  i have to thank tv.jw!!!

  (im not putting the complete link, but you know what i mean).

  after showing my wife the 'trolley song' as we now call it, she was rolling on the floor in embarrassment and shock.. she shook her head, and was clearly troubled by what we watched.. little by little, the org is actually helping more to wake up!

  i can't believe i'm the first one to admit going to this meeting.

  the first bit was used to set up the need.

  Small, medium and large.  Hmm...

  Step One: Build medium/large facility

  Step Two:  Consolidate congregations currently meeting in separate buildings to single more glamorous facility.  Maybe even large enough for multiple congregations to have separate meetings simultaneously in the same facility

  Step Three: Sell smaller buildings

  Step Three:   Make the rooms modifiable (like hotel meeting/convention rooms) so that the assemblies can be held in new facility

  Step Four: Sell existing assembly halls

  Step Five: Sell adherents on the increasing size of the organization even though growth has been stagnant.

  Why I like Jehovah's Witnesses

  by undercover witness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.

  i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.

  so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.

  They ARE nice people.

  They nicely spend hours trudging through snow, freezing rain and unbearably hot temperatures disseminating information that the men give them to pass out. 

  They know what the men told them about God's name... oooh just wish they'd reiterate that whole point about the Roman Catholic Monk who made up the name "Jehovah" mentioned in their publication "Aid to Bible Understanding".  None of the nice people seem to be knowledgeable about that. 

  And you are right!  The nice people do "know the prophecies in the Bible and pretty much what they mean and what is on the horizon and beyond."... until their leaders change the prophecies in the Bible and pretty much what they mean for what is on the horizon and beyond.  Right around then things get messy.  

  They are polite too. They believe it'd be rude to correct the group of men who analyze the Bible for them.  
  

  As for going door to door, they have been told to do it by scripture the leaders and won't stop up until this world's way of doing things ends the corporation sinks.

  As for their hearts... well... go ahead and join; just don't ask any questions that challenge what the men say like others on the board have done.

  They are really nice people.

  Another True Believer Dies Before Entering The Paradise

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a dear old man, 81 years of age died the other day.

  my family studied with his family in 1969 and the entire family left their beloved catholic church and became jehovah's witnesses within 6 months.the man was illiterate and unschooled.

  still, he believed "the truth" and even when some of his kids left or got disfellowshipped, he persevered.
