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?.
" i remember the first district assembly where the lunch break was nearly 2 hours, in total there was only like 3.5 hours of talks for the whole day"
Don't understand that - as the latest DA here had a lunch break of 1:20 and a total of 5:30 hours of talk ............
I guess you missed something, Big Large Mama, because the service year runs from October thru September.
so, there is a bit of a fight going on in our hall between our pioneer sisters and our magazine servant.
since the new magazines are boxed with two issues together, there is a bit of work to be done separating them.
our magazine servant stacked them on the counter as usual, right out of the box.
In fact a letter HAS been read, telling that they are stacked two and two and have to be separated, and that orders for issues in foreign languages have to be made in 2's; a congregation cannot order 3 of a certain language because of the printing method, but 2 or 4.
The couple of youngsters handling the counter do it here, and the smaller children are happy to help, making a competition out of it.
the magazine sabado (saturday) launched yesterday (11/22/2012) an issue where the unknown world of jehovah's witnesses .
is revealed, and not for the bestreasons.
from the false prophecies, doctrinal inconsistencies, pedophilia and absurd prohibitions .
Oh yeah? Really?
I have also burned various things in trash cans - guess I'll pop up at the front page of some magazine.
Must marry without ever having kissed - guess I'll have to make sure the whole congregation is df'ed, then ............
hi guys, i am known to some on here and to prevent further problems from the trolls that may identify my son from what i am disclosing i have a different name.
so, my 26 year old son gets the diagnosis ocular melanoma back on june 14th this year with a very bleak outlook.
i walked away from the cult some years ago, however my son stayed in as he was engaged to an uber witness girl.
"if he in any way contacts either his mother or myself for any help they will not only sling him out, he will also not be allowed to see his wife or child again. "
Quite simply not true.
according to the jehovah's witness book called insight vol.
"authenticity.
some critics question the authenticity of daniel, assuming the position taken by a third-century heathen philosopher and enemy of christianity, porphyry, who contended that the book of daniel was forged by a palestinian jew of the time of antiochus epiphanes.
The, jwfacts, with all due respect, you must have been sleeping thru many meetings and actively have NOTread many articles and books, since the topic of not-inspired books such as additions to both the OT and NT have been covered various times. The Vulgate and Luther additions have been commented on, so QUITE as uninformed as you claim the JWs to be in this respect, they are not - or better, ought not be.
hi raymond, do you have any further info/copy of the anouncement asking for money?.
thanks..

A bit interesting, that 3 of the quotes were from Russel's era, 3 from Rutherford's, then there were 8 quotes from 1941 thru 1980, and only 2 are taken from the 32 years since 1980. So it seems you have to dig really deep into the history to find them quotes, and that lately not much has been said ..............

when does jesus appoint the slave over all his belongings?.
in those verses, jesus is referring to his coming as judge during the great tribulation.matthew 24:30; 25:31, 32.. jesus appointment of the slave over his belongings, then, must also be a future event.
The ransom directly for the GC as well and not sort of "thru" the 144,000.
Being inside the Temple.
Perhaps partaking of the emblems.
Long list of possibilities, and they pointed to next year's annual meeting as important.
For my part, I find the change as to FDS very satisfying, as it has done away with a series of inconsistencies. More and more things are pushed into the future. Mainstreaming. But I liked it.
The one telling he loved the new light - really had a big mouth ............... literally.
