  Selloff Hinted At Assembly

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower

  the last talk at the assembly made an interesting statement, "we can show faith by following direction if we're asked to move to another kingdom hall for better use of dedicated christian funds".

  this statement has everyone talking.

  i spoke to multiple individuals and they heard the same thing at different assembly's.. i know they have been "evaluating" all kingdom halls the last year or two.

  I heard the exact same statement at the CA I suffered through. That was in the upper mid-west. Think cowboy country. Although I was surprised by the number of people who said they didn't hear that.

  As a youth, do you enjoy being with other young people? Likely you do. However...

  And there in typical WT fashion comes the stick they beat you with. Yes, we know you like being with other young people, BUT we are going to tell you how you what WE want! And you better damned well DO IT!

  Petty Rules

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  did your congregation have any petty man made rules?

  i remember the elders in my cong didn't like if a single brother and single sister walked in the parking lot together after the meeting ended, to their car.

  you couldn't hold the mic or give a talk without a coat (that might be a universal jw rule).

  Advanced Warning I - WT August 2016 "Study" articles re "Reaching Out"

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the brief outline for this item makes reference to the most recent wt on the subject of "reaching out" (august 2016 - pages 20 - 29) if you are a jehovah's witness and thinking about becoming a ministerial servant or elder, then please consider the following information prior to attending the kh for this week’s wt “study” and the week after.

  first - if you hope to become an elder, in the uk you will also become a charitable trustee.

  you will not be given any training for this part of your role.

  I noted too that "spiritual progress" at least for males was directly linked to their being appointed. For everyone in general it had to do with doing more...More...MORE. Nor did it have anything to do with showing actual Christlike qualities towards OTHER people. Never enough for the nitwits in charge!

  Beards - September 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.

  it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?

  the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

  i will not attend the WT on that day.

  I will. And I will for a change sit in the middle of the very front row and lock eyes with the a--hole conductor who is the main idiot who runs the show in this area.

  I grew a close trimmed beard and was also told, "We can't stop you, but to make it "easier" on you we will be suspending all your "privileges" until you shave." This was after one of the eldurrs had come over and asked me what was on my face, and then sat and had a couple cold ones.

  Two weeks later I was informed that I was on the KH cleaning schedule for the week. On Sunday I was asked why I had not cleaned anything. I said, "If my facial hair somehow makes me unfit for any so-called privileges then I am also not good enough to scrub your toilets!"

  The beard will stay. Hair on my face is great as a thorn in their side.

  "repeatedly stopping and starting the audio tape ... suggesting that she consented to the sexual behavior."

  Nothing like making the victim out to be the guilty party! The guy who did this ought to be taken out, staked by his penis and sack to a tree stump, have the stump soaked with gasoline and lit afire, then throw him a dirty rusted dull pocketknife and let him make the choice. If he cuts himself free then shoot him so he doesn't have to "suffer" anymore!

  Yeah, I know that sounds vicious, but it is nothing compared to the harm to the victims of these sexual predators!

  Which Kingdom Hall Should They Sell? How Does The Governing Body Decide?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  well what rule of thumb do you think these financial dim-wits dream up?

  i think those not sending in their money to the org are some of the first properties to unload while you spare the higher payers for last.

  you don't want to piss off the loyal contributers by making them miss meetings,, that's a no win situation so dump the free loaders as a negative asset and keep the more profitable ones.. and those who's loans the wt forgave, watch what happens if you're not send in those regular payments like before, and slack off by a significant amount.

  KH A gives $$$$$$$$$$. KH B gives $$. KH B will without a doubt be the one to get sold.

  so the wife was watching the latest installment of jw broadcasting and near the end there was a new segment on dating and courtship.

  it starts at about the 39 minute mark:.

  I doubt any eyes will be opened as a result of this idiotic propaganda clip.

  I did notice that a man watching sports is bad, you should be washing dishes with the women. And yes, I did my share of that growing up, it was good training for later. Looking at a vehicle that would be reliable, have a warranty for any unforeseen repairs, thus freeing up valuable time for the oh so important sit on your ass cart work is bad, but having a mansion and the best of appliances and gadgets by the parents is good.

  I also noticed that the future husband is in the normal JDub manner a total whipped looking wimp. Why are less than indoctrinated JW's always good looking and the fully brainwashed JDub men with pretty fair looking wives look like the typical zit faced nerd in junior high school?
