I'll add this prophecy: Everyone you know is going to die. So are you. Armageddon isn't coming. The GB are a bunch of delusional old fools.

sorry, i messed up before i could put the right title on this new light from our circuit overseer, his visit show's a great desperation in the organization's mindset, adding more anxiety and guilt to jws who already feel they don't measure up!.
hi, i attended the circuit overseers visit and got really angry because our c.o.
gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!

anthony morris is ranting against higher education.
he is blaming parents for enrolling their kids in college.
"At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. (4) Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking. The elders must stand ready to help any who may now be wavering in their faith." - w2013, November 15, p. 20
i was reading on a european ex jw forum where some feel that watchtower's railing against higher education is primarily for north america issue.
this is due that many in usa and canada leave home to leave on campus.
it was mentioned that many young european jw attend universities and its not frowned on.. i found this odd because i heard what morris and losch said about education in italy.
The OP confuses how WT directives are interpreted and applied in different countries that have different cultures with a clear top-down mandate.
Anthony Morris is a representative of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. They assert that they are the leadership of the "visible part" of Jehovah's Organization on earth. They regularly talk about this being an "international brotherhood."
What any GB member says is meant to be a directive for all JWs everywhere. Clearly, some JWs are more literal in obeying the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" than others. But this does not change what the GB intends.
They want everyone to obey them, even if what they say doesn't make any sense.

Satan lives in Universities and colleges and he also wears tight pants while he is there.
You for forgot to mention that is wife wears spanx when she exercises in public and the demons wear brightly colored socks.

TTATTElder: there is no financial transparency at the world headquarters. There is no Accounts Report from New York.
This was one of the first things that got me to begin "waking up" to the scam of this religion.
Every month, each and every congregation gives and open and (supposedly honest) report of their accounts. And yet the World Headquarters NEVER, EVER reports their financial activities.
Why is that?
The answer is obvious: they don't want anyone to know what they are doing.
The inference is equally damning: They are hypocrites of the highest order. They demand complete, unquestioning compliance of their underlings, yet they act as if they are completely above the law. Why? Because they are. They make "the laws" and it is clear from their actions that they do not believe these laws which they make apply to them.

in the past week, i have heard from a number of friends scattered all over the place.
a number of them are very upset over the congregation being required, to send in all monies over $4,000.
a number of these were kh's that were saving to buy land, and or build new kh's.

Question: If YOU were the leader of a fairly significant world religion, would your main message be?
I doubt it. Mine wouldn't, that's for damn sure.
If I ever had the rapt attention of millions of people I'm sure I'd talk about something more important that that shit. I'd wanna' focus on developing important human qualities like: love, compassion, forgiveness and empathy. But that's just me.
Seriously.
This guy is so clueless it's hard to quantify.
Evidently, all of the Governing Body members are delusional fools. If it weren't so sad that millions of people--including my own children (yes, I have a dog in this fight)--follow them, it would be completely laughable.

feb kingdom ministry 2015, irate householders, "we don't apologize for our work", "did they hear rumors about jws"?
why so angry?
blood or disfellowshipping?.
Maybe they're angry because this religion has destroyed their family or caused a death by their incomprehensible blood policy!
i have updated the article at memorial partakers with the figures released for 2014. no surprises here, it has risen yet again, this time by 6% over last year, and is now 14,121.. .
.
If any one posted it on this thread, I missed it.
Who can lay their hands on the WT quote(s) that the declining number of Memorial Partakers is one of the positive proofs that we are in "the Last Days"?
