  LIES in Current Watchtower!

  by Eusebius Hieronymus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after posting on the maximus nourishment for the spirit thread about elaine pagel's "the origin of satan" and "adam, eve, and the serpent," i check my mail and find the watchtower for august 15, and a qfr (whole page) answering the question, "for how long a period of time did job suffer.".

  they say "job's suffering and its resolution may have occurred within a few months, perhaps less than a year.

  " blah, blah, tribulation momentary and light, blah, blah, christ will himself finish your training.

  WTBTS membership count prediction

  by Skimmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some thoughts on statistical projections of the wtbts membership count:.

  1) extrapolation (projection beyond known statistics) is hazardous for any measurement that does not derive from a simple model.

  an accurate model of the wtbts membership count would have to include demographics for each of the countries, and this would have to combine population age distribution data, educational attainment data, economic data, current wtbts coverage, and (of course!

  sister s (from another tread)was being sent off to live with her grandparents to get her away from her worldly boyfriend.

  this type of situation also ocurred in my area and i was wondering how prevelent it was.

  one particular family had daughters who had model/movie star good looks and this approach was tried-unsuccessfully.

  reappoinments to elder or MS after a move...why?

  by chester in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this may have already been discussed in this or other forums and i may have missed it.. in another thread chipster mentioned something about coming up for reappointment after a move.

  especially if i was coming up for reappointent after a move.

  it has always been a puzzle to me why a brother should have to be reappointed to his position after he moves to another congregation.. i have never heard anyone complain about it.

  Climbing the Corporate Ladder - Why They Do It

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that the wts is nothing more than a business is painfully obvious in the way many brothers seek 'positions'.

  i was always highly doubtful of the 'appointed by holy spirit' bs that we were always fed.

  appointments often came down to who kissed up the most to the decision-makers.

  2. friends

  the district assembly in houston tx last weekend was a trip!.

  first of all i was obliged to go because my daughter was babtised.. it was the longest day that i have had in some years now.

  i guess the longest day i have had since i quit the non-truth 5 years ago.. there was about 15,000 plus in attendance,for anyone who knows how big the astrodome is you would understand what a small group it appeared to be in that big dome.i attended a international assembly there back in 1975 i believe it was,and the dome was packed.. i have also been to many district assemblys there and there was always at least 20,000 plus in attendance.. i made good use of my waisted time and made some observations that i thought i would share with you.. here they are:.
