  Motivations for Watchtower leadership

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’ve struggled for some time with this question.

  why would the elders, cos, branch committee, helpers to gb and the gb themselves devote their lives to progressing in the organization, if the whole thing is one big sham?

  i have 3 ideas so far.. 1) money.

  Personal story of bethel, sexual abuse and child baptism

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  2. experiences

  born into a strong jw family in the early 80s.

  my father died when i was 4 and that left a huge emotional scar on my tender mind.

  with my mother, i went to live with family members and was sexually abused between 4 and 10. he was an ms but when elders later found out, all that happened was he got his privileges removed.

  hey guys, i've been pimo going on full inactive for a very long time, 5+ years.

  Did you ever thought this?

  by Theonlyoneleft in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so.. you are a jw or studying, living your life and doing your bit, feverish of spreading the good news to everyone that will listen!.

  you prep yourself for meetings, doing your ministry and applying all that there is into your daily life.. so....i have a question... you know... my clogs.

  when you where completely in the religion, did you ever think about the impact of your way of life and religion towards others, specially those that lived around you such as good friends or family members that didn’t studied?

  A technical clarification re "New Scientist"

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following is not a criticism of the wts.

  i am providing this for technical clarification and my expectation for accuracy.. endnotes 43 and 45 on page 27 of the wts’s brochure, “the origin of life” refer to the new scientist periodical of 30 may 2009.. the text in the wts’s brochure does not match the text of the new scientist’s online article.

  further investigation shows that the online text does not accurately replicate the text that appeared in print in the physical magazine.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  both the june and july broadcasts featured sections about serving where the need is greater.

  as i recall, my wife watches them as i hover in the background, india and thailand have both been heavily featured.

  next, i hear some friends talking about how they are thinking of moving to india.
