  ARC: WT cf VAG

  by Joe Grundy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  (i never was a jw).. as a retired child abuse professional, i followed (and continue to do so - it's an ongoing process) the arc proceedngs closely.

  my understanding is that the purpose of the arc is to establish what current practices exist in various organisations and institutions, how those practices compare with accepted best practice, and what organisations and institutions need to do to bring their procedures and policies into line with best practice.

  (and to find a way to compensate victims for what's been done wrong).. wt is case study #29 in the arc process.

  Watchtower Content Producers Tardy With their Monthly Broadcast. WHY?

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how hard is it to produce a monthly program and get it up on time?

  they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?

  are they understaffed?

  The only reason I want it to see it. Is that it was Mr Jackson turn and it looks like they skipped him, I wonder if he got reproved and after six months he can start cominting again.

  Dont Give Them More Power Than They Deserve

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.

  dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.

  we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.

  @Tech49 you are so correct the best thing to do is not play there game. They use to get under my skin, I stop caring and has worked much better. They get so mad when you don't call them back or answer there text.

  Welcome back ATF,

  I'm sure you don't miss those days in Cameroon. It's so true on what you said. The new GB does not know how to run a business. They haven't hold a job in years, and for they don't have a clue on what they do.

  Jehovah's Witnesses May Have Peaked in Membership at 8 Million (+/-)

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .

  org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.

  instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.

  @OTWO, I agree with you the JW will peek at 8 million and won't come close to the 9. In the congregation I still attend there has been many who have started to be inactive.

  I have relative who just came from Central America. He told me that in the two congregations he served many went inactive last year, main reason rude elders second reason, tired of preaching the same thing. I think that JW org actually has hurt them more then help.

  Which bible character do you hate the most?

  by Bonsai in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more i think about it, the more i feel an extreme dislike for the apostle paul.

  he was on par with hitler in his treatment of the jews before he "saw the light".

  he replaced jesus teachings of love and mercy with a more legalistic, pharisaical concept of devotion to god.. any evil person can come to believe in god and worship him if the scales were literally and miraculously removed from his eyes.

  I hate them all.

  But all choose Moses, he left Egypt were he had a good life. Then he talks to god, and goes back to Egypt. He ends up telling the Egyptians they were going to loose there first born son. He was okay with that, at that point he should of known jah was crazy.

  He takes shit from the Israelites for forty years. Just because one time he forgets to mention jah when he hits a rock for water. Jah so lovingly tells him he was not going to make it to the promise land. He should of told him to F off and go on his way. He was gutless and a pushover.
