  I am sorry to hear you are upset, but you could go next week , or watch the video online . Be careful if over consuming alcohol brother , it dulls your senses and can lead to poor choices.

  some announcement of sorts?.

  there are all kinds of conspiracy theories.

  their head count and time cards are all faked by the gb, and "congregations".

  It amazes me...

  ..to think about how the congregations actually function....even down to the individual level.. the biggest bully on the boe (or his wife), controls the show.. ones within the congregation are treated like they're dirt and still they return.

  stockholm syndrome?.

  i've heard ones say that 'jehovah(tm) will sort it all out.

  I guess if it was like that, but I have been in 7 congregations so far, and never seen that ... Maybe I have just been lucky

  HIGHER EDUCATION, THE BIBLE, AND THE WTBTS / GBoJW

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the disdain which the wtbts / gbojw has for higher education is well known among jw's and jw dissenters.

  the specious rationale for such disdain is also well known.

  however, it is a fact that there is no scriptural authority for..... a) prohibiting education at any level for another person.

  How is the NY Times being negative here? It's just quoting the ramblings of one council lie , backed up with "over half a dozen!!" signatures. I take it some if you were in Brooklyn in the 70s and 80s, and know that the dubs played a part in improving the areas to the extent it has been .

  nothing to see here

  The jw.org billions

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  it is still strange, that an organization, lead by a group of old timers, is gaining billions at the moment, without giving any transparency and accountancy feedback, because these men "trust each other", and come away with that.. they got the property investment by the use of cohi associates, and deposit their liquid assets at the caymans.. it is clear: the real power behind the jw.org facade is securing his future.. don't get me wrong, i'm not insane, but more and more i got this strong gut feeling that some governmental organization has the real power.. gorby.

  "At this point in my life, I am thinking more and more that jw.org is one of the American organizations used by the American government for the implementation of their global U.S. interest."

  i think someone needs a new tin-foil hat.

  A Landlord Glimpse on Tenant’s Property

  by Loi_241 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i look back, i wish that a landlord glimpse on my property and so she does not want more than me renting her home.

  but, i still do not have a wish because she wants more money; she does not have to be satisfied to what she has.

  and so a landlord commanded me to give the exact gifts, not let me to be a generous tenant to give whatever is from my heart.

  Literature being discontinued, including Isaiah's Prophecy and Reasoning book

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  congregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.

  i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.

  the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..

  d4g: It's called revisionist history, and the WT, as well as all authoritarian regimes are masters at it.

  “He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”― George Orwell, 1984>>

  No, it's not revisionist history it's stopping printing certain old books.

  if it was revisionist they would tell everyone to destroy everything over 10 years old, then say 'we have always believed x y or z '
