  Thought on “0 hours” reporting

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower

  so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.

  beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.

  the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

  Aah, the magic Kingdom hall. The actual requirements are the signed license and vows of the local authorities.

  If anyone answers truthfully there will be no applications.

  I am sure real-estate requires knowledge of divorce, fornication, homosex, child abuse?

  -or could it be something else ?

  In fairness every charity reminds donors at tax time.

  But I can think of none that do less for any cause close to the heart of donors.

  I am one of the best husbands in the world. With the caveat that I carefully chose a very good wife. And similar enough backgrounds and devotion to each other helps.

  I am not and never was a shining example of a " mature" JW whatever that means

  The sad part is the Israelis have started embracing gun control so the kibbutz had none.

  How Much of Russell and Rutherford is Left?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  russell is kind of acknowledged as the founder, but rutherford is the one who really made the wt what it is, or at least laid the foundations for what it came to be, today.

  how much would someone from that era recognise in the wt today?

  what are the big changes that they would see?.

  This Generation/ 1975

  by TxNVSue2023 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was born in 1977 & came in as a convert in 2003 --- so i have no idea what went on before my time.. however i have been familiar with the scriptures of "nobody knows the day or hour" & " it will come as a theif in the night" meaning that it was sure but unpredictable time.

  how could anyone belive that anyone else ( organization or not) put a date on it?.

  also what was the significance of 1975 anyway?

  1975 was supposedly the end of 6000 years of mankind's existence. A seldom mentioned belief is that each creative day is 7000 years. Hence the 1000 year reign would be at the end of the 7th day of rest.

  The gentile times ended in 1914 if you use select scriptures, gregoruan calendar mixed with bible calendar. That generation was supposed to see the end. Adults, then children old enough to reason, then anyone born 1914--chsnged as the people got older. Oct4/5 plays in as "Gods" year start date, 6pm somewhere

  Confused yet?

  Every one of us has hoped we would not get old and see a glorious kingdom. The troubles in the world are not now the worst ever seen. Think!, would you prefer to live in ww2, ww1, be a Armenian versus turk, black plague, gengus khan, shit happens
