  Letter Read At Special Talk

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower arranged to have a letter read announcing that elders would now be apponted by circuit overseers.. any elders on this forum know how this will be different from the current arrangement for appointing elders.. it would be nice to see a schematic with boxes showing how it used to be and how it will be in the future..

  I would think that if this is intended to be used as a shield for liability that it would only cover, if at all, the elders MS that have been appointed SINCE the change in procedure. So the ones that were appointed by the FDS pre Sept1 2014 would still be on the hook for any issues.

  Or possibly do you think that after Sept 1 2014 and also after a CO visit, if one of the appointed men did something awry the WTBTS couls hang the blame on the CO for not removing the person, since it falls into his hand at that point in time.,

  Is my clinging on to a belief in a Creator doing me any harm?

  by KateWild in

  i use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.

  as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.

  i am happy to believe this.

  Here is a short 6 minutes or so video from Matt Dillahunty sharing why

  Consequences Of False Beliefs can be a bad thing.

  Anyone able to understand what he said just when he started talking out loud? Just before the "Rest In Peace generation that will not pass away" is hard for me to understand. Kinda sounded like he had been imbibing. I think that I remember hearing that he downed a glass of wine at the memorial.

  poor sod.

  i felt quite sorry for him in the end.. for context, i was brought up as a jw since i was very young.

  i left 6 years ago (faded) a little before turning 30. i was on here a lot around that time but under a different profile that's no longer active.. for the past 18 months, i'm back living in the territory of the congregation i grew up in.

  A few International Conv instructions (more ways to control)

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.

  congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.

  take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.

  How about a fake wallet with a bit of money in it for the contribution boxes. Someone needs to put some fake money with jwfacts.com on it to stuff into all the boxes. Some at each venue would let them know that there are apostates at each and every convention.

  Why are JWs so afraid of apostates?

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why are jws so afraid of apostates?

  their view of apostates seems to be out of the realm of the ordinary, the natural.

  its as if the words of apostates are supernatual or spiritistic as if apostates are some kind of jedi knights who can slightly wave their hands or twitch their eyes and bring one under a spell.

  It amazes me to think that the human mind can hear words in a certain order, from an apostate, and those words can unlock the minds to allow the person to free themselves from a mental prison. It's not like the person is learning new words for the first time, they are hearing the same words they are already familiar with, just in a new order being said. It can free the mind just as a key can unlock a lock, if it's not rusted shut.

  It's reading words and hearing talks and conversations that got us into the jw cult possibly it takes the same words, conversations to get us back out.

  by confusedandalone in

  2. experiences

  i definitely look like a worldly person by jw standards... however i went to my old hall because they are remodelling and they are in the final p[hase.

  it was not on purpose.

  i had bnusiness on the street and happened to drive past.

  I imagine they put the tour guide through some heavy debriefing. "What did the apostate say to you, He might have given you some coded info that will come out later"

  New "Donation Arrangement" is a DECOY!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  put yourself in the org's position - distasteful as that is - and come up with a solution to solve the problems of not only recovering their stock market losses, but also, ensuring an increase in their dwindling revenue stream.. the major problem is, donations are voluntary (with no future guarantees) whereas pledges are compulsory - in the heart and mind of the giver!.

  however, far too many will probably forget/refuse to keep up their monthly tax - with no way of knowing who is 'paying the man', and who is not.

  master stroke - make plan a 100% certainty to fail in the first year, based on the 'anonymity' of the setup.
