what happens to wts writers who write mistakes in printed pubs
by mP in

given that the printed word is forever and cannot be erased do the writers get into trouble for the embarassment they cause ?

every mistake results in someone today or tommorrow or nnext year and so on losing faith which is a disasyer for the org.

how do they hope to control these errors and prevent them from happening in the future.?

by "shadow elder".

before i express my opinion to the readers and contributors to this website (www.ex-jw.com), i would like to explain who i am and to present my bona fides as someone qualified to comment on this website and jehovah's witnesses in general.. first of all, i am an active jehovah's witness living just outside of new york city.

being a large metropolis, new york has many kingdom halls located within the city and several more in surrounding boroughs, counties, and suburbs.

I've not seen them for four years - elder puts Memorial invite on my door
by truthseeker in
1. jw
2. experiences
i just came back from shopping, was about to pull up in the driveway and noticed an elder from my old hall and his young child working the territory.. i waited till they left and parked.

i noticed i was the only one who got a memorial invite, none of my neighbors got one.

so they weren't working the territory but stopped by to give me an invite.

judicial committees prove that god is not backing the wtbts!!!.

on another thread, one poster shared a humiliating experience they had in a judicial committee hearing.

the poster was asked, as it typical of such hearings, a series of highly personal and extremely intrusive questions regarding their sexual activities.

I guess I'm in a particularly morose mood today
by wha happened? in

2. beliefs
but i guess i finaly had it at the office with religion.

(there are two dubs and everyone else just throws in comments).

i guess living the life of a dub for a number of years took a lot of the belief out of me.. i think what threw me the most is when i hear people saying that god is like a parent, a father watching over his children.

Judicial Committee Meetings Sexual Matters
by Celestial in

2. beliefs
anyone had three elders (judicial committee) question you on sex before marriage?.

case in point, being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, i partied with peers that were witnesses by tradition, inherent faith.

at the age of eighteen (1992), i was conversing about the elders with a group of witnesses, and a girl who had been before a judicial committee chimed in and said, they ask questions that are none of their fucking business.

Reduced Magazines Etc: Scenario Thinking
by metatron in
1. jw
2. friends
forgive me for creating this thread but i believe there are aspects of watchtower downsizing that have not been fully understood or 'fleshed out'.. for example: you have a publishing company whose main source of revenues are book and magazine production and sales.

their international presence is supported by the profits they make on these.

so far, so good.... overtime, their products fail to sell.
