with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.
among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.
furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.
The thing is, how many people always, and only rely on an official site of a company or organization for information about that entity? I know that I don't, I google everything especially if its an investment in time or money. Do they really think that people will only go to jw.org for information about JWs.
They are essentially inviting the public to "google" JW's. This is going to be a backfire I think.
lol....please
dear brothers:.
you will be pleased to know that the governing body has approved displaying the official.
logo for jw.org on assembly halls and kingdom halls.
They are really doing this....
Dear Brothers:
You will be pleased to know that the Governing Body has approved displaying the official
logo for jw.org on Assembly Halls and Kingdom Halls. The sign should match the attached sample,
which shows the official design, color, and font. The sign should be displayed in an appropriate,
dignified way using a 12" x 12" or 20" x 20" size. It can be attached either to the existing Kingdom
Hall sign or to the Kingdom Hall itself as shown in the attached sample renderings. Please
keep the following guidelines in mind when you prepare the sign. You will find it helpful to involve
a brother or sister with technical experience and an understanding of what is presented below.
number one- fact-it was dangerously overcrowed.
ok its one thing dropping the ball on this one.
or they just didnt care.
Nassau sucks as a DC venue. So did the Met-Life Stadium from what I was told.
i attended my last meeting in january 2014, having realised that i'd been lied to for 20+ years (i'm now 43 y/o).
rumours spread of my 'apostasy'.. in may, cobe contacted me inviting me to a private meeting with elders at the kh.
(no mention of the meeting being a jc).
Yes they will, right after they've gossiped to their wives, children, etc. about your apostasy and how far gone you are. Their families will in turn spread the gossip to all who will listen. So not really a fade persay, but you are free nonetheless so congratulations
yes, you read that correctly.
last night during the service meeting, the cobe gave an announcement that we should start printing or using jw.org for any special literature such as the daily text, the yearly calendar, etc... he also mentioned to please cancel any orders of the wt and awake on cds because no one is picking them up and they are piling up.. .
my question is, where did this elder get this info from?
overzealous application of that elder letter that was referenced above. to be honest I dont blame them, most of the industrialized world is heading all digital anyway. where internet penetration is still low they will continue to print literature for them and the latest tithing controversy is most likely to continue to pay for that in part.
if push came to shove and it was a showdown for loyalty to the organization or not following whatever decrees coming heir way, what percentage would remain loyal to the organization?
.
No. I really doubt that most people would do that. The wack jobs that think they are annointed and special will do it so that they can get their "reward" quicker.
it seems i am going to have to teach people to use a tablet as part of my job and i don't even have one!
any advice would be most helpful please.. i keep reading blurb on amazon etc and now i'm really confused.
what should i buy?
I have both and I find that I use the iPad more for games, the app selection is vast and good for the most part. My Nexus I use for multimedia consumption, web browsing, email. I'd say get both its good to be familiar with more than one OS anyway.
i continue to be stunned by posters reporting on the convention, lamenting the convention, complaining about going in serve-us and meetings, and yet continuing to participate in these activities.. a simple question.
how long have you done these things, fully knowing it is absolute bullshit?.
i couldn't handle it for more than six months before i basically outed myself.
12 years
it seems some inactive ones and active jws are hardly ever bothered by the elders while others are constantly called, checked up on, etc...... what gives?.
Who knows. Since I am still serving I can only speak for my body, they only "bother" people when the CO is around since he asks and whenever the Branch wants to make one their "special efforts" to reach out to lost sheep. otherwise they could care less. If you have faded but start becoming vocal, and public about TTATT then the CO would probably instruct the body to seek you out to "offer loving assistance".
it seems to me that jw's really don't care about doctrine.
ephesians chapter 4 verse 11 "and he gave some as apostles others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry for the building up of the body of christ until we attain the unity of faith and knowledge of the son of god to mature manhood to the extent of the full stature of christ so that we may no longer be in infants tost by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery from their cunning in the interest of deceitful scheming".
is it just me or does this verse totally annihilate the doctrine or belief in new light.
Many jws only care what jws see them doing
This is so true and this fact is what makes it difficult for some JWs to leave the org. Fear of losing friends, family, pretty much your entire social structure is frightening to JWs. Therefore, if a doctrine is show by someone else to be false, they will simply ignore it and carry on with their social club. My wife suffers from this and I can not find a way around it..
