What do you think are the future doctrine changes will be?

by thedepressedsoul in

the whole organization is going through huge and big changes.

it can be seen by names of departments, to how things function and teaches.

my questions to you is, what do you think the future changes will be, both in teaching and organizational matters?.

Well if donations are only a dollar a month they can give members a slip to donate like tithe! But call it contribution slips.

Debit cards or visa accounts. A set donation.

Also the SDA pass a bag around before book study.

Maybe that could be one of the changes. Less books and pass the plate.

It is all the same.

They could opened the doors for coffee time at their inside book stores. Put some sofas in a room. Give people a place to gather with a donation by the coffee pot or pass the bag around. People will be giving all the time!

In some strange odd way but fun,apostate will be re evaluated and placed into catogories: Thinkers,doubting Thomas,and prophets. Make a sub division after Thomas that meets on different days or nights.

That includes exJW that are now Atheist.

Honestly not everyone can think the same! Did Jesus shun people no! Only Satanic ones!

Now they have double their money.

Your on to something.

Make the public WT every three months. Sunday study WT on line and studied on a big screen.

Sunday talks will be done from GB building. People viewing on Sunday will see a big screen.

They will need to handle sex JC cases differently. Warning that they need to report crimes.

Profiling of an apostate

by joe134cd in

i must admit when i was in, the idea i had of an apostate, was an angry bitter person who would picket out side a convention.

i was looking on jwservey and found on the respondents to a servey that 54% were either active members or fading members.

this made me wonder is the organisation underestimating the extent of apostasy.

I am just a sinner! :-)

Hopefully the WT will copy the Catholic Church and have a section just for apostasy! The majority of Catholic are unaware of tge following:

http://www.arian-catholic.org/arian/arius.html

Every JW could fit the profile of and apostate because it only takes one doubt and question. Mark!

What can the GB do? Disfellowship everyone or change the rules. Copy the Catholics.

i was just imagining, what if a group started their own congregation, with all of the wackiest teachings.

can you imagine what that would be like?.

the library would be full of 1800s-1980s publications.

Next to the healing room, you will need the spirit medium room with modern day ERA machine so Russell and the 144,000 can channel information down to us. New Light! no more 144,000.

Hope the boring Photo Drama of Creation has a cartoon show first! May I suggest the true story of Mr. Snake with that fun loving woman,Eve? Or was it Mr.Snake with that fun loving man,Adam. Oh hmm never mind it was not a JW teaching! How about the cartoon show with angels having sex with women. That is the one because it has better morals for the young children to view.:-)

Also, do you think the building should be in the shape of a pyramid with the entrance walls explaing an inch for a year and 1914 or 1915? Stairs leading downward with the walls inch for a year explaining historical Jesus Christ as we enter closer to hell? That really is my favorite historical memory of Jesus!

I think my imagination got the best of me but it was fun!

Just got a call from an elder

so i faded over a year ago...i told the elders that if i needed them i would call them.

1 year and 3 months later, today, i get a call from an elder who used to be my good friend...he calls and i dont pick up..he leaves a voicemail, saying "hello ____, please call me back at 444-444-4444 whenever you can".

i was like wow, this has to be one of those calls to get inactive ones back to the memorial.

sarahsmile

Are you going to call him back?

Whatcha going to do when they come for you?

JW man presumed dead, shows up 24 years later to collect his pension claiming he had "amnesia"

by SecretHeart11 in

i don't know if this has been discussed here, but i came across this article and wanted to share.

do you think he really had amnesia?

an excuse to drop the jw life and start fresh?

sarahsmile

He earned a master degree and taught at a public school! I wonder how he managed to get a SS card! Why not go for stocks! IRA under his new name.

Amnesia person would not make it that far away from home.

I think he is a liar and he ran not just from his JW life but from his wife and children.

He did not want to pay child support payments or spouse support,so he saw one way out. He could have been stuck paying for wife's college education. Not much of a man! Divorce was not an option.

If he worked for public school how did he get a SS card? So there more to the story and it sound illegal.

Going back home for 650 a month pension would not be worth it if somone did not want that life style why go back for pension.

What about his public teaching job, how long did he work? maybe not enough as collecting 600 something pension.

Disappearing is against the law. Allowing other to assume he was dead.

Crazy how some elders pretend to be out standing brithers who could do no wrong, yet commit several crimes.

Not all sociopathic personality are murders. Just saying!

Thanks WTBS for changing the Kingdom Songs, you freed me!

by StephaneLaliberte in

yesterday, i saw a picture of a family signing kingdom melodies together.

it made me realize a fact that i am somewhat ashamed to admit:.

for over a decade, i have been aware of the false prophecies, the deceptive statements, the lack of scriptural support for many core practices and other issues with the witnesses.

sarahsmile

DD kind of crazy right that your rap, if it were about something everyone could understand people would buy it!

Most the Jws would not understand your historical lyrics!

Yet here all of us like your song! Think it is tge best ever!

Normal folks would look at you like, what was that about!
