  Just so long as these same well-off persons don't get on the podium and tell other people to pursue poverty. If you aren't living like John the Baptist you have no business telling anybody else to!

  Exactly. Couple years back at a District Convention, they interviewed a sister who made adjustments to her life so that she could pioneer. Guess what she did for a llving? She was a sports agent, as was/is her husband. On top of that both were born-ins according to her story. I'm thinking to myself at the time, how does a born-in JW become a sports agent? At any rate, the husband made enough income for her to quit her job/career so that she could pioneer full time.

  This past circuit assembly had a woman who related how she and her husband have decided to simplify their lives. So they sold one of their vacation homes, and she's retired early in order to pioneer. . The interview didn't go into what her husband does for a living, but he makes a pretty living by even non-JW standards.

  It's bull s#$# how they parade these examples in front of the audience, especially when many in attendance can't even remotely relate to the person on the stage. Then again, it's difficult to relate to what's printed in the magazines, so I guess nothing has changed.

  The WT and GB have No Sense of Urgency Today According to this Paragraph

  from the march 15, 2012 wt, pg 17 para 10. today there are better ways to reach not millions, but billions including those in china, india, and arabic countries where they don't even know the name jehovah.

  i guess stockpiling billions in cash and property are more important than spreading the "urgent message" hypocrites!.

  Harold Camping accomplished in a matter of months what the WT claims to have been the only group attempting to accomplish for the past 90 years. The WT isn't concerned about getting any message out, the same way they're not concerned with truth(Carl Olof Jonnson) or people's lives. The only thing they're concerned with is maintaining their publishing company and their way of life.

  Well Donny, I guess Oil, commercialism and world domination aren't hindered too much by partisanship.

  Check out these figures..........

  "Nearly 4,500 Americans died and some 32,000 were wounded during the war in Iraq, winding down this month as the last American troops withdraw."

  Not to mention the untold amount of NHI* that died.

  Why Does God Have an Organization?--Article in the Public Edition--Feb. 1, 2012 Watchtower!

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm very surprised to see an article like this in the public edition of the watchtower.

  it seems as though they are specifically trying to address the ex-jw criticisms, though of course, in their own limited way.. lies abound.

  page 26: "jesus organized his followers to witness about jehovah and to make disciples in all nations.

  after seeing most of the season unfold, i am going to make my prediction who will be in the super bowl this year.

  after seeing the play of most teams i am ready to go out on a limb.. here is the official prediction:.

  the super bowl will have the green bay packers vs. the baltimore ravens.

  Green Bay is a given in the NFC barring a crazy injury, although it's very possible NO could get them.

  The AFC is more nuanced and is up for grabs. Denver is hot right now, so is Pittsburgh, and you can't count out New England. The Ravens are suspect to me, and I don't think they have it in them.

  Now if only we could figure out a way to get rid of remorse, conscience, maybe empathy/sympathy, and definately consequences, life would be pretty darn fantastic I think.

  Myth: Parents who are Jehovah’s Witnesses
  force their children to follow their faith.

  Fact:Witness parents strive to inculcate love
  for God in their offspring, just as the Bible
  commands them to. (Ephesians 6:4) Nevertheless,
  they realize that when a child becomes
  an adult, he or she will make a personal
  choice with regard to worship.
  —Romans 14:12; Galatians 6:5.

  This is enough to make me take a trip to the nearest Branch and commit the worst mass murder this country has ever seen.

  JWs react with joy when something bad has happen to inactive or DF'd ones

  by Anator in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed when i was an active dub that some jws act joyful whenever they hear that an inactive jw or a df'd person had something bad happen to them.

  some have a glee-ful smile and they give that *look* that says, "we told you so".

  have you ever experienced what i'm referring to?

  From my experiences, it wasn't so much that they reacted with joy and glee as much as they reacted with a smug self-righteous attitude of "well, that's what you should expect when you leave Jehovah..."

  They would contradict themselves from one sentance to the next:

  "Did you hear what happened to Brother Rebellious? He was in a wreck leaving a strip club last night."

  "Oh my... I hope he wasn't hurt too bad. But you know, if he had only stayed close to the organization he wouldn't have been tempted to go to such a place and he wouldn't have been involved in that accident. That's what happens when you think you know more than the Brothers."

  The ironic part about comments such as these is hearing how they reason when something bad happens to a JW in good standing. All of sudden they change their tune to, "time and unforseen occurances."
