  What are the Witnesses Afraid Of ?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the witnesses have the truth and have been going to meetings for many years and every week they learn how to be effective in the ministry and learn about the bible on sundays and every week have a family worship night, why are they afraid to talk to anyone who doesn't agree with them or question their beliefs?

  if they have the truth then nothing can refute it.

  the truth is the truth.

  Megjana: I basically felt like I was on a tether.
  

  It's not a tether, it's a leash.

  Splash: Little did they know that they were writing about themselves!

  Wow, good catch.

  In a way, it's even MORE ironic if they're wearing knock-offs: then the GB only appear to be wealthy, but are in fact cheap, imitations of the real thing.

  I like it.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  Shorter meetings for field service

  by hoser in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  march kingdom ministry insert is about how the field service meetings will be shortened from 10 to 15 minutes down to 5 to 7 minutes.

  they want the publishers to report more hours.

  in my experience the problem isn't the length of the meeting for service but pioneers and publishers dogging it after the service arrangement.

  Flipper, next time you do this, when it gets to the point they accuse you or the news release of being "apostate," ask them, "What does that mean?"

  When they tell you, then you can say, "But this can't be 'apostate.' The journalists, attorneys and judges involved were never JWs!"

  Is there a Child Molester on the Governing Body?

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  great report by abc on the abuses in jw-dot-org land.... i hope it opens a "floodgate" of future news reports and exposes.

  if you ask yourself, "why hasn't the watchtower leadership changed their policy on the 2 witness rule?

  if one or more persons on the gb has victims out there that can't come forward because of the 2 witness rule, then that would explain the permanent road block to policy change that is obviously in place.

  WT is trying to scare off memorial partakers

  by cookiemaster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know how many of you still participate in the sunday wt study, but i unfortunately still do.

  even though i was asleep half of the time, i did notice something i thought i should share with the rest, in case you haven't noticed.

  a lot of the paragraphs were worded strongly against partaking and used clear language of intimidation and discouragement toward anyone thinking of partaking.

  All of us non-DF'd "apostates" should show up and partake just to drive them crazy!

  Nah, just kidding!

  Growing number of memorial partakers explained(?) by local elder

  by stillin in

  i brought this up in a conversation after today's meeting.

  the elder knowingly acknowledged the growing number and pointed out that of course, now we understand why this is so.

  i gave my best blank stare and said "we do?

  stillin: does anybody here have a clue what he was talking about?

  Of course not, and neither does that elder.

  He tried to use a nonsensical teaching to explain a discordant fact that flatly contradicts decades of JW "Old Light."
