  They Came To The Door!

  by NotFormer in

  going door to door with their "memorial" invitation.

  "so you can pass the emblems but nobody partakes?

  them: "we can explain who is to partake".. me: "all jesus' followers".

  It’s hard to argue your stance when your opponent knows your stance better than you do.

  In my opinion, this - more than just about any other reason - is why the Org is dispensing with the door-to-door work faster than you can say “knock, knock”.

  Governing Body Memes

  by jw07 in

  are there any sites with collections of governing body memes?

  i see memes as a very effective way of getting the truth about the truth across without lengthy debate.

  an effective meme is point and shoot since comedy holds the attention, jolts logic, is memorable, and is more likely to be viral.. something like this: http://t.qkme.me/3674l2.jpg.

  Does The WT Keep Files On ExJW Activists?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it occurred to me that the wt, if they can identify the activists that are currently campaigning against them, would have a lot of ability to compile detailed dossiers on them.

  once identified, the elders of the appropriate congregation could be asked to forward copies of all their membership details held locally.. would they do that, and do such dossiers exist?.

  (there are probably data collection rules governing such things in a lot of countries, but by no stretch of the imagination could the wt be considered a good corporate citizen).

  hoser - “This was an experience to subtly guilt you into doing more service.”

  And undoubtedly horseshit, based on anecdotal evidence.

  TonusOH - “…Set a loyal brother to the task of checking up on apostates, and before long you might have a fresh apostate on your hands…”

  A recent (alleged) insider indicated that the GB actually has a small team of hard-core uber-dubs who do, in fact, monitor the XJW community.

  Radical shake up

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine if all the governing body resigned and a new set of brothers came in and said we are very very sorry for all those who have been disfellowshipped and disassociated over the years.

  we know many mistakes have been made.

  we are really genuinely sorry to all those who have been hurt and especially those who have died and been hurt by these mistakes.

  If they had the balls of their predecessors and genuine, authentic integrity, they would say all that, word for word, and damn the consequences.

  Hailstone message AND everyone will be saved? Questions

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’ve not been paying close attention to watchtower developments, but talking to a jw yesterday it occurred to me the society (yes, still use that term - old school) have been sending out mixed messages in recent years.

  from what i gather, a few years ago the gb announced that during the great tribulation jws would be required to preach a “hailstone message of judgement” which involved telling people it was too late for them to repent and they were definitely going to be destroyed.

  there were hints that this could be very soon, “any day now” preaching could stop and the hailstone message come in, kind of thing.

  Jeezus, at this rate of change, WT theology in ten years will consist of basically…

  …”Meh”.
