  Thank you for the update. No new Spanish NWT yet huh? I'm sure many in Spanish are starting to wonder if they'll ever receive the new version.

  Unfortunately the average jw will just conclude it is another sign that the end is near and consider it persecution.

  Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast

  by sir82 in

  so in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.

  restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.

  applicant: that's insulting!

  Interesting that none of the questions that are considered are related to the preaching work or how it will be affected. They must be realizing it's a waste of time.

  They added apostasy in this year's April study edition in the following article "What You Vow, Pay” para. 16. They stated "However, some married Christians have viewed certain situations as a reason for separation, such as the extreme endangerment of one’s life or spirituality by an abusive or apostate spouse." So obviously apostasy must be affecting greatly for it to be included in the list of reasons for separation. I don't remember it being included as a reason before this article came out.

  And to think that I used to be proud to follow through precisely on these type of instructions from them! Damn was I blind! And gullible!

  When is the last time you saw an educated middle class family become Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower

  we know from casual observation that if anybody does respond to their preaching/recruiting work it is usually someone that is a social misfit in some way or a person that was indoctrinated early in life.. think about all the nicer neighborhoods witnesses preach in.

  if a family of four with a father that is an engineer and a mother who is a medical professional ever walked into a kingdom hall for the first time and said they were studying, people would faint.

  lol.... this of course isn't what you would expect from a religion backed by the ultimate intelligent creator.

  In my 40 something years in "the truth" I never saw this type of person join. Funny I was thinking something similar this morning. How the org emphasizes the need to look for people who are down and out. They do this constantly by saying things such as "maybe a person's circumstances have changed and they're not doing well at the moment" or something to that effect. They do this because they realize people who are well off have no need to listen to the nonsense.
