in a thread about the new wt video on kora, two posters mentioned that the wts sends out bills/statements to the congregations that don't send enough money for the literature/study materials/videos, etc.

two different posters mentioned in the thread "letter read out to congregations" (page one) one bill was for 2k and the other one for $1,400.

(i'm assuming u.s. dollars) .

get out of her MY people !
by KAYTEE in
1. watchtower
2. bible
rev 18:4 warns us to "get out of her my people.......",

if we are/were his people, we would have got out of babylon the great before entering the ranks of jehovah's witnesses.

the question is - why is he saying my people, who are the " my people" that he is talking to and where are such ones to "get out from" ?

GB disassociates itself!!
by lulu in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
dear brothers:

as you have admitted, the watch tower bible & tract society did join the united nations as a non government organization in 1992 ending in 2001, and according to the following watch tower this means that by their own actions they disassociated them selves from jehovahs organization which means that we must treat them like disfellowshiped ones.

in other words they are no longer jehovahs witnesses or have any right to that name.

Preaching the kingdom or what?
by acsot in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i was at the meeting on sunday and one brother mentioned how jws are heeding the scripture at matthew 24:14, you know, about the kingdom being preached, and he said how in every corner of the world jws are now found and it's a fulfillment of the scripture.

then the thought struck me that if that were true, then when people think of jws they should think "god's kingdom".

not in my experience, as when going from door to door or what colleagues at work have said.
