Why are the world's anointed not called to Brooklyn to be Governing Body?
by free2beme in
1. jw
2. friends
when i was in the witnesses, and near the end of my time in.

there was the whole new understanding, of putting non-anointed people in positions in the organization that were normally something an anointed person would be in.

i remember them mentioning that the amount of anointed was dwindling and there needed to be people in these positions of responsibility, to make sure the work continues.. after this was highlighted and all good witnesses swallowed this thinking hook line and sinker.

Do Individual JWs Pay For The Publications They Distribute?
by Joe Grundy in
1. jw
2. friends
excuse my ignorance, and i've read on boards about the us not selling/inviting contributions issue, but do individuals jws in effect pay for the publications they give out?

if so, is that only for their magazines or for hardback books as well?

how is this organised, please?.

Have you ever lived in an RV fulltime?
by moshe in
1. jw
2. friends
i spent about one year in 1982 living in a 32 ft travel trailer.

our home had burned down on jan 10th,1982 at night- -30 deg f. my wife, 2 yr old son, 4 yr old daughter and i traveled to many states that year.

many people dream of living the life of a free gypsy- no ties to any one place- north in the summer-south in the winter, living in a travel trailer or motorhome.

what proves jw's aren't true?
by jwfacts in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i am inactive and it took years of doubt to convince myself the jw's arent true.

i started doubting because i hated the idea that jehovah would kill 6 billion non-jw's.

the thing now that is the most important proof for me is that until 1954 jw's worshipped jesus and it is still in the watchtower charter, even though you now get disfellowshipped for worshipping jesus.
