  So India has now become the place we’re all the growth is and all the funds will go. Makes sense JWs won’t be able to verify if the money is being used there or not. They can make up any amount of publishers and spread all the propaganda about all the growth and JWs will be non the wiser. Brilliant, if your a money scamming cult!

  hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.

  today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.

  they say people in warwick were commenting on this.

  They aren’t going to change and major doctrine. If you have paid attention they have been doing the exact opposite. They ofcourse are saying something to drive interest so they can keep people pluged in.

  District Assemblies now being held at Circuit Assembly locations?

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.

  i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.

  why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.

  I think this is going to happen in more and more places. A lot of the circuit assembly sites are owned by the Borg. This way they can better isolate thier slaves and keep apostates out. It also make more sense from a money making standpoint.

  my wife was diagnosed with ms about two years ago.

  we have been living in ohio for the last 5 years but were recently assigned to a new congregation because of the dissolving and sale of our congregation/kh.

  my wife's symptoms spiked after being relocated to our new hall back in january.

  My mother has MS and it didn’t seem to progress after a while, but she wasn’t going to most meetings either do to having to take care of a sick family member. She’s now going back to meetings regularly, it will be interesting to see if your MS now starts to progress or not. It will be interesting if there maybe a direct coalition between the the growth of the diseases and meetings attendance.

  Who wrote the Bible?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wordings suggest much of the bible is written by false friends of god.

  to mention a few:.

  1) god planted a special tree to pay the way for suffering and death into the lives of his children.. 2) god protected cain who murdered his innocent brother out of sheer jealousy.

  I believe the Greeks wrote many of the books that found there way into the Bible. Many of these stories came from other cultures like Sumeria but were changed to suit the new narrative.

  Tax question: How are illegals paid at farms, lawn care, construction, etc?

  by Bad_Wolf in

  1. social
  2. current

  i was wondering how exactly is it that illegals can get paid and be under the radar?

  a business takes in cash.

  at farms, construction, etc, most probably comes in from checks and credit.

  I know of an illegal that was able to get a SS# number from a dead person about his same age. From there he was able to move on and became this person. He now has credit a business a home and everything else a legal can have.

  Is the blood doctrine idolatrous?

  by Fred Franztone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not a god-fearing individual, but when i was still a believer, many suns ago, it occurred to me that the blood doctrine had an idolatrous foundation; it was one of the initial anti-wt thoughts in my mind that eventually led to me leaving the religion and ultimately (and somewhat ironically) to atheism.. the bible says that one should 'abstain from blood', and putting aside whether this is a mistranslation of bloodshed (which i've never bought), the wt are quite picky about which commandments they follow; they don't observe the sabbath, and they've even provided justifications for lying, so why the preoccupation with the blood commandment?

  and why is it so serious a matter that it's a disfellowship-worthy offence?

  the justification i was always given by elders was that blood is sacred, it's a symbol of life, and whilst the commandment to abstain from blood clearly meant that one shouldn't eat it, it's not unreasonable on the surface to extrapolate it to include transfusions (although some would disagree).. the problem with this reasoning of course is that by abstaining from blood transfusions, death from massive blood-loss is a possibility, unlike with abstaining from eating it.
