  frank, donations are also getting lower because of a BAD ECONOMY. JW's are losing their jobs and homes just like everyone else. (Ecc. 9:11)

  no paycheck = no donation

  Does the Watchtower still make a big thing about the cry of "Peace & Security"?

  by cantleave in

  2. bible

  it was a big thing in 70's and 80's, but seemed to have died down during the 90's up until the time i left.

  i was wondering with the arab spring and increased unrest in the middle east, whether the brothers are speculating about this again?.

  The cry of 'peace and security' is important because it is a major prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled.

  "Whenever it is that they are saying: "Peace and security!" then SUDDEN destruction is to be INSTANTLY upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will BY NO MEANS ESCAPE." (1 Thess. 5:3)

  Jehovah's Witnesses dismayed by new magazine format from Watchtower Society.

  by Balaamsass in

  wow.

  i was surprised this week by calls from active jws complaining about the new magazine format, and more begging for money from the platform.. frankly i was surprized by this reaction since this is old news to jwn members.

  i guess actually shuffling to the bookroom and grabbing the new "awake tracts" minus the inside cover forward ...awakened many sleepy, catatonic, bored jws who never read the things or go on the internet anyway.. any feedback from other areas?.

  Have You Changed Since Getting On To This Site?

  2. friends

  are you the same poster/person now?

  i have seen many posters mature here.

  some still act like jws but others have shown recovery and progress from the witness mentality..

  I didn't come here to change.

  I came to get the latest 'scoop' on the JW's :-)

  What would Jesus do?

  by Christ Alone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's not get into an argument over if jesus was historical or not.. i'd just like to know how you think the jesus of the 4 gospels would act and do things in our modern world.

  who would he talk to?

  what sorts of miracles would he perform?

  Since his main activity was preaching and teaching, I think he'd be pioneering with JW's :-)

  any congregation secretary or former.

  if a person does not report for the month and is zero hours is this zero included when the average is calculated?.

  Lying on a field service report is stupid. Do you think you're fooling Jehovah? Think again. Think Ananias and Sapphira. (Acts 5:1-10)

  "But as for...the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This means the second death." (Rev 21:8)

  Contributions For Local KH VS. World Wide Work

  by turtleturtle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  seriously, if i am going to stay a jw for now, is there anything wrong with donating all for local kindom hall purposes, and simply not donate to the world wide work (wt)?

  i mean, won't the local money just go to the kingdom hall expenses (among some other expenses)?

  i'm telling you right now, the wt ain't getting my $ until things change!.

  wisdomfrombelow, Ananias and Sapphira are really BAD examples to follow. They were both struck dead by Jehovah.

  DATA, I love the FDS, but they don't run my life.

  I have a "gentlemen's agreement" with Jehovah that takes priority over the GB: I do the best I can for Him, and He does the best He can for me.

  I lurk on a couple of 'mixed' religious forums to keep up with worldwide JW info, but I research any info that I post to make sure it's accurate.
