imagine an elder stepping up to the microphone at the hall, and instead of doing his part, he would just talk about all that's not right in that religion and take his time talking about his doubts before stepping down as elder.....and no one would stop him from talking because he is respected and because he would be the head elder and every other elder would be taken by surprise and wouldn't know what to do..... has this ever happened, do you think it could ?.

do you think it could

so i met this girl last night whose best friend is best friends with joel engardio.

i said that i would really like to talk to him and she said that she could get me his phone number and he would be happy to speak with me.

i haven't seen the film "knocking" yet,...so i don't really know what i would discuss with him at this point.

Ask him when we can expect his registration here on this forum so that we may deal with him directly.

Good luck!

MY BOOK RELEASE!!!

by jakes in

well folks.my book is now released.. book release.

new book information.

losing the faith.

Hmmm, I wonder how many sentences I can get out over the phone when I call Bethel to read it to them, before they hang up!

Shall we start a pool? LOL!! OUTLAW? How many? LOL!!!

Incidently, back when YAHOO had 'user rooms' {jw room}, I would get on mic and read Rays book. It drove the jws nuts. But what they grew more angry over was when I would read the latest WT study {thanks to blondie} to people surfing in asking about the religion. They could not understand why I was doing it. They surely do now.

United Nations Website: Scan of Watchtower NGO status!!!!

by Lady Liberty in

good evening all,.

just thought i would post the scan of the watchtowers ngo membership straight from the uns website.

so for anyone that has someone saying that is just "apostate" talk like my grandmother said to me..it will be harder to deny it seeing it straight from their site!

Is being listed on the DPI as an NGO really that big of a deal? So now they have access to information and greater ease with the UN in dealing with rights issues. JW's stay out of politics but still obey laws and pay taxes, we still use government programs for assistance that we pay into. Does that mean one is meddling in politics?

Respectfully, if you seriously want to fully comprehend the magnitude of this hypocrisy [ THE BIG DEAL], you MUST read the last six years of information on this issue. It's an exhaustive feat, yet mandatory, in my opinion, in order to gain ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE of WTBTS involvement with the 'WILD BEAST'.

Happy trails and welcome to the forum. Google has tons of threads from here on the subject.

Assembly Hall shakedown - Columbia SC

by sir82 in

jw
friends

from someone who attended:.

there was a big elders meeting in columbia sc on saturday june 9.. around 240 congregations, 2000+ elders.. the society wants to build a brand new assembly hall in columbia, sc, to handle the huge influx of jws moving to the us southeast from up north.. they expect to have it done in 34 months (finished by april 2010).

total cost estimated to be approximately $8 - 9 million.. they want to have the whole thing paid for by the time the building is done - no long term loans.. they "strongly suggested" that each of the 240 congregations commit to supporting "their share" of the expense.

July KM - warning against active apostates - summary

by dozy in

the question box in july deals with the internet - mainly concerned with children on myspace & similar sites -mentioning that your child could be talking to paedophiles , dfd ones or even "active apostates" .

the main article deals with the - "exciting" and "thrilling" news of the new wt arrangement (maybe some people should get out more).

nothing new in the article , which has as the sole justification the need no longer to explain "theocratic" terms like "pioneer" , but it does seem that the awake will be tailored more to non-christian people.
