  New NWT - what's the REAL reason?

  by wallsofjericho in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one thing i have learned over the years is there is a clear, distinct purpose to everything the wts does.

  everything is done to accomplish a defined purpose.. did they really print millions of new bibles just to be more accurate?

  after decades of toughting how much better the nwt was than any other bible?.

  NeverKnew- I'd guess most witnesses thought this new Bible was worth more and contributed more than they normally would have.

  Anyone Here Used to Fear Persecution?

  i was thinking today about how i no longer have to fear the attack of satan against the jws.

  i used to fear being rounded up and beaten by mobs.

  seeing my family tortured.

  No Memorial invitation for us :)

  by truthseekeriam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning as my husband and i were backing out of our garage to head out to the farmers market a jw was walking up our walkway with his invitation.

  he didn't see us and we didn't rocongnize him but a brother and sister we knew well actually looked our way.

  we decided not to bother and went our way to enjoy a lovely morning picking out fresh fruit and vegetables knowing when we got home the invitation would be stuffed in our door.

  I did not get an invitation either. I don't get invites to the conventions either and a sister who had been bringing me the magazines and literature has not brought anything by since January.

  Even my jw brother never sends me any invites.

  i was invited by my parents, and even though i have nothing but contempt for this religion, things have been good in our relationship so i was considering going just to appease them.

  anyone else?.

  They might want to brag about how many were placed but it might also be to acertain how many tracts should be printed and sent in the future. I'm sure they want to cut costs and will reduce the amount they print and send to the congs if there is too big a varience between amount shipped and amount reported as placed.

  Is the Centenary Campaign in August 2014 really for the public?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about what i read in a recent kingdom ministry about the historical campaign the jws will engage in this august.. this is not really for the public.. it is to keep the jw's busy, not thinking about why 100 years has gone by with no end in sight, but to buoy up flagging enthusiasm.. they trying to make jws maintain a constant state of tension and expectation..

  The new tract is to be distributed to publishers at the meeting for the week starting June 9. It won't be "special" to them anymore by August.

  I wonder if it will be in the new format of recent tracts? I liked the older tracts better.

  My 45 Minute Conversation With JWs Today

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as i was saying before the watchtower literature trolley has arrived in my little town.... my wife and i were in town this afternoon and i saw one of my former elder colleagues standing beside the trolley talking to a young man and reading to him from one of their books.

  ray was one my least favourite people - he was everything that is bad about jw elders.

  i went up to them and interrupted and told the man that this is a cult recruitment campaign.
