  Will firing the DOs be the first step to a new Watchtower?

  by Juan Viejo2 in

  1. watchtower

  against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.

  he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.

  i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.

  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.

  Over 7yrs as a JW and I just found out I'm not supposed to buy Girl Scout Cookies?

  i'm still in the matrix(the truth), but 'morpheus' and his team are valiantly working on a way to get me out.

  in the meantime, everyday i am discovering so much about being a jw i never knew, like don't buy girl scout cookies, that i keep asking myself "what have i got myself into".. maat.

  really lame for a first post, but i figure i should start some where.

  I agree with Blondie... Nothing in the "publications" about girl scout cookies...

  However, I'm not at all surprized...

  In the early 80's, I was scolded by my JW parents for buying girl scout cookies. I was a sophomore or junior in high school at the time so I was naturally pissed for being called out. Then, some weeks later, I was embarrassed during a weekly book study when my mother brought up girl scout cookies again as part of her irrelevant response to a question by the study conductor. I simply lowered my head in utter disbelief... I mean, wtf?

  Anyways, the study conductor then made a ridiculous comment about girl scouts cookies having been sold in the past to raise money for the US military. Not sure if this is true or not but who cares what the money was used for in the past? And why boycott the girl scouts over things they are no longer involved in?

  --- end of rant --

  Maat13... I hope you the best in your escape from this ridiculous cult.

  Watchtower-Free

  Where did you get this pic?

  It's interesting how the Watchtower Corporation had relatively easy access to such lavish freemason-owned venues as Prince Albert Hall. This freemason-owned facility was also the venue for the two largest freemason meetings ever held in England (1887 and 1897)... Prince Albert's son (Albert Edward) was actually a Grandmaster who presided over both of these meetings... (now let the ridiculous comments about extra-terrestrial lizards begin)

  March 2014 Kingdom Ministry Page 2 Paragraph 4...

  Will this memorial be our last? (1 Cor. 11:26) We do not know. But we do know that once it passes, gone will be a unique oppurtunity to show gratitude. Will you seize it? May the appreciative words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart bring pleasure to Jehovah, the generous Provider of the ransom. -Ps. 19:14.

  I read a study about the WTS-Growth

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  and it said that based on their growth and such, that in 20 years(or by 2020) there would be 28 million jws.

  any sign of imminent, widespread persecution that you all have noticed?

  i keep hearing about kh's being built and remodeled, and how huge their conventions are.

  Interesting post from 5 years ago...

  But if any 19th century "dooms-day" religion will reach the 20,000,000 member mark by the year 2020, it will be the 7th Day Adventists (which now has a membership of about 14,500,000)...

  In 2020, I see the JWs completely rebranded with a membership totalling less than 6,000,000... just my opinion...

  It is quite a problem... but not a new one... mall shootings, school shootings and the like have plagued America since the late 70's... but cell phones, social media and high-tech police frequency scanners are making the problem appear more wide-spread than it actually is...

  that said, it's still a very sad situation.

  Elder and CO just dropped by....

  i haven't been to a meeting in over a year, and as you know as soon as you stop attending meetings/fieldservice the "conditional" love becomes more apperant.

  the coordinating elder starts off by saying how much he loves and misses me, etc.

  i ask him, when was the last time you called or texted me?
