hi folks.
atlantis has very kindly let me see a copy of the aug 21, 2013 letter to all bodies of elders in the united states.. they are being instructed to re-organize the service meeting for the week commencing september 2nd (next week) to include a special recruitment talk to attract skilled volunteer workers for the new warwick hq.. an interesting feature of the letter is its comparison of the project with nehemiah's rebuilding of the walls of jerusalem.
considering the relocation of hq is financially motivated more than anything, the analogy is more than a little bewildering.. here is a scan of the opening comments of the two-page outline, to be given in the next local needs item.... .
“Those who volunteer to assist at Warwick may have to make sacrifices in order to help.” But it promises, “Jehovah will richly reward their efforts.”
Exactly how will Jehovah richly reward their efforts?
Will he pay your bills at home while your off giving free labor that will richly reward the governing body?
I just love how the push the compenstation for your sacrifices off on Jehovah so they have no skin in the game.
what do ya think of that?

You may want to ask her if she has been doing any cooking with aluminum cook ware. It could be that.
i cor.
5 ---- was she out of the reach of the elders, because she was an unbaptized subject?--- were ladies of less important to paul's thinking?
, like the primary blame on adam for "sin" rather than eve's?-- for those that still find the talking snake saga worthy of discussion for one reason or another.
Possably because Paul never got paid for a tent that he made for the man so he had an axe to grind?
tonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.
of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.
the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.
Interesting comments. Marked.
okay people i have a new video that some of you may be interested in- i believe it is the only one of its kind online.
three elders meet with a young female that knows ttatt and is trying to get back into the jws for family reasons.
the audio also includes the three elders disagreeing and deliberating after she is dismissed from the room and then when they call her back in.
If they were to find out about this recording, they would not need to prosecute anyone in order to disfellowship her again.
They would only need to recognize that she recorded them and then made it available to appostates who openly claim she knows the TATT and she only did this for family reasons. It would be hard to believe that elder #1 would not disfellowship in a heart beat regardless of any legal issues.
as a 13 year old a friend of mine had a jimi hendrix record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words.
he bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player.
so we played the record and i spun it backwards andnothing happened.
Didn't she know that if you burn the album and it screems, that is how you can tell if it is demon possessed?
I had the exact same experience, except in my case it was the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album from Iron Butterfly.
i'm researching a few things, and i'm wondering: are elders ever put through a back ground check either before or after their appointment as an elder?.
They are back ground checked by the 'holy spirit'. What more could you ask for?
a good friend of mine invited me to a party after her meeting on sunday.
i told her i was not going any longer and she doesn't care.
she also let us know that no other witnesses would be there.
Once the announcement has been made you can expect the loyalty test to be applied to your JW employees as they will start to get pressure from the Borg to quit their job to prove their loyalty to "Jehovah" the organization.
a two mile corridor was set up around the scene of the accident.
firefighters were having trouble removing the young person trapped inside their vehicle, equipment kept failing.
suddenly out of nowhere a person looking like a catholic priest showed up, blessed and anointed the injured and told the firefighters their equipment would now begin to work.
The “angel priest” who appeared at the scene of a Missouri car crash, anointed and prayed with the teenage victim, then vanished has been identified as Rev. Patrick Dowling of the Jefferson City Diocese.
