  Cart witnessing at the Toyota Grand Prix

  by Dagney in

  picture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.

  there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.

  it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.

  The pioneers in the congregation I was in love doing the carts because of the easy hours. What a ridiculous waste of time!

  from 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.

  to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.

  the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.

  We forget that some assembly halls have two or three residences for traveling overseers and other important folk. Maybe that's why this property has 75 acres which seems like alot even with parking. The Puyallup, WA assembly hall has a few residences on the property.

  So the 3.5 million is gone. Do you have any idea what they will be selling the property for?

  WT rules about forgiving a cheating spouse

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone else think it’s weird and controlling the organization says if your mate commits adultry, and then you have sex with them, you are not free to remarry again, since this means you forgave them.

  the bible never mentions anything about this.

  it’s so weird they have a say about what goes on behind closed doors of two people who are still legally married.

  I actually think it's an honest question by Addison 0998. The cult makes up so many absurd and crazy rules and once you're awake and out you finally have the opportunity to question each one without repercussions.

  Affected by assembly

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower

  hi - first some context - i have been pimo for about 20 years now and so have been to a lot of assemblies in that time.

  last weekend i went to a circuit assembly and for the first time afterwards i was able to talk directly to someone who knows i'm out.

  i realised then that although i didn't agree with any teachings (i sat picking holes in the arguements as usual) the experience of being there had affected me - the way of life started feeling normal as did the overall way of viewing the world.

  How Precious Is A Governing Body Mole(Double Agent, 5th Colunm) To Sabatoge The Watchtower Organization?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i would suppose that there are many at very sensitive operations at headquarters and around the world that are moles or double agents a 5th column if you will that are in but mentally out and full of hated for the governing body.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fifth_column.

  a fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or nation.

  the activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.

  JW's Blow Their Own Trumpet Each Month

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  w06 12/1 p. 27 par.

  11 what it means to love our neighbor - “jesus commissioned his followers to preach and to teach and to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” by our participation in this work, we show love for......... neighbor.”.

  by recording the number of hours of “love” shown to neighbours each month in their monthly report slip, aren't jw's in reality doing what christ said not to do?.

  Don't you know they are the most loving, giving, sacrificing people on Earth? At least that's what they remind their cult members each week.
