wifibandit I actually watched that video. Barf! At first I thought it was a joke then realized it was really from their website. The householder had questions, well the answers are here in my handy dandy chart! Well let's hope he doesn't do any research and ask about that pesky 607 date. Notice that wasn't one of the questions they had him ask.😁

This weeks service meeting! More craziness.....
by stuckinarut2 inso this weeks service meeting is so full of "crazy".
a whole 15 min part devoted to trying to indoctrinate everyone on how to "explain our beliefs on 1914".
then another 15 min part called "a tool to help us explain our beliefs about 1914".

I find it disturbing. Another step toward losing an individuality at all in this cult. -

Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects
by James Jack ina good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

Another ruse?
by Pistoff incould the stopping of construction be just another ruse to squeeze money from the rank and file?.
it will certainly generate buzz like nothing else..

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how this would encourage anyone to donate more. I would think just the opposite! What would you think of someone who was building a massive new home, bragging about how wonderful it was going to be, then suddenly construction came to a screeching halt. Would you rush to lend him more money to finish his project or rather, would you think "what a dumbsh**, serves him right for not budgeting and planning ahead, he must be stupid or greedy or trying to live above his means". I can't see it, especially when you read of all the luxuries their new compound in upstate NY has! -

Just 'phoned London Bethel!

Well, WTF? I watched the part on the video where everything is started and torn up, so then turn around and bring everything to a halt? This makes absolutely no sense at all. If this is true, if all these reports and rumors are true, won't the average JW wonder what is going on? Why would they have started all this construction and left it sitting undone. And looking at the construction site on the video, it looks like a big muddy mess like most construction sites in the early stages look. I don't think that would make the neighborhood too happy to have that eyesore left undone. I left 30 years ago, still have family in, I wish I would have the nerve to ask them what they think, but since they still talk to me, don't want to rock the boat. -

Blurring of genders
by Saltheart Foamfollower inas sometimes happens at elders meetings with the co, he has a letter from the branch to read out.
this rarely is made available later so any policies have to be acted on from memory.
this visit a letter was read about blurring of the genders and in particular brothers dressing in a metrosexual style - tight clothing was mentioned again.

She is a different person since accepting Jesus . . .
by compound complex inthis morning, i was working at a home where the tv had been left on.
i listened in but didn't watch, for the most part.
ms. davis was flanked by her lawyer and another gentleman.

compound complex yes, in my day it would be putting on the new personality. However, you omitted a word in the other part about making a personal dedication to Jehovah. Today it would be making a personal dedication to Jehovah's organization.

James, that's exactly what I meant. There is no hypocrite like a saved hypocrite! Probably not coincidentally, many of the JWs I knew in the past, the ones who were the worldly wildest before "learning the truth" were the most nauseating uberJWs! -

cappytan Look it up before you start spouting about "left wing nuts". It's documented, all ever several reliable news sources and is well known in her community. She has had 4 marriages to 3 different men, 3 divorces, gave birth to twins five months after divorce from husband #1, they were fathered by husband #3 and adopted by husband #2. But she says that's not important because she has been saved.
