  Quick and vague Memorial invitations

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. bible

  this morning my doorbell rang.

  i opened the door thinking it was a package delivery person or local politicians thanking my community for voting in yesterday's election.

  there was a middle aged man standing by himself.

  His spiel might have been superficial but it worked - he got the invitation into your hand.

  And the Dubs get to count every one of those as a placement on their monthly report card. YAY! "I had 80 placements to report! I am 'SPECIAL' "!

  Sunday's Watchtower Study March 18... Another Money Appeal

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  january 2018 issue "why give to the one who has everything?

  an unashamed contribution appeal... this one with the most manipulative language i can imagine... it may have been commented on before, but i am going to anyway.. p5 quote.

  "would you not agree that jehovah is worthy of all the glory and honor that we can give him by offering the best that we have?

  Then there were these little nuggets of wisdom B.S..."In other cases Jehovah’s people gave financial support to those taking the lead in the work...Jesus and his apostles benefited from the generosity
  of the women “who were ministering to them from their belongings. Green handshakes not so subtly being "suggested".
  

  Today, we too may be asked to make donations for a specific purpose. For example, a new Kingdom Hall or your current Kingdom Hall being renovated. Where? If that is the case why the current video about going to whatever KH we are ordered to attend, so other KH's can be sold off and the money sent to New York? This doesn't pass the smell test!
  
  

  Our brothers who are in poor economic situations, in “deep poverty” begged for the privilege to
  give. Can the blatant spirit of begging through guilt be any more egregious?
  

  With prayerful consideration, the Governing Body strives to be faithful
  and discreet with regard to how the organization’s funds are used. You mean like that $4,000.00 per day fine, or the awards to victims of tolerated child abuse, in WT quest to shut them up and cover over the crimes?
  

  In recent years, there have been many exciting new initiatives. At times, this resulted in more money going out than coming in for a period of time. How does less printing, less "special" pioneers, less circuit overseers, NO district overseers, less Bethelites, less branch locations, less New York buildings, less assembly days all add up to MORE money going out?
  

  Worldwide, nearly 2,500 Kingdom Halls are currently in the process of being built or extensively renovated. So which is it? The thousands they claimed to need BEFORE the money grab, the mere hundreds they claimed AFTER the money grab, or the 2,500 they now claim here?

  There is something seriously wrong with the reasoning in this truly cringe-worthy piece of tripe article openly begging for more money!

  How soon is soon?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i guess if the jdubs have no clue how long a generation is they also wouldn't know how long a time period the word "soon" refers too.. 60 years ago my mother would hammer into my brain how soon the great tribulation was.

  soon jehovah would destroy the wicked.

  then a few years later there was no need to go to college because the end was so soon.

  How long is the time period for soon?

  Well as the Dub's always say "a thousand years is as a day and a day as a thousand years", so they figure that soon is only a week or two. Two weeks=fourteen days=fourteen thousand years. I guess waiting for another "day" or two is "soon" according to their whacked out timetable!

  They must be selling it in order to help finance some of those 2,500 new and refurbished KH's they bragged about needing in this mornings WT. Imagine, one lost hour of begging for more money disguised as "Bible" study.

  The Cult and bottle trees

  by blownaway in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the origin of the bottle tree is to catch evil spirits.

  so to dream catchers.

  i remember a talk back in the early 70s or maybe late 60s that was about dubbers did not have wind chimes.

  A few apologetics who are either lying or ignorant of their own religion.

  They most surely are not ignorant.

  Schmalz said. "Once you leave a group that's been your whole life — letting that go is a kind of death."

  And believe me, IF they could literally execute a person they would do it gleefully.

  Russia Uses Nerve Agent to Assassinate Spy

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  what started as news of a man and woman being found unconscious on a park bench 12 days ago is escalating into an international incident.. sergei skripal had worked as a double agent for british intelligence mi6 before he was discovered and imprisoned in russia in 2006. he was later flown to england as part of a spy-swap in 2010. on sunday 4th march he was discovered along with his 33 year old daughter yulia close to a shopping centre in salisbury.. since then the story has become increasingly bizarre.

  a policeman who was first to attend the scene also became critically ill and remains in hospital.

  government scientists at porton down have confirmed that the cause is a russian military-grade nerve agent novichok.

  Putin executes his political enemies. That is not even controversial.

  So does Hildebeast Clinton and Billary. Oh wait...those were all coincidental "suicides" and "accidents". Even the "suicides" where people shot themselves multiple times in the back of the head while bound hand and foot.
