  Will the WT get a twitter account?

  by bohm in

  with the recent success of the website which really seem to be working beyond at least my expectations, will the wt get a twitter account in the near(ish) future?.

  those who guess right win the bragging rights.

  my guess is no since twitter invite to much discussion, however they will eventually jump on a popular twitter-like social media service when one arise that is more easily controlled..

  Go Bag

  my still-in wife has asked we prepare a "go-bag" with all the stuff we need in case of a natural disaster....we live in a country where there is none!.

  but when i asked where this all came from she mentioned hurricanes etc but again we live in an area where they can never be things like this.. thus i suspect this is a society based instruction...can anyone enlighten me?.

  are the society advising dubs to be doom preppers???

  Interestingly enough, Bethelites were encouraged to have go-bags even BEFORE Katrina. That definitely sparked speculation that 'the end was close' if bethel was preparing for when shit hit the fan.

  I just got back from an international convention and man, people put the JW.ORG symbol and text on EVERYTHING. Pins, sunglasses, umbrellas, book bags, EVERYTHING. It's like someone went hog wild on Cafe Press. It's sickening. It's like that scene in Spaceballs when Yogurt shows off the merchandise booth he runs.

  Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.

  however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.

  in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

  I think it can go either way. I know some JW's who employed other JWs with no problems. I know some who have nothing but problems. I know some non-JW employers who don't hire JW's. I know of places that love to hire JW's. In my old congregation a medium sized business loved to hire JWs. Many worked there for years and I guess it worked out for everyone.

  i'm thinking of scaning a letter to the boe and useing the letter head to make some fake letters and sending them to alot of congros.. it would read something like this.. "dear brothers we are writing to inform you about all the child abuse casers the wts is now in court about and the ones we have quietly settled outside the courts".

  ill name them all and give them links to the courts.. .

  They don't get letters by snail mail anymore. It's all handled through the elder portal on the JW.org site. Not a very well thought out plan.
