  Unity: the theme for the monthly TV program

  by leaving_quietly in

  there's been numerous discussions about the singing cart thing in this month's video.

  i decided to watch at least a portion of the rest of the program though because sometimes things are said that are interesting to pick up on.

  this one started off on the topic of unity, and, unbelievably, herd talked about brainwashing and how we like to have our brains cleaned.

  Greeting people from other countries and the joy that it brings is not unique to international conventions of JW. I regularly attend seminars where people come from various parts of the world. Today I am in Korea where I met with people from 27 different countries and I am heading a task force with people from China, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Some of them speak very little English but we manage to work together. We hug and say goodbye after exchanging contact information so we can stay in touch until we meet again. JW believe they are the only ones to experience unity...let me tell you it isn't exclusive to the WT!

  Send money to KH in lieu of flowers.

  "in lieu of flowers send money to the kingdom hall"..... wow.... this young woman's jw servant husband was caught cheating on her again with another jw "sister", but when she told her husband she wanted to forgive him again and continue with her marriage, he told her he didn't want that.

  he wanted her to simply move on with her life.here is how she moved on: she put on her wedding dress, got into her car in the garage and started it.

  do you think finding her this way spoke louder than any suicide note?

  I'm speechless...I almost threw my phone across the room. I wonder if they are showing these broadcasts at the meetings? If not I may start watching them with my wife to see if she finds them as batshit crazy as I do. That could be what she needs to wake up.

  Is this what they are up to?

  by Pistoff in

  1. the meeting notes (which seem to be genuine, several sources now) for the ldc roll out talk about the need for 500, yes, 500 new halls.. 2. they are not interested in what property is available, but instead what is 'optimal', and are training couples to search for 'optimal' property.. 3. if the buildings did not have a sign that said jw .org (i refuse to give them a free link) and kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses, you could not tell it from a small bank or office building, just check the pictures.. .

  this makes me think that a) they either need to build and sell commercial property very quickly, or they just want to build and sell commercial property very quickly.. .

  think about this: to build a kingdom hall (church), you need a variance, whether commercial or residential.. i predict they will put these in primarily commercial locations, ie, 'optimal' locations.. .

  Imagine selling paid off KHalls at full market value to build new ones in prime locations with free labour and perpetual tenants...the real estate holdings substantially increase and you get the friends contributing more. That's what you call win-win fot the WT.

  Leonce Crepeau is in his late eighties which may explain why he is a little out of touch with reality.He has spent the last 60 years preaching that the end is near...this says a lot about his credibility.

  hello forum,.

  i'm new here and not sure where to post.

  so, i'm 21 years old and currently a baptized witness, however, i'm slowly making my mind up to leave and here's why.. first, there are certain things that make no sense to me in the organization.

  Welcome Garrett. You don't have to do anything. Just take the time you need to get better. I stopped attending the meetings suddenly after 50 years and I didn't get a single phone call or a visit for almost 2 years. By that time I had a clear picture of what I wanted the rest of my life to be. I also suffered from depression occasionally and since I left my outlook on life has completely changed. I hope you can experience the same as you distance yourself from the controlling cult the WT is. Telling the elders you are depressed is a great way to keep them at distance and allow you to fade. Keep us posted on your progress.

  Is Jehova's Trumpet for real?

  because regardless of having seen a lot of bad things, if true, some of the things i read there have reached new thresholds of bs.

  who are these people?

  i posted some comments there because i was sincerely confused as to the nature of their article.. http://jehovahstrumpet.com/brother-survives-nazi-persecution-disfellowshiped-for-smoking/.

  Counting service time in a creative way

  by nevaagain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  couting time and, how to count time while doing as little service as possible is often a hot topic around witnesses.

  i even overheard pioneers discussing about it.

  they call it "creative time counting" (i translated that phrase from a different language so bear with me ;-).

  Sir 82...in our congregation our presence alone in the territory is a witness even if we don't speak with anyone! Angels see how we care and Jéhovah is happy especially when you are out in sub-zero weather or on rainy days...lol
