  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?

  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?

  
  

  they have to pay millions and millions to Google if they want to appear before the "apostate" results when you search"Jehovah" or "JWs" in google. Other millions to produce professional videos. And still other millions to internet security. I can't believe that poor educated JWs are able to secure jw.org without the help of "worldy" professionals

  little acts of kindness.

  by zeb in

  just had a coffee on way home when two young mums with babys in strollers came in with the usual bags and stuff for the little ones needs.

  i recall our days of little ones and the times we rarely went out.. i bought a coffee voucher for each mum and gave them my best wishes.

  i delight in doing random acts of kindness.. i wish everyone here as well a safe and happy christmas/ new year time.

  Christmas music

  by Are you serious in

  today i made a classic christmas music station on pandora.

  it's great being able to listen to this type of music at this time of the year without my conscience bothering me or in fear of being killed over it😁.

  I have a special relation with christmas music... Exactly one year ago, someone reported the elders that I took part to a musical medley including "jingle bells". So they investigated and asked me to have a little talk about conscience, false religion, Babylon the great... When I left the kingdom hall, I decided to never go back ! So did I for 12 months!!

  Another reason Watchtower may be hurting financially

  by shepherdless in

  2. beliefs

  i don't think anyone else has raised this point.

  below i set out the case that the jw demographic in usa has a steadily decreasing combined income, and as a consequence, has less money to donate.

  not only is the flock not growing, the flock is producing less wool for the borg to fleece.

  A religion mostly composed of part-time toilet or window-cleaners or retired ladies will be condemned to get fewer and fewer money.

  ...and so the shunning begins

  by Phoebe in

  i am now officially 'inactive' so am no longer chased by an elder a for a report.

  the congregation i belonged to never had much time for me anyway, i said once i could drop down dead in the k.hall and no one would notice.

  so i never expected anyone to be particularly bothered that i wasn't there and they aren't.

  I'm living the same situation but, before I stopped preachig and going to meetings, most of the people I really loved were strongly told to avoid talking to me because of my "wordly spirit".

  I'm sure they really believe they stay on the right side of the line and protect themselves and the holyness of the congregation...

  2. beliefs

  i've recently been at an assembly here in romania and there was an announced they were running a 10,000 euro deficit and urging all attendees to donate more money besides the already 5k has was donated during that day.

  i really don't understand these things.

  it's their own assembly hall.
