Sounds like this is to get the WT out of all capability if this appointee screws up. I guess they have enough Pedo lawsuits to deal with and they don't/can't handle anymore. Like someone else on here said everything the WT does goes through their legal department, so this is all by design. The CO better have deep pockets if he gets sued.

New Appointments Are Very Fast & All On The CO
by baldeagle inthe week of september 15, 2014 was the congregations cos visit.
the midweek meeting was on tuesday, a very general bland talk was given by the co. in the past we would have had the elders & servants meeting on thursday night, and the other congregation meeting on friday.
as you know the friday meeting is no more.

CO's visit ends with a bombshell!!!
by nowwhat? inat the end of his final talk he said of the gb: they are telling the higher ups , "start getting ready we're not going to be around much longer!
" and we expect the angels to release the four winds any day now!
" my first thought was why are you building a corporate country club then?!

"start getting ready we're not going to be around much longer!"
I would like to know what he means by this comment? Again is saying it is only years, months, weeks, days or hours? Another scare tactic that they can turn around after the fact and say they never made any predictions as to the end. Same cheep fear mongering crap that I have been hearing from them for the last 50 years.

I have known of some not personally but friends of friends that have posted on here. I think because of the cult mentality of the organzation that a lot of too much to lose if they went public with their thoughts.

If you don't believe in God, Jesus, and everything in the Bible, you are willfully ignorant.

I do not think outlawing any cult is the answer but they should have their tax exempt status taken away.

Outside of the bible there is no evidence that a man by the name of Jesus even existed. What you are talking about here is blind faith in something you cannot prove.

New Bethel Facility - Fort Lauderdale Remote Translation Office (RTO)
by daniel-p inhey all, it's been a long time since i've posted anything here.
this may be of interest to some people, or not.
and i'm not sure if this has been announced in the congregations, even, because thankfully i have not attended any meetings in quite some time.

inactive ones going back...
by monis1 ini have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.
about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.
it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.

I am sure like any event or natural disaster, there are those fence sitters that would jump back in. I recall going to a convention or special meeting after 9/11 and some elder that I have known most of my life said to me, "Funny how a couple of planes hitting some buildings makes people come back". I think that was my last time I attended a JW function. So if is motive was to turn me off of the cult he accomplished his objective.

Is this the start of a change of policy regarding individual JWs preparing internet pages.
by joe134cd inthis is a quote of a quote taken from anthoney mathenia:.
" for organizations like the watchtower, absolute control of their message is paramount.
it will not even allow its own adherents to spread their good news online.

You know nothing in that cult is done without the organzations approval. It is only a matter of time it is either taken down or comply to what the mother organzations says.

Is the Watchtower Intentionally Trying to Force People to Leave the Organization?
by kneehighmiah inthe leaks from the new november watchtower are alarming.
they will disturb even longtime jws who haven't surrendered all rational thought.
it's become so cult like its scary.

Aha....So the only way to learn about a religious organization is from that organization itself? So we can safely disregard everything the WTS says about Catholics, Mormons, Jews, etc.? Sweet.
Sir82, this point never came to my mind but the JW's are the first to attack organzations like the Catholics. Again a typical JW cult mind that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
