  the organization has many problems.

  certain doctrines are problematic.

  the men who run the organizaion have issues.

  • They tell their followers to shun their own family if they leave the religion or break the rules.
  • Their doctrine makes no sense.

  Sorry, false alarm. Looks like it the interlinear is still there but only for the New Testament.

  Question about visiting bethel ... akward moment at the end

  by nevaagain in

  since there a couple of ex-bethelites here, and a lot of people from the greater ny area who have probably visited the bethel in brooklyn and patterson many times, maybe they can shed some light into this curious question we (my wife and me) have for awhile.. so a couple of years ago, we happaned to be in the states and also went to visit the bethels in brooklyn and patterson.

  we had the full package, what i mean is, not only we took the tour, but we also had someone to invite us for lunch.

  while we wanted to enjoy our stay there, there was always a weird feeling being there.

  Bethelite's make virtually NO money. We slipped our friends $100 each when we went. I mean its the least we could do. I may not agree with the borg but these are good people and they deserve something nice once in a while.

  This is all very creepy. Is the candidate given notice that his name is being submitted for approval? What does the branch do with the submissions? Credit check? Background check?

  Have they digitized results of judicial hearings and submitted it electronically already?

  Who is your favourite thinker?

  by The Rebel in

  having recently read orwells 1984, i was impressed with how he understood that both politicians and people abuse language.

  this further confirmed to me how the w.t had deceived me by using words to distort reality.

  the book 1984, also contains many other great thoughts of george orwell.. of course there have been many other great thinkers, buddah, darwin, freud, einstein and marx come to mind.

  In the field of economics and public policy Milton Friedman was a great thinker and debater.

  I think if I wrote this letter to my wife she wouldn't even read it. It can also be used as proof against you in a JC.

  I'm also curious how she responded.

  Two Year Delay in Building New KHs - What Is the Real Impact?

  by committeechairman in

  where are all these kingdom halls that were going to start being built?

  the rbc arrangement was officially announced as an arrangement that was ending in the united states branch territory in a letter on january 24, 2014 (although this letter is no longer listed on jw.org).

  this means that 23 months have passed since the announcement of the ldc taking over and "acceleration" of kingdom hall builds.. what has happened in the meantime with kh construction?

  I remember watching the LDC video. It seemed very far fetched - small teams of full time construction servants taking the lead in building projects. This video is now removed from jw.org and recently the governing body announced that all kingdom hall construction has been halted.

  In hindsight I consider it a propaganda ploy to prop-up the new donation arrangement, whereby all congregations emptied their local savings and sent virtually all of their money to the branch.

  It was a money grab.

  LDC? What LDC?
