  "I am not prepared for this"

  This is basically where my wife is at now. Keeping up appearances for family's sake, and holding on to scraps of faith in god.

  i have served 20 years as an elder, 5 years as an ms. was on the district committee in 2010, held various positions on the district , circuit, and rbc level.

  probably been on more than 100 judicial committees and even an appeals committee.

  Kingdom Hall remodel - scam

  by Dagney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering from any here in the know, does it seem like there is a lot of "remodels" going on?.

  in the last week i had the occasion to talk with two jw's in different halls, about 10 miles apart.

  they both are undergoing major remodels.

  Seeing a LOT of remodels going on by us. Either a congregation has just remodeled, is in the process of, or is going to - one congregation is even upgrading to a new hall (despite 0% growth in the past 20 years)

  Is this the society sprucing up its real estate assets before an anticipated "drop" in first-world, Internet-savvy countries? Dissolving and then combining congregations and selling off updated halls would make a pretty decent source of revenue.

  How will the WT spin China???

  by Freeof1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i read an article this morning on how china is quickly reaching even footing with the united states in all aspects; military, economic etc.

  the article continued saying how it was imperative that the united states recognize that it would be forced to behave accordingly or risk ddestabilizing the world.

  another interesting statement was made that sooner rather than later the u.s. would become the 2nd largest economy falling behind china.

  Dispensing food at the proper time worldwide in over 120 countries. . . . Just like McDonald's

  This bunch is more out of touch than we can imagine. Equating the "progress" made by studying for 5 years with an adult to studying with a five year old. . . Clueless. . . .

  Link to Golden Age 1925 prediction- primary evidence of JW cock-up on Archive.org

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  trying to convince a jw that the wt predicted 1925 is hard because they won't look at anything from 'apostate' sites.

  but the american archive organisation is a disinterested organisation who publishes anything ever printed in america online for research and scholarship purposes.

  they are not apostates because they publish all religious, political, judicial, legislative etc online for the public to research.

  Signs of a Cult.. William Branham Cult

  by tornapart in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is very interesting, this guy was a cult member for 37 years.

  replace 'william branham' for jw and you can see clearly what a cult really is.

  he uses 10 points from steven hassan's book 'combatting cult mind control'.

  If this guy was a medic in the Veitnam conflict I wonder if he saved more lives, or caused more deaths? He seems awfully opinionated and childishly simple minded.

  I have my doubts that he was a medic. . . Maybe it makes him feel better to believe that.

  Isn't there another thread discussing the veracity of his Nam narrative?
