  Is it wrong to mock and ridicule the Watchtower Society?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  robert j ingersoll on the great voltaire:.

  "it has been claimed by the christian critics that voltaire was irreverent; that he examined sacred things without solemnity; that he refused to remove his shoes in the presence of the burning bush; that he smiled at the geology of moses, the astronomical ideas of joshua, and that the biography of jonah filled him with laughter.

  they say that these stories, these sacred impossibilities, these inspired falsehoods, should be read and studied with a believing mind in humbleness of spirit; that they should be examined prayerfully, asking god at the same time to give us strength to triumph over the conclusions of our reason.

  And let's be honest... for those of us who are mockers by nature, how can you not mock, when there is so much material to work with?

  Heads Up: If you are an older JW, WT has no further use for you!

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt is retiring district overseers, has sent older jws serving at bethel packing despite years of faithful service, and as of june 1, 2014, has announced that any elder that has reached 80 years of age is no longer valued or wanted as a cobe.

  in wt land it would appear that older people have little or no value, and wt sees no reason to use them in any meaningful capacity.

  i wonder how this makes older ones feel after devoting their lives to wt's interests while shelving their own hopes and dreams?.

  OMG the Watchtower IS toast!

  the waters are drying up!

  a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.

  that's less than $2 a publisher!

  Big mole on his lip. We used to call him Fruggins. He moved over to Cottonwood, had an affair with a hot sister, her husband found out and who was not a JW, tried to stab him.

  Hi Everyone,

  First I would like to calm everyone's questions and fears. Maybe the reason DucatiJoe didn't respond to post for a day or 2, was because he now has his dream job and travels all over the world.

  After 2 conversations with Joe on the phone and hours of reminiscing about all the drama in our 2 congregations. Yes, this is the same guy we've known since the early 80's.

  He is ok guys.... and he has no interest in 'OUTTING" anyone. But if he ever decides to start talking and exposing WT & The elders in Prescott, look out they would be done!

  Joe felt so bad that everyone thought he was a spy that he tried to get his post deleted, but couldn't.

  So now, let's welcome him please.

  WELCOME JOE!!! Love you too brother!

  Kim

  Prescott is my hometown. I then moved to Cottonwood in 1979. I know several of the long-time families & elders from that entire area. It doesn't matter if I give out info about who or what I know, what are they going to do DF me?

  LOL!

  WELCOME DucatiJoe.

  Let me guess, you got tired of Elder Burnside's BS?

  NATIONAL ASSEMBLY HALL SCANDAL

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  towards the end of last year, the witnesses in scotland had their own assembly hall opened in the town of livingston, near edinburgh the capital.. this was achieved no doubt by blood, sweat, and tears by many over a very long period - as well as by donations of witnesses from all over scotland and its islands, not forgetting the levy per publisher imposed on all the congregations in the guise of "donations"!.

  was the org grateful for the sacrifices which were made to bring a great "shout of praise" to whoever?

  nope!
