Governing Body new Branch letter begging for donations !

i just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.

keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.

not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

MikeMusto

this is nothing new..usually even a watchower article about donations

Advice please: Would you loan your copy of Crisis of Conscience to your JW friends or create awareness/curiosity about its existence?

about 12 months ago i ordered the book.

i thought i was sinning against god - showing a lack of faith in him and in his organization.

i prayed to jah to forgive me but i was curious as to why a person, who spent over 50 years in full time service, was of the anointed and served on the governing body left "gods organization".

I start planting the seed after a convention

they will ask......."wasn't that a great convention"

and i will usually respond

"i have heard better"

that prepares them for the mental karate i lay on them down the road

saw this on the paradise cafe forum.

anyone know if there is any substance to these rumours?:.

unconfirmed issues at wt hq and chicago.

Bible Studies...how hard, how rare, anybody know a JW with one???

i find it interesting how many dubs of even 50 years old have never had a bible study (yet they go out most sat morns.

for two hours and turn in the slip) ...and how many dubs really want one?

(and is nt that the goal of service?

MikeMusto

a few pioneers in my cong have them..they are really stretching the term "bible study" with what is now considered

"doorstep" bible study......its really lame............if i talk to someone for 15 minutes on the doorstep on a r.v..it is considered a

bible study...even if you dont know it......lol

but really...many have bible studies..but few of these studies turn into active members

after the sunday culttower study is over, everyone will be expected to preach because the end is soooooooo close!.

[minimus i have added to the title so people can read yor correction.

otherwise i think people might just miss it.

MikeMusto

minimus- I have no more of an inside track than most "active" JW's other than the fact that I am extremly close to the elder body, live in Brooklyn, and am extremely close to the Bethelites that go to my cong. Again..the only change in public talks is that they are going to be 30 mins to allow the "friends" to associate more
