  Is 2034 ''New Light''?

  by MidwichCuckoo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  bear with me.

  over the years jw have always strived after/prophesied (even though they deny this) a carrot ''date''.

  as dates come and go, we hear about ''new light'', but according to the wt :-a new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.

  Clearly we have been led astray by the mathematical manipulation and scripture twisting of our former Brother Quotes, who has now been identified as an ARCH APOSTATE and dream slayer! SHUN HIM! SHUN HIM
  ==================
  
  Not if I shun you first!
  
  Now, the tradition Klingon-cum-JW shunning ceremony:
  
  I shun thee,
  I shun thee,
  I shun thee.
  
  There.
  
  You are now shunned first. You can't shun me, I shunned you!

  Yes, of course, Scholar.
  
  You are cornered, and clearly in the wrong, without facts to validate your opinion.
  
  Therefore, it must be the apostate rat bastards. That is the only way you, and Watchtower, could be wrong.
  
  Yup, that explains it. A CONSPIRACY OF APOSTACY!!!!

  Field Service is a Farce

  by swiftbreeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i touch on this subject in another post but i felt the need to take it further...back in the day jw's went out in fs but i don't know about today.... i live in a big city....the territory my congregation has is small because there are so many cong.

  here.. our bookstudy only had maybe four blocks at the most to work.

  my ex husband and i would go to the meetings and hear talk about fs and all the wonderful and experiences and the joy oh joy in being out in the ministry.

  Yes, there have been many, many threads here at JWD about the farce of FS. The hours are exagerrated, the quality of the actualy hours is pathetically low (passing the time driving around instead of talking to people); pretending to knock but actually not not knocking.
  
  One billions hours per year? GARBAGE!

  My mom and her Ministry School talks

  by Mamacat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i get so frustrated with my mom sometimes.

  even when i was a kid, she'd get me to help her with her talks.

  my mom is intelligent, but she has a hard time getting her thoughts organized and on paper, so she always asked for my help.

  IMO you have two choices:
  
  (1) Tell your Mom, politely but firmly, that you don't want to do this anymore. It is supposed to be a "Ministry SCHOOL" and you're Mom can't learn if you keep doing her homework. If she can't do her own homework, then she should drop out of the school.
  
  (2) Use next assignment to gently, subtley sneak in some "apostate" teaching into the talk. She won't be asked to do any more talks, or perhaps they will interrogate her and then tell her she must never have you help again. Problem solved, Q.E.D.

  Thanks for the cross-reference thread, AM.
  
  It appears that, as of this writing, Scholar (who is usually so verbose) has curtly implied that his query has been reported without his permission (or something to that effect).
  
  It takes a big man to admit he's wrong. Is Scholar big enough?

  ============
  but the threats are firm, and seem kinda sure?
  ============
  
  Unless you get a letter from a WTS lawyer, tell them pi$$ off.
  
  Yes, I'm sure the threatening JW sounded "kinda sure". But then again, they ALWAYS sould like that: it is called arrogance. But they are still wrong. Wrong about almost everything.
  
  I heard that the "free, donation basis" is not in most (all?) countries (finally). But again, it doesn't matter if the WTS gives these away for free or not. If you own it, you can sell it.
  
  HOWEVER, if you are making copies of the WT Library, this is clearly a violoation of copyright. I assume that is not what you mean?

  RE: Watchtower Library
  
  They don't say it is FREE for JWs only, they way it is for JWs only (at any price).
  
  As long as you have legal possession, and didn't steal it, you can sell it.

  The law is simple:
  
  If you own it, you can sell it.
  
  It doesn't matter what it is, or whether you got it for free, or received it as a gift, or made it yourself out of spit and bailing wire.
  
  It could be a "free" program from a political rally; or a "free" prize inside a box of cereal. Or a free home-delivered flyer from the 1920s advertising some neat old stuff.
  
  If you can find a buyer, you can sell it. Original value or amount paid when it passed into your possession is not a factor.
  
  Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.
  
  What are these JW whiners and complainers saying?

  Tell the one making the threat to pi$$ off.

  There are usually between 300 and 400 books matching the search keyword "Watchtower" at any given time on Ebay.
  
  Sell, sell, sell.
