Rewriting J. Witness mistakes.

by edmond dantes in

if the governing body could turn back time and do a rewrite or change their past teachings what would be their top priority ?.

would they have to eliminate everything and start again?.

any one want to tell them what to shred before forensics arrive?.

If they could just have created ink that will vanish after a few years, everything would be alright.

Hubby is doing research on D'fing to present to the CO

by cognac in

he thinks the light needs to get brighter on this so we are going to put a report together to give to the co. it's really bothering him because his dad was d'ffed for over 15 years - he has schizophrenia and even a co said he didn't think he should have ever been d'ffed to begin with.

he went to texas to save a woman from cockroaches - clearly this was because of his mental state.

he got f'ffed for that because they said he cheated on his wife and even if he didn't he had no business putting himself in that position.

Tell him to look up the Jan 8, 1947 Awake page 27 about excommunication and how the JWs said that it was unbiblical.

I Was Offered A Bible Study By The Elders

by minimus in

2 elders, the cobe and his sidekick, a former bethelite and a young ms (elder in waiting) stopped by my mom's home while i was visiting with her.

they were very congenial and eventually asked me if i got invited to the memorial and whether they could arrange a future visit with me and a possible study.

i thanked them and told them i appreciated their invitation but that i was going to "pass at this time" but thanked them for their concern.. they recited a "wonderful experience" about a young man that was raised in the "truth" but wanted out so he decided to go to asia where he could not be found by witnesses.

A Loving god would have had a JW standing there at the gate at LAX before he was to board his flight to Asia, have you been on one of those flights to Japan? OMG!!!

The TENSION of unbearable BELIEF

by Terry in

i have a personal theory about russell, rutherford and franz.. it extends to end times religious people in general.. that is, highly intelligent...end times believers.... .

there is a tension to believing something that never seems to overlap with reality.. your intelligence keeps flashing "something's wrong".. but, your deeply held convictions (faith) tells you to shut the f**k up!.

so, you live your live with a "gnawing" away at your brain.

Kingdom Hall remodel - scam

by Dagney in

i was wondering from any here in the know, does it seem like there is a lot of "remodels" going on?.

in the last week i had the occasion to talk with two jw's in different halls, about 10 miles apart.

they both are undergoing major remodels.

Worse case scenario you would think that they might place a lein on the property until the loan was paid off, to assure that the WTBTS gets the loan proceeds back. But once the loan is paid off

then the lein is released and everybody is happy.

Kinda crazy thinking that they are handing over the deed AND paying back a loan on a remodel.

How many angles can they get money from?

many people will scoff at the thought that the org will collapse.

i agree that it will never collapse but the crumbling has begun.

think about the following.....they have a serious lack of potential future leaders.

What about the investing in Hedge funds, does this not show that they are taking more risk with what used to be our money?

I was told that the reason for the closings of some of the branches in other parts of the world was due to this new "cloud computing" that would make the branches obsolete.

I now think that it might be to cut expenses in countries where it cost more to run than it brings in.
