a letter was just read in out kh stating that all printing of wt and awake is ceased for the coming year and we will just place tracts on fs, countries which were cared by our branch will be cared by other countries...along with this they read the new fs form and stuff about reporting links of videos wtf..lol.

i can't tell which country perhaps that will give away a lot, any one with a similar information.

Will they start using the Brothers in India as a fine example of not needing printed material and getting by with online material?

I wondered who this YouTuber, Christian Sparlock Freedom was. You must have the biggest collection ever of JW YouTube's and spend a lot of time doing it. Time well spent when you see the amount of views they get.

I have to get this off my chest...cult equals guilible

by Sour Grapes in

two weeks ago while visiting a friend in north carolina, i agreed to go with him to the sunday public talk.

the public talk was about how the witnesses have the direction of angels while going in service.

the speaker told some real doozies and you could hear the "oohs and ahhs" from the audience.

Listener

Isn't this just believing in omens or that some kind of magic is at work?

The Edgar Chronicles (My encounters with a crow)

by TerryWalstrom in

jw
friends

origins and prelude (edgar chronicles).

for the last several days, there has been some kind of black bird strutting about on the starbucks patio searching for crumbs.. .

i don't particularly get along with these birds.

Of course, the storyteller had stopped. This is what tellers of tall tales are expert at doing. At just the right moment--they stop and allow the listeners to clamor and beg for details. It’s some sort of satisfying ego move--a finesse, I guess you’d say. The lady knew her audience. She paused and immediately 6 blue-hairs cackled and begged like hounds with a sniff of dinner at a kitchen screen door. When the last, “Tell us what happened” had rung silent, she nodded and smiled satisfied with herself.

Great story and I laughed at the way you managed to put that pause in before telling us what had happened, being the true storyteller that you are.

Ponderings of a Worldly Person

by Nevuela in

35-year-old female in california here.

never a jw, but have had bible studies and attended several meetings and even a convention once.

i've always been agnostic with leanings toward the belief in some deity or other, although the more i learned from the jw's, the more i've learned to doubt, not just their teachings, but the fundamental teachings of all religions.

Listener

she clarified that "they" would be coming to round up all JWs and put them in concentration camps just like in WWII. I think she meant the UN

Did she happen to explain how she knows this?

With their atrocious record of setting dates in the past you can be sure that they have no idea. There is nothing in the bible to back up this claim of putting JWs into concentration camps so get her to be specific about where this information is coming from.

Convicted Child Rapist Proselytizing. Is the Community Aware? Is the Community Safe?

by freemindfade in

wow, this is awesome.

this really shows the jw passiveness towards child sex abusers.

there needs to be more of this exposing this!.

Listener

It's probably more about protecting the pedo's who are in positions, like Elders and MS'. If they have a rule that prohibits abusers from going out in field service it would look very strange if these men are serving in positions. We know there are a number because of the report on the Australian Royal Commission website. There are a number that have been identified by them, due to their own two witness rule, or confession and have not been legally convicted.
