  The inevitable memorial invitation

  by Really?! in

  2. beliefs

  i knew it was coming.

  i'd managed to swerve it once already when i saw the paper invite laid out all special in my mothers kitchen when i arrived at her house..i avoided the kitchen for the rest of the visit.. had the family over this weekend, we were alone whilst preparing food and i knew from the second that the tone in her voice changed what was coming.

  the usual words along the line of "i invite you every year, i've got the paper invite to give you as well (like that would make a difference?!

  I don't get a direct invitation from my still active wife...she just left an invitation sheet on her dresser for me to see...she absolutely avoid discussing any JW matters because she doesn't want to hear my point of view.

  In my old congregation there was a MS who knew his priviledges would be removed...so he actually resigned from the platform while doing a ministry school part. You should have seen the look of stupor in the face of the elder conducting the school...

  The amount was determined by the number of publisher and sent once a year. The payment was added to one of the monthly remitance form. The program is called Kingdom Hall Assistance Arrangement or KHAA...

  The premium paid for the WT insurance fund is another cash grab because very few congregations would dare make a claim to the society. I remember an instance when someone broke in the KH storage shed and stole the mowing/snow plow tractor and we simply made a resolution to buy a new one instead of making an insurance claim. It cost around $5,000 to the congregation. If a witness got injured how would he been seen by others if he sued for damages?

  Congregation Contributions

  by nolongerconfused in

  do you guys remember when the congregation's monthly contribution report was read out loud in the service meeting?

  obviously, they don't do that anymore... does anyone here know why exactly they stopped reading the report publicly?.

  seems fishy to me.

  When they stopped reading the accounts report my first thought was that most JWs who contribute never look at the information board, and before long the contributions would go ddown without reminders to donate...so I'm not surprised that they reverted to reading the report again.

  I was doing the accounts 4 years ago and I was always given the announcements on the service meeting where the accounts report was to be read. When the announcements were eliminate to gain time for the combined bible study a copy of the accounts report was posted on the congregation information board...that may have changed since then...

  JWs AND THE OCCULT PT. 2!

  this ties in with my previous post on the history of jws and pyramids, tied to the occult!

  check it out.... .

  this is the latest cover of the awake, can you spot the pyramid?.

  The cover picture is not realistic because when you become a JW all your worldly friends got to go...even those from your childhood. You then replace them by conditional friends...so when you leave the cult you are without friends.

  Why JWs don't celebrate Mother's day

  by Laika in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the uk, this sunday is mother's day!

  ask a jw why they don't celebrate holidays and they'll tell you it's because of some nefarious pagan connection.

  but this is really just a cover.
