  China does nothing green? They are world leaders in green technologies driven by the fact that they are being hit hard from air pollution.

  is the sunday special talk prior to the memorial just an introduction of a new outline for the sunday public talks?.

  is it an attempt to get the faders back to the meetings?

  they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..

  that no one on the earth gets to see God and Christ. They're such liars.

  But it is true. No one on earth gets to see God and Christ. If you see it differently, it does not make you a liar but someone who believes differently.

  What "message" does the J.W Org. have to offer that will attract new members ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the message they have been pushing for 150 years or so is "the end is near !"..

  in the educated, civilised world, people think " yea ?

  maybe because of economic meltdown exacerbated by climate change, but not from some intervention by a non-existent god".. "would you like a free bible study ?

  They are a real estate company now, but to keep the system going they need a base of volunteers.

  I expect them to open a new specific date to have some short-term momentum and would assume 2034, 120 years from 1914.

  Especially, in times of crisis, people are vulnerable for conspiracies and strange cults. We see it all around, also in the western world.

  Analysis of the Property Ownership Model of Jehovah’s Witnesses

  analysis of the property ownership model of jehovah’s witnesses.

  jehovah’s witnesses have developed a structured and financially efficient model for acquiring, building, and managing properties worldwide.

  their approach maximizes resources contributed by members while ensuring that ownership and financial control remain centralized within the organization.

  I heard that McDonald's is not making their main profit from burgers and fries but from real estate. It seems the Watchtower has copied their business model. As far as I know they also charge license fees from the branch offices to transfer money.

  New World, New World Order, New System of Things

  by blondie in

  the wts has used to above terms, over the years, some more preferred in certain time periods.

  more though, but these occurred to me first.

  also the terms "new world" and "new world order" have been used by some us presidents and other leaders..

  The song „Forward, You Witnesses“ contains the chorus:

  „Then, forward, you Witnesses, ever strong of heart!

  Rejoice that in God’s work you too may have a part!

  Go tell far and wide God’s new order is near,

  That e’er long its rich blessings will be here!“

  In the German version the last line reads (translated):

  „ Soon comes blessing through the new order.“

  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.

  I used to tell people I was raised in this cult as fourth generation and left when I felt that it is just a bucket of bullshit with too high a price for me and my family. Usually, they show some respect for that. But I have stopped telling people.

  jehovah’s witnesses have an official page for clarified beliefs they encourage elders, ministerial servants, regular pioneers, as well as all the rest of the elite, to keep up to date with:.

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200277174.

  2025 has a curious clarification:.

  It seems to be automatically translated to German. Wording and form of adress is not coherent with standard JW style.
