  The change from paper to digital must have been huge to most JWs. Is there a thread about it from the time it was implemented?

  Real reasons behind this change?

  just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

  a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

  maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

  If donations are now, or about to become, the focus, should we be expecting the GB to release further "new light" ? About a new donation arrangement, perhaps?

  JWs and Conscription/ Military Service

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  matthew 5:41 (nwt) "...and if someone in authority compels you into service for a mile,* go with him two miles.".

  a member of the roman occupying forces could command a local to carry their pack for a mile.

  the local was thus pressed into a form of military service.

  If a government requirement is imposed, Jesus said do more of it. Stop defending your evil organisation! They now allow service in lieu, but sent people to jail and gave them criminal records before they changed their idiotic minds.

  Are territory maps a form of data collection?

  You better get a lawyer, son!

  "b) …as clients go, they’re gettin’ kinda toxic."

  Is there there such a thing as a legal firm that is too moral to take on certain cases??

  Carrying a Roman soldier's pack for a mile recognises an obligation to the military. Were roles directly supporting the military the only ones offered "in lieu"? Your either/or dichotomy is false. Non-combatant roles that support the military aren't the only options. In most countries, civilian service in lieu can be things like building roads or working in national parks or community service in general. For the most part, no different from working in a country's civil service/public service; a government job.

  The WT unnecessarily forced it's loyal followers to become criminals based on its unbiblical false logic.

  "I hear of a plenty of personal testimonies of abuse but it is harder to prove organizational complicity."

  There's a lot of speculation on the change in reporting hours that this is an attempt to further distance the Org from liability in CSA cases. So you might call that a cover-up in its own right.

  Jehovah's Witnesses...loyal to God...or to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society ?

  by Balaamsass in

  this month is a month of testing for jehovah's witnesses.

  individually, each must ask himself: to whom are you loyal?

  no doubt in ancient isreal many attended the molech and calf worshiping festivals out of loyalty to the nation, the king, and perhaps in a mistaken belief to "jehovah".

  That segment of the video is interesting. That there is a handpicked group of loyal Bethelites without legal backgrounds, who just prepare CSA related documents for the legal department.

  To work in WT legal probably means to have a totally seared conscience (1 Timothy 4:2)
