I wonder when your dad says 'they are smarter than me', who he is actually referring to? It is very unlikely than any of the GB had anything to do with creating and designing the app.

Comment from my dad, "They are smarter than me."

by Faithful Witness in

my jw (converts of about 5 years) came over on thursday and ate a turkey dinner with us.

we didn't call it thanksgiving, but that was obviously what it was.

they were proud to give me my own copy of the new revised and improved nwt bible.

Highlights from the Circuit Assembly!!

by DATA-DOG in

god's word is beneficial ca:.

full time service:.

there are sound reasons for pioneering.. 1) it's the most satisfying work there is.. 2) you cooperate even more fully with the angels and the anointed [ which equals the gb/fds, not sister old mcsingletilldeath.].

,,,"Another supervisor argued with the Boss while the sister, " Watched JEHOVAH work things out." The Boss finally gave up. He fired her, she got her 401K to live on, and then got re-hired with insurance. JEHOVAH will act for you if you do MORE."

Obviously it wasn't the sister that was arguing with the boss that led to her sacking, someone else did that and they were only doing what God had directed them to do.

What they are now saying is to fight with your boss for what you want even to the point of being sacked.

Why the field service reports?

by Syme in

some years ago, we had this difficult bible study with a guy who was unofficially a witness for about 40 years, yet he would never make the step of becoming an unbaptized publisher.

we pushed him at some point to tell us the reason, and the reason was this: he didn't agree with the field reports practice.

he said he did a lot of preaching by himself but didn't see any reason to report it to the congregation.. of course, we told him that the reason we hand in field reports is so that we have statistics, and know how much work is done worldwide and bla-bla-blah.

They would likely argue that they need the names so they can chase up individuals who had forgotten to lodge their report.

JWs left about 10 Minutes Ago

by ABibleStudent in

i'm visiting my brother and his family in virginia for thanksgiving.

as i was looking out the kitchen window today, saturday, waiting for my sister-in-law to finish talking with my niece on the phone, i noticed an older couple in thick coats going to different houses in the cul-de-sac.

as i was watching the older couple and thinking about what i would do if they rang the door where i was and if they were jws, the door rang.. at the door were two older african-american women.

No bibles, just advertising their publications, that speaks volumes.

A Bible Student, you did very well with your main message telling them to think.

February 2014- Watchtower Public edition now available!

by A.proclaimer in

the new watchtower public edition titled "the war that chnaged the world" and the awake titled "how to invest your time wisely" for february are up.

looks like they are still sticking to 1914. they do talk about the war and tie it in with the 1914 interpretation.. watchtower public:.

"The start of that sanguinary conflict was doubtless part of his scheme to blind persons to what had happened in the heavens in fulfillment of Bible prophecy and also, if at all possible, to hinder the Kingdom from ruling over the world of mankind."

The question is, if WW1 had not occurred earlier then how would it have been evident that the Kingdom had been given to Jesus in Oct 1914? They have clarified their claim by using the words 'if at all possible'. It is just a nonsense piece of speculation.

Generation continuing

by molybdenum in

this is what is written in the jan 2014 wt article .

let your kingdom comebut when?in his detailed prophecy about the conclusion of this system of things, jesus said: this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen.

(read matthew 24:33-35.

Listener

They forgot the 'sanity' clause in that article.

Their definition of the term generation shows how the JW religion will make up anything just to fit in with it's own made up timetables.

If anyone thinks this is a petty issue then they just can't see the bigger picture. It really demonstrates just how gullible the average JW is if they swallow this rubbish.

More WT Propaganda: Low Paying Jobs are OK for Family Heads. Just "Don't Miss the Meetings!"

by Oubliette in

god, evidently, wants you to be poor: .

a newly baptized brother is married, and he and his wife have three small children.

one day, a workmate suggested that he and the brother move to another company that paid a higher wage and provided more benefits.

Listener

Thanks SFPW, you've just given yourself away, you've just been having us on. You're pretty convincing though.

Children getting publisher status or getting baptised

by Apostating in

i live in holland and my children are 5 and 7 years old and live with their jw mom.. today i was pondering what legal rights i have as a parent regarding the status of my under age children within this religion.

what would happen if i was to send a registered letter to the branch and congregation, that as long as my children are under age they cannot be publishers or get baptised.

and if they are there will be legal consequences.
