Are you DF'd? Share the weirdness, I'll start.....

by Pickler in

so i started a reply on the topic of "what's your status?

" and it made me think about my df hearing (sorry i can't remember the exact term for what happened).. so i was fading, living in a different country, working & making rare appearances at my kingdom hall.

i was flat sharing with a sister though.

JEHOVAH NEEDS YOUR MONEY FOR 2014!!!!!!!!

by DATA-DOG in

has anyone else recieved the letter from the gb about international conventions in 2014?

according to the letter the missionarys/order of full time servants desperately need to get to the conventions in their homeland.

so to accomplish this, jehovah needs 15 cents per publisher, per congregation for some months ( sorry i can't remember the exact length of time ).

Copy of the letter would be great

New World Translation

by MsD in

jw

it may seem like a stupid question but who was responsible for translating their version of the bible?

i heard it was ray franz, several governing body members.

does anybody have any legitimate info that can prove who exactly translated it?

^ Walter Martin, Kingdom of the Cults, Expanded Anniversary Edition, October 1997, Bethany House Publishers, p. 123. "While the members of the [NWT] committee have never been identified officially by the Watchtower, many Witnesses who worked at the headquarters during the translation period were fully aware of who the members were. They included Nathan H. Knorr (president of the Society at the time), Frederick W. Franz (who later succeeded Knorr as president), Albert D. Schroeder, George Gangas, and Milton Henschel."

Would this work? Be honest. Brutal if necessary.

by okage in

i feel i must preface this with context so as to make the intention understandable: .

to jehovah's witnesses and their apologists, that goal is destruction of truth and the downfall of jehovah's witnesses.

but that's not our goal.

BlindersOff1

How my idea would work is it would take advantage of the existing protocal they have for letters. It would flood their system

and at the least result in ACTIVITY/BOE from them which as we know usually shoots them in the foot.

This could be the gift that keeps on giving in other words not a one time thing.

Letters from all over the world addressed to maybe certain org depts. direct

Its about probing their weak/deluded defenses

it could be like a shot across the bow. it would be fun to have the return address be a real random congo address.

Think of all the idiot elders running around like chickens .

HELP!!! Need Contacts in Portland-Gresham Oregon

by Juan Viejo2 in

a very special request for help - not money - just information!!!.

i normally would not ask this kind of a favor, but this really is important.. i am working with portland area investigators and journalists who are doing research on the whitney heichel /jonathan holt murder case and one other case involving other serious criminal activity.

they are particularly interested in anyone who might have attended kingdom halls in or around gresham and might know some of the members, former jws, or other related contacts in that area.. if you are from that area, or have connections there, please contact me via pm.
