  If anyone ever makes the claim that they don't focus on Money ALL the time...

  by HiddenPimo in

  i saw this mentioned on reddit but no link - i found the article form this weeks bible study..... in the “congregation bible study” part of the meeting this week there was a part that said and i quote: “only jehovah god and his son can receive someone into the heavenly kingdom or the paradise on earth under that kingdom.

  we should diligently cultivate friendship with them by using what material riches we have in supporting kingdom interests”.

  For years the wt has hammered higher education so for years the many have only gravitated to s*** jobs with menial pay this must correspond therefore to a diminished funding base.

  As a JW Did You Prefer a “Stricter” Congregation or a More Liberal One?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my experience, there were three types of witnesses.

  some were barely witnesses while others were extremely conservative types who followed the letter of the law.

  and then you had those in the middle who just went with the flow.. i knew many witnesses who “felt safe” being in a stricter environment.they were actually proud that they belonged to such and such congregation because it was filled with strict bethelites..

  "The buildings always smelled of pee" Punkofnice..

  In the various kh I have entered there is one thing to be noticed its the obsession about opening windows; they never do. This is particularly bad where two or more congs share a kh.

  KHConf - I had no idea how big it has become!

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are a jw in the us or canada, you probably already know about "khconf".

  it is a business that has been set up (presumably by some jws somewhere) that supplies call-in numbers and teleconferencing for shut-ins to listen to kingdom hall meetings.. they have their own website: www.khconf.com.. .

  what i didn't know is how much they've spread!

  Anybody seen this Doco. about Yahweh Ben Yahweh on TV.?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wife and i watched it last night on tv.. "uncovered: the cult of yahweh ben yahweh on oxygen tv.channel .i`m in vict.aust.. he must have been a charismatic person to gain so many followers in his early days when he created the "nation of yahweh" starting off in the miami area in the early 1980`s ?

  and it spread throughout a number of "states" including ny state i believe.. he set up many places of worship and apparently gained a lot of wealth with his many activities & not all christ like .. he was not adverse to using thug like standover tactics when it suited him.. why i`m bringing this up here is i don`t think the wt/jw `s ever commented on his activities seeing he was using god`s name with the proper pronunciation.and he was gaining converts in their own territory so to speak.. they were always attacking the catholic religion at any given opportunity ,however as far as i can tell they never commented on his rise to fame and his ultimate fall from grace.. overall it was an interesting program .

  Ding. "He claimed it didn't happen in the US because they report all such allegations to the police here."

  There is another posting hereabouts referring to jw's as clueless.

  Has he been told about Candace Conti and her case or the 34 Million pay out to another two women in Montana?

  In the fullness of time if/when govts turn on the wt they are going to have to force jw's to read to look and see with their own eyes the chicanery and the cases of abuse so they can not any longer deny it happened.

  Thus following the pattern set by Gen. Eisenhower when a GI camera man was filming in a Nazi death camp. Eisenhower said to the GI.." keep filming, in a few years time no one will believe this happened."

  Vidiot. Ask your mum to ask the elders for the wt policy on child abuse and watchthe reaction, from her and the elders if she does.

  Unique JW Phrases 101

  what unique to jws phrases do you remember?

  something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.

  there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.

  Another Doctrinal Flip-Flop As Of Oct 2019 - RE: Locusts In Joel 2

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's seems that even the revised edition of the book revelation: it's grand climax a hand was wrong again.. in the 2019 agm david splane "clarified our understanding of the prophecy recorded in joel 2".

  clarified?

  you mean he done a 180 reversal.. from revelation: it's grand climax a hand page 143, para.
