  I have no prblems with "new light"

  by Doug Mason in

  there is nothing wrong with accepting new ideas.

  even apostle paul changed his mind when he "saw the light".

  indeed, i hope to learn new things every day.

  It's one thing to accept new ideas; quite another to coerce others into acceptance.

  peak attendance (sunday): 5,645; 26 baptized.

  general impression: "convention light"-- i.e.

  entertainment value:(previously nil) now enhanced by leavening the boring talks with interspersed video.

  Peak attendance (Sunday): 5,645; 26 baptized. General impression: "Convention Light"-- i.e. entertainment value:(previously nil) now enhanced by leavening the boring talks with interspersed video. Shameless, maudlin appeal to emotions of the crowd (not a few tears shed during final video). Total abandonment of intellectual appeal (first-ever convention with no literature release).

  Otherwise a traditional JW gathering... ethnically diverse, preponderantly black (by a small but distinct margin)... the usual smattering of grotesquely obese and pretty-to-beautiful young girls, trophy wives-in-waiting, dressed to the hilt;

  No Bethel biggies in evidence (they're holding out for an all-expense trip in Business Class to an exotic international destination).

  God's name

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first at all, there is a new marketing video of god's name, clearly saying the name of god is jehovah.. link: https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodbible/docid-502014331_1_video.

  and then, there is the video with geoffrey jackson (gb) clearly saying that the original name of god is not known and the use of jehovah is because of it is the most used variant in english.. link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwv_8ocvkj8.

  so, something contradicts here, isn't it?.

  Why does God, the Great Singularity, the One and Only Creator and Sustainer of the universe, need a name anyway? From whom does he have to differentiate Himself?

  to each his own... actually I think Sergei's daughter (in the Friday afternoon-- pretty badly acted -- Russian series) is a lot prettier.

  European Prospective 2017-2022

  by sp74bb in

  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?
