  What is the current Watchtower "rent charge per publisher" for Kingdom Halls in the USA???

  by Balaamsass2 in

  2. beliefs

  i was following a few threads in reddit from current pimo jws complaining about local announcements regarding halls being short on their per publisher "rent payments".

  third gen and i have been out pomo for a while...so how much is this charge now?

  could this be part of the recent push to get people to "come back" or get re-instated...if it even is online and 15 minutes of service per month?

  What are some of the more exceptional self-authenticating claims made by Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  let's start the ball rolling with two connected claims.. the religion of jehovah’s witnesses is the one true religion.

  all other religions are satanic, including all the churches of christendom..

  Telling People You Used To Be A JW

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since i faded i've told a few people at work about having been raised in this organization but i found that most people don't really get what it is like at all.

  they just focus on not celebrating holidays as if that is the worst thing about growing up jw.

  i didn't explain much because it's too much for most people to handle.

  asking jehovah’s witnesses to interpret specific passages is a great way to demonstrate their interpretive abuse.

  got any clear examples?.

  Don't you just love LITERATURE truths?

  by BoogerMan in

  2. bible

  as jw's we swallowed such concoctions for years - without a single scripture provided as proof!.

  w71 12/15 p. 759 - "apparently, the apostle peter was the chairman of the governing body on the festival day of pentecost of 33 c.e., and the disciple james, the half brother of jesus christ, was the chairman at a later date, according to the account in acts of apostles.

  from this, and from what historical evidence there is available, the chairmanship of the governing body rotated.".

  new german chancellor merz has won the election.

  trump congratulated his victory but the response was not what trump expected.

  merz condemned america, saying that america seemed to be aligning with russia.. he also expressed doubts about nato’s future.. he is now advocating that germany must gain independence from usa.

  ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.

  forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!
