  KHConf - I had no idea how big it has become!

  by sir82 in

  if you are a jw in the us or canada, you probably already know about "khconf".

  it is a business that has been set up (presumably by some jws somewhere) that supplies call-in numbers and teleconferencing for shut-ins to listen to kingdom hall meetings.. they have their own website: www.khconf.com.. .

  what i didn't know is how much they've spread!

  New directions are for all halls to use KHC. So you can be sure there is a rebate

  If anyone ever makes the claim that they don't focus on Money ALL the time...

  i saw this mentioned on reddit but no link - i found the article form this weeks bible study..... in the “congregation bible study” part of the meeting this week there was a part that said and i quote: “only jehovah god and his son can receive someone into the heavenly kingdom or the paradise on earth under that kingdom.

  we should diligently cultivate friendship with them by using what material riches we have in supporting kingdom interests”.

  November 2019 Watchtower (Would love to hear the comments in the hall)

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.

  also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.

  8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

  What if the lies are actually true? On matters that I have opinions on I can and will discuss( not scream and argue) the point and if I cannot present a reasonable explanation I have to examine my own stand

  Watchtower ships

  by Sektenkult in

  1. watchtower

  hi there, i found out yet about the ship's which our holy stock company watchtower had in paraguay, el pionero uno, the ship el pionero dos and el pionero tres.

  all three have been built by jehovah's witnesses themselves and the first 2 ships have been sold with 100% interest.

  i am now interested if anyone of you heard if watchtower does the same in other countries, like the philippines, venezuela or belize, building ships for free by the cult members and selling them years later profitable.

  They built boats to travel to islands, navigate rivers to preach. Same for planes. The rationale being it was safer to use a larger vessel than private small boats, single engine planes etc. Living quarters too. Selling before maintainence gets high, or need changes makes sense. Like e everything they do it ends up being a cash cow and no one catches on

  The infamous WT article "Why Has God Been So Patient?"

  by days of future passed in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i went to my sister's house because she was cleaning out the garage and she thought i must have tons of stuff left there.

  i didn't but there was a box of unplaced mags in one.

  i pulled out one when i got home and it was this one.. i'm sure that if i had read it when it came out, i would have felt that the wt had feelings of sadness over these children.

  why do jws hate pagans?

  by nowawake14 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  paganism from my view is just a mental fantasy.

  it's not real.

  so why do jws get mad at it anyway?

  Broadcasting move part 2

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think this is not an unimportant observation.. with the move of the broadcasting channel to the library part of jw.org the broadcasting are away from the general public.

  so the obscure gb video's about strange mathers are not out to the open anymore with a simple click to tv.jw.org.

  only the rank and file will find them easily.. i think this was the objective of the change.. g..

  Cost saving plus hidden a bit. Nit that the thing is easy to navigate for anyone

  The publishers should see the pages of letters not posted or overhear elders when they discuss what they really think of the ranks

  Where are the funds going to come from? Warwick Expansion

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so with the news that they are remodeling patterson and expanding warwick, where are the funds going to come from?.

  could this be a ruse like the need for thousands of kingdom halls proclaimed a few years back only to be replaced with the we realized the halls were not at capacity and the great sell-off began?.

  maybe the hope is going to be that the sheep will give give give and then all of the sudden, after prayerful consideration the gb have determined that the current resources are sufficient to create the needed media and content.. my bet is that in 10 years it will all be consolidated to warwick and walkill and patterson will be sold to who i have no idea, but they own a ton of property in upstate ny..

  Our Spiritual Heritage of Failed Expectations

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last sunday's watchtower tells the story of a man who:.

  was baptized in 1908 at the age of 20. he was very confident that he would soon receive his reward.

  in fact, when he proposed marriage in 1911, he told his prospective bride, pearl: “you know what is going to happen in 1914. if we are going to get married, we better do it soon!” did this christian couple give up the race for life when they did not receive their heavenly reward in 1914?

  That scripture about expectations wasnt written as encouragement. It was a comment on things that have failed

  The sad part is you can find and join this site, get responses but it is hard or impossible to join something like JW talk. The org site has meeting times and locations IF you can navigate " the best and easiest to use site" ever made.
