sounds like it's worth watching.. .

elizabeth vargas' yearlong investigation into the independent fundamental baptist church airs friday, april 8. .

try to imagine the pain and humiliation of a teenage girl, just 15 years old, who says she was forced to stand in front of a new hampshire church congregation and confess her "sin" of being pregnant.

Thanks for the heads-up...watching it now...

EDITED: Watching this I just keep thinking it was about JW's---my mind just keep inserting JW for IBF without knowing it

Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

DPL...GOOD FOR YOU!! Whether these people love me enough to be understanding, or not, I love them enough to tell them the truth if they ask me. It's what Jesus would have done. (Not that I'm trying to be self-righteous, or compare myself to Jesus, I just have to be true to myself)

Assembly/Convention Accounting

by dontplaceliterature in

just having had my circuit assembly recently, i felt that the expenses in a watchtower-owned building seemed extremely over-inflated.

over $9000 for two days.

there were approximately 750-800 in attendance each day.

The Governing Body wants JWs to really, really understand this one point

by cattails in

if you had to guess what point of their teaching.

the governing body wants jws to really, really understand,.

24:45.. the comment highlights that because jesus "did not say that there would be a multitude of slaves scattered throughout the various sects of christendom.

Sayswho

WOULD JEHOVAH DIRECT A RELIGION TO PROMOTE FALSEHOOD?(at all) and yet they do over and over!!!

The GB wants us to believe that this is true...because they claim these falsehoods to be "present truths"=tomorrows false teachings

Donny..."The GB says that this "appointment" took place in early 1919, yet they provide no evidence to support it. As a JW you are supposed to accept that statement hook, line and sinker. That "appointment" is a monumental claim that should have monumental evidence to support it, yet there is none."

So true...I have always felt the same on several other issues...WHERE'S THE SUPPORTED EVIDENCE!!!

New watchtower

by bohm in

jw
friends

the new watchtower is out (woooo) http://www.jw.org/ , and there is an article about "prophecies which has come true".

the most funny one is the one about earthquakes since, well, there just isnt an increase in earthquakes:.

what do the facts show?

Are Earthquakes Really on the Increase?

We continue to be asked by many people throughout the world if earthquakes are on the increase. Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant.

A partial explanation may lie in the fact that in the last twenty years, we have definitely had an increase in the number of earthquakes we have been able to locate each year. This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications. In 1931, there were about 350 stations operating in the world; today, there are more than 8,000 stations and the data now comes in rapidly from these stations by electronic mail, internet and satellite. This increase in the number of stations and the more timely receipt of data has allowed us and other seismological centers to locate earthquakes more rapidly and to locate many small earthquakes which were undetected in earlier years. The NEIC now locates about 20,000 earthquakes each year or approximately 50 per day. Also, because of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in the environment and natural disasters, the public now learns about more earthquakes.

According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 17 major earthquakes (7.0 - 7.9) and one great earthquake (8.0 or above) in any given year.
