  Arrangement to Accelerate Building Kingdom Halls

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

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

  it was a 3 hour video stream from patterson.

  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.

  Period of time from crack to avalanche

  by NeverKnew in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know, people are very different and have different levels of holds to the organization, but i'm insanely curious about how long an exposure to ttatt may marinate before culminating into an action to research further.. from your earliest memory of a planted seed due to an event, challenge from another person, accidental website hit... whatever... (the crack) to the time the ttatt became a reality, (the avalanche), how much time expired?.

  i guess we have to remember that everyone here is a success story and that for many, it may be never.. .

  can an unhappy married woman vent?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .

  let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].

  he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.
