  JW.ORG delivering food to JWs in California

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.

  50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".

  unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?

  "It is the USDA program “Farmers to Families” it’s meant to be for food banks and religious organizations that support them".

  That's exactly what I thought.

  Explains why they were told not to talk about it on social media.

  They are even taking credit for it making the R&F think that the organization is paying for the food.

  My family is doing just fine financially and so is my friend that got his deliveries.

  So many people are having a rough go of it and JW.ORG is taking what SHOULD be going to food banks.

  Shameful.

  Does anybody have any ideas? Is this going on in other parts of the country?

  My thoughts about Watchtower fully owned "independent" lawyer firm / Dutch case

  friends,.

  of course we have the vampire story, but this is what i'm thinking of now:.

  in the current dutch jw.org law cases about child abuse and religion rights the jw.org is represented by shane brady, partner of w. glen how & associaties.

  The fact that they have made a website for a law-firm that seems to work ONLY for JW.ORG is really weird.

  I think you are right Gorby

  Since so much artwork in WT is starting to resemble propaganda posters from totaluitarian regimes, I submit this...

  @Vidiot...Just the way I worded it.

  Of course it's always been propaganda in style but what I meant was it looks more like the propaganda posters from my cold war childhood.

  District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

  there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

  they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.

  I am in California.
  

  Any thoughts?

  New Watchtower president

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the main corporation is two words "watch tower" society of pennsylvania.

  don adams took over for milton henschel in 2000 when the governing body cut all corporate ties, and when he died robert ciranko took over for him in 2014.. the next major corporation in line is the one word "watchtower" society of new york.

  the jw's first black corporate president, leon weaver jr., was president of this one up until recently.

  So what was the point of that fluff piece video exactly?

  I mean why the hell did they go to the trouble to produce it?
