This newly leaked letter PROVES the WTS are hypocrates and do not speak the truth.

by Dunedain in

after reading this newly leaked letter, something profoundly "hit" me.

myself, being born a "witness", and most of us here, who have learned their teachings for years, know of the "importance" the gb/wts always placed on the watchtower and awake magazines, themselves.. from the magazines inception, from back in probably the 1920's, or somewhere that far back, the wts claimed that the preaching work, and specifically the distribution of these magazines, were a sign of the times, and a fulfilment of bible prophecy in these last days.

they would compare the watchtower magazine to a "stinging scorpion", claiming those magazines fulfilled that verse in revelation.

How about the fact, that this organization is called - "The Watchtower, bible, and tract society". Yet here, at the 11th hour, at the "end" of the "end", the magazine that is LITERALLY THE NAMESAKE OF THIS ORGANIZATION, is reduced to every OTHER month.

Why, did they use to "Announce Jehovahs Kingdom" via the Watchtower, 4 times a month, but now when the "work" should be at its biggest level yet, are they "Announcing Jehovahs Kindom" only every OTHER month.

Why are they laying off Bethelites, ALL OVER THE WORLD, not just the U.S., but even in the supposed countries that the work is "increasing".

Why have they stopped building Kingdom Halls, and increasing projects.

This is the "LAST DAYS", they have been touting about how they and only they, have been fulfilling bible prophesy with their work, and its increase only means that Jehovah is blessing them and with them. So, does this DECREASE, in ALL aspects of ALL of their work, mean that Jehovah is NO longer blessing them, and with them.

They would compare the Watchtower magazine to a "stinging scorpion", claiming those magazines fulfilled that verse in Revelation. The Watchtower magazines were always "trumpeted" as the "mouthpiece" of Jehovah. LITERALLY SAYING IT ANNOUNCED HIS KINGDOM.

Over the years the GB/WTS made great claims about how the magazines themselves continued to increase and increase, in both production, and distribution. Again, this, in their own rhetoric, claimed to prove there authenticity, and "showed" that we were in the last days, and fulfilling bible prophesy, with them doing the preching work, and using the Watchtower magazine as Gods mouthpiece.

With all of these rhetoric, and the emphasis placed on the Watchtower magazines, wouldnt, if we were really in the LAST DAYS, the Watchtower magazines production and distribution BE INCREASING. If the Watchtower mags were specifically to be the "stinging message", from God, to "reveal" the hypocrisy of Christendom, and Gods mouthpiece in these last days, why are they reducing to nearly a fraction of what they were, even just a few years ago.

Have the "scorpions sting" become DULL. Is the scorpions venom, loosing its toxicity. Are the scorpions "dieing", and withering away.

These are the "last days", the work should be increasing 10 fold. The "mouthpiece" that is the Watchtower magazine, should be increasing by leaps and bounds. Why at the "end", right before the big A, are these magazines going from being produced twice a month to once every other month. It disproves, their own false proclamations, that they would be increasing the "work" at the end of days.

Instead, its becoming mor watered down BS.

Is the WT SLOW-ly Changing the importance of the Door to Door preaching work to something more profitable?

by John Aquila in

its been a couple of weeks since a new c.o.

was appointed to the circuit and im starting to hear tidbits of his talks..

one brother told me that in one of his talks he asked the question; .

Dunedain

Wouldnt it be soooo hypocrytical for them to stop the D2D work, when for YEARS they were claiming that ONLY they followed the model that Jesus set, by sending his disciples 2 by 2 and door to door.

DONT FORGET, THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST, SELF PROCLAIMING, "REASONS", THAT THEY CLAIM TO BE THE TRUE RELIGION. The SPECIFIC act of going D2D, and following Jesus SPECIFIC example, of 2 at a door, is their whole foundation.

I would be mind blown, if they stopped that, and it would instantly prove their falshood, to MANY.

What is the most strange action of a witness while out in field service?

i was paired with this older "brother" when i was a teenager.

he was very very strange.

he was a nice guy but goofy.

I remember an older brother who would have a ton of return visits all over the different territories. The problem was, that 90 percent of these return visits, were just people, mostly other older men, that he would just small talk with. NEVER, anything about the Kingdom, or even the bible for that matter. He would just be talking about the weather, or current events, baseball games, like if the Yankees were doing good this year, or if the Knicks had a team or not, lol. His many return visits were just going around and shooting the s@#t.

Funny thing is that when he would bring certain brothers to these specific return visits, they would usually just let him do his thing and BS about the weather and sports, but on a few occasions when they would chime in and start talking about the bible, they were actually thrown out and told never to come back, and they were return visits for YEARS, lol.

Its funny, the more i am thinking about it, the more i am remembering. I remember going to the door and i was working with a very, uptight, conservative older sister. The kind of woman where if you were around her, you had to "fake" being anything other than a phony robot the whole time. Well, we were just about done, and were at like the last door for the day, and the door was answered by some middle aged guy who opened the door ALL the way, wide open, to "reveal" himself standing in NOTHING but his tighty, whitey undies. Not boxers, not a bathing suit, NOPE, those tight white brief underwear. I couldnt help but laugh, and this sister was clearly disturbed by it, but she still went into her BS message, like nothing, lol.

@ Truthseeker100, - I actually heard of a similar story, at the door to door work on Staten Island NY, many years ago. Except it was an alder German brother, and there was a big, barking, mean dog, "gaurding" the door. The older German brother was like "dont worry, Jehovah will protect us", in his German accent, and he went right up to the dog and whacked it on its nose, with a pair of gloves. The big dog allowed them to ring the bell and got outta there way, lol.

Actually, i just remember one that happened to me. I was working a block with my ex-wife as my partner, and another couple, doing house over house. The other couple went to a door where an older man told them "not interested". Later on, while we were still on this block, that same older guy was up a ladder on his front lawn, cleaning his gutters. Well, the ladder must have slipped out, and he got tossed, falling down to the ground behind some bushes. We all saw it, and ran over, and helped the old geezer, like "good little christians". We got his wife, who was inside the house, and helped to call 911, and all that good stuff.

I will never forget, how everybody was saying that Jehovah or the angels, must have made sure we were there, so that we could have helped him, especially since he fell behind bushes, and may not have been found if we didnt see it. But, how STUPID is that line of thinking, because if that was the case, then why wouldnt Jehovah or the angels have just made sure the old guy didnt fall in the first place, lol.

I got 2 really wierd/funny/strange ones, that happened to my father, not me. These happened back in the 70's before i was born, probably. One, was a woman answered the door, and had a "blank" look on her face the whole time. My father went into his normal presentation, anyway, but then at about halfway thru, the woman while continuing to "stare" and never saying a word, started having some white liquid, like milk, heavily pour out of her mouth. Lol, my father, who was never an uptight, stick up his ass JW, just started laughing, and him and the other bro walked away.

The other one was that the homeowner was a middle aged man, and he opened the door, and stood there listening to the "message", only to pass out and fall on the floor backwards, like a plunge into a pool. I honestly, dont know what happened after that, i am assuming my father helped the guy, or something, lol, who knows.

Your assignment , to be an Guardian Angel.

by James Mixon in

your assignment to watch over brother xxx for the next 80 years.

some guardian angels are assigned to protect and guide a particular person, group, kingdom or country.

the assignment to watch over one person sounds boring, is it a 24 hour thing.. what happen when his assigned person get into a altercation with another person assigned by another angel, do they make bets who will win.

Dunedain

LOL, you guys are sick. Or, is it the angels that are sick, lol, idk.
