Major congregational quake in Southern California

by Hecce in

this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.

a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.

the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

I just noticed last night that in the area I grew up two hall’s closest to the one I attended are gone along with two maybe three congregations. The remaining congregation was relocated to the hall I attended. I don’t know how many congregations or halls have been eliminated in the greater city area.

In the area I now live, rural area, there’s not much changing that I see other then people being told to attended other congregations no halls being sold yet. I’m thinking that if the halls aren’t worth much or could not be easily sold that the jws are being told to just stay put for now but I’m not sure maybe it’s just this area.

Russell's followers in British Columbia?

so i was interviewing a guy for a podcast episode today and he went and saw his grandmother over christmas to gather some history.

he wasn't raised a jw but it turns out his family was actually opposed to the jws because they went all the way back to russell.

according to him (from her stories), they refused to follow rutherford and that's where the split took place.

Jws were still into pyramid crap till 1928. I heard the first breaks with Rutherford was also about 1918 one reason was the book the Finish Mystery. Later people left and more breaks because of his failed 1920s Beth sirim predictions . He then reinvented the whole religion and changed the name after so many left.

Cost to build a hall and the lies of the cult

by JimmyYoung in

i was listening to a podcast on cost to build a hall and there was a brother from the stage saying it costs the cult half a million to build a hall.

lol its bs.

there is no fing way that it cost the cult a half million to build a hall.

Crazyguy2

So they still use jw labor, I thought because of issues in the past that they only do small stuff with jw labor now?

Jesus is Yahweh......Titles applied to YHWH and Jesus in Old and N.T.......credit to Bill Cetnar

Well the writers in the New Testament wanted a new god in Jesus so they equated him with Yahweh or his son. They even equated him with Amun in the book of Revelations. There’s like 5 or 6 synagogues found in Israel showing Yahweh as Helios, so syncretizing gods was common.

i do like the usa but winters suck!

florida has some charm but it gets brutal with heat and humidity.

california is too looney.

Crazyguy2

California is a huge state with some awesome weather and cool places to visit. Maybe the best place in the world would be somewhere in Italy.

Children

by Freedom rocks in

hi i haven't posted for a while but i have a question and would appreciate any advice offered.

i left the cult 2 years ago and i'm so happy now.

i struggled at first and with the help of the lovely men and women on here i got stronger and started to find myself and ive grown as a person (i'm not being told who i am or who i should be anymore).

One make sure he stays in public school. Teach him all about science and nature. Show him example of humanity older then 6000 years. Show him trees older then the flood. Show him places like in Egypt older then the flood still there today. Show him examples of the crazy in the Bible and it will all come tumbling down.

local, strange jw thinking

by lancelink in

i was reading today that the last star wars movie will be playing next week.

doing a little searching, i found that there have been 12 movies in the saga total, ( box office, total (12 films): $9.323 billion.)..

it got me thinking about when the empire strikes back came out, it was the second movie ( 1980).

Yesterday's Watchtower Study (from October issue) "Stay Faithful Through the Gt. Tribulation"

by BluesBrother in

this article has all the trappings of wts apocalyptic theology, doom and destruction for "the world" salvation into paradise for the faithful .a schedule of future events is described thus :.

1) a worldwide proclamation of peace and security.

2) the destruction of "babylon the great"......it confidently names the characters from this visionary biblical reference, without any supporting reasons.. 3)the nations will then , as gog of magog , attack the wts and the members .

I remember that hailstone message was suppose to start way back in the 80’s yet for some reason it didn’t . Maybe because there will never be a hailstone message from the jws it s just a ploy to keep the jws on edge.
