If I get to new congregation and they are not hospitality but like to be nosy. They just don't get the help in congregation from me they could have gotten. Reap what you sowe. Have to treat them like children. If they behave they get help. -

Some times it's an self-righteous CO or someone else that claims organization sent him that are behind splitting of congregation. The could claim elder if not doing there job and it's better to split. Usually after some months one of the two congregation start doing really bad. And orders come from brach to unite congregation to help the one struggling. Seen this many times.

Hospitality - How not to.....March 2018 study article.
by punkofnice inwhat do you make of this part of the march 2018 watchtower study edition?.
2 among other things, peter urged his brothers: “be hospitable to one another.” (1 pet.
4:9) the word “hospitality” in greek literally means “fondness for, or kindness to, strangers.” note, however, that peter urged his christian brothers and sisters to be hospitable “to one another,” to those whom they already knew and associated with.

Well JWs are usually not hospitality to other JWs or people outside congregation. So they have to start from scratch when talking about hospitality. That's why they focus on being hospitality to other JWs first. In the future there will be reminders to people outside congregation. But JWs will go to KH listen. Go outside the door and forget everything they heard. As usual.

Thanks for anwsers. Seem to be a arrangement for dividing groups in congregation. Also as pioneer arrangement to make some think they are more special then others in KH. Basically to use as carrot for them to make more in service.

Today's Watchtowe Study, Child Baptism
by BluesBrother insuffice to say that i fundamentally disagree with the point of this article, a cynical attempt to boost numbers.
it goes against bible precedent and their own long standing practice.
they timothy as an example of a youthfull christian, a young man.. sure but he was not baptized young .

Just wonder what they teach in school for elders? They always have this schools don't know if it's once a years or more. Just wonder what they learn. Cause quality in congregation been declining years and years now. Thought idea with learning things is to improve quality in congregación.

Do Witnesses Experience Racial Discrimination To Your Knowledge?
by minimus inmy experience in the kingdom hall was that racial discrimination and profiling was not typically practiced....that i know of.
i was in a diverse city with every type of skin color and nationality imaginable.. i’m wondering if the witnesses have changed due to the current affairs exposed by the media everyday.
are there discrimination issues in jw land??

They discriminate if you young, maybe you commiting secret sins. If you singel, maybe you have sex with someone. If you or not doing lot of hours, maybe you are materialistic. If you are not a elder and male maybe you or not spiritual. If you speculate on Bible teachings maybe you are apostate. It's all about discrimination in this organization. Why wouldn't they discriminate about race? I think there opinion about other races, they bring that up at home with family. Cause it's not socially acceptable. Well I know they do cause i been a JW for some time now😋

Overlapping Generations

He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.
Think they just should put it out there if they did just so as Bible wrote or if they have committed serious errors in ther explanation.
Cause if this is God organizing and some things are not being bless, they should say what and maybe shut down does areas of worship that are not being bless.
This explantation about overlapping generation and other things gonna become pretty old when organization goes deeper and deeper in trouble now.
