  Why is it ok for witnesses to go to Church backed hospitals?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  if witnesses should "get out of babylon the great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from churches?.

  isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?.

  Is the 'growth™' still being hyped?

  by punkofnice in

  when i was a member of watchtower corporation, i regularly heard how it must be the true religion because of the growth™.

  (phenomenal, apparently).. i wonder if they still hang onto this?

  has it been boasted about at meetings recently?

  No evidence of any growth lately, same ol dubs with a few new ones show up, but they never come back, guess they got my TTATT on their web search...

  Simple, yet very effective way, for ALL to spread the TTATT to current JW family and friends, possible GAME CHANGER.

  i am sure this has probably been thought about, and maybe others have mentioned it already.

  in fact, i cant even take credit for this brilliant idea.

  it is a "tactic" that my father uses, to great effect, and he is a current jw.. as we all know, there is a wealth of info on the internet, and many other sources, that clearly exposes the many lies of the wts.

  Change your name on your iPhone to "TTATT-googleitnow" so when others search for a network at the assmemby or meeting they will see yours and maybe get curious and google it.

  A Brief History of MONEY and the Watchtower religion

  watch tower corp has changed a long-standing policy in regard to donations which had been in place a long, long time.

  to appreciate how drastic these changes have been, you'd have to know how it was from the beginning.. .

  If only Russell had his hands on today,s technology of placing Credit Card readers at all entrances of Assmebly,s. Imagine all the data that is gleaned from those bank robbing devices. Any one been to a protestant church lately and seen a card reader? Or maybe they are ahead of the WTS with iPhone square...

  I like to visit the Catholic Thrift shop. It is larger than goodwill, with a lot more selection and you won't find any true JW,s there.

  my spies seem a bit confused.

  here, in this neck of the woods 3 congregations had 3 separate sittings.

  the attendance seemed to be swelling.

  someone posted a new photo of their congregation this week. With all publishers at the front, I just happen to have a photo taken maybe 12 years ago and it was the same exact people maybe missing just a few, no growth at all in 12 years.

  Kingdom Hall Built on Site of Former Slave Market

  in mississippi, there is a historical site called forks of the road.

  before the civil war, it was one of the most active slave trading markets in the south.

  it was a triangular piece of land formed by ... you guessed it ... a fork in the road.

  They really look after their older ones

  by 20yearfader in

  1. social
  2. family

  my aunt was a very attractive woman and it's hard sitting back and watching time rob her of her beauty and memories,but time has nothing on her so called christian brothers and sisters.her husband died about 10 years ago and she started dating an elder that claimed he always loved her since they were kids in the organization.he looks like that thing that was running around in the lord of the rings but what can you do?the courtship lasted 8 years, a couple of times i would stop by to see her and he would be over there in the late evenings with all lights in the house off,which i thought was odd but these people are in their early 60s and i haven't been to a hall in years so it was none of my concern.even if i was still in i wouldn't have said anything anyway.. growing up my aunt was always known in the family as being the air head.so it didn't surprise me when i learned that a couple of years ago the brother married another woman that was 10 years his junior,because you see even if you look like gollum in the hall brothers still have their pick of the litter so to speak.i think that whatever was holding her together snapped at this point,she started wandering around the neighborhood at night showing up at meetings with her make-up all over her face and her clothes backwards or inside out,then she started forgetting things and babbling about things that made no sense,a couple of times i found her wandering and i would pick her up and get her something to eat cause she would forget to eat a lot of times.. around this time pictures starting getting around the congregations with her looking a mess in her clothes and make-up.one of my other aunts stumbled upon the photos and she was one of the ones that alerted the rest of the family about her condition along with me (my word carries very little weight since i don't attend the hall) anyway we got her to a doctor and it was found that she has alzheimer's and it was time to settle her affairs as such.

  last week as i was moving out her furniture and other items since her house is going to be sold my cousin tells me that the bank employees that my aunt used knew her elder friend very well and that her always came with her to the bank to withdrawl money.they wouldn't tell her how much was withdrawn but they nodded their heads when she said was it thousands of dollars?.

  hearing this i get pissed to the highest level of pisstivity if there is such a thing.i tell my mom since she is so buddy buddy with the guy and she goes ballistic he is a servant of jehovah how dare you,there isn't any proof and innocent until proven guilty it was only until i told her that she better pray that i remain calm and not give into the anger that i feel and take a little trip to her congregation and pull him from the stage and beat the shit out of him that got her to shut up.only in a cult like this can you defend and she blamed her sister for the whole incident,my aunt was child like when he was making those trips with her to the bank cause at this point she doesn't even know who she is so he had to have seen the evidence of her condition long before we did.. i really hate this religion i've been gone for over 25 years and it still has a way of getting at you thanks for letting me vent.

  There are laws in place just for this, SOMEONE taking a senior to the cleaners, so to speak. Call an attorney immediately to see what can be done. There are forensic accountants that can trace most all the money spent or stolen.

  i just got the news from our former congregation in hollister, ca regarding a tragic event following the 'memorial' wednesday night.

  we shared the kh with 2 spanish congos.. a couple from the spanish congregation were leaving the kh so that the next spanish congo could have their 'memorial'.

  they exited the parking lot in their car when hit by an oncoming car right in front of the kh.

  How much of the Society's publications just get stored away in the garage?

  by donny in

  almost a year ago i moved back to the dallas - fort worth area after spending 16 years in the northern california area.

  the area i live in has several nearby parks and walkways and these areas have several "share a book" pods mounted on a pole spaced about 1/2 mile from one another.

  people are encouraged to add books they no longer use to these pods and to take one if they are interested.. i have been diligent on removing watchtower publications from them and what has surprised me is how many old publications in pristine condition are added almost on a daily basis.
