  JWs Letters Target Recently Bereaved

  by steve2 in

  current media attention in new zealand is focusing on the case of a woman whose male friend died three months.

  she received a handwritten letter personally addressed to her and her deceased friend with a series of questions about what happens after death.

  the woman was furious and, accompanied by news media, door-knocked the address provided by the letter writer.

  Thanks for the link steve2.

  "What happens to us when we die?" was among the questions the letter asked.

  "I opened it and I was really devastated, I was really f...ed off," Sergent-Shadbolt said.

  This might not be an unusual reaction (in spite of what WT writes of course).

  And yes, housebound JW's were sometimes encouraged to do so (only now seeing sir82's comment), although I could not find direct instructions to do so. It is just acknowledged as a way of giving testimony.

  If you still have the WT Library cd-rom, just search for "obituary" and you'll find stuff like this:

  *** km 1/70 p. 8 par. 3 Presenting the Good News—By Letter ***

  So the brother gave his name and address to this sister, who continued to develop the interest by mail. Some names she gets from the obituary column.

  
  

  *** yb95 p. 47 Worldwide Report ***
  

  Now 94, she is still busy witnessing. Recently she completed a year of auxiliary pioneer service. She is able to walk a little with a cane—enough to take advantage of the opportunities presented when neighbors, friends, relatives, salesmen, postmen, or anyone else calls. Still she has to do most of her witnessing with a pen. She finds names and addresses in the obituary columns in the daily paper and writes to some of these. How happy she is when replies of appreciation come!

  Cover of the September 2016 Watchtower.

  the cover of the 2016 september watchtower has an islander couple preaching.

  the brother looks like he may be fijian in a traditional skirt standing in a river, doing a presentation on an apple ipad.

  i can't imagine there are many families that can afford an ipad in the pacific islands.

  JW Broadcasting is the likely end of the road for JWs

  by oldskool in

  2. beliefs

  i started leaving the group in 04', and quit following what they do around 08'.

  my recent posts express my reaction to what has happened since.. i just "tuned in" to the jw broadcasting episode for may 2016. it is worth a viewing.

  gb member anthony morris describes what is basically the thrust of why this entire effort exists.

  Interesting observations oldskool, I agree.

  Once I told my non-jw mother I was out (she visited just a few meetings out of interest for her son's new religion), she immediately confessed to me she always felt we as adults were treated like children. Be obedient...otherwise the devil will get you!

  She was so right and I feel so stupid. Everytime I'm confronted with that cringing holier-than-thou Caleb & Sophia crap or the GB members desperately trying to sell their bulls&%t as refined gold on JWbroadcast, I can't believe the rank and file jw's buy it as spiritual food at the proper time.

  Although it's clear the heydays of jw are over, it always takes courage and critical thinking in order to see and accept TTATT... many will never leave because of family ties and/or cognitive dissonance.

  Wasanelder Once wrote: An old brother I knew had bestiality on his computer, go figure? He was a Ministerial Pervant too.

  Maybe he was preparing a talk and did some research on Leviticus.

  JW Broadcasting reeks of desperation

  again, i'm a decade removed from the faith.

  i'm catching up now, and can't believe what i'm seeing.. i get that jw leadership faced a dilemma.

  there is no intellectual apparatus within the faith.

  I feel as if their entire faith has been turned into a circus.

  We know who and where the clown are don't we?

  Dutch branch refuses to meet with LGBT rights organization.

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in the wake of the anti-gay cartoon, the coc (dutch lgbt rights organization) invited watchtower netherlands to discuss how watchtower is dealing with lgbt people in their ranks.

  focus of the meeting would be on making sure lgbt jw feel safe and fully accepted.. today several newspapers are reporting that the branch declined the invitation, stating that they 'can't imagine lgbt jw feeling unsafe.

  the branch won't talk to coc, but they might discuss internally with lgbt jw.'.

  Nice footage Anders! The COC rightfully says it's unbelievable that JW headquarters don't want to talk about safety regarding JW LGBT's while they ALWAYS want to talk about their beliefs.

  Also great CoC offers support for JW LGBT's that want to discuss this matter within the Borg.

  Talking about human rights!!! It seems WT again will be put to shame by satan's ungodly system of things.

  Thank you very much Watchtower-Free!

  Some interesting lines in talk no. 49 (the last one):

  "How will Jehovah treat his loyal ones in a special way in the immediate future?

  "Immediate" has lost every meaning given the tower's history of failed prohecy.

  We can expect to face increasingly difficult tests of loyalty

  Worse than WW I & II, Malawi and Soviet camps? Hmm, think not, even current Russia doesn't come close!

  World conditions will continue to worsen (2Ti 3:1-5,13) Really? Who rather wants to live pre-1914? "Since 1900 the global average life expectancy has more than doubled and no country in the world has a lower life expectancy than the countries with the highest life expectancy in 1800". (ourworldindata.org)

  Our loyalty to God will likely bring increasing ridicule (2Pe 3:3,4) Thanks to the failed spiritual legacy of the three monarchs and the oracle, the UN scandal, the inspiring Caleb and Sophia video's, the history of sexual abuse and the many false and misleading testimonies before the ARC, the poor and dusty TV evangelism of the GB maybe?

  We will face the attack by Gog of magog during the great tribulation(w15 5/15 29-30) The WT's timetable is such a mess.

  FOG and lies once again! So glad we're out and won't have to listen to this for days

  Maybe her faith in "Armageddon soon" needed a boost and some additional evidence that satan really is the ruler of this world

  Wow, interesting to hear that Belgium and Holland finally are on the chopping block also. Ex-bethelites won't find much hapiness in the regular field here (they'd better learn some foreign languages IF they can find the drive). The Netherlands is very secular, apathetic and materialistic. Growth has stopped since the 70's. JW numbers are stable, in spite of population growth.

  *** w78 3/15 p. 22 Building for the Future—In the Netherlands ***

  When C. T. Russell, the first president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, visited the Netherlands in 1891, the prospects for a spiritual building work here were not very bright. He remarked that the Dutch seemed more interested in material pursuits than in spiritual things.
