WE NEED MORE FIELD SERVICE REPORTS (Letter sent to Ecuador)

by elkatire1980 in

this letter was sent to all congregations in ecuador (south america).. the translation into english of the letter:.

to body ofelders.

subject: publisher who did not report field service time in the second semester of service year.. dear brothers:.

avaddohn94

I see a difference with the typical instructions sent every year by this time of the year: The fact that they "have reasons to believe" that the number of publishers was higher and the emphasis put on the instructions to count "twice (or more times)" the publishers that deliver their late field service slips.

Now, if they actually start doing what the letter sent to Poland describes (making lists of inactive ones and sending such data to their respective branches) they might be going too far. Though they would try to mask it as their typical "we intend to provide those people with spiritual help", they would actually be showing their true colors.

Allow me to quote a book entitled "Revisiting Holocaust Representation in the Post-Witness Era" (page 12):

"The Nazis pursued what they called restlose Erfassung, which means a total registering, without loose ends; an expression that connotes also 'all-embracing seizure'. This ambition led to a fanatic policy of counting, making lists and conducting censuses."

If the indoctrinated friends cannot clearly see how similar the Watchtower methods are to those of the Nazis or any other absolutist regime, I don't know if there's any hope for us to rescue them from this shameful organization.

i don't know if they're making similar arrangements in other parts of the world but below you will find the letter (and the translation attempt) they're sending to all the congregations in mexico and central america asking them to modify their september 21 and september 28 service meeting programs.. after watching jackson's gold apple watch and lett's pinky ring one can only assume they are a bunch of brazen, shameless and greedy bastards!.

the letter has already been uploaded at the spanish forum and you can find it if you click here or see the attached picture.. the translation "attempt" is as follows:.

august 1, 2015. to all congregations.

In reply to Gayle:

In Spanish we have a similar forum at extj.com.

As for other sites, many of us have created blogs (which as you know, are not to be relied according to the Study Edition of October 15, 2015) in order to, little by little, spread the word.

Now, although still a developing country, Mexico appears as the 11th place on the list of countries by GDP considering the purchasing power parity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)) and as we know, the Watchtower always "looks before it leaps" (in Spanish we would say "no da un paso sin huarache" or "does not take a step without its sandals on") so...

Regards!

Island Man2 minutes agoIs this service meeting viewing only going to be done in Mexico, or will it be done worldwide. The letter is addressed "to all congregations" and I see no indications from the contents that it is limited to Mexico.

Like I said at first, I'm not aware if this is being done at a worldwide level. Now, the way in which they're asking elders to modify those two weeks of their original Service Meeting arrangements makes me think it could be limited to Mexico.

Now, it is worth noting that only 6 months ago, Robert Luccioni (GB Helper) and the rest of the cast that took part at Mexico's Zone Visit also took advantage of the opportunity to beg for money! (I didn't remember I had shared that situation with the forum as well).

You can read about it here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/170810001/pathetic-manipulation-zone-visit-mexico-branch-central-america

To cut the long story short, they used the following image to accompany an "experience" of an anonymous kid whose savings into a piggy bank were sent "in support of the worldwide work".

Like I said, the "piggy bank" story took place in March 2015, then in May they had the first broadcasting dubbed in Spanish with Stephen Lett groveling for "valuable things" and now this!!!???

I do not wish to bring politics into this but then again, maybe Trump is right when he says he'll build a wall and he'll make Mexico pay for it!

jw
friends

ask them a question can i give return to jehovah brochure to a df person.?

dead silence on other end, then he said uh hold on brother long pause music then ok bro have you discussed this with your local elders answer no.

bro what cong do you attend?

avaddohn94

I remember the last time I had to call the service department. "So much love" as you can imagine!

The guy who picked up the phone asked me to provide all of my contact information before even considering what my need was.

When we finished our discussion, I asked him if he could give me his name and he just said "now brother X, as an elder you should probably know we don't do that". Then I said, "sorry, you don't do what exactly?" He replied "you are not supposed to ask for our names".

I remember I recalled Judges 13:17, 18 and could not stop laughing for a while!

Well, the following three examples of "Kingdom Halls" built in poor suburbs of Mexico City clearly show that they actually know where they can "petition" with few people actually complaining.

It's a sad story but, Sir82's example of little "Rosalita" not having supper (vs. Sofia not having an ice-cream) in order to "put Kingdom interests first", is a cruel and harsh reality that many friends in poor countries are actually going through without even noticing!

Makes me wanna puke!

Not only that @sir82!

Remember Mexico is now in charge of all of Central America (it's called the "Central America Branch").

If you add the levels of poverty in various states within Mexico (mainly the southern states) to the extreme poverty of countries like Honduras or Guatemala, you can guess how brazen these bastards really are!

TO ALL CONGREGATIONS

Subject: Needs at the Service Meeting

Dear brothers:

In the letter dated April 10, 2015, we were informed of an uplifting spiritual gift that would begin in May in the Spanish Language: JW Broadcasting.

