  GB Spirit directed writing - October 2015 Awake

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the awake oct 2015 is now up on jw org.. one article talks about young adults returning to their parents home and tries to give them some advice.. one of the highlighted comments are these magical words.

  <<remember, more important than what you do is becoming proficient at what you do.>>.

  i don't see how it's more important to become more proficient in that window washing job than working towards a more interesting and better paying job.

  One girl left home at 24 years old and had to return home because she couldn't manage her money.

  24? Either a stay at home spoiled brat pioneer kid or a child of an overbearing micromanaging mother

  Pie (3.14), the sky , 144000 in this weeks bible reading.

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  calling the bible errant , because it gives pie as 3 ( measurement of copper basin) is not a good argument.

  15 feet from overhanging rim to rim in i kings 7:32 would give 47 feet in circumference, so: ( byington version) gives 45' for that smaller circle.

  but that line would not hang around the slippery rim, but stretch easily around the narrower lower neck.---.

  Those large number of sacrifices always baffled me.

  A lot of work is involved in killing 144,000 cattle in one day. Even a modern slaughterhouse does 34,000 animals per day.

  That’s What Happens When You Leave the Truth.

  by John Aquila in

  2. experiences

  it never failed, when someone got disfellowshipped or left the organization, their life became shambles.

  if married, a divorce ensued.

  if the person had a great job, the company would lay-off or close.

  The reason the religion tells horror stories about people who leave the Witnesses is to discourage those who want to exit! It is a defeat for them when people flee the religion.

  
  I'm sure North Korea says the same about people who flee to the south.

  by The Searcher in

  2. beliefs

  in view of the conti verdict of negligence by the org, are elders who are selected by the c.o.

  now in a precarious position?

  "charity trustees face potential liabilities in a number of ways.

  Each congregation should carry errors and omission insurance for their elder bodies.

  OK so the GB are shaming Bros who don't "reach out" but would they ever consider this?...

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i note on here the feedback from the currently ongoing conventions that the gb are heavily trying to guilt and shame any brothers who are not ms or elders.

  i agree with most posters who reckon this shows just how thin on the ground they are for ms and elders but... my question is.

  how comes that even though they are so desperate they still will not allow women to fill those roles?

  If they followed the scriptural requirements for ministerial servants and elders and not their own made-up-on-the-fly bullshit rules there would be a lot more elders and servants.

  Local Elders whip the Congregation into a frenzy about donating to the Organization

  by James Jack in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  because of the may broadcast about how funds are down, our elders have been in their talks "encouraging" or pressuring everyone to donate more to the world wide work.. it freaks me out how we already give them a set amount of $600 a month, plus what is contributed by the congregation(usually $400 to $500 a month).

  heck, our local congregation bank account even got below $500 for the first time this past may since i have been doing the accounts(4 years now).

  for june, we raised a whopping $2400 to send into the branch.. the most amazing part, is that only a select few contribute on a regular basis every month.

  We had a letter last night about not ordering annual items because the cost is too high to print them. Just to sit on people's shelves. They encouraged downloading instead.

  it was with great pleasure and with mrs hosers blessing that i took all of our bound volumes and other obsolete jehovah's witness books to the local landfill.

  i threw them into the garbage pile and watched as a crawler tractor drove over them to pack them down.
