A point which virtually every JW will miss in this week's book study

by sir82 in

jw

from this week's book study, the "draw close to jehovah" book, chapter 5:.

biologists have identified well over a million species of living things on earth; yet, opinions vary as to whether there may be as many as 10 million, 30 million, or more.. .

wow!

that stupid quote is over a 150 years old! I don't think Origin of the Species was even published when this assine "kinds" statement was made is some religious "science journal"

Memorial Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT "Witness" to Family and Friends

by AMNESIANO in

jw
friends

anyone who has awakened to ttatt and conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent individual from a prominent multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.

by this one concession s/he assigns him-/herself by every single jw to their handy and dimissive purgatory: the "spiritually-weak.".

nothing blasts a louder, clearer, and more deliberate message to the jws who personally knew you and those familiar with your jw bona fides that you are not merely "not making the meetings" or "spiritually-weak" but that there is a conscientious reason you have rejected the entire watchtower society life than choosing to forego what they know you know to be their one-and-only holy and sacred event of the year, the lord's evening meal.

ironically, as "observers" there is zero necessity for "us" to be there anyway. But the R&F would never really be able to fathom that

Misappropriation of funds (Project for an Assembly Hall in Guadalajara)

by avaddohn94 in

at the extj.com forum, a very serious scandal is being discussed regarding a potential misappropriation of funds by mexico's branch.. http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?24740-denuncia--quot-proyecto-fantasma-quot-salon-de-asambleas-de-guadalajara-o-robo-de-fondos.

though the situation may not be quite uncommon, below you will find an overview:.

a member of mexico's branch committee went to guadalajara to inform the brothers that a plot of land had been donated for the construction of an assembly hall.

the largest donation I have ever made was $20 and I have not donated a single penny for at least 10 years.

whenever they hand out papers to donate funds privately I never hand them in. One time I wrote down $400 but then I never donated it... and I was a believer back then! but I still didn't care. Even then I felt like our cong. was misusing the money

Dressed for Failure--drab colors in dress code

by WTWizard in

i noticed that, especially for men, that they are required to dress in drab colors for boasting sessions and in field circus.

men are supposed to wear dirty colored suits--dark gray, muddy brown, black, and off-shades of maroon, forest green, and navy/midnight blue seem to be most common.

they get hounded if they wear something in a "loud" color--meaning anything that is near one of the major points in the rainbow and near saturation (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or violet is most likely to result in a major hounding).
