  JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

  by Muddy Waters in

  this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

  feel free to add your own observations and experience.

  the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

  Why was studying a book with wordly people called a "bible-study" and the fifth meeting, also studying a book, called "the bookstudy". I have always found that weird and nobody have been able to explain why.

  i left the organization.

  my awakening was this month of july, the first week of july.

  i couldn't answer my own questions about the organization or the doctrines, i couldn't understand the prophecies, i couldn't figure quite well what i was feeling.

  Special Bethelite Speakers

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've noticed that some elders will insist on getting a special bethel speaker for memorials, special talks, or sometimes for no reason at all!

  i believe they are trying build connections they can use later, but who pays for it?

  the congregation does and as a former account servant i can tell you airfare isn't all that cheap.

  Of course the congregation pay for the travels. In Europe it is a fixed amount per kilometer. I was never a Bethel speaker but once was invited to give the memorial talk in Spanish far away from the branch I was working at. The starting group had No qualified speaker, so we did the long trip. Got a nice dinner and about a 150 guilders as expenses (in 1989), would be a 75 euros in todays money. Makes sense to me, you can not expect a poor Bethelite cover the expenses.

  Stupid things happen - Bethelite guarantees 16-year old visitor-girls bethel-admission

  just watching this video about a bethel member, single again - gives advice at morning worship.he tries to convince young 16 year old girls who visit bethel and eat in the cafeteria to marry him.he offers the full blessings as wife of a prince in the new world and gives arguments that speakfor a fast decision... shocking stupidy.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4udiaarpay.

  in another video of ex-bethelite (how women are treated) a bethel elder is mentioned who talked to brothers at the table and gave advice abouth marriage and said that it would be the best to marry a women when is as young and pretty as possible, (at 8:45) so you have the possibilty to train her and to mode her in to what you want and get her used in the roles you set for her..... other bethelits made big errors and married older women 24,25.women that would have their own concepts of what bethel or marriage should be.

  Let's talk about Don Adams.

  by Ray Frankz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's interesting that the person of the president of wtbts has figured lesser and lesser since f. franz era.

  i was born in the religion in the 90's and i got to know about russel, rutherford, knorr and franz; but i never knew until a couple of years ago that m. henschel was the president in that time.

  the same happens with don adams now, the first wt president from the 'other sheep'.

    It's so weird for me to think back to having Adams and Ciranko as COs back in the day when I was a kid and project that to now. I don't remember them as bad guys.
