  Monica Jaramillo sex abuse case

  by joe134cd in

  2. child-abuse

  when i first became aware of the sex abuse cases about 12 months ago.

  i thought they could perhaps be isolated cases.

  now i'm just wondering how big this thing is going to get.

  Actually, I should rephrase that last part... I meant to say that low SUPPLY usually means higher prices... but you all know what I mean...

  If paper mills are shutting down because of Kindle and iPads, the WT will probably need to supply each JW with these devices or look for alternative sources of revenue... Otherwise the Rothschild family may just pull the plug cold-turkey and be done with the Watchtower Corporation...

  I just wanted to share this gem I recently came across in the Denver Post:

  The North American paper industry is in rapid decline. Mills have let go thousands of workers and are competing for a shrinking market. A mill in Sartell, Minn., that closed this year after a Memorial Day explosion was the latest to go dark.

  "It's kind of disheartening," said Jim Skurla, an economist at the University of Minnesota at Duluth. "Paper's never going to disappear, but it's going to be smaller than it has been."

  River towns in the forest from eastern Washington to the coast of Maine have lost more than 100 paper mills in a wave of consolidation in little more than a decade — a trend most people in the industry expect to continue. Wisconsin has lost nine paper mills since 2005.

  North American demand for three types of coated and supercalendared paper — shiny magazine and advertising paper — has fallen 21 percent in the past decade, according to the Pulp and Paper Products Council.

  Kindles and iPads, e-mail, PDFs, the decline of first-class mail, and waning newspaper and magazine circulations are all to blame. Analysts predict demand will fall at least another 18 percent by 2024.

  The shift is forcing paper mills and mill towns to rethink their future. To survive, they will need to find new products to make out of wood.

  Now this is very telling, since low demand usually means much higher prices... It's no wonder you guys are selling off printing assets around the world... you're really just cutting your losses before the tower finally collapses in the next 2 or 3 decades... good luck with that...

  A sad day for a JW- they lost a study 'cause of me.

  by Gojira_101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few weeks ago i posted a topic about a deaf woman studying with the jw's.

  the deaf preacher from the woman's parents church contacted me to know more about the jw's because the parents were allowing their daughter to study with the jw's because "they are such nice people.

  " anyway the deaf preacher contacted me because he knows i just left the jw's last year and he wanted information.. i was more than happy to provide it.

  Confused... you really show an incredible amount of restraint... I would have blown up after his bit about Jehovah holding back the winds of discipline so you can fork over some money while still remaining in an un-disfellowshipped state.... wtf?

  Circuit Leasing selling on JW.ORG ????

  2. beliefs

  so i was poking around jw.org a lil recently...... noticed this advertisement was still present in the 'privileged' section (ie you gotta have login access).

  this was posted on jw.org a little over a year ago (as shown in pic) but since it is still viewable......figured it is fair-game for jwn fodder.

  thoughts?????.

  Looks like they've been phasing out the semi-luxurious Buick LaCrosse with the much cheaper Chevrolet Impala... Seems to have started in 2010...

  Actually, 2010 was a financial turning point for the Watchtower Corporation...

  hi guys,.

  when i was growing up and pressured into having a bible study (although we didn't use the bible that much), i would ask my bible study conductor questions like:.

  why are there so many other planets?.

  February 2011 KM - no more daily text before service

  by Red Piller in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  heard this today from a good source.

  my guess everybody is delaying leaving the service meeting - and this is an attempt to fix this.. that's what i see in our service groups - no one is in any rush to go out (again).

  In my area there were 2 extremely old and frail ministerial servants who would defer to a pioneer sister (who was willing to place a paper napkin on her head) to do the daily text (from Mon thruogh Friday)... then, they would simply do the prayer and divide the group... On the weekends, the elders would then take over from A to Z...

  I really thought this was just an isolated anomoly in my congo... But maybe this was happening a lot more frequently than I thought at other congos...

  Let Us Always Be Thank For The Food Provided By The Faithful And Discreet Slave "Corporation Deity"

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do jehovah witnesses worship the governing body with adoration?

  what is the main party line proclaimed in the publications?

  is it not always be grateful for the spiritual food provided by the corporations deity called the faithful and discreet slave, and publicly decared to be faithful forever.
