What can the leadership at Watchtower do to turn things around?

by UnshackleTheChains in

let's play devils advocate here.. put yourself in the governing body's shoes.

they are well aware of all the issues they are facing.

they know their numbers (they 'do the math' as they say in the us).

Sell everything and give the money to all those who have suffered child abuse and shunning at the hands of dubs...

Some more background information on Geoffrey Jackson

by Listener in

born in 1955 jacko was baptized at 13 years of age in 1968.his life story, printed in the august 2015 watchtower doesn't state the year in which he married, it's fairly general when talking about it.

hmmm, i wonder why?i've come across a recording of an interview with jacko at a hall dedication in another part of the us in 2009 which provides some further information.he married his first wife, jenny, in 1974 at the grand old age of 19. no wonder they didn't want to print it in the watchtower.unfortunately his first wife, jenny, was diagnosed with cancer in 1999.in 2003 jacko was sent a letter from the gb stating he was being transferred to hq and his wife would be given appropriate work.

he initially didn't know why they were being called to hq as he felt they were being very productive in their fijian paradise, he states that they brought 75 people into the truth.

This just highlights that the GB are full in....they are Captives to the Concept that they are chosen...the very fact that when the Charity Commission asked Jackson about Jesus using a scripture Jackson replied that he would like to ask Jesus the same question when he meets him soon.

Utterly deluded.

But the point about GB meetings is interesting too...I've sat in elders meeting where an elder with a dominant personality will get his way yet it is perceived as "Holy Spirit"...seems true of the GB, I can imagine tight pants Tony getting his way at GB meetings and yet Jackson would think it is indeed Holy Spirit.

Holy Shite more like.

Is There Any Thing That Would Make A JW SERIOUSLY Question Their Religion?

by minimus in

i realize that jehovah’s witnesses have been dumbed down for long time now.

.

still, i think there must be something that would make them really question their beliefs, even their life.. i think that if witnesses were told they could take blood or that disfellowshipping was unloving, they might stop and take a hard look at everything they have sacrificed their lives for.. i know the organization has muddled these subjects before but the i think even die hard witnesses might start to second guess the governing body..

American JWs - Marriage in Foreign Countries

by NeverKnew in

jw

as a non-jw, i now know of at least 3 american jws who have left the country, married some random person in a third world country and who have returned to the us alone.

there may be a 4th one soon.. it could be pure coincidence, but just thought i’d throw it out there to see if there’s some bizarre jw logic to this .

i’m no longer close enough to the group to hear any details so... could be purely coincidence.

Knew a PO who went to an African country for a month to preach. He was married already but got married again in Africa!

Was disfellowshipped for it!

If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914

by blondie in

jw

doesn't that throw off the date?.

*** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.

in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

When they changed it from 606 to 607 when they realized there was no 0 year it shows they had the answer as Simon says and had to make it work to the answer.

The reality is they changed something supposedly set in history (their 606 BCE) to 607 where they should have changed 1914 given no zero year...but they didn't...because they had the answer and have to make the prophecy fit.

The way Simon moderates this board is a good example to other boards.

What it does do is show people "on the fence" that exjws are "mentally diseased" because the attack on lloyd has been vitrol to say the least.
