2017 - Memorial Partakers Worldwide: 19,521. LOL!

w51 1/15 p. 61 par. 17 - "Seeing that we are nearing our complete exodus from this world into the new world, we suggest that all active Kingdom publishers engage in helping the more than half a million attenders out into the field service this coming week end of March 23, 1951. Thus you will aid them in having part in the final witness before the accomplished end of this old world takes place."

Yup, the end was so close 67 years ago that the org urged every visitor to the Memorial to go out on field service. Changed days, eh?

Scary Experience

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

something weird and scary happened to us last nihgt.

we had a few friends over for the weekend.

we love to go hiking and long walks wherever and whenever we can.

The Fall Guy

Wow! I hope you reported this to the police. Looks like you've got homicidal psychopaths in your area who need to be caught very soon. I wish you many enjoyable walks with your friends in the future - before "dark o'clock."

On a lighter note, here's something I received recently from a JW:

I was walking home last night and decided to take a short-cut through the cemetery. Three girls walked up to me and explained that they were scared to walk past the cemetery at night, so I agreed to let them walk along with me. I told them, "I know how you feel - I used to get freaked out too when I was alive."

Never seen anyone run so fast!

1981 quote made my blood boil

by neat blue dog in

i just got so angry coming across this quote from the wt, shortly after raymond franz was disfellowshipped:.

one who has been a true christian might renounce the way of the truth, stating that he no longer considers himself to be one of jehovah’s witnesses or wants to be known as one.

when this rare event occurs, the person is renouncing his standing as a christian.

The Fall Guy

I wonder if Ray Franz ever came to this realization about the designer name invented by Rutherford:

Jehovah's Witnesses = A denominational name with not one single scriptural backing for Christians.

Christ's witnesses - Matthew 10:18; Mark 13:9; Luke 24:48; John 1:15; 5:37; John 8:18; John 15:26, 27; Acts 1:8; 9:15,16; 10:39; 10:43; 13:31; 22:15; 22:20; 23:11; 26:16; 1 Cor. 1:6; 1 Tim. 2:6, 7; 2 Tim. 1:8; 1 John 5:9; Rev. 1:9; 12:17; 17:6; 19:10; 20:4.

@ JW's - Who did Jesus say Christians were to witness for, and who did God, the prophets, and first century Christians witness for? (see highlighted citations)

jehovah`s witnesses pride themselves in volunteering to help build k.h.`s ,witnesses who are in the building trades such as plumbing ,electricians ,plasterers , builders , tilers ,etc, that i know of gave of their time and effort to build k.h.`s free of charge ,and in many cases donated said materials as a gift to furthering true worship.. all at no cost to the g.b.

of jehovah`s witnesses at h.q.

CHARLATAN: A malicious trickster; a fake person, especially one who deceives for personal profit.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/charlatan

As long as the charlatans (and parasites) running the WTBTS can dupe people into believing that -

1) only the org is God's "channel" on earth, led by "Christ's brothers" (soon to be king-priests in heaven!)

and

2) only JW's are "true Christians" and God's chosen people.....

...then the cult will always have a hard-core of believers who are willing to offer their sacrifices to their god in Warwick who assures them that such obedience pleases their God in heaven.

The Pharisees ran the money-making business of worship 2000 years ago - nothing has changed.

Jehovah's Witnesses... Who sent the Star of Bethlehem?

by JW Answers in

jehovah's witnesses... who sent the star of bethlehem?.

the watchtower teach their followers that the star of bethlehem was sent by non other than satan... however as we take a look at the scriptures by comparing spiritual things with spiritual we begin to see that the star of bethlehem was not sent by satan, but used for the glory of god.a seasonal message to end the year.. watch now here :.

The Fall Guy

Interesting perspective regarding the Magi, Bobcat.

Any thoughts on how why/how the Magi came to the conclusion that it was a Jewish king and not a king from a different country? Someone gave them accurate info.

"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." Matthew 2:1,2 (KJV)

Chaos at Gatwick Airport

by The Fall Guy in

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-46623754.

perhaps all major airports will eventually employ their own industrial sized drone, operated by a trained/authorised pilot who can track and pinpoint the nut-jobs who cause such disruption and possible catastrophe..

The Fall Guy

Brilliant, Amelia. That's how to live life - just go for it!

On the subject of the Gatwick drones, I heard the owner of an anti-drone security company speaking on Radio 4's Today programme this morning.

He made it sound quite sinister by saying that these drones could have been pre-programmed to do what they did, rather than being manually controlled by individuals. He effectively revealed that commercial security companies do not have the technology yet to combat such situations. Holland uses a golden eagle to bring down drones.

JW Australian Finances

by Attewc in

i imagine someone has done this already, but i couldn't find it in a search.

feel free to move to another thread if i'm posting in the wrong one.. i've been watching leah remini's scientology show (eerily very similar psychological traits to jw's) and one episode talked about how australia now requires non-profit organizations to make their finances public, so i decided to look for jw's reports.. link to jw's reports:.

The Fall Guy

Good to have you join us here Attewc, and thanks for the work you've done in producing the Ozzie Branch's financial charts.

The financial & legal snakes at the HQ in Warwick have probably devised plans to siphon the bulk/all of the Australia Branch's cash back across the Pacific to the USA. I wouldn't be surprised to see wholesale redundancies or even closure of that Branch. Then loyal Ozzies would be "encouraged" to donate directly to the world HQ.

Coping with a change of heart

by Strugglingrsa in

after 24 years of active service as a witness my marriage came to an end causing massive trauma.during this tragic life event for a period of approx 8 months i went haywire.

drinking.

partying.smoking.i was disfellowshipped.i met a wonderful non witness along the way and am remarried.what i don't get is this.if an announcement was made that i am no longer a jehovahs witness then why does the bible principle in corinthians about not even greeting he who calls himself a brother still apply.

The Fall Guy

Welcome to the forum Strugglingrsa.

Many of us here have successfully dealt with similar circumstances to yours. You'll succeed.

When it comes to the org, remember Shrek's wise words - "Better out than in."
