the latest august 15th watchtower study edition features an interesting review of the society's annual meeting.. one comment struck me as evidence that the governing body isn't quite as "discreet" as it claims.. here is what the article said:.
"there are plans to develop a 248-acre (100 ha) property at warwick.
'although we are not yet certain of jehovahs will regarding warwick,' said brother pierce, 'we are proceeding to develop the site with the intention of relocating the world headquarters of jehovahs witnesses there.
I really hope this is the beginning of the end for them. I heard they put off doing this big move ever since 9/11 occured and wanted to just focus on the preaching work. Now over 10 years later, they decide they want to undergo the move after all??? The sad thing is, so many JWs have their heads stuck up their asses they won't even begin to sense that something is wrong here.
Brilliant article, cedars, by the way.
they won't give you the sweat off of there balls!.
I totally dislike the watchtower society and JWs in general.
good day,.
this week is the super special week of activity with one of our favorite jw celebrities...the circuit overseer!!!.
in last night's talk, he gave sooooo much encouragement...just hearing him made me want to fall to my knees and worship him!
I guess that's why the planes crashed in the WTC and not the Bethel building, right??!? The scary thing is, if I was still in the "truth" I might have actually believed that nonsense.
i was speaking to a neighbor who is a jw but has no idea that i used to be one.
he was talking about why he has to "spread the good news" at his place of employment and i asked him if people tend to balk once he mentions the jw's.. he stated that he uses a "spiritual tactic" to sometimes get around this problem.
he said when he hears someone talking about religious or biblical matters, he will often chime in with "what do you think about the jehovah's witnesses way of interpretation?".
What happened to "We are Jehovah's Witnesses, we speak out in fearlessness?"
Exactly.............
@Botzwana
Huh?? Care to elaborate??
Anyways, RIP to this legend. So much good childhood memories of her music. I haven't been this shocked since MJ passed.
that's my wife's canned "encouragement" for me lately.
odd, i haven't named any people that have caused me any distress lately.
if anything, it's the organization itself, specifically the business end of it, that bothers me.. the legal posturing as concerns individual congregations actions in matters that could escalate into courtroom matters,.
I agree with Outlaw, because it's always the actual troublemakers themselves who use the stumbling or "imperfection" excuse as an attempt to divert attention away from the real problem. The troublemakers can do whatever they want (provided they are in the clique) because they're "imperfect", yet if they cause you to suffer deep emotional injury then YOU are the one with the problem. This was one of my main gripes with this organisation which caused me to eventually leave.
when i registered here over 4 years ago i thought it would be a good place to interact with like-minded christians who loved jehovah as much as i do.
but after reading some of the posts on here i'm beginning to believe that the sentiment on here is largely anti-witness.
i justed wanted to tell you all what vile and hateful people you are..
OP just noticed this after making over 4000 posts?!?
here on this forum there are so many sinners, many here are doing things that will bring god's wrath upon themselves.
consider yourself if you in some aspect fit the description in romans 1:28-32:.
and just as they did not approve of holding god in accurate knowledge, god gave them up to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting, filled as they were with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malicious disposition, being whisperers, backbiters, haters of god, insolent, haughty, self-assuming, inventors of injurious things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, merciless.
LMAO @ the pictures!!
uk congregations of jehovah's witnesses[a].
aberaeron.
aberdare.
Four congregations on that list I have been a member of. This must be an old list because one of the so called "brothers" I knew moved to Japan ages ago.
Seeing some of the names on those lists have brought back some bad memories.
i know there's plenty.. one that comes to mind is the blood doctrine.
whole blood is bad, blood fractions may be ok but not all.....wtf?
?.
The belief that a christian should only wear their baseball cap forwards - any other position was seen as "wordly". SMH.
