  Is A Major Restructuring At Warwick In The Works Due To Years Of Governing Body Ignorance & Delusion?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the possible financial ruin to which faithful & discreet slave/governing body has brought wt corporation, due to all the underhanded/illegal/thoughtless policies as g.o.d(guardians of doctrine) seems to be a very real possibility, as court cases mount against the wt and it's different corporations.. montana just gave a very clear $$$$30million+ shout out to wt, about it's fucked up policies, which lay at the feet of those in charge.

  it seems that some type of no confidence should be expressed and a complete over haul should be happening.

  they can not keep this information secret any more and they are totally delusional ass holes if they think they can talk their way out of this.. therefore i think we shall see some desperate measures to keep this fraudulent organization financially stable and a removal from power those responsible for the mess..

  They will try, and when it does keep coming out they will continue to brand it Satanic and apostate propaganda that all "good" JDub's will avoid while plugging their ears to the real facts.

  exodus 17:8-16 new international version (niv)the amalekites defeated8 the amalekites came and attacked the israelites at rephidim.

  9 moses said to joshua, “choose some of our men and go out to fight the amalekites.

  tomorrow i will stand on top of the hill with the staff of god in my hands.”10 so joshua fought the amalekites as moses had ordered, and moses, aaron and hur went to the top of the hill.

  The way I have heard this explained is that it shows how God uses imperfect men to do his will, and how important the "older men" are and how we MUST obey and support them [even if the directions they give do not seem practical].

  A blind man goes into a ritzy department store that is obviously fancier than his station in life. He stops in the first aisle and grabs his seeing eye dog by the tail and swings him around in circles above his head then puts the dog down and continues walking through the store. After repeating the same thing with his dog several more times a store clerk goes up to the blind man and haughtily asks, "What are you doing sir?" The blind man replies, "Just looking around."

  "I miss your comments...I don't hear you comment like you used to!"

  I was told the same thing not so long ago. I said it is pretty hard to comment up when one is never called upon. Of course I am on the quick road out now that the last elderly parent is dead. Still show up every now and again beard and all, wearing jeans and a open collar shirt with no jacket, just to cheese off the eldurrs and the holier than thou MS's.

  Ray retired and he and his wife Bessie moved from New York City to Texas. Wanting to try to fit in Ray went to the local western wear store and bought the fanciest cowboy boots he could find. He got home and proudly wore them into the house hoping Bessie would notice and say something. She didn't. All day he wore them, doing everything he could to get Bessie to notice his new boots, which she never acknowledged. Finally in a desperate attempt to get her to notice his new boots when it was time for bed he stripped down completely naked, except for his new boots and strode out to the middle of the bedroom. Then he asks, "Bessie, don't you notice anything different about me tonight?" Bessie coolly looks Ray up and down from head to toe and back again shakes her head and replies, "No. It was hanging down last night. It was hanging down this morning and it is still hanging down." Frustrated Ray yells, "It's looking at my NEW BOOTS!" To which Bessie replies, "Should have bought a hat Ray. Should have bought a hat!"

  "in my father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, i would have told you.

  i go to prepare a place for you.

  Just throwing a comment out for what it's worth.

  There MIGHT be a so-called pair of dice earth with people living on it like the original GOE, IF one were to actually believe the Genesis account. And IF one were to believe the GC and Jesus words about "other sheep" etc. why couldn't there be THREE groups with TWO destinations? A bunch of naked people petting pandas forever on earth, a Great Crowd (no definite number) in heaven and the so-called "little flock" of the alleged 144,000?

  Just $.02 worth.

  Do elders still ask inactive members to write a letter to disassociating yourself from the Congregation?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do today's elders ever meet with inactive members and pressure them to write a letter disassociating themselves from the congregation stating that, ''you no longer wish to a jehovah witness"?.

  i was baptized at the young age of 16. after turning 18, i stopped attending meetings, field service, and all jehovah's witness activities.

  i wanted to be with my high school friends, go to rock concerts, have a girlfriend, and live like a normal teen.

  Elders are not to try and force anyone to DA.

  I don't have a horse in this race, however since when do elders really ever shive a git about what "official" policy is when they have a chance to flex their "muscle" and try to act like an alpha dog in the WT pack?

  I asked a few how they could reasonably explain 3,000,000 in the camp of Israel in light of this:

  (Deuteronomy 23:12, 13) . . .And a private place should be at your service outside the camp, and you must go out there. 13 And a peg should be at your service along with your implements, and it must occur that when you squat outside, you must also dig a hole with it and turn and cover your excrement. . .

  How would THAT work? Imagine having to walk across chicago or some other similar sized city far enough to get out of the city just so you could take a dump?

  on tv.jw.org kenneth cook jr. discusses how important it is to be honest when applying for special assignemts.

  he mentions health and viewing pornography.

  those who viewed pornography during the last year should not apply.

  Those who viewed pornography during the last year should not apply.

  Trouble with that is that some have been defining "pornography" in a way that includes women in bathing attire too. What about some art from centuries ago? What about a nude person shown only from the back, above the waist? What is considering "viewing"? A brief glance at a still photo of a bare breast? A long look at a full frontal nude?
  

  There are way too many prudes in WT to have to comply with when answering that question.

  The JW's are known as a religion however the truth of the matter is that at heart it's simply one big corporation.

  I got soundly told off when I made a similar observation. I mentioned that it is wtb&ts INC. and that the minute the INC. was added it became a CORPORATION, and as such it had to function as a corporation including how the main focus was the financial bottom line. Sheesh, talk about a spit flying response from the elder I said that too.
