that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.

there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

I used to feel pity that they are 100% full on in that they are held captive to the concept that they are God's Chosen ones...but then that was wiped out when Mr G.Jackson of the GB said in Australia that he hopes to ask Jesus soon a few question.

They live in their own little bubble...

It must be a concern of all the information that is now been leaked

by joe134cd in

i have put up previous posts about this in the past, but i just thought that it was worth mentioning again.

it has to be of concern to them with how quickly information is getting leaked.

hell it even surprises at just how slowly information spreads by offical means.

I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to release letters that were not true but in a rue to catch bethelites or elders who leak out...

Printing Company to Video Production Company - Insider Information

by thedepressedsoul in

many people think that wt is a publishing company and at one time that was true.

however, they are slowly fading that out into more digital publications.

we all have come to the conclusion that printed material from the wt is going way of the dinosaur.

Yup...and that is what is happening in other publishing companies that produce content that used to be printed...

My Opinions on whats going on in WT land - Insider Information

by thedepressedsoul in

first off, i'd like to state that i currently have "privileges" in the congregation and volunteer at bethel on and off throughout the year.

that's as much information as i will currently give about myself.. starting off, i think something big is coming in the form of lawsuits and bad pr.

they seem to be batting down the hatches in preparation for something the last few years and even more so the last few months.

Interesting comments that Bethel are all bumbling fools who can't manage a project or their finances.

I find this strange, I worked in Bethel in the UK for a few years and went over to NY and if anything they were more prudent and project managed every little thing to make sure nothing is wasted including time and especially money.

So how they have gone from being that to this is very strange in my opinion...I'll also add they have sold a billion dollars worth of property in the last ten years...the cost of Warwick and UK Bethel combined is not even 200 million so just how the money has dried up I don't get.

I don't think they are in trouble in the immediate future, I work in a publishing firm and all round the world publishing firms are cutting costs and looking at expenditure to try and survive in a digital age.

The WT are doing no different to all other publishing companies so in my opinion they will not fail or go bankrupt in the next year, they are actually thinking about their long term survival as a publishing company by cutting costs now.

It may seem sudden to us exjws but we are seeing the same thing in publishing firms where they "panic" and start to make drastic changes.

Just my two cents...

If they do start to struggle and get lawsuits beyond what they can handle nothing would give me more joy!

Just 'phoned London Bethel!

by The Searcher in

i asked if the new britain branch construction had stopped, and i was told that "the governing body instructed us to cease all work on the project.".

"earthquakes" in one place after another!.

So, will the UK Bethel send the money they stripped off congs back to the congs if no building work goes ahead?

As many are still miffed about that...

Reasons for leak and building stop story

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

i have some feeling about the am2015 leak and the recent building stop story going arround.. it wouldn't surprise me that the information is a calculated leak.. - jw's are informal informed about the changes and adopt them informal.. - the building stop influences the concience of jw's for donating more money.. at the other hand, maybe there has occured a financial disaster for example they invested bilions in volkswagen.. gorby.

They are only leaked to exjw's though....I've asked still-ins and they have no idea.

After Death Communications in the JW community

by jack2312 in

my name is jack and i'm looking for after death communications from the jehovah witness community.

an after death communication (or adc) is when a loved one sends a kind of message to this side of life after their death.

it can be a dream or smell (like perfume or roses that would be attached to them in memory) or a feeling of their presence.

notsurewheretogo

Not wanting to offend anyone but the mind is a powerful device...losing a loved one is the hardest thing ever...we all have had that loss...and most of us wish that they were still around...in whatever form.

But the fact remains that in 2015 there has not been to date any conclusive proof via picture or video of anything supernatural....ever...period.

Given that there are more mobile devices on this planet than can capture pictures and video in HD than there are actual people then that stat tends to suggest there is no life after death and there is no supernatural thing...

There are still unexplained situations and coincidences that we haven't yet got the facts to be able to explain but that is not proof of anything supernatural.

Therefore I tend to lean to the fact it is in people's minds...as I say the mind is powerful and our mental faculties are strong.

But life after death? There is no actual evidence or facts to support it which given there have been billions of humans that have died that in itself weighs towards the conclusion I come to.

I of course respect others who disagree.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

by Funchback in

there were many addressed to me.

for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.
