the current jws do not cease to amaze.
here's their latest video on youtube and straight from bethel.. there is a lot of work involved in this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwou6e5vwbo .
I wonder if they secured a sync license from Sony Music for use of this.
I supposed most of us wouldn't be so bothered by something like this if it weren't for the fact that this kind of thing was strictly forbidden for so long. Also, we here know how desperately UNHAPPY many JWs and ex-JWs are as a result of WT policies like shunning, blood-transfusions and pedophiles.
This religion is just getting weirder by the minute.
This is why I no longer associate with active JWs, their blind conformity erodes my thinking and my convictions!
(Not really, it just felt good to say that).
i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.
i have no real friends!.
i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.
Stuck, So now at 40 I have to start from scratch!
Maybe, but the good news is that any friends you make from here on out will be people that love you for WHO you are, not WHAT you (pretend to) believe.
*** km 9/74 p. 8 question box ***as jehovahs servants we.....................do not want to give others the impression that the tetragrammaton is the symbol of jehovahs witnesses as a whole.
we have no organizational symbol to identify ourselves but show that we are jehovahs christian witnesses by living in harmony with gods will.john 13:35.. don't you just love those "old" lights?.
Glitchy, That's an interesting Facebook thread.
It's very notable that the majority of posters cannot compose a coherent sentence that isn't also filled with multiple spelling errors. So much for "Divine Education!"
just asking those who still attend or keep up with the latest magazines.
there was a wt study not too long ago that insisted on studying every pact that god made in the past, but adding the spin of calling them "legal contracts".
this week's book study concentrated on the same thing.
Blondie, Your public baptism is the legal agreement per the WTS.
As far as I'm concerned, the WTBTS breached their contract with me.
The agreement is null and void. If anything, they owe me, big time. Not that I'm ever going to be able to get them to acknowledge it, let alone collect anything.
Let's review: It's a cult!
if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.
its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.
there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".
TE, It wouldn't surprise me if it started getting incorporated into the meetings.
It's only a matter of time ...
i thought we needed carpenters and plumbers in paradise...oh well... the hypocrisy.
to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territoryre: experienced attorneys and paralegals needed at bethel.
dear brothers:.
BOC: In my decades of being a witness, I only met one witness attorney, and it was someone already working at bethel as an attorney.
In my decades of being a witness, I also only met one JW attorney. That guy was a complete idiot. I wouldn't hire him to open my junk mail.
who thought in the early months of 2012 that such a rebranding would take place in only a matter of 24 months?.
they managed to go from an antique looking and boring website (watchtower.org) with hardly any attractive content to go to a fresh looking new website with stuff for everyone, families, children, teenagers.. movies, and short videos about almost everything and new ones added every month.
cartoons, animation video's , interviews, picture activities all kind of projects, many audio files like dramatic bible readings, dramas and music, online research tools, new brochures for kids (off and online) etc.
IKH: i see no other international religion that takes care so well of their members
Right, that's why the WT leadership sends all the old Bethelites out to pasture in their golden years--no pension, no medical insurance, and no SSI because they never paid into the system during their productive working years--while the fatkat GB members live like kings.
What hypocrites.
IKH, I hope you're trying to write satire. If not, you're a gullible idiot.

insidetheKH: They are ten steps ahead
Ahead of what? Where they used to be? That's about it.
Every other religion has been doing these things for years. The WTBTS is miles behind and just catching up.
