  The JW lexicon grows and evolves like an encrypted code for users. Basing anything on their latest terms is a recipe for pending obsolescence.

  How has 3 years of inflation affected WTC?

  by ThomasMore in

  1. social
  2. current

  the current u.s. administration and the fed says inflation is hard to tame.

  it was over 9% at it's peak.

  one of the greatest increases is price of food, something that everyone feels to some extent.

  I knew some sad cases at Bethel who would have had no way to provide for themselves if asked to leave. They all were uber loyal to the extreme. Vidiot may have a point.

  First video from the convention is all about FEAR

  https://youtu.be/cdzydtuoblw?si=tyr8hgdgaiyn7c4h.

  this was leaked only few days ago and it's a small segment of the video from the 2024 convention that has already started.

  the video shows a jw logo down while worried jws are watching it as a news item on their tv screens, others are seen hiding from the police, others driving is the countryside to escape the authorities.

  They do seem to be prepping the R&F for possible arrests. Their attorneys have stopped trying to fight in court, a tell tale sign that they know they are in the sights of law enforcement. Spinning it as persecution may be their only way to keep the whole crowd from walking out.

  I can’t say but I am concerned about the many Bethelites who might find themselves desperate if WTC cuts them. Already many have been sent packing and the ones I know are having a difficult time getting by. Most don’t have even Social Security.

  Jaracz was a real joy at Bethel also. I never heard a single good word about him from anyone. Seriously, not a single good word.

  Kingdom Hall Insurance

  by NotFormer in

  that the wt "self insures" kingdom halls has come up in occasional conversations on here.

  how exactly does that work?

  do they* actually set aside a portion of the monthly remittance from each kingdom hall and save into a pool to cover damage etc.

  In my years as a JW, I don’t ever recall WTC reimbusing any cong for expenses that were covered by the “self insurance”.

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  WTC can call it anything they want but it was a desperation attempt to avoid the consequences of a failed prediction - pure and simple.

  Since they were forced to amend the 1914 generation teaching, there has been no substitute teaching that follows any logic. Remaining JW's (minus those who are not actively planning to fade or DA) cannot explain what the current thinking is. This is a REAL problem for the GB who surely know that they are one pivotal moment away from having to admit that they have no clue.

  These men don't seem to have a plan to address the elephant in the room other than growing beards and allowing women to wear pants to the meetings.
