This organization systematically builds selfishness amongt its members without them realizing it...
As a baptized JW, you're essentially taught to save yourself and to disregard any baptized JWs who don't try to "save" themselves...
just heard from my daughter,her husbands mother has just sent him a text to tell him his grandmother has died.

Because the guy that was supposed to write the BS foot notes in the Silver Sword was too busy advertising furniture for IKEA at the time... Yeah, you guessed it Rolf Furuli... He's the only man the Watchtower Corporation has who is capable of dazzling JWs with 1914 bull shit...
from paragraph 12. one brother began viewing pornography at the age of 12, and he continued to do so in secret for over a decade.
he relates: it was very hard to admit to my wife and to the el- ders what id been doing.
but now that i have admitted it, i feel that a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders.
That MS from paragraph 12 is now 25 years old... He no longer masturbates, but he now helps deaf people who want to quit this disgusting habit...
this is how a do explained the family business policy re relatives of df/da members.. he said that the expression, "necessary family business," is really not a scriptural term.
it is nowhere found in the bible.
but, out of the kindness of the gb's hearts, they have gone beyond what is written and allowed association among families for necessary business.
So the GB is interceding on behalf of the bethren... I knew they were genuinely loving all along....
congrats LouBelle!!!
after all, "at this time,over 13,000 kingdom hall projects and 35 assembly hall projects are needed worldwide.".
hmmm, not too sure about that but all the recent re-branding seems to be heading .
could this be the long game?
Why did they cover up the 3 large windows of that Kingdom Hall with bricks?
yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.
i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.
as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?
Marked
or atleast tweaking it again... apparently there has been rumors of this coming out of bethel.

If they really wanted to, the GB 2.0 can quietly end this 1914 doctrine next month in a "QFR" (that no one will read) and then come back 6 months later with a small KM article that says:
"Sadly, some brothers are not keeping up with the Nu-Lite from the Faithful & Discreet Slave. Six months ago, the governing body had prayerful consideration of Acts 1:6,7 and determined that it is not the organization's place to establish a starting point for Jesus' rulership. We can be certan, however, that Jehovah is blessing his organization with increasing "Nu-Lite" (Pro 3:18) and that the end of this system of things is drawing nearer as we reach more people through our worldwide preaching work (Mat 24:14)."
This will result in some cognitive dissonance that will go away as soon as the brethren drive home that night from the service meeting... and 1914 will dissapear into the sunset, never to be spoken of again.
Yes, there would be a small exodus of the "thinking class" who will later be labelled as "spirtually weak" or brothers who were selfishly "serving Jehovah until a certain date" (like 1975)... But then it will be business as usual because they'll just continue to recycle their old repertoir (who preaches wordwide? who doesn't go to war? who does this or that, etc..) and the remaining brethren will just keep on truckin as if 1914 never had any real significance...
So sad....
i don't.
whatever the sticker says on the side of the window is the price i pay.

Why buy a new car when you can drive away in a pre-owned circuit overseer theocratic automobile at a reasonable price ?

just saying...
dear anthony morris the turd.
october 2, 2014 is only 150 days from now.... what bull sh*t are you cooking up to mitigate the expected fallout?.
you might consider shedding "nu-lite" on this continuously recycled quote.... on friday morning, october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, who took the lead at that time among the bible students, strode into the dining room at bethel in brooklyn, new york.
The 7 bafoons in Brooklyn have got to be feeling the pressure to come up with Nu-Lite about the so-called "time of the end"... the old light just isn't cutting it as much as it used to.... even Billy's "Turd Polish" won't be able to help them polish up their completely failed predictions...
