said that something in last weeks watchtower caused a number of people in various congregations to start questioning things, and several long time elders left.

  i am totally out of the loop but i do read things here and i heard of no such thing.. something to the effect that jw's and governing boobies are not inspired or something along those lines?.

  The story of Job really does illustrate how children and servants were thought of primarily as property of the family head. Satan couldn't touch Job but God allowed him to kill all his kids and servants. What did they do to deserve that?

  Hollywood messed up another one

  i am a big superhero fan and was looking forward to "the defenders".

  the first two episodes are great but then ... liberalism happens.

  one of the heroes (luke cage, big black guy) goes on this crazy rant, like a liberals wet dream of the bravehearth speech.

  @JW_Rogue: lol, guess I am a weak minded fool, my life would stop without Netflix! I guess an Internet forum is the place for the Ubermench to exersize his mind!

  LOL A little strongly worded, what I mean is if you are deriving your world view from TV then you're going to end up a follower of whatever agenda is currently being pushed. Entertainment is fine but some people confuse fictional narratives for real life.

  Television is for weak minded fools to help them regurgitate whatever bullshit is currently in fashion. There are many followers but only a few people willing to view things rationally and logically.
