we're breaking up the regional convention event by going each of the days to a different weekend session.. the tsongas center lowell ma was a bit hard to find, we got lost and got there after the first song and prayer (just in time for the first talk)!

we ran into so many from our home congregation who aren't even assigned to this rc!.

i think it's quite common for publishers now to break up the convention weekend and attend at times when their congregation isn't assigned.. some families (3) were attending this particular convention so as to meet up with family members who are in another part of the region.

how did you get lost going there? It's right off the boulevard.

If the Governing Body members had to take a 'lie detector test' what questions would you recommend they are asked?

by Esse quam videri in

i think it is reasonable for every leader or head of any organization that has control of peoples thinking and actions should, by law, submit to a lie detector test.

the results would be accessible to any one who had an interest in the matter.this test would be required before appointment to any position and on a yearly basis.

questions could be submitted to a competent and unbiased committee for approval.

Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A

by OneFingerSalute in

so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.

the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.

he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

They've said pretty much that for a while. Basically if you're not working towards being an MS and then an Elder you're a failure of a witness.

Does the GB also do Fieldservice?

by 1tMakesNoSence in

the wt study of may stated that no one is exempt from doing fieldservice.does that mean the gb also does fieldservice?and dont give me any if that "no they only give us insrtuction bullshit" because that would mean not everything applies to everyone, and thats never the case in the jw organisation!

Barrold Bonds

This question gets asked a lot on this board, and yes they all go out in field service. Mostly Saturday morning service so who knows how many hours actually do door to door.

WT September 2015 (Public edition) - We never petition for Money

by Designer Stubble in

page 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.

(2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.

we have not wavered from that policy.

Barrold Bonds

Blondie: I think they just post the accounts report on the bulletin board. I remember in Brooklyn, we had a small donation box in the home and I'd have to count it with the conductor and then hold onto the money and the receipt until the meeting later that week.

That reminds, did anyone know that apparently 'bulletin board' is a bad word for JW's? Something about the catholic church using it.

Raymond Franz and Ted Jaracz

by Hold Me-Thrill Me in

jw
friends

melita jaracz' life story (september 15, 2015 watchtower) said her husband ted jaracz died on wednesday, june 9, 2010. .

this was exactly one week after raymond franz died on wednesday, june 2, 2010. .

jaracz once helped to "kill" franz.

Barrold Bonds

I've heard people say Jaracz was one of the more liberal GB members which is odd because I always thought he came across as kind of an asshole.

Placement of KH

by rebelfighter in

from reading my previous post many of you know i am a worldly person and have been a life long child advocate.

my heart goes out to the jw children and women.

these last 5 months education here and jwfacts, jwstruggles, has been very enlightening.

Barrold Bonds

do you know if there's any pedos in that hall? if not, i'd say you're getting worked up over nothing.
