  the wt for this upcoming sunday 10/07 is especially precious in its standard double speak.

  aren't we so grateful to the f&ds who directly mediates our relationship with jesus christ and give us the food we need at the proper time?

  i dunno....maybe i have anger issues with the the wt?.

  "The Bible clearly warns us not to lean on our own understanding."

  Hmmmm 1John 4:1 seems to indicate otherwise: ""Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world."

  Disaster Relief Funds

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if the need for relief is beyond what the congregations in the area can provide, the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses arranges to supply what is needed.

  [...] since the work is performed by unpaid volunteers, the funds that are allocated go toward actual relief, not administrative expenses.

  Watchtower is also effective in compelling those that they help to send in their insurance checks.

  Never heard of that before...

  What changes would stabilize JW membership?

  by StarryNight9 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen many topics about how things are changing or might be changing in jw doctrine/culture.

  some have extrapolated how those changes would result in declining jw membership.

  i'm curious to know what changes others think would stabilize those numbers.

  WATCHTOWER Is Trying To Put Cameras In All of Their Kingdom Halls

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  one of my best friends is in the security business.

  he told me the other day of how the watch tower has been in contact with his good friend and business associate.

  evidently they are inquiring about putting cameras into every kh so that they can do 24 hour monitoring.

  2. child-abuse

  in the montana sex abuse court case for the first time watchtower has been required by the courts to give a financial statement to the court to assess awards of punitive damages for negligence and (for the first time)malice in non compliance of mandatory reporting laws.. watchtower corp of new york has finances in excess of $2 billion while cc of jw is worth $49 million.

  this doesn't include the pensylvania corp or what overseas branches may have.. pretty healthy bank balance by any standards..

  Joe134cd - interesting thoughts! I wonder if they will do option #2.

  JW Gonebad - you are not wrong, but my parents lived below the poverty level and still made their monthly donations. They would rather skip a meal or two, than not put money in the box.

  Taking children out on the ministry

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can i ask your views on taking children out on the ministry?

  .

  do you have any experiences you can share of things you as a child/your children/grandchildren have witnessed on the ministry that they shouldn't have?.

  Mom took me out EVERY Saturday morning - rain or shine. I was embarrassed, afraid I would run into school mates etc. My anxiety levels were extremely high back then. To this day I suffer from stomach problems related to the stress and anxiety that the JW's caused during my childhood.

  If not worrying about FS, there were all the other rules to be adhered to, and no playing with the worldly kids. Left me lonely and alone a lot of times.
