  WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site

  by Quotes in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

  the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

  my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

  How Were You Affected By Elder/Ministerial Servants/Pioneer Appointments?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  were you ever affected by seeing a man or even a teenager being made a ministerial servant or a young man being appointed an elder-----knowing that the person is not really qualified?

  you could be thinking, "i can't believe he gets to be an elder when my husband (or brother or father or friend) is doing everything but headstands for the elders!

  " when such appointments were made did you see to it that you would not go to that person for direction or counsel?

  Re: telling on one another

  by A Paduan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  read this on another board about jws "telling on one another" .

  sad and pathetic to the point of being humourous .

  if things started to go wrong in the congregation (no increase in publishers/bible studies, teenagers playing up, contributions down) they would say jehovah was witholding his spirit from the congregation because someone must be sinning secretly and thus offending his spirit, and this is why the congregation wasn't flourishing.

  2. bible

  wonderful words from the co at the assembly.

  not only are we in the last days, we are in the "last days of the last days", and that the fall of religion and the start of the great tribulation is so close.

  hah, even went so far as to say "possibly within a year".

  2. experiences

  i always felt unique from everyone else.

  being a jw i never quite felt like i was from the same planet as all the other school children.

  as a jw i fit in, but still not quite, as i was a bit too indepentdant a thinker.

  This would be a good Question from readers about Judicial Committees

  by scrubmaster in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  .

  this would be a good questions from readers.......having read several scriptures about how the judges heard judicial case in the public court yard..so that all would see that true justice was served and know why a person was being stoned if it should come to type of punishment...what scriptural bases does the society have for conducting judicial cases in secret and then expect everyone to shun(stone) some one with out knowing what the crime was.

  i would love so see what scriptures if any they could come up with.
