a. vogel is a company ran primarily by jehovah's witnesses, the "brains" behind the operation, alfred vogel, has since died but he claimed to be one of the anointed.

the bolle family (co-founders of the company) is a well-known, (now very wealthy) family in the netherlands and there have been significant "contributions" in the past from the company to the watchtower organization.. alfred vogel was a well-known conman, he claimed blood transfusions would change someone's personality, he claimed to have studied native american herbal healing methods... from a native american tourist photo-op actor.

The Drenth's went to Belgium to make money.

Has anybody experienced a judicial committee in a private venue?

by Chook in

i think getting them to agree to a private place would give you an edge (even if the egde of their sword closer to home).

if i'm ever hauled before their kangaroo court i will only go on one of three conditions .1 non jw venue .2 with legal representation .

3 the recording of proceedings.

The answer is yes, many times, brothers and sisters not living close to their kh.

So what?

we have a laid off bethelite with an engineering degree!

by nowwhat? in

this guy have been at bethel for 25 years when he could have been making 75-100 thousand a year as an engineer.

so they kick him to the curb so they don't have to house him and his wife anymore.

they run into a problem at warwick and they ask him to come back for 3 weeks.

Has that to do with the US education level you think?

Awkward conversations of Governing Body Advisors - "Tony, you might what to take some time off, you're an asshole"

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

is there anyone who will just say it straight in bethel?.

"governing body members, you're embarrassing us with every broadcast.

".

No, they are considered kind of holy at Bethel. Believe it or not, my wife told me that even their clothes are washed separatly from the rest. Only special assigned sisters are allowed to do it. Never understood why.

Time for a new type/anti-type, G.B? 2033 is the new 1975!

by The Fall Guy in

a well known scripture says, "however, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with jehovah as a thousand years......." (2 peter 3:8) .

using this divine calculation of time, let's apply it to a prophetic type/anti-type scenario:.

matthew 16:21 says, ".....the christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day...", while john 21:1 reveals that it was at the very beginning of that third day - "on the first day of the week, mary magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and she saw that the stone had already been taken away from the tomb.

Another JW Urban Legend Thread

by Funchback in

threads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.

they are loads of fun to read.

how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.
