Watchtower study today - best practice in word

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

due to family reasons gorby was present today.. the watchtower study was about refugee's.. how to treat refugee's, jw and non believers, and help them spiritual, not financial.

nothing new.. what i mentioned is the juridical message underneath the whole story.

don't talk politics, listen to government regulations etc.. most bizar is that a whole congregation that normaly avoid giving any aid to people in need, this morning gave the best practice in word about what to do with refugee's.. if the subject was not that serious, this hypocracy could be funny.

This cult with these kind of teachings just shows that their not just a bunch of delusional idiots thinking thier working for gods organization, they are obviously just snake oil sales men wanting nothing more then money and they'll even take it from the needy!!

This also reminds me of back at 9/11 , when total chaos was going on the JWs showed up with tracts. It was such a joke and they'll realized it so many went and got bottled water and where giving it to the victims . Their pathetic completely pathetic!!!

Tacoma Dome Conventions

by Lynnie in

so i went to visit my jw aging mother this week (i've been df'd for 40 years) and she told me she needs to give the people who are taking her to the convention $10 each day of the convention to cover gas?

my uber elder cousin told her she needs to do this!!!

wtf?

The parking lot scam worked like this. The Borg had negotiated with the city of Tacoma a massive cheap rate. The city then said since we're giving you this reduced rate if you charge for parking we want it. The Borg agreed, except a year or so later the cult instructed the congregations to collect the money before hand at the Kingdom Halls and each member that paid would get a colored piece of paper to put on their dash showing the attendants that they had paid for parking at the hall. The cult had hoped that by doing it this way the city would never find out that the cult was collecting for parking, but a high up elder or CO in the area felt bad so he informed the city, of course he was dfd!

On a side note, when my daughter became very ill and needed help my wife was trying to raise money anyway she could and some of the people from the cult donated money , but to my knowledge not none elder in her congregation gave one red cent!

WT Library being edited

by berrygerry in

i thought that wt would have started doing this, but i have not noticed any posts before.. can anyone confirm (post is from fb)?.

so i have been looking up these different articles to read for myself...one problem.the last time we got a disc was 2015 and i used my mil's disc to down load it to my computer.

they did a update to it last year over the internet, the program updated it's self.

Crazyguy

Yep this is the plan, every time you get a new JW library cd they'll rewrite anything they dont want left out their. They were doing this back in the late 80s. The January 1989 wt said the end would come before the end of the twentieth century, but when the bound volume for that year came out end of the following year that wt had been edited changing that paragraph.

"A little leaven ferments the whole batch of dough". A way to make witnesses think!?

by stuckinarut2 in

how can we briefly make a calm, dignified point to witnesses we care about such as family or friends?

how can we make them think?.

here are a couple of well known scriptures: (from the revised new world translation.

Nice job Perry but unfortunately that's to much thinking for most JWs today. They have been conditioned to just go along to get along.

Lowering the standards: The sign of a cult struggling for survival

by Hidden-Window in

jw

many of the recent changes in the jehovah's witness organization are a clear sign of a cult that is struggling for survival.

the internet has change the scenario in a very dramatic way.

many of us who for years struggled alone with doubts and cognitive dissonance thinking that we were the only ones, that we, as individuals were the issue, now know that there is a large community of individuals who see the organization as what it is, a mind controlling cult that is not only false, but also dangerous.. the governing body clearly understands the consequences of this awakening.

Crazyguy

The problem is when the faithful hear something at the Kingdom Hall they believe it as if was from god. So anything can be said and the zombies will comply. This means the ones leaving are the ones on the fringe and the young. The cult will go down but ever so slowly.

The good news is they keep putting their foots in their mouths helping to wake up more people Also the numbers of old JWs that are going back seam to be falling way off. Once your out, faded or dfd it's easier to see the problems with the cult or get online to do research. People just aren't going back like they used to.

Weekly Scripture Twist - aka the Watchtower Study

by doubtfull1799 in

“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.

(matt.

4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

Crazyguy

In recently donated 10% of the total cost so a kid could get a life changing machine that has enabled him to stop his overwhelming pain and start walking again. I guess I should of just sent him a watchtower, while in his horrific pain he could be day dreaming about living in paradise in the future after he died from his horrific condition. That is if he could even concentrate to read the magazine and then fantasize while in such pain.

Aust 2016 Census observations: JW's getting older, more kids leaving, and 30+ group aren't returning

by shepherdless in

1. median age.

experts will tell you that if you want to know if a population is in growth or decline, the best single number to look at is the median age of the population.

i have extracted aust census data and calculated the following approx median ages:.

Crazyguy

This truly is a cult in decline, 25% reduction in Kingdom Halls in the US and Canada even more it would seam in other countries. Their desperation is showing too. Constantly trying to get people to believe that god has and organization and their it and that the GB are gods chosen group, from what I hear that's all they pretty much talk about anymore.

Theyll be pushing the fear tactics more and more too. The good news is recruiting is pretty much dead so their relying on the children now but even if 50% of those stay the cult will be just a shadow of its former self and as they get smaller they become less significant to even those still in.

The big mistake of jw.org property management

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

today i read some news story's about the property deals of jw.org in brooklyn.

they made good money and good connections.. but i'm sure jw.org made a very, very big mistake in brooklyn.

they did.. they sold and are selling all the property for money.

Crazyguy

The lawsuit where the judge froze one of their properties had to be a major factor. Cash flow issues probably another factor as well.
