i'm not sure how many in the organization is like this, but there some jws who love seeing others get disfellowshipped, and my father-in-law is one of those.
he became a jw because he loved the idea of being the head of the household, and lording it over his family.
as a jw he is very hypocritical, my husband would tell stories of how they would celebrate christmas until his mother-in-law called him on it.
If Jehovah really cared, he would surely have exposed it all rather than have people disgrace his name
That's what I thought too. But I was informed that HE DID CARE! That's why he let that sh-t happen, so that he could "lovingly" provide the opportunity for his servants to prove their love for him and that come what may they would be "loyal" to the governing body, the only true mouth-pieces of Jehovah himself.
many people have said there is no emergency at the border for people illegally coming into the country and furthermore we have an obligation to help these people in a humanitarian way come through.
.
do you think we can just keep on taking in all of these people?
After total control of congress after the election all his failures and world class blunders are still President Bush's fault.
There I fixed it!
can this be verified?
just speculation so far, so i was just wondering.. .

What about jws without access or personal funds for a computer and printer and supplies (paper and ink)?
JW thought process...Screw them. We don't need them!

They must still have a MS who stocks the thing. What do they now call him? The cabinet servant?
Where I live they call them....sisters. Most of the men have pretty well told the eldumbs to stuff it, so now "sisters" run up and down the aisle with mics, stock the advertising kiosk, run the sound, pretty well everything except the "teaching" harangues b that the eldurrs still keep. Just had the circus oversneer go of shift on the congregation about men no longer being spiritual and chasing the appointment carrot.
a married brother with multiple children turns in 10 hours of time per month.
a group of single brothers ranging in age from 13-16 turn in 10 hours per month.
the married brother works full-time.
It’s assumed 4 are being used for family worship, so the assumption is they are doing that, but only getting in 6 hours in the field ministry.
Many years ago my dad was booted off the body for getting "only" 5 hours per month in the "ministry". They deducted the 4 hours for family study, plus the 16 hours per month in weekly bible studies with persons in the "field". I only wish I could have completed helping him write the Borg out of his will before he suddenly died.
those wanting a copy of this file.
https://docdro.id/fllorzffile example:4. circuit overseer assistance arrangement: in harmony with the announcement to the congregation, please arrange for a resolution to be put to the congregation, authorising payment from congregation funds equivalent to £4.50/€5.00 per congregation publisher for the 2019 service year.
if the body of elders believes the suggested amount would impose a hardship on the congregation, the resolved amount can be adjusted accordingly.. .
Agreed, they want MORE money. I just had to forward a mid six figure estate "donation" to those leeches. The letter I got back was a couple paragraphs stating how much money was needed for ALL THE KINGDOM HALLS that need to be built, and all the cost of translating publications. Then the final paragraph was short and to the point asking if there would be any more money that they would get!
Damned greedy bastards!!
i was doing some reminiscing and remember the days back in the late 80s and early 90s where i truly could say the meetings were so encouraging and that i felt the holy spirit present and operating on all of us.
today when i attend, there is nothing of the sort.
is it because jehovah has withheld it?
Holy Spirit? No such thing in the congregations.
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
This is my Scotch of choice. I bought enough to last as it is no longer distilled from what I understand.
we all know the society would love to get rid of all the problems caused by clinging to 1914 and all they claimed it meant for the last 100+ years.. it looks like they are laying the groundwork for easing away from the whole concept of 1914. this would also let them do away with the ridiculous "overlapping generation" bullcrap.
what a diaper load that has been.... anyway, the following is from their super secret marching orders for april, 2019. draw your own conclusions.... "3.
“100 years of faithfulness”: the coordinator of the body of elders, or another elder, should be invited to read the following special announcement.
I'm sure they could come up with something significant occurring in 1934.
*** w67 12/1 p. 729 An Invitation Is Extended to You ***
from 1934 onward, those of the “bride” class, with heavenly hopes, spoken of as the “anointed remnant” of Christ’s brothers, plainly pointed out that these “other sheep” must now make a full dedication of themselves to God and symbolize this dedication by water baptism and then become associates and fellow witnesses of Jehovah with his remnant class.
