  Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

  .. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

  instead of preaching and saving people??.

  Showed my wife the video - her jaw hit the floor.

  BOC:"Not the religion we were raised in, is it honey?"

  WIFE:"No. That was really disturbing."

  Keep more of this propaganda coming, governing body!

  is coming and the elder wanted to set up a visit.

  it's not like i wasn't warned.

  there was a thread that talked about the push to call on inactive ones.. thanks to the heads up here, i knew the motive for the call.. i don't think i even know that eld.

  Ignore them, and if they somehow try to corner you, i.e. show up at your house unexpected, tell them "Thanks but I would prefer not to. Have a good day gentlemen"

  Misquote in the Creation Book

  by ILoveTTATT in

  my dad came into the jw's because someone studied the "creation" book with him.

  it pains me deeply that he sent me an e-mail recently saying that to keep the peace with my mom, he will stop communicating with me as much as possible.

  i should communicate with him only if i have an emergency.. it upsets me to no end, but i cannot do anything or much about it.

  ..and if they do "count the time", do you think that they type very slowly?.

  I believe they count double time and-a-half when they come here.

  Congregation Pledge Disgusted Elder

  by rrb2016 in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  at the meeting the other night, the elder who had to read the announcements, which included the $$ info for the new donation arrangement seemed downright disgusted as he read the announcements and asked for the vote.

  he said, "well, here is another organizational change" as he read the letter about the discontinuation of the 2nd meeting during co visit.

  then after they voted, he said if you have any questions ask this other elder as if he wanted nothing to do with it.

  The numbers for the monthly payment being reported on this board seem quite low: $300, $500. . . . . I hardly think this is what watchtower had in mind when this letter went out. I wouldn't doubt if the elders will be "encouraged" to increase their donations into the $1000 range (or higher) by the CO or additional correspondance from HQ.

  this site is probably one of the most informative jw sites on the internet.

  if you want to keep abreast of the watchtower, this is a great place to find out the latest in jw land.

  kudos to simon for keeping it going all these years!!!

  so, i'm quite excited but also slightly freaked out as i'm able to go this summer instead of next like i had counted on (my daughter graduates next year and i was planning to go then).

  this means i'm doing this last minute and i wanted to see if any of you have used https://www.go-today.com or gateone travel or go ahead travel?.

  i'm planning on london, paris and rome for two weeks, likely july at this point.
