I can see every congregation becoming a unique legal entity very soon. Who would want to be an elder when you would loose your house over something like this?

shocking information near the bottom of this report from a watchtower lawyer definding the organization in australian courts.focus on the information under the heading: "the faithful and discreet slave".

quite the shocker... the society's lawyer statesthere is no true physical body of people, but only a theological arrangement.

the jws in the crowd gasped.

Muslims take priority Zeb. 5 Years ago I dismissed the whole White genocide claim as pure bunkum, it's getting harder to hold that line.

How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

by pale.emperor in

when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

Good point Data Dog, charity work would actually make people feel useful, it would do wonders for the depression epidemic.

Too restricting + more

by jdash in

good news or bad news first?

i'll do bad.. my grandmother is becoming more and more strict as i turn closer to 18, which is in 3 months.

i ask for the most simplest thing and it's like "let me think about it" i don't wanna seem as a complainer to you guys but i just want to be normal.

Ditto the girl next door, Your sister really need help right now and who better than you, somebody loyal and trustworthy for both of you. It will have difficult times with the young kids and their needs but it will help you mature quickly and if it works out you two will be closer than ever before.

Overwhelmed

by Freedom rocks in

does anyone else feel overwhelmed on what to believe?.

i've been doing lots of research on beliefs, evolution, creationism but i feel no further forward about what i truly believe.

for example i looked at the fossil record and tiktaalic and thought great it proves a lot but then i've seen counter arguments on youtube of people basically saying its a load of rubbish and doesn't prove anything.

The "Faithful And Discreet Slave Class" is it still a Doctrine / Belief ? of Jehovah`s Witnesses today ? 2018 ? or is it old light.

by smiddy3 in

i have listened to steven unthank`s podcast and found it very informative and interesting and thought i would ask this question for anyone who is still a practicing member either a pimo or a pomo who only goes along for a family member ,whether this doctrine is still a part of the religions teachings ,or whether it has been dropped altogether .. your replies are much appreciated ..

Hey Room 215, can you please provide a reference on the - 2013 usurpation of the FDS title by the governing body... there's no longer a "class."

WT Recruiting JW Solicitors (Lawyers)

by AverageJoe1 in

we all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.

at least that is their official stance.

it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.

A similar call went out in Australia much more recently than 2015 - as per Sparkys letter, probably only 6 months ago.