In view of the great effect that the May program had at a worldwide level, and the practical reminders that were discussed therein, we have deemed appropriate for you to watch that part of the program again during the Service Meeting.

There will be two presentations of 20 minutes each. The two weeks scheduled for this purpose are the ones of September 21 and 28, 2015. We are confident that each member of the congregation will benefit from remembering how important it is to continue honoring Jehovah with our valuable things (Ps. 119:111).

We take this opportunity to remind you that you can watch the monthly programs of JW Broadcasting at the Kingdom Hall when there are no meetings scheduled or at homes with other members of the congregation for the benefit of those who do not have Internet.

We are pleased to work together in furtherance of Kingdom interests.

Your brothers,

Cc. circuit overseer

P.S. to the coordinator of the body of elders: this letter must be read to the congregation at the Service Meeting of the week of September 7, 2015. The program will be presented in two parts of about 20 minutes each and must be scheduled as follows:

WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 21

22 min. "Honor Jehovah with your valuable things' (Part One). Play the first 22 minutes of the video "JW Broadcasting: May 2015". (You can find it in tv.jw.org in the section VIDEO> FROM OUR STUDIO> MONTHLY PROGRAMS> JW Broadcasting: May 2015)

8 min. "Imitate Their Faith." Questions and Answers.

WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 28

20 min. "Honor Jehovah with your valuable things' (Part Two). Play the next 20 minutes of the video "JW Broadcasting: May 2015". (You can find it in tv.jw.org in the section VIDEO> FROM OUR STUDIO> MONTHLY PROGRAMS> JW Broadcasting: May 2015)

10 min. “Teaching With the Good News Brochure.” Questions and answers. After considering paragraph 3, have a well prepared demonstration showing a publisher offering the Good News brochure and discussing one paragraph.

If you compare the NEW program against the one that had originally been scheduled for those two Service Meetings, you can clearly see there are priorities for the Watchtower Corporation and they have nothing to do with the spiritual wellfare of their indoctrinated worshippers (in a region where POVERTY and EXTREME POVERTY reach very significant levels).

Unfortunately, most of the friends won't clearly see what we are now able to see.

Best regards,

To the Royal Commission: A JW's thank you note... from Mexico!

by avaddohn94 in

jw
friends

note: i sent this e-mail to their contact mail address and now, i wish to make it public for it truly expresses my current thoughts!.

a jw's thank you note... from mexico!.

first of all, let me tell you i am still one of jehovah's witnesses.

avaddohn94

Note: I sent this e-mail to their contact mail address and now, I wish to make it public for it truly expresses my current thoughts!

A JW's thank you note... from Mexico!

First of all, let me tell you I am still one of Jehovah's Witnesses. With my [family], we're currently going through the "fading" process that was so accurately described throughout your public hearing (our families and friends are all within this church as you can probably imagine).

We're convinced this religion in which our parents raised us, is a "captive organization" as Mr. Stewart accurately described it.

Now, we are aware the scope of your investigation is aimed at this terrible child abuse issue; nevertheless, we wish to say THANK YOU for addressing many of the issues that Jehovah's Witnesses are forced to deal with.

During the hours you have devoted to analyzing, studying and exposing this organization, many of us have felt as if finally someone has been able to speak our minds and hearts!

Now, some former JWs and some who are still within might have their own agendas on what they think should've been remarked or pointed out to the various people who appeared before you during the past weeks; I actually wish to apologize in the name of those who might be saying they're displeased or disappointed (specifically with yesterday's hearing).

In my opinion, you did SUPERB but you have to understand that when you have been so affected by the rules and laws set forth by these types of religions, some people are eagerly waiting for a "safety valve", some sort of outlet for their emotions.

And well, I do not wish this e-mail to become my own "safety valve". I hope my latin origin and the fact that English is not my first language might excuse this rather long "thank you note"!

Please express my gratitude to Justice McClellan, Mr. Angus Stewart and the rest of the counselors and researchers who did such a great work on this case study 29.

We'll be looking forward to the outcome and hope that the light you have ignited in Australia will spread through all this organization so that those who decide to remain may at least have much better prospects!

Best regards!

"You Became So Beloved to Us"

Great job! Thanks Pixel and Wifibandit for confirming the fact that Circuit Overseers are going downhill!

This is the only way they can try to stop their fall in value; through their pathetic videos.

Seems to me they've been coached by Pinky and the Brain. Remember that episode where Brain plans to broadcast "the saddest tearjerker ever" in order to leave the planet in such depression, that they are all left vulnerable in their hands?

Well, that's exactly what they're doing at the conventions and now, apparently they'll be using this same method to keep the publishers in line. I'm recalling Pinky actually says regarding "emotional movies" that "no one can resist a terrifically manipulative contrivance with swelling music".
