  It's curious it says Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society Toronto Canada. I wonder if it was only in Canada.

  I've personally never seen this publication or heard of it.

  I think it very plausible that he is facing health issues, possibly something terminal. Not at all unusual for a person of his age.

  There have been times when criminals have masqueraded as JWs to scope out a neighborhood. This JW could have been mistaken to have such an intent.

  Just looking at the JW.org app, it looks like they had 3 public edition WTs in 2021, then down to just one in 2022. The didn’t have a publication date, just No.1, 2, etc. It seems likely 2023 will have one later in the year.

  How Will They End 1914 Teaching?

  by EmptyInside in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.

  instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .

  they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .

  My observation is that none of the JWs I know really believe in the 1914 date beliefs. None of them could duplicate the reasoning/arithmetic or explain it at all. They don’t seem to care much about it.

  ROJW - Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by OrphanCrow in

  i was going through some research i had done a few years ago and came across something that referenced rojw healthcare support and a note to myself to take a look at rojw when i had the time.

  so i did a search for rojw (an acronym for religious order of jehovah's witnesses).. the search turned up some interesting bits of information.. according to dun & bradstreet, rojw was founded in 2011:.

  since 2011, rojw has been providing nonclassifiable establishments from wallkill.. for a list of persons who have worked for rojw:.

  WTBTS still had to pay for some benefits and fall under regulations like OSHA for their 'volunteers'.

  I think this is true. Worker's comp for injuries is a big issue. There are so many construction jobs going on, with non-professionals running about, that even with the best intentions and training, there are multiple injuries.

  Are they now tracking our activity on jw.org app?

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this disclaimer appeared on my jw.org app after using their add notes function on the watchtower study section are they now tracking the app and what we add to it?

  the information i add on their note section is mainly points that i can use on my videos which is really clashed as apostate material.this information is saved on my drive and not on cloud so are they installing a tracker on your system once you press accept so they can use this information against in the future?

  have you had a similar experience?.

  dedicate your life to jehovah, by being baptized as a jw - not as a christian.

  No doubt this was written in response to the historically low baptisms in the 2022 annual report (data through Sept, 22) which was just made public last week.

  What happened to Catholic church bashing.

  by Hellothere in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i remember back in the 80s almost every awake and watchtower magazine, think all, hade an article about how bad and evil catholic church was.

  what happened to all the bashing?

  was it because people in catholic countries got offended?

  My take:

  The religious ground from which the WT took root and initially grew was the US Protestant base, the same base from which the Adventists arose in the 1800's. There was a strong anti-Catholic rhetoric which was part of the culture. The hatred of Catholicism continued through the Rutherford years; Rutherford's bashing of Catholics and his public jabs with Father Coughlin were well known in the '30's. The anti-Catholicism diminished as they started to expand more outside the US, especially to the historically Catholic countries of the rest of the Americas. Nowadays they have to craft their message more carefully to appeal to other cultures, especially as the majority of JWs are not in the US anymore.
