  What's in it for the Governing Body? How about this?

  by Mickey mouse in

  on another forum, someone recently started a thread asking what sort of lifestyle the watchtower elite enjoy.

  it prompted me to do a little digging.

  when the leaflet 'dress and grooming for visitors touring bethel' was published a few years ago, i thought the room below looked familiar.

  One of the sisters (blog authors) says the following under a picture of their tour of Wallkill printery: "Watchtower Library is updated for Bethelites every month so they have the latest

  version of all the publications available to them. If only we had that!!"

  To which, somebody (ahem ) replied:

  "You already do sisters: www.jw.org.

  The newest publications are out there for the world to see...however, you should ask yourselves the question: "Why aren't the OLD publications available?"
  
  This is where it gets interesting. Check some Awakes from the late 60's - a wealth of information. Oh, wait the CDROM only goes back to 1970.
  
  Wonder why, wonder why...."

  Like Paul, I wonder how long would this one remain.

  hello all, i've been on this site for a few weeks (reading for longer) and i have to say this site has helped me a great deal.

  i see from reading all the posts that many many people share my views on the whole jw thing and i'm so glad i can express myself without getting into problems with getting reported to the elders or something.

  i am currently in my late 30's happily married to a jaydub with 2 kids.

  This is some bull, man.....

  Otherwise perfectly rational adults behaving like preschool children. How could possibly THIS PARTICULAR part of their brain be completely wiped out? I am baffled (not only from your account, but from similar accounts in general).

  Funny, I tried to register and it looks like at ~$7,000 a head it is an absolute bargain!!! How happifying!

  The $14,000 + all other expenses paid is exactly what sister reg.pioneer would expect her $15/month donation will go towards to. And should we mention that the spirit (no pun intended) of this summit is geared towards long-term goals.....

  Armageddon around the corner, my a$$...

  Does WT do this on purpose or are they just out of ideas? 2012 Special Talk

  by OnTheWayOut in

  the 2012 special talk is "is it later than you think?".

  the outline can be found at this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/221623/1/anyone-have-the-outline-for-the-2012-special-talk.

  at that above link, you can also see the october 8, 1968 awake cover that uses that exact same title.

  "If you can't assure me that the teaching will never change, then there is the possibilty that it is not true; yet if I proclaim that the teaching is not true, I will be disfellowshipped for 'apostasy' and/or

  'causing divisions'. Can you explain to me why unity (really, conformity, but let's throw them a bone) is more important than truth?"

  Um, duh, because the light is getting brighter..

  The gun is the SHUN: the JW's who no longer believe but cannot leave!

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the insidious bind the watchtower religion places on their members is unconscionable.. holding family and friends "hostage" as an extortion strategy may be their most potent weapon of enforced conformity.. .

  in effect, like an armed criminal who points a gun at you and threatens "your money or your life", the watchtower leadership.

  holds the power to separate dissenting members from those whom they most cherish.

  Thoughts and Opinions on the VAA?

  by arko_n9ne in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as i've posted multiple times before, i am new to many of the aspects of wts scandals so a couple weeks ago, i was on youtube and heard of a group concept from tim kilgore called the vaa (vast apostate army).. personally, i like the concept of former witnesses and anti-watchtower proponents uniting to stand against the wrong doings of the organization.

  i would like their rally in a few years to succeed.

  if things look promising enough, i more than likely will go.. but honestly, i don't know much about the vaa, and since it's not a concept with that "new car smell" i imagine people have more infor to offer.. i saw on older posts that witnesses are not fans of the idea of anyone banding together en masse against them, as they go to the lengths of calling the vaa a terrorist organization (though no acts of violence or tyranny have been committed or threatened).. so if anyone can offer insight into this group, it would help a man know if it's a group worth rallying with.. .

  The VAA shows up on November 5th, 2017 and nothing happens well guess what? JWs you're not the chosen people because the scripture says as soon as people turn against them it will be like touching God's eyeball and he'll step in right away.

  Actually, this looks like a win-win to me.

  11/5/17 comes and nothing happens, JWs are not chosen because God didn't step in.

  11/5/17 comes and WT falls, JWs are not chosen because God didn't step in...
