  Contribution Boxes At The Book Groups , Did You Donate More There Than The Hall ?

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this may have been covered a few years back but the thought came to me just how much money the wathtower lost in contributions when they got rid of the book study groups in witnesess homes.

  my book group was at my parents house and as it was always full, over 30 drones every tuesday night.

  this caused mayhem in the road outside with all the cars double parking etc... the jw's at my group always put loads of wonga into the tin on the welsh dresser!

  Is this Loaded Language in the 2011 Calendar?

  by maninthemiddle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think it could be fair to say, that if paul spoke for jesus, then "revealed truth" could be a valid description since the scriptures say he visited them several times, but i think the loaded language comes in when you try to apply this to modern times, (wts a modern paul?).

  i see this as trying to mold the first century to fit the current wts/jws.

  what do you think?.

  part 1 - my parents.

  it's a funny thing, time.

  notwithstanding einstein's relativity, time means vastly different things throughout life.

  Thanks for sharing, Farkel.

  So your mom remembered Playboys from 40 years ago but couldn't remember smashing an entire dinner's worth of dishes. Selective memory, maybe?

  Glad you found a compromise. There is nothing in JW world that even comes close to Christmas. This year was the first my daughter was excited about it, and we had soo much fun! (She's 3) And it snowed Christmas Day!

  Lioncask,

  I never saw it in a publication. My grandma was just crazy. She had a machine that you put a polariod of yourself in it and it'll tell you what's wrong with you, what vitamins you need, etc. And the polaroid had to have your thumbprint on it as well. No idea what the science was behind that, lol!

  Speaking of stupid (and) shit:

  My grandmother once gave a comment during a Watchtower study that we would all have blue eyes in the New System. Why? Because brown eye color is the result of a build up of toxins in the body. IOW, brown eyes mean you're full of shit.

  Scratching my head over "Watching the World", March 2011 Awake. Ideas?

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anyone familiar with the awake!

  magazine knows that "watching the world" often gives little news snippets with no further analysis or spin-doctoring from the writing dept.

  this is because for the jws reading it, they can do their own spin-doctoring and for any potential converts, it makes them think the awake!

  First quote, to reinforce the idea of Babylon the Great, by their fruits you will know them, yada yada.

  Second quote, to give the impression that the Awake is an up to date, relevant magazine with reliable information.

  The bolded words together insinuate, to me, that nothing outside of what comes directly from the Org is really credible. They're usually assumptions or claims that later turn out to be false. So don't trust it. But maybe I'm reading into it too much.

  We all die, so why bother with Jehovah if the worst is annihilation?

  by InterestedOne in

  2. beliefs

  i was wondering what a jw could say to a person who doesn't care about "serving jehovah.

  " the person could ask, "so what if i don't serve jehovah?

  " if i understand jw belief correctly, they will say, "then you'll cease to exist.
