New JW TV will be the best thing ever for apostates! Do you agree?

by Wasanelder Once in

here's my prediction; the gov body giving regular talks will come across as crazy ass idiots.

this will strengthen the opposition and give something to refer too that is concrete evidence of crazy town in the jw headquarters.

there will be screen captures and clips that will be used all the time on youtube accounts to show the ttatt.

Especially with the new donation arrangement (tithing), and now this, they are looking more and more like every other Christian religion.

AGM 2014 - How are faders gonna hide in plain sight anymore?

by tootired2care in

so two big changes in the org were announced in the most recent agm.. local needs part is replaced by "how do you know the truth" where all members will tell their experience (oh what fun).

basic pioneer role 10 only hours a month required (see, jehovah lightens our load, therefore he loves only us)!.

it seems like they have really turned up the heat here.

The thing is, if someone is fading, it is not hard to fake service or even lie on the time report. And how hard will it be to lie if you need to on the 'How I Know It's the Truth?" - I think it depends on where you are in your fade. It might be more difficult, but I think lying is still easy enough to do.

The New Success of the WBT$....."JW.ORG".....IT`S OFF THE CHAIN!!..

How about they just get rid of holding people to tracking their numbers and just go by the quality of people they are able to attract and the number of people who attend and get baptized? I think people would be much more drawn in if they weren't beat down for not meeting some number and if they were allowed to measure their own spirituality by the quality of their lives instead of the number of doors they knock on.

and by the way, WHERE are they purchasing the merchandise? It seems so bizarre to me.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 10-05-2014 WT Study (WOMEN)

I haven't read a WT study for a LONG time, so can I just say that their 2 or 3 sentence paragraphs are pathetic.

Did it bother you that they taught, "miss a meeting and you'll fall away?"

by Wasanelder Once in

how many times did we hear that if we dont attend meetings we will leave the truth because satan will get ahold of us?

that always bothered me.

i thought, "if my faith isn't able to stand alone what good is it?

bafh

At the same time however, we were given stories of those who sustained themselves in isolation. What are we to think of that - if you do not have faith that can withstand questioning, consideration, and living an actual life - how are you to survive isolation?

Watchtower Legal Department targeting Facebook and Youtube users

by Londo111 in

from an email i received of a conversation had with people from patterson:.

it seems that the wts legal dept.

has been working with the fb [facebook] legal dept for about a year and also with youtube whoever they are, to enforce transparency.

bafh

So monitoring FB is all good and dandy, but anyone very smart who is also a Doubting Thomas will put that elder on "acquaintance" and not post anything publicly that he could see. So much for requiring real names. And I also can't see FB actually being able to enforce that policy with the number of users they currently have.

I can see elders being encouraged to spy - and they've always been encouraged to do that, hell - everyone is encouraged to do that. So the big change is what, they get to count an hour of their time for it?

Whooppeee!
