No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!

by BoogerMan in

this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

This is what I've been saying for years that they should do. Just have a box where we can check that states we were a publisher that month. And as others have stated, the number of publishers will go up with people just checking the box.

The whole reporting of time, and pioneering, is a violation of what Jesus said "you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your gifts of mercy may be in secret. Then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you." and "when you make gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full."

They still list the taxpayer of the Watchtower.

Meetings were bad back then.

meetings have always been bad.. if paul had to "command" people to not forsake the gatherings, the meetings must have been really bad.. considering that jesus said in matt 18:20 "for where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there i am in their midst.”".

and then in matt 11:28-30: "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-temperedi and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

Meetings have always been bad.

If Paul had to "command" people to not forsake the gatherings, the meetings must have been really bad.

Considering that Jesus said in Matt 18:20 "For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”"

And then in Matt 11:28-30: "Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild-temperedi and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves. For my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.”

If people needed to be "commanded" to go to the meetings, that means they had forgotten that Jesus was at the meetings, or he wasn't there and his being there was not refreshing to them and his yoke kindly. That seems to be the case today, where Jesus just doesn't seem to be there if they are not refreshing, to where people would want to be there and they are not a light load.

Highlights of DEC. 2023 Watchtower

by was a new boy in

is watchtower nervous about including pictures of current governing body members that may have to be deleted one day?.

6 anointed christians cherish that hope.

one of them, brother (false prophet) frederick franz, said from his heart: “our hope is a sure thing, and it will be fulfilled fully to every last one of the 144,000 members of the little flock to a degree beyond what we have even imagined.”.

The Watchtower writers were not prophets, so they couldn't be false prophets.

Two biggest issues for Watchtower right now

by Teddnzo in

selena accused tony morris of being involved in child abuse and the pimo bethelite who just got kicked out.

let’s see how this rolls out.

Rattigan350

"Anthony Morris’s video buying liquor and Geoffrey Jackson’s testimony in Australia were enough to see that things weren’t going well in the organization.”"

So, this person is a follower of men it would seem.
