  Talked to Phone Witnessing JWs

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i usually can't hear someone knocking on the door of our enclosed porch, so i haven't spoken to a jw in person in the ten years that we've been at this house.

  and being that the temperatures are currently very cold in northeast ohio, i suppose the jws are doing telephone witnessing.

  so, today i had the opportunity to talk to two real live jws.

  am i understanding this correctly?

  you can do the 30 hour package either 2 or 3 times per year, depending on when the circuit overseer visits.

  here is the way i get the new rules:.

  Google results

  2. bible

  every now and then i check statistics for my 607-related articles.

  recently, someone has searched for "vat 4956 watchtower", so i went to google to see where my site comes up in the page ranking.. the first entry in the search results is a reference to the watchtower online library, with a reference to their 2011 attempt at defending their doctrine.. and immediately below it is a link to my rebuttal of the same article.

  some other actual google searches people have made to get to my site where my pages are in the first page of google's results:.

  to look for 144,000 congregations of jehovah's people as there are now almost 112,000 congregations?

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.

  doorbell rings.

  now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.

  Who is it really disciplining????

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wts sanctions the practice of shunning or disfellowshipping of unrepentant wrongdoers.

  this practice cuts the person off from not only the congregation members, but also their still believing family.

  the wts backs up their action by threatening the members (congregation and family) with being df'ed themselves if they choose to associate with the df'ed person.. the claim in part is that its an act of loving discipline that may move the wrongdoer to repentance and to return to the congregation and thus to jehovah.

  JEHOVAH NEEDS YOUR MONEY FOR 2014!!!!!!!!

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone else recieved the letter from the gb about international conventions in 2014?

  according to the letter the missionarys/order of full time servants desperately need to get to the conventions in their homeland.

  so to accomplish this, jehovah needs 15 cents per publisher, per congregation for some months ( sorry i can't remember the exact length of time ).

  QR codes: a way to stop APOSTATES !!!

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  interesting meeting today.the do had the last talk and he mentioned a couple of things i have not heard before :.

  1) the new lighter magazines are designed in a way to attract people to our website .

  2)the ministry will change to incoprorate preacing in town centres and and with stands as in manhattan and certain brothers will be allocated to do this .so it is done now in a big scale ,organised.. 3)the qr codes at the back of the magazines are there for smart phone users to guide them directly to jw.org ,unlike bad old internet via laptops and pc's that you have to look for the website on google and sometimes end up in enemy websites that look like our website but are spreading lies about jw's (he said exactly that!

  Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

  one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

  if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
