David’s son Solomon built a house, or temple, for God’s glory. (1 Ki. 9:3) After that temple was destroyed in 607 B.C.E., the Jews arranged to meet in buildings called synagogues to worship God.

2015. Annual meeting

by obarac in

any news?

Oubliette

Gotta love the sample meeting video. The leaders of this cult really don't think much of their followers, do they?

That they made a video that is 1 hour, 11 minutes and 39 seconds in length just to show how such a meeting should be conducted is evidence that they think the average JW is not too bright and can't follow simple directions.

Seriously, let's review: It's a cult!

Has anyone thought of the spin that the "society" will put on bethel layoffs?

by Lied2NoMore in

first, how about a joke?.

what do you call someone who just turned apostate?.

im thinking sometime in the future the society will put a spin on what is happening similar to what has been done in the past.. they will say apostasy once again reared its ugly head in the organization and layoffs was the only way to "cleanse" the organization.. once disgruntled ones begin to use their voice, they will be forced to strike back with some spin to make all those who have the guts to complain look like they were the problem.. good theory huh?.

just ask yourself about the fundamentals - does God exist? Does he care? Is he going to do something?"

Maybe, maybe and maybe.

But even if you answer "yes" to all of these questions, they ignore the real question: Is this religion representing that God?

Churches in Australia could lose millions in tax breaks under radical national faith register plan

by sherrie11 in

churches and religious organisations would lose millions of dollars in tax breaks, concessions and hand outs under a radical plan to force priests, rabbis and imams to sign up to a national faith register.

under the bold proposal clergy would for the first time be forced to undergo government-specified training and security checks and would be monitored by a national body, or risk losing government funding..

former premier ted baillieu has backed the plan that has been put to federal and state leaders including the prime ministers office, and premier daniel andrews..

The proposals would see clergy accredited in the same way as lawyers, doctors and teachers by an independent federal statutory body charged with registering all clergy for practice in Australia. They would be subjected to government-specified training in Australian law, child sexual abuse, family violence, women’s rights, and children’s rights. They would also be forced to renew a “licence” to practice annually, which would require meeting ongoing educational training requirements.

I love it. Make it so!

a translation attempt is as follows:.

If the Watchtower sent you to a special assignment do they have any responsibility to bring you home?

Don't they all get a One-way ticket?

"... we hope that, if possible, you can stay in your current assignment."

So, essentially, this letter says: "We really want you to keep doing what your doing as a "Special Pioneer," but we're not going to be sending you any more money."

WTF?!?

Please be assured that Jehovah will continue using you to strengthen his people wherever you might serve in the future. Remember also that he has the power to do much more than anything we could ask or imagine.

Except, evidently, keep the dollars (or pesos, as the case may be) flowing.
