  European Prospective 2017-2022

  by sp74bb in

  2. friends

  the new "business plan" for jw.org in europe has already received a name within the org: european prospective 2017-2022.. this plan is already on the table of the big guys in the us.

  in the practice it has been already getting the approval of the majority.

  so, no surprise at all to vote it.. essential features of the "business plan":- sale of all branches in the eu, except germany and uk (the latter benefits from brexit and certain privileged position)- all printing and digital material prepared and printed from germany- in each country, a local liaison office is left, certainly no more than 3-4 families.- free part-time worker is boosted from home, cheaper and hastle-free !- money to the new entity formed in belgium, as a non-profit organization (ibsa goodbye ...)- the most complicated ... who will care for the data of european jw ... confidential information and color envelopped with sensitive information.... enjoy the new european jw times !.

  So it's bye-bye to the Rome Bethel and its vaunted vineyard... also, Spain, where little old widows donated their gold jewelry to fund the project.

  It's just not credible; unintelligible, bad english, and WTF does "pay grade" have to do with a parent/child relationship anyway?

  Don't have sexual fantasies! Today's watchtower...

  by purrpurr in

  the watchtower today says not to think of sex, or to have sexual fantasies.

  i'm just wondering... how many people in the hall hearing this watchtower today would be having sexual fantasies?

  sitting there thinking about sister hottie or brother hunky ?.

  Does the Governing Body practice what they preach and go door to door or stand behind the carts?

  i would think with all their demands on the rank and file that they should all at least get there 10 hours in a month.

  just curious.

  anyone know?.

  When I was in Bethel in the mid sixties and I was assigned to the Brooklyn Heights congregation, to which most of the Bethel heavies, including Knorr, attended. I helped Harold Dies with the compilation of monthly reports, and those of Knorr's and other Bethel big shots rarely exceeded single digits, which they easily reached by giving talks.

  Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit

  by Listener in

  the degradation of the governing body members continues on.

  mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.

  in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

  No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  London is an oasis of prosperity; now let's see how/where the City money managers shift their operations --wealth -- to Dublin and elsewhere. Most of England outside of the southeast is on the dole..how will this ill-considered decision help them? Misplaced chauvinism; when faced with a choice between Great Britain and Little England, they picked the latter.. they've made their bed.

  Ever-changing teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses - probably the most comprehensive compendium about Watchtower doctrinal changes

  by WTS Archive in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  two days ago a new book was released for download, called "ever-changing teachings of jehovah's witnesses".

  it was originally written by a polish jw scholar (who never was a jw himself) włodzimierz bednarski, with a help from szymon matusiak, who was a jw and an elder, and is a result of years of labourious work to compile quotes regarding every single doctrine the book describes.

  it covers the most important changes in years 1879—2015.

  Relevant to changes in the blood doctrine... http://imgur.com/a/7lqEJ

  i.e., acceptance of a transfusion to be deplored, not necessarily disfellowshipped ; offending person to regarded mainly as "spiritually weak," not wicked. From 1958 Watchtower, I believe.

  In all, a much more enlightened, comparatively reasonable approach.

  Did others experience this on the ministry or among JWs generally?

  by slimboyfat in

  sometimes it's hard to know if our own experience of jws was typical and what features were peculiar to our own area or the individual jws we knew personally.

  i was wondering if others experienced this among jws:.

  a few times on the ministry, when we were working wealthy areas with large houses, some brothers and sisters would make the comment that they look forward to taking ownership of one of these big houses after armageddon, when the worldly people have vacated them.

  In a word, yes; I encountered it often in the course of working through the affluent areas of the territory with a group.
