  Pioneer School scare tactics

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just talked with a pioneer who came back from school and she said that at the end there was emphasis put on two things.. 1: stay loyal to the governing body and their teachings.. 2: beware of propaganda.

  they said that in wartime the enemy will use propaganda to break the spirit of or confuse the troops.

  they said the same things is happening now, so reject negative reports about the organization.. this pioneer (who is fully pimi btw and enthusiastic about it) said she asked her cotboe about if we really have that problem here.

  If people are gullible enough to get their information from one source and one source only then what can you expect.

  They will be misled eventually.

  2018 Regional (District) Convention Outlines

  by AverageJoe1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the official program is out but does anyone have access to the actual outlines for the assembly this year in english and/or spanish?.

  maybe the gb are clamping down on their "high-up" leaks within the organisation and the circuit overseers making these available have been kicked or had to no longer leak material for fear of getting themselves discovered by the wt gestapo..

  2. beliefs

  i haven't found religion viable after we left the jws some fifty years ago.. oddly enough i will be conducting a session at the oxford forum which is put on once a week on a sunday by the presbyterian church.

  they invite scholars, professors, artists etc.

  people of interest to expose their congregation to what else is going on in this community.

  It would be very interesting and informative if this could possibly be recorded so that a far greater audience could benefit from your experience .

  I will be conducting a session at the Oxford Forum which is put on once a week on a Sunday by the Presbyterian church. They invite scholars, professors, artists etc. people of interest to expose their congregation to what else is going on in this community.

  Please let us know how this went and as I said if it could be recorded that would be excellent if their are no objections to doing so .

  Good luck and best wishes for a successful meeting /forum.

  Automatic Donations Introduced Online

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was announced a couple of weeks ago on the clam.

  you can now donate to any congregation, the worldwide work, and assemblies online.

  further they have implemented recurring payments "because the hard part about donating is remembering to donate," they actually said that!

  If they d'fed you and start shunning you will they terminate your recurring payments?

  And would they give back all you have donated beforehand ?

  I think it would be no to both questions.

  Jesus Christ—The Greatest Scientist (and Psychologist) who ever lived on earth!

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if we eliminate all the controversial and confusing verses attributed to jesus we will get the crystal clear truth from him because his source was (1) god which can be seen from his habit of early morning talking to god in prayer (mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2) which would not have been for material blessings (mathew 6:8; 16:24), and (2) also observance of people.. 1) jesus who said judgment is based on whether we acted humanely or not (mathew 25:31-46) would not have spoken about god’s people and pagans (which means bulk of the things found in gospel had not been spoken/done by jesus).. 2) another important truth he said was about the real key to our happiness which he said is with each one of us.

  (luke 17:21).

  from his observance of history, he knew there are people from adversities who made great contribution to the world; and there are people from all abundance who lived a life of wastage accomplishing nothing; and there are people who are mixed in varying degree.
