I understand the frustration, you are not alone.
The relatively low levels of education in this part of the world means religion will reign supreme regardless of the quality of the religions.
Unfortunately the indoctrination of the WT's false teachings penetrate all levels of education. We are unique because truth was more important to us.

why do the 144,000 need sealing?.
what does it mean that the angels hold back the winds so that the sealing can take place?.
where is the great multitude?.
144k on earth - great crowd in heaven
LOL Doug
I couldn't stop laughing. 40 years in the WT and I never caught that.
ok, i didnt think anything about it.
but last night some friends from across the city called me up and said that the co was visiting their hall and in his talk he said that the society is getting geared up for a massive kingdom hall and assembly hall construction project worldwide next year.
they told the publishers; "get ready".

Plus each one they sell off, then build again with free labor
Free Labor, that's the thing I believe most of us forget. Free labor is like money in the bank. Can you imagine if you had 5 million people for free labor and to do your bidding. They would work for you and you didn't have to pay them.
the number of pyramids in the world just keep going up and up.
an egyptoligist thinks using satellite scanning technology he has found the remnants of another 17 pyramids in the egypt.
in central and south american they keep finding more pyramids and in java a couple of years ago they surmised that the riuns their was actually a step pyramid possible the oldest in the world.

I think we will find that this style of building was easier for ancient people to go higher with. But in ancient times, the same heavy material was used all the way up, so all they really knew was to start with a huge base and to get smaller the higher up they went.
Hey that's the best explanation I've heard yet. It's simple, it makes sense, and it's not filled with a lot of crock.
advance directives are complex legal instruments and widely misunderstood by both physicians and their patients.
with most jehovah's witnesses their is a significant level of misinformation, and in many cases coercion or undue influence exerted on the patient.
physicians need to be aware of this and always meet privately with the patient to educate them and then ascertain their true wishes.

The JW patient is given a document which lists the various blood fractions - including hemoglobin (the largest single component of blood besides water) and told to study the relevant scriptures and prayerfully make a conscientious choice
This is unreal, I feel like this is a joking conversation, but it's not.

Maybe, they put this out there, the work stoppage, to set up the apostates into publishing "lies".
I was thinking the same thing K. We've been set up.

The reality is in order for the money to keep coming in they need to tell the members their building, but of course we knowDesirousOfChange
It's my understanding that the announcement concerning the halt in construction was only given at Bethel, and nothing was said to the local Congs
So we're the only ones who know besides the GB and Bethelites? WTF

I noticed that the blood card says something like, "Might accept some blood fractions"
So what is a jw patient to do if the doctor says; "Which fractions will you accept?"
That been a current question some JWs are asking. "Which fractions are OK besides Albumin which I believe is listed on the card.

Ok, I didn’t think anything about it. But last night some friends from across the city called me up and said that the CO was visiting their Hall and in his talk he said that the Society is getting geared up for a massive Kingdom Hall and assembly hall construction project worldwide next year. They told the publishers; "GET READY"
He encouraged those with skills and young brothers to be ready to say the words;
(Isaiah 6:8) . . .“Here I am! Send me.”
Those that can’t volunteer, if they want to support Jehovah’s work, they can show their loyalty by donating money on a regular basis, for construction work, APART from what they pledge for the Kingdom Hall.
I hung up and laughed.
Then I saw a post by wifibandit today that confirms what this brother told me last night.
What is going on?
I thought the WT has stopped all construction.
