  There is NO annual service report in the Janaury 1st WT

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  well, i have confirmed rumors that have gone around about there being no annual service report for the january 1st, 2005 issue.. .

  it seems, for reasons unknown, that the watchtower has ended another decades long tradition.

  in the second study article for the january 1st, 2005 watchtower, entitled, "trained to give a thorough witness," paragraph 24 reads: .

  I as far as i know all data is trasmitted electronically to Brooklyn,...

  So the real reason is not to dilute (or actually dilute?) the report with the "celebration" of the delivery of Bush's renewed chair. It got worn out after an elephants and a dunkey seating on it, you know.

  BEDsides, I can't figure why bUSH dont like camels, after all a camel is just an overgrown dunkey. In fact it is the result of the pentagon efforts in trying to re-desing the dunkey for exporting.

  did i go on tangent here ?

  i remember as a jw asking jehovah many time to find my keys so i wouldn't be late for field service or work.

  sometimes i had to ask 2 or 3 time but it never failed.

  jehovah always made sure i found those keys.

  Could WBTS be forced to pay tax in America?

  by Gadget in

  in another thread link said: .

  i am not well versed in u.s. tax laws but it is my understanding that even in the u.s.anyone making loans on which interest is charged is considered to be operating a taxable business.

  in the u.k. the societies loans are interest free but they take control of the building once the loan has been completely repaid.

  Less emphasis on 1914?

  by richard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not sure if this subject has been touched before but i noticed that since the turn of the millennium, the watchtower has paid less attention to "1914".

  that is to say, when checking the frequency of the term '1914' in the watchtower from 1970-2003 through the wt-library 2003, there is a notable decrease after 1999. see the attached graph.

  would that be a significant development or just statistical coincidence?

  Old news is no news, why read yesterday paper, specially if the news is "invented", unreal.

  GB is realizing their 1914 good news, is approaching the critical 100 days, I mean 100 years and rank and file are "cronological" much younger (but obviously as senile as their "mother").

  Whats Your View on most JW's

  its safe to assume that many jw's come on here and just read posts.

  in fact i did it for several months before posting anything.

  i have seen many, many helpful posts giving encouragement, etc.

  I dont buy the sfuff about being blinded by the group etc etc, look when you reach at "legal" age... heck long before that anyway common sense was part of you thinking stlyle options.

  Probably you are a auto mechanic instead of of brick layer or electrician just because you used your freedom to choose and common sense.

  Unless we were born with some kind of birth defect, not uncommon but unnoticed, we choosed not to be shunned and "reported" (not even participated that hard) between 4 to 12 hours in field service...

  If your common sense pushed you to do that, why it did not pushed you to question some doctrines, talk to wordly people, go to libraries and read about anything to enhance your knowledge about religion and history.

  Why? because we are or were ignorant or braindead (ignorance means a lot... it is not my intention to define the word nor all the consecuences of having our bags full of it)

  Those who overcome the two "cristian qualities" mentioned above and STAY, eventually become cinical and predators (to take advantage by my personal dictionary)

  So what is your view of JW's in general. Are they deceived, brain-washed, people in need of help to realize the truth or Are they callous, cold hearted, and self-righteous losers?

  if a reality check is being nasty, let it be. BUT the quote above is equally and totally true. Since this topic is an intention to help, i beleive, is NECCESARY to go to the root of the problem, and that is, first of all, making an assesment about the personality and capabilty of the affected person (jws) involved.

  ignorant (mostly),

  braindead (good percentage, which fall into the first category anyway)

  and predators (elite), that is exactly what they ARE, not what have been done to them.

  my mother just told me that my brother was told by his elders that because he attended my daughter's wedding, he was not going to be allowed any privileges, including "handling the microphones".

  my elder friend that also went to the wedding told me he was being deleted too.
