Is this new donation arrangement for real?

just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

" However, we are confident that Jehovah will provide what is needed by your generous support "

.

" Waitin' on Jehovah to provide"

i would just like to get this off my chest.. during the public talk last sunday the speaker (bro holden m'groin) said in public talk: .

" if you ask any 16yr old girl what she wants out of life, she would probably say a home, a family etc etc" (because obviously this is still 1955).. anyway that got my attention i thought " hmm....where is he going with this?"..

bro holden m'groin goes on .

True account

17 year old baptized youth gets pregnant

.

.

Instead of her parents love that should have

" Covered a multitude of sins "

The 17 year old is disfellowshipped and shunned

.

.

17 year old moves in wit friends of baby's daddy

have two more kids by babies daddy

.

.

Now in her early 20's, three kids, no job skills

and no support from babies daddy

This young woman has to grovel and return to the Kingdom Hall

for parental support

.

.

It's a cryin' shame

that any mistakes made or lies told by the Governing Body of Boobs

can be excused as " imperfect humans "

.

.

But as for the now single mom , like in the OP,

I guess she's now looked upon as a failer

.

.

When all it woulda took to avoid further hardship on this young lady

Is love and the ability to understand she too is an imperfect human

trynna make sense of this life

The watchtowers biggest mistake
by Truthexplorer in
1. jw
2. experiences
the moment the leadership of the wt (a publishing company whose purpose was originally to produce pamphlets and books to edify christians) first made the claim to be gods sole channel of communication for dispensing biblical truth here on earth.

that not so discreet assumption has now left them wide open to 'everything they teach as truth'.

as a result, every time an error is exposed or a teaching is changed, their credibility will continue to be affected.

Jeremiah 28:15 And Jeremiah the prophet went on to say to Hananiah the prophet : " Listen, please, Oh Hananiah ! Jehovah has not sent you, but you yourself have caused this people to trust in a falsehood "

.

" Nu light " did not spare Hananiah , And it won't spare the lies taught and adjusted as the truth by the WTS

by Batman89 in

2. experiences
it was really quite amusing 2day at the meeting when we got to the "this generation will not pass away" subheading in the wt.

the conductor spent very little time on the section and the comments that were given didnt at all make sense really.

you can tell its not understood by the majority of the friendsand will go over there heads, i was trying not to laugh lol.

I'm confused ! Sooo does this mean WT scrapped the idea about the annointed being sealed off in 1935 ? ___Batman89

It means " The light gets brighter and brighter, so the sheep are completely blind "

The WT and it's views on depression.

as a few of you may remember, i suffer from bipolar.. when working at the uk home office, i was signed off by my doctor with depression and anxiety.. in the space of 11 months i was assessed by 2 home office doctors, both diagnosing me as unfit for work.

i eventually left.. how therefore, can stupid little people in the kh say you'll be better doing fs, ministry school and being regular at meetings??.

they have to be the most un-empathetic bunch of people on the planet.

Why else do you think they keep repeating the " JW's are the happiest people on earth " mantra___Vidiot

.

To convince themselves that the members are better off under the control of the Governing Body

Very much like the Southern Slave Master who also claimed the slaves as bein' the " Happiest people on earth "
