Hypothetical: If WTS Reformed...?

by Cold Steel in

as i said in the subject line, this is purely hypothetical.

what do you think would happen if the wtbts leaders decided to reboot some of the organization's more controversial practices.

not that they would deny their claims to be jehovah's earthly representatives, nor the key elements of their eschatology; but in administrative outlooks.

If these changes were actually implemented, particularly the shunning, and my family suddenly said they'd talk to me again i'd tell them to take a hike. Shunning your own flesh and blood for simply not wanting to be a JW is just wrong.

Im so glad im a not JW anymore. This is not a healthy relationship at all. She'd be hell of earth to live with (in fact i dated someone very much like her for 3 years when i was younger).

As for him, he's also not someone i would want to be around. One of those Jdubs that are into sports and Jehovah and have nothing else about them worth talking about.

WOW - 18 Elders in ONE congregation!!!

by The Searcher in

hazel grove congregation in stockport, cheshire, u.k.. not only is the congregation saturated with elders, it is/was pretty well saturated with cash - according to its 2014 financial statement to the charities commission.

http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/accounts/ends82/0001066282_ac_20140331_e_c.pdf.

its elders are listed as frank broadhurst, nick ashton, nigel bailey, noel crossley, peter davies.

Something tells me the Sidebotham family are "strong" in this hall... either that or nepotism is rife. We had a similar thing in the congregation i grew up in. You were pretty much guaranteed an elder position if you belonged to a certain family.

Governing Body Member Gerrit Lösch - What The Near Future Holds

by pale.emperor in

another talk from my channel.. gerrit lösch - what the near future holds.

apparently, jehovah god has "revealed" the future to us... unfortunately in 2008 when this talk was given he didnt reveal to them the mass downsizing of bethel staff and buildings, the child molestation payouts and many many changes to doctrine.. https://youtu.be/d8pvnrv5s94.

pale.emperor

They should've sent Stephen Lett to the royal commission. That would've been cruel but comedy gold. The old fool would wind up committed.

Its a far cry from what Rutherford was, narcissistic - yes, deluded - yes but outspoken and stubborn.

Dumbest elder

by Chook in

i went to field service group once and the young elder taking the group was wearing a hat and said the prayer with a hat on.

i informed him later that you are not meant to have head covering, he said he was unaware of such things.

now that the calibre of recruiting on the part of co..

pale.emperor

I was told only yesterday that the elder in charge of the accounts has lost a few £££ here and a few £££ there due to having absolutely zero experience in handling finances. A sister who has been a qualified accountant for 30 years and has many many companies as her clients offered to help... what do you think happened? She was told of course she cant help, she's a sister. Only men can do the accounts.

It boggles the mind.

BEARE OF INDEPENDANCE - Leaked Talk On My YouTube Channel

by pale.emperor in

brother melvin mallett delivers a talk entitled beware the spirit of independence.

(because, you know, thinking for yourself is not what jesus wants.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7znpzkakaki.

oh, and remember folks... this isnt a cult or anything!.

pale.emperor

I'm saving for later. How recent was this talk given, just out of curiosity?

This talk was labelled as "Fall 2005". So it's 11 years old but still they were stressing against independent thinking way back then.

I got loads more to upload on my channel over the coming weeks. An elder passed me loads of recorded talks from Bethel, annual conventions etc to put on his iPod for him. I was warned explicitly NOT to copy or share them.

So I did the opposite😊

Can Someone Explain To Me, Are The Org In Debt Or Rich?

by pale.emperor in

hi guys.. im aware of the orgs blatant hints to donate, donate, donate to the org, the sacking of bethel staff, selling of buildings, reducing mags and books, emphasis on digital rather than physical books etc which is obviously a money saver - but are the wt org in money difficulty?

because elsewhere on here and on youtube there's stories of the watchtower being mega rich, one even called it "a billion dollar organization".

and if there is any money in there, who's benefiting off it?
