  i remember when that came out, my mother didn't catch it in the original article in the wt.

  it was in one of the review "do you remember" thingies that she caught it.

  she asked me if it means what she thought it meant.

  Proverbs 28:13

  Verse Concepts

  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.

  How do you feel about the elders?

  by Lost in the fog in

  oh dear, i recently made a comment about an elder being dogmatic.

  and one of his best buddies sent me a wt article to help me realign my mind or something.

  this is where reality separates from fantasy and fiction.

  The search for power they have is gonna kill themselves.

  Maybe they feel powerful when they DF someone.

  But that's one person less to give donation and help in congregation.

  They have rutin shooting them self in the foot in this preach cooperation.

  I wonder about this subject. If there's a struggle among does in Bethel what to write. Cause most times is preach preach. Then they have put in they already completed the preaching work. Sometimes they cover subject in black and white. Other times they can cover same subject with more love and understanding. Don't know really the process for writing the article. Seems they divided the GB in groups and every group are free to write what subject they like for a week or month.You get a sense of that reading articles about tight pants now and then that they are divided in what's important.

  Today’s meeting and CO visit

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the meeting today was quite disturbing as usual and had to endure 2 talks by yet another egotistical, pompous co who gives talks like a hardcore southern baptist, but people adore no matter what crazy shit spews from their mouth.

  today, he talked about jesus illustration about how if your eye or hand stumbles you, remove it.

  he went into gory detail about how somebodies eye ball is pulled out from their head, and what it takes to cut someone’s hand off...perhaps even with a pocketknife...in front of many small children in the audience.

  Think does in the congregation do the same thing. They cherry-pick and read only article's that are about love. The other stuff some of this mental unstable person write ,many in the organization don't bother reading anymore.

  It used to be all abouth preach, donate money , follow directions from GB and suspect others in congregation where involved in secret sins.

  talking about tomorrow's wt study, that mentions over a quarter of a million baptized every year, a jw asked how many that is a day.

  i got out my calculator and answered over 778 a day.

  of course they were amazed at the growth, but immediatly i googled another statistic and read it aloud:.

  In the western world if does in the congregation wouldn't have any children it would be minus growth in every country. You almost only see JWs kids being baptized.

  Are there any young witnesses that don't seek higher education this days? The only one I know that don't is cause they don't like to study. Why are they always bringing up subject that are not relevant anymore.

  2. friends

  i converted at age 22, and left 15 years later (1988) so i don't really know what its like to be in high school as a jw.

  for those of you who do know: do teenage jw's hang out with each other?

  Think it's worse today for youngsters. Back in the 80s there were some kind of unity. Maybe not unity, but there were congregation partys and such. Not much of that anymore.
