  Are JWs breaking the law?

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  everytime a publisher moves congregations they have a confidential letter of introduction sent from one body of elders to the other .

  this letter contains some very very sensitive information like if they had sexual problems or mental health problems or if they self harmed etc.

  most people don’t know but they can request or insist on seeing this information through a freedom of information request .

  Loved the "scriptures" you included. I see what you did there.

  Wow! Amazing! 10,318 hrs per each new baptized JW. The equivalent of five years full time employment per each baptism. Pretty sad in my opinion, considering most of those are no doubt "yung wahns" who have been coerced into baptism by their parents.

  From jw talk came this comment: "So like C----- mentioned, in recent years Serena does not appear to have been living a life as 1 of Jehovah’s people. But in fairness, she was never baptized. So we can view her in a positive way"

  Yeah, see how that would work out if she were not wealthy, likely donating a large amount of $$$$$ to WT, or some poor, younger twenty something girl who was not a celebrity. The hypocrisy of the word fairness, and the way they are drooling on their shoes over her "baptism" is nauseating.

  Because all that counts is that you signed up and your name was announced. It was and is all for show.

  And THAT is it in a nut-shell.

  With that lower hour requirement,,,they will make it sound like there will no longer be an excuse ''not to pioneer''.

  And they will forget about the principle in Mark 12: 41-43 in their rush to condamn anyone who does not pious-sneer!

  it’s all in person and only fully vaxed can go

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  1. watchtower

  2023 will see a big push to get rank and file back to in person meetings and ministry.

  they have opened a can of worms with zoom but what they really want is only in extreme illnesses cases can someone use zoom .

  the only problem is they want everyone fully vaccinated which means if you didn’t go for your latest booster in the last several months then you are no longer fully vaccinated and just the same as someone who never accepted any shots right from the start.

  I posted a comment on another thread about this very quote. " Therefore, it can er. . ." They used a qualifying term. "Can", which should not be confused with "Does." If you were to ask anyone of those obese buffoons if they DO err, they would deny, deflect, and likely DF you. The way they word things should always be looked at as if you were studying a professional illusionist. Don't watch what they are doing with their right hand, it's the left hand that you need to watch to see how the trick is done. Just my meager two cents worth.

  Does This Case Show The Value of the 2 Witness Rule ?

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i read this in the public area of jwtalk, about a canadian case concerning reena virk, over 20 years ago..

  “manjit, her father, got arrested by the police due to reena's accusation of sexual abuse.

  he lost his job, many of his friends and almost his family.

  Is it a "secular" story, or a WT "experience"?

  If the latter it is likely massaged beyond recollection to fit a WT narrative, and nearly if not a total fabrication.

  Young children are not very likely to make up stories about CSA, and not many abusers are going to abuse in the open.

  Have you ever been on a congregation picnic?

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  were you ever on a congregation picnic?

  i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".

  well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.

  They can have fun in the new system!

  Yeah, if searching for dead bodies and burying the bones of the killed for 300 years is fun, I guess so. Then after that you will have fun working your ass off to turn the entire earth into a paradise to be enjoyed by the GB 3.0, stifling any normal feelings in fear that you might happen to have an inappropriate thought and ToMo III will get the fun of turning you into a human hotdog.

  getting round the territory slowly compared to before?

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from what i know most territory maps in most congregations are being done much much slower than before.

  my congregation is very very slow getting round the territory compared to before.

  then pioneers will have hour requirement coming back in march but they are just not used to getting 3hrs a day 7 days a week.. many congregations used to get round all their territory every so often, now all congregations around north london where i am (yes i’m an ms involved with territory servants) are hardly getting around their territory at all.. of course letter writing was slow going but now back to first call hardly anyone is going out in person and those few that do don’t do that much.. even the elders who are supposed to take the lead don’t seem to come out much at all and when they do i know of more than one example of them only doing ten mins maybe a few houses then going for the obligatory coffee break.

  My dad had a good saying about the way people were driving a vehicle that may fit the way territories are being covered now. "If they were going any SLOWER they would be backing up!"
