  Do Jehovah Witnesses Have a Programs For "Reclamation Projects"

  by Pitchess Co-Gen in

  2. friends

  with the new bible school for single brothers and bible school for christain couples .

  do the witnesses have a program to turn people who been disfellowship or repoved multiple times into elders or ministerial servants?

  in my time as a witness it seems that you need a "sponsor" to give the blessing to move up in the organization.. .

  Some observations from the KM Elder School I wanted to share with you.

  my school was a couple weeks back, and it was interesting to a degree.

  to be honest with you, it reminded me of a police crime scene investigation with yellow tape.

  what i mean is, in one respect it was business as usual.

  i don't post often, but i lurk a lot.

  i have fonund the information to be helpful and encouraging.. however, i'm not sure how much longer i can take being married to the jw's.. i have a wonderful husband, but he believes everything this cult tells him.

  most recently he has decided that because the end is near we don't have to worry about our bills.

  I wonder if your husband has a plan for employment. Does he use the downtime to find out what skills he

  needs to develop in order to provide for his family in the long run? Unless a man is comfortable, all his downtime should be focused

  on the health of his family via sharping his vocational skills, having and executing a plan for employment, or taking on a entrepreneurial spirit as for as getting

  money.------Believe it or not is up to the wife to hold him accountable as for as execution and support.

  "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."- Michael Corleone in Godfather III. Sorta reminds me of my life.

  most of you recognize that line from the godfather iii, which wasn't the greatest film in my opinion, but that line was classic.

  it perfectly depicts my life as it stands now.

  i'm at a crossroads in life, and my heart is being tugged in different directions.

  Why hasn't Jehovah given the GB their "New System of things" manual yet?

  by moshe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i never aked myself this when i was a jw, but i should have- just where is that manual the elders will need to run the new system of things at anyway?

  we can't wait until armageddon arrives to print it- the wt presses will be shut down by the evil governments by then!

  they have to have it ready and distributed to the kh's ahead of time.

  Moshe-what you say is very interesting. If we look at it, cities large and small,....hell even elementary schools have a protocol

  if there is an emergency. What is the WTBTS protocol for Har-megadon?

  Question for Board/Current JWs re Holy Spirit/holy spirit...

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  may you all have peace!.

  in another post, a dear one mentioned that a jw relative ceased being... ummmm... contentious, when the dear one told her that, after praying about it, they were allowing themselves "to be guided by holy spirit and not doctrine from a man-made organization.

  " that the latter felt "wrong.

  Quality Thread Shelby!

  I can not see the difference between existence and spirit; they are synonymous.

  by bobld in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would say approx.20-25%.50-60% stay because they like the friendship and don't really do much in preaching just placing mags.the remaining ones don't know any better, they are totally brainwashed.well at least they have a clean brain but good for nothing.. b. .

  WTBTS maybe better off without ostracizing. We can look at the memorial attendance and see how many they influence.

  Ease up on the guilt and fear mongering and the demand for useless Corporate Activities,

  and they would have 17 to 18 million strong, who would be more inclined to donate.

  I reckon, lol.......
