  Interesting observation: As time goes on......it seems the jehovah witness will be shortened to JW

  by goingthruthemotions in

  2. experiences

  maybe it's just me, but i do believe that the jehovah witness brand as we know it will be solely jw or jw .

  org eventually.. the reason being is because if you do a search on google or youtube for jehovah witness.

  so much bad publicity.

  Comments are about 70-30 against

  Google translation of a typical pro comment:

  Carla I FFZ De La Cruz2 weeks ago 

  how much stupidity, jehova forgive them they know not what they say , ignorance the grieves and its output is discrediting the people of the true God , Jehovah , witnesses are those who are filling the earth with Jehovah's Word , the Bible the best musicians are witnesses in the best doctors the best are with them and yet do not need college, because God's people are the best

  A question about WTBTS moles.

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  with all the info from videos to boe letters, to the flock book ( this is huge when you learn ttatt!

  ), why can't we find out who the wtbts hired to aid in their rebranding efforts?

  we know all about the rc and monica applewhite for jeehoober's sake, so why in the hell can't we find out who is behind the rebranding?

  In that memorable conversation my friend told me that they were trying to become like the evangelical churches; from what I am seeing I think that they are going to end up with a blend of Mormons and evangelicals.

  Well the information is bad, that we know; as far as delivery the guy is making an effort and I am sure that the audience is eating every word that he is saying. Remember that this guy has an interesting background with I think German as his native language and Italian, English and some Spanish added.

  About ten years ago I was told by a Bethel "heavy" about the re branding, everything that he told me is little by little coming thruth. He anticipated major doctrinal changes starting with birthdays and some where in the very, very distant future tackling the blood issue and the shunning.

  Did you participate in a Drama?

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am bringing this up because even it was a lot of work, for the majority of the friends this was a rewarding experience.

  camaraderie, joking, costumes, props and when the time came the celebrity status of being in the drama.. back in the 50s and 60s, conventions could be as long as 8 days and from about 1966 the dramas became an integral part of the program.

  we had one per day and the brothers looked forward to their presentation.

  Seeing the trailer for the next DC drama, we can see that the WT is going "Hollywood"; nothing like the older ones made with true grit.

  The Law of Unintended Consequences

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body/watchtower unduly influences millions into extreme beliefs and behaviors.

  and i suspect folks like anthony morris thinks his flock is not obedient or strict enough and there are many rules and teachings the governing body would love to enact but do not have the votes, or even they have the sense enough to know it would go too far.

  however, i can’t help how by the time their edicts filter down to the rank and file jw, it causes unintended consequences.

  The people in the knowing, what I will call mature are not buying the divinity of the GB. For the majority of them the DS doctrine was already suspicious and if you kill that one then you are stabbing the new understanding. The personalities of the GB are so weird that they are not likable or persuasive.

  Your feelings for the former travelling overseers

  during our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.

  i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.

  at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

  Many, many friends are seeing the light; as a reality they don't have that much room to be generous, they are barely surviving.

  Some of the ex COs are making sure that the congregations know about their needs and new status, it doesn't seem to be working; the friends are literally "taken for every thing that they have".

  Fidel Castro and the WT

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am going to engage on a trip to the past and share with you some of the matters that marked the beginning of the jws persecution in cuba.

  you will be surprised that the pattern that was followed is very similar to what happened in other dictatorial countries.. in the cuban case, i am going to surprise you and tell you that like what happened with hitler; the wt was partially responsible for their clash and confrontation with the cuban government.

  during the early 60s the revolution was fighting for survival and they were willing and ready to demolish any perceived enemy to their cause.. a prime example was their war against the catholic church that was the most influential religious entity in the country; it took the supreme leader only a few public discourses to send the vast majority of clergy packing and back to their country, in this case spain.. the jehovah’s witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a us based religion and an easy target to connect them with the cia.

  Castro is going to be 90 in August and he is announcing his departure.
