American English Standards Manual, 9/98 ¡leaked!

by hildebrando in

"the rules and principles of the standards manual are applied to english text so that the english publications of the watch tower society have a consistent style.. the standards manual does not set standards for languages other than english.

each language has its own principles and characteristics to which to conform.

see branch organization for the function of the english manual with respect to other languages.. legitimate exceptions to principles of the standards manual may be appropriate for somefeature of text that has specialized content or purpose.

I'm confused! Just what is the "new" donation arrangement and how is it like "tithing"?

by booker-t in

i've been out so long but many of my ex-jws friends have been telling me of a "new" donation/tithing arrangement the wts is using today.

when i was a jws we had "contribution" boxes at the back of the kh and the elders would give talks about contributing to the kingdom interest.

we were not forced to give but gave as we pleased.

Entertainment for International Delegates

by Listener in

bibl3thumper has posted a youtube of the celebrations that took place for german delegates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvs6_q7rqps&feature=em-subs_digest.

it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.

there have been some posts recently regarding the net worth of the organization.

unfortunately not all countries have the same transparency requirements, but if they did it would be incredible.. another poster recently posted this website :.

Prodigal Son

by exwhyzee in

i thought this was kinda' funny...a friend of ours just posted a instagram photo of the guy who played the prodigal son (josh orton) in the jw video, giving the sunday talk this morning at the hall he is attending.. there are a lot of ooooh and aaaaah comments about this guys celebrity status and people claiming to have known him or been in the same congregation as he was.. one of the people who commented on the photo is the on again off again sarcastic jw brother-in-law of our friend.. he said " nice to see that the prodigal son is doing so much better now".
