OK for WTS to rent YMCA facilities - 1964 KM

by Bonnie_Clyde in

1964 km - page 4: .

question box: what viewpoint should we take toward membership in such organizations as the ymca, if one's membership is solely for the use of recreational facilities?.

answer: the young men's christian association is in actuality a manifestation of interfaith.

Watchtower and UN?

by rambaldi in

is this issue of the watchtower being part of the un department of public information of any significance?

at the district conventions of jehovahs witnesses there are flags of the united states and other sovereign government such as states or other countries hanging from the buildings.

the governing body and the watchtower society rent buildings which become the equivalent of kingdom halls for the weekend.

This Rambaldi guy should be a perfect next generation of WacoTower and Dark Society borg. I just imagine if he, inside a Kingdom Hall, and drop a little U.N. Library card from his wallet. One of his "beloved" elder saw it and "kindly" ask him about the Library Card with U.N. logo on it. Rambaldi will answer same as what he is cheating here:"It doesn't matter." or "You did see me in a brothel, and on a prostitute bed it soes not mean I am...with the harlot. I only sign the form to promote U.N. Charter. That's all.Jehovah's Witnesses didn't see anything wrong with it." And the elder said "Good boy. As long as you can put 100 bucks in the WWW box everyweek. You'll be fine" [Mind you, this is the truth: Before I leave Borg,in about 2 months, I did put $50.oo every week in that box and show off to elders of my congr. about my contribution and I can give very tough commnents in Watchtower study without problems, eventhough some Witnesses look back stare at me, but all elders said nothing. But I should admit that latter on when I did very severe damage to their face, they stop choose me to answer, but till say nothing. Then I found out money is more important for them than anything else. I quit myself without any questions, disfellowship etc.. Even now they keep asking me to come back. My goodness !] jwsons

Finally, I found the REAL truth!

friends

hello everyone, just wanted to say hello and let you know a bit about my story and tell you how thankful i am that i found this site!.

i was never a baptized jw although in the early 90's i studied for about 3 years and was an un-baptized publisher for about 1 year before my doubts about some of the beliefs and also my inability to overlook the constant hypocracy of the elders did me in.

sadly it was not before i dragged the love of my life into it, and also my sister (they are both baptized although she left after seeing the elders double standards when it came to doling out counsel/punishment to their own families, he is still in) anyway even though i couldn't bring myself to commit to the org because of the crap i saw going on in the 2 different halls i attended i still believed it was the truth...what an idiot!

jwsons

Wellcome, and... you still be OK. Many others here almost spend their whole life for a group of cheating businessmen in Brooklyn Headquarter. I myself 26 years and make baptized for 25 Bros/sis. during those years. I only thinking about elderly Bros. and Sisters, who trembling, freezing in snowy days to sell magazines and books for them without salary. They sitting down inside heated rooms and collect money..... jwsons

front page of april 222nd awake magazine.

i will post more when i have read all the magazine - but should be good for all you lovely trinitarians out there - and i hate trinitarian threads although i always post to them - and now i am starting one - god help me!

jwsons

For me. Is Jesus is God or Son of God doesn't count anymore. Since I know Watchtower Society has dirty hands in Rand Cam Engine and sold to U.S. Navy. Watchtower has shares in Philip Morris Cigarettes company. Since Watchtower lied when she got catch in bed with NGO/UN for 10 years without a word. That's enough filthy animals running Brooklyn doesn't attract me anymore. I still remember when they get rid of the Live Forever book and replaced it with Knowledge book, one of the reason is today people doesn't like to talk much about Trinity, Hell, Gai-Hinnom anymore... bla... bla... doctrines in deep. So why now talking about it. Try to cover up all scandals ? All of those doctrines are borrowed from Christadelphian and Second Adventist (Church of Abraham's Faith today). Jehovah's Witnesses is not the only church which "hold the truth." Those doctrines are borrowed, so no one be misleaded to join or come back with a church full of scandals, lack of faith (if they have faith why they put their faith on shares of above comapanies) and lack of love (shunning, etc.. Did you watch "The Terminal" from Steven Spielberg with Tom Hanks and Cath-Zeta Jones ? The guy can not carry with him some tablets to help his father in sick bed. However, he can if he only confirm that those tablets are for goat, for animal, to cure animals, it should be OK). Sometimes too much rules (like Pharisees) only make a system (an orgabization) becomes heartless. It doesn't work that way....

Don't they stumbling many brothers and sisters. Do they? Their name (WTBTS) still be there. Still receiving donations from H Riley Trust Fund and actually H.M. Riley was established only for WTBTS raise funds. Hopeless. The Pharisees did receive 30 silver pieces from a betrayer (H M Riley). jwsons

JWs ....Transplants - Canibalism

by JW Ben in

transplants ?

cannibalism

many opponents of the wtbts have published information saying that the wts forbade organ transplants, and the reason given was that the wts said it was equal to cannibalism.

jwsons

Bone marrow transplant is OK. Remind: Blood Transfusion is nothing more than bone marrow transplant. Ben JW should allow blood transfusion when he try to persuade people that transplant is not cannibalism. Blood transfusion is exactly organ transplant.
