  How many exBethelites?

  by Christ Alone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd just like to see who here has served at bethel, including myself.

  this may be useful for those that have specific questions about bethel, but don't know who of us actually served there.

  could we hear from those that served at bethel and where you served?

  Christ Alone, looks like you should revise the list to include yourself, Borges and Tiktaalik

  wow, Snakeface; what a dramatic "crash-and-burn" experience! Sounds like newbie El Guapo (welcome to the forum, by the way) can certainly relate to it!

  TV Ministry a No Go for Watchtower Society....ever wonder why?

  by Terry in

  pastor russell had 20 million readers of his newspaper columns worldwide and as many eager students of his topical bible study, studies in the scriptures.. he advertised for 1000 preachers to sell his books door to door!.

  the photo drama of creation wowed 9 million people in the early 1914 synchronizing film, hand colored frames and phonograph recordings.. state of the art!.

  judge rutherford availed himself of victrola recordings of "religion is a snare and a racket!

  They don't dare expose their ideas to public scrutiny in an open forum.... it would be a disaster.

  New Light on the GB's new elite status still NOT AVAILABLE on JW.org in other languages (8 days later)

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so far, available in english only... i guess there is a lead time for the interpreters.... this presents an opportunity for those who attend non-english congregations to ask their jw friends important questions on this subject, have them research the wt cd and then present this new light as a "possibility".... for example, you can ask them questions like:.

  what would you say if i told you that the governing body no longer represents the annointed (a.k.a the fds)?what would you say if i told you that charles taze russell is no longer considered a part of the faithful & discreet slave?what would you say if i told you that, even though the publications say the fds started in 33, they have only been around for 94 years?i'm pretty sure you will be viewed as an apostate... until this news on the annual meeting shows up in their language.

  just a thought.... .

  to me, it speaks of their arrogance and their contempt for the rank and file JWs.

  I grew up not fearing old age

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as a teenage jw, i grew up believing that i was not going to finish high school nor would i get old and have to die like my grandparents did.

  well, i did finish high school, as did my children and my grandchildren and old age has not been kind to me.

  i don't like to look at pictures from 40 years ago, from a time when i was healthy and i had the goal of "stay alive till 75.

  Looks like "staying alive until (you're) 75 (hopefully longer, and in good health)" is the current watchword .....

  is there a danger in being financially secure?

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this question keeps repeating itself within myself.

  why is the watchtower so hell-bent on keeping jw's undereducated, underemployed and under financed?.

  is it a control issue?.

  .... it's nothing compared to the danger of being financially insecure... JWs make a virtue of financial irresponsibility

  Striaghtshooter has a point: no reference whatsover to surviving Armageddon and never dying; anyone remember "Millions Now Living... etc.?"

  Why doesn't the faithful & discreet slave declare their identity outside of the JW community?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  certainly the identity of god's chosen messenger is bigger than any other current news, right?

  i'm not saying j.r. needs to do a press conference, but at the least they could publish it in their public literature.

  why keep it a big secret?

  This claim of theirs (the 1919 "appointment") is utterly undeserving of being taken seriously
