GB Gerrit Losch and his questionable article in the 7/14 WT study edition!!!

by ADJUSTMENTS in

in this article gerrit talks about his father in the first and last paragraphs, what he says about him and his hope for him goes against all that witnesses have preached about the worldly for the last 100 years... as i recall aren't all the worldly supposed to be destroyed and never have a hope of everlasting life like jw's are, and isn't that the purpose of the preaching work to baptize and warn the worldly of this???

if not why do jws even preach, or even become jws in the first place if all have a hope of everlasting life, jw and non-jw, are they releasing a little hint at new light to come???

or am i just missing or over analyzing something?.

Listener

At the end of the November 2016 Broadcast Losch basically says the same thing about observing his father from heaven, who had died in battle when he as 2. He then adds that he hopes to see both his father and mother serving Jehovah.

It's strange that in his position as GB member he has told every JW not once, but twice about his father, who he has basically never seen. Also that he will be observing from heaven.

It's as if he is saying 'it's all about me, me, me'.

He is really just showing that he is going to have a lot of bias towards this father of his if he does get to heaven.

The GB love to brag about their future heavenly positions, so matter of factly and don't even bother to mention Jesus in all this.

Deborah Frances-White - Richard Herring's

by Listener in

here's a video of deborah frances white (an ex jw comedian) on a show hosted by richard herring.

she has a few interesting perspectives as a jw from 17.20 onwards.please note that there are a number of 'adult themes' and personally i don't think much of richard herring.

it's the first time i've listened to him and i don't find him all that endearing but i'm sure there are some here that will enjoy this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1vsdnt-b4g.

Special Talk During the Meeting Today About the Bad Press in Canada

by RobertT18 in

i was invited to a congregation in ontario, canada today and as soon as the meeting opened the brother conducting the meeting said there was a very important statement coming from the borg.

this talk replaced the two last parts of "living as a christian" section.

he started reading a letter from the borg about how much they loved us.

Listener

It sounds like the reference to windstorm is the bad publicity and the negative responses they are getting. They can't appropriately call it persecution because it's not.

Like / Dislike Display Issue

by Simon in

just a heads up, since the last update the like / dislike votes sometimes don't display immediately due to caching.

they are all definitely counted though and will appear eventually, the issue is purely with the display part.

i'll look at fixing the cache so it's more immediate..

Listener

I'd just like to say thanks Simon for all the work you put into this.☺

wt on a slide, " 1914's generation is not only overlapping, but also composite.

by prologos in

doctrines projected by wt writers can be compared to the slides in the old carousel slide shows, the jw audience was kept in the dark, but the next images' bright filtered new light had their rapt attention.

often these doctrine images came around again but modified, often totally changed, turned upside down.

think superior authorities, resurrection ----, .

Listener

The other sheep were not in existence in 1914, but that shouldn't be a problem for the WT writers. Maybe 'this generation' can include an invisible transformation from anointed ones to the OS which occurred in the early 1930s

How Jehovah’s Witnesses leaders hide child abuse secrets at all costs - Reveal News - December 10, 2016

by jwleaks in

how jehovah's witnesses leaders hide child abuse secrets at all costs.

by trey bundy.

reveal news.

Listener

Releasing 4 years of information is proof that their previous excuses for not releasing them were nothing more than lies.

Maybe it's another reason why Herd spent time on the broadcast explaining their unique version of what a lie was, something about not giving truth to those that are not entitled to it.

Not only are they lies but they are lies to protect themselves in regards to child abuse, rather than the victims or potential victims.

Reveal releases outstanding audio w/Trey Bundy doing interviews. One is with a former Bethelite who cared for old GB members

by AndersonsInfo in

https://www.revealnews.org/episodes/secrets-of-the-watchtower/?utm_source=reveal&utm_medium=dist&utm_campaign=zalkin.

not only will you hear howie tran, former-bethelite, but irwin zalkins talks about watchtower's child abuse secrets.

debbie mcdaniels talks about her child abuse and you will hear trey actually talking to the jw who molested her..

Listener

There is so much information shared in this recording. It is an excellent report which includes an update to Zalkin's cases.

It was amusing to hear the story about GB member Carl Kline and him using his wheelchair to manipulate people into taking the publications. Also, the incident where the reporter sees GB Morris III walking out of a HQ building, when confronted he processes that he is on his way to the witnessing work and like the coward he is, runs into the lowest building to get away. He's extremely rude and a nasty piece of work.

Thanks for the link.

Melbourne Victoria Circuit Assembly Figures

by jonahstourguide in

hi all, kind of news i suppose.. fyi, 10/12/2016 at melton assembly hall.

1,266 in attendance.. two 15 yo, one male one female baptised.. costs for the day, $6,951:00 .

before costs contribution to sydney branch office from last assembly surplus $3,000:00. jtg.

Listener

I remember working many times at the Melton building site. There were way too many older Sisters working in the kitchen doing who knows what because the food was already prepared, so I was assigned to chipping off the concrete from used bricks. The bricks were to be used in a huge, environmentally friendly sewerage pit, which they were so proud of.

We were not given one piece of safety equipment. There were no safety goggles, helmets or gloves.

I hear that they have a special private room where you can have a coffee but you need to book it. It's for special events such as a family member getting baptised but that's all I know about it.

Steven Unthank and his work.

by WHATSGOINGON in

hi everyone, .

i have been trying really hard to find the court case transcript where steven unthank was in court in australia and one of the wt lawyers or a wt spokesperson said the faithful and discreet slave does not exist.. i hope that this is correct i remember reading about this a long while back and would love to get evidence of this.. i found steven on facebook and messaged him about 6 months ago and he didn't respond, he probably wants to let all this go, and i don't blame him for that.. any suggestions would be very much appreciated.. thanks wgo..

Listener

Oh right, thanks, I remember that now.

JW Policy Regarding "Marking" From The Nov 2016 WT

by JW_Rogue in

jws will deny that local needs parts are often just a way to mark those in the congregation who are deemed to be "bad association" or who don't fall in line with the elders viewpoints.

now, for the first time in a long time the wt discusses their marking policy and how it works in the nov study wt:.

recall paul’s counsel regarding disorderly ones in the congregation.

Listener

They don't announce the person's name so that any Bro's or Sis's that are unaware of who it is still associate with that person. It makes a mockery of the marking arrangement.
