The Secret is out....but nobody cares

by MrTheocratic in

i've been looking on this site for some time but never posted.

i'll give a little about myself, but not too much.

i'm a ex-bethelite ( brooklyn )and currently serving as an elder (10 years) (thinking about stepping down) on the service committee.

That is true hoser. But it makes me wonder if once the dominoes start to fall - LOOK OUT!

A rather mass exodus could occur. What do you think?

if the organization tightened the screws just a little bit more there would be a huge exodus. At the moment it can still be a religion of convenience. Show up to enough meetings to be visible, do the same for field service and don't express your true feelings and you can stay in the club.

Now on the other hand if the org demanded that everyone be a pioneer or started mandatory tithing then you would see people leave in droves.

Who's behind the WT / JW.org?

by elkatire1980 in

i have always thought that the members of the governing body are just a decorative elements in the visible cusp of the organization.

i have read conspiratorial topics about who really rule, but they are not visible.

the shareholders of the corporation?

Donations to the Watchtower forinsurance likely just disappear into Watchtowers offshore CaptiveCompanies

Absolutely. I know of a Kingdom Hall involved in a natural disaster where they solicited for donations. What about the insurance the congregation has been paying into for decades?
The watchtower has its' cake and gets to eat it too!

People who don't believe but pretend to perpetuate the problem. Observers see a "spiritually strong" jw and not the faker that he or she really is. It may delay some from waking up.

March Broadcast- Jehovah is speeding up the work

by adjusted knowledge in

jw
friends

i watched some of the segments on the jw broadcast.

in the video they showed how they managed their inventory orders for the congregations.

at the conclusion it was stated by the narrator how god is speeding up the work.. the problem is the system they implemented has been used for over two decades in logistics.

The wt will never be on the leading edge of technology if they keep their current management strategy in place.

It is a top down hierarchal system. If a lower member comes up with a better way of doing business either the idea or the individual is dismissed.

I have worked for companies like this in the past All of them went bankrupt.

This Week's Service Meeting

by berrygerry in

"or perhaps there is an adult brother who is restricted from conducting the meeting or offering congregation prayer for reasons known by the elders.

without revealing confidential information, the elders should let the assigned sisters know that they should conduct and pray even if he is in attendance.".

too funny..

I guess I missed it. I can't remember the last time I was at a mid week meeting

Oh Damn...I have been sprung!

by stuckinarut2 in

jw
friends

i knew it could happen one day...yet i was so careful..... sitting at the sound cabinet, i had our awesome forum open on my tablet, and didn't see the microphone brother looking over at me...... he wandered over and asked me "whats that site?".

i quickly responded "oh, i googled to get to our jw.org site, and this must have popped up" while quickly closing it.... he didn't look too fussed, but my heart was beating..... he is pretty chilled out and certainly not an "uber-dub"...but this was a wake up call to be more careful...i am fading fast, but don't want anymore attention from the nazi-elders while doing so!.

be careful all!

Playing the wrong song and claiming the brother called out the wrong song in a loud voice as you announce the "right song" is always a real crowd pleaser...

If I was still on sound desk I'd bring my own special mix of the song. I'd pitch shift the music just enough to mess every one up

by toweragent in

http://jwtalk.net/forums/files/download/498-songs-140-142/.

i don't know if anybody has seen this (or if anybody cares).

but it seems that some of the "new" new songs have been leaked by somebody at bethel.. just a bit of a warning, do not click on that vocal rendition of song 142... it is awful.

Remember this scripture: kindly yoke, light load, refreshment for your soul...

by Muddy Waters in

matthew 11:28-30 "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

29 take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

30 for my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.. do you remember this scripture?

The hardest part is overcoming the conditioning that Jws endure that basically tells them they are worthless.
