by John Aquila in

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

Booklet exposing Trinity Brochure

by Pubsinger in

there was a booklet that exposed the errors, deceptions and misquotes in the trinity brochure.

i think it was called something like "why should you believe 'should you believe the trinity'" or something like that lol.

it went through the society's brochure page by page, quote by quote and gave full sources etc.. does anyone know if it's still available, preferably an online copy?.

I found this on his website.

WBTS / JW views never quoted as good source of information

by menrov in

not sure if my title is correct.

what i noticed is that in say secular bible research documentation, books, lectures etc, one never (or at least i have never read it) reads a quote from one of the former or current wbts leaders nor do i ever see a reference to one of their publication (unless it is article about the jw/wbts itself).. for example, if you read a book on a bible theme or topic written by a scholar or other bible teachers/professors from prof xyz, you will find often in these books a reference to publications / statements / quotes from other scholars or professors.

but never have i seen a reference to say a wt publication or quote / statement from one the leaders of the organisation.. so, despite the million page printed or conferences organised by the wbts, the material apparently is never considered of value to others or to use as reference material.. in my view, that says a lot..... or am i wrong?

Why do they have some awards at the Brooklyn headquarters? I suspect those awards are either fake or of no real importance... but the person giving us the tour said 'the GB wants to compete with other publishing entities and give weight to there material" basically if they are able to get some recognition it is easier for them to promote their blood doctrine, get legal recognition, etc...

Anyone knows what I'm talking about?

If Jesus or his apostles had uttered the Tetra., don't you think it would have caused a tremendous accusation by the Pharisees who were looking for any pretense whatsoever with which to accuse them?

Now the new Pharisees a.k.a Jdubs, claim true Christians must use the divine name, oh the irony...

Introducing myself

by maksutov in

my name is russ, i'm 40 years old, from the uk, and i left the jws nearly 5 years ago.

i've been a member of the yuku board throughout that time, so there are probably some on here who know me already.

there seems to be more activity over here at the moment, so i thought i'd pop in and say hi.i was raised as a jw, started questioning it when i was 16, but there was no internet back then (well, no www anyway) so i got sucked right in and got baptized when i was 18. auxiliary pioneered on and off for a couple of years, then became a ministerial servant.

Welcome and great book btw!

After years of leaked info, the GB has finally decided to publish their own Shepherding textbook in EPUB format.

Dear Brothers:

We are pleased to inform you that the Shepherding textbook is now available in EPUB,

MOBI, and PDF format. In due course, it will also be made available in selected sign languages

and in screen reader and notetaker format for use by blind or visually impaired brothers. You

may access it in the “Forms” section of jw.org. The digital textbook contains the marginal notes

and adjustments that elders have been directed to make in their bound copies of the textbook. If

an elder is deleted for reasons other than moving to another congregation with a favorable recommendation,

he should delete any electronic copies of the textbook in his possession.

In view of the foregoing, each elder should insert the following near the box on the title

page of his bound copy of the Shepherding textbook: “See letter dated March 16, 2015, to all

bodies of elders regarding digital formats of this textbook.”

We are confident that this will prove useful to you in shepherding “the flock of God under

your care.” (1 Pet. 5:2) Please accept an expression of our warm Christian love.
