  Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick

  by sir82 in

  2. friends

  heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.

  apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.

  so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

  Here's the thing you raid all the money from the kingdom halls, so what's now your motivation to build or renovate when buildings like these are hard to sell and not much prophet. So you take the raided money and invest it in other places. Then do nothing for the religious side of your business hoping members will still donate and get nothing in return except the promise of paradise.

  You continue to do this until the rank and file members give up and disappear. They know it's coming religion is dieing so their just going to squeeze the turnip as long as it will produce

  i just got the new document about blood fractions from the wt, they will allow you to choose hemoglobin, but apparently not packed red blood cells, but in the medical journal i see nothing about hemoglobin infusions, is this even possible or just more bullshit from the wt?

  Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

  They were right this whole time when they said the end is near the end is near. It is, for them.

  The remote translating offices is just code so they can buy houses and other real estate buildings that don't fit the kh or assembly building template and not cause ones to wake up. I don't think the intent was ever to build just buy these properties as investments.

  If this is really happening then it means to me that the lawyer's realized how stupid the leaders are of the cult and stole the money.

  I know of someone that requested a study on their website and never heard from anyone. Also getting rid of door to door work would make it easier for them to retain kids and attract new ones that would never sign up because they don't want to do it.

  What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.

  whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?

  im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

  Our hall gets a new elder in charge whatever there called these days. This is when I was teenager. Anyway he had two boys about the same age as many of us. A few months go by and we decide to play football. Next day at meeting were all pulled in to a meeting by this head elder and he starts yelling at us and mostly me for swearing during this game. I guess one of his kids the youngest I believe turned us in. He was chewing into me the most but later stopped and started to chew in to another friend more when he found out this guy was older.

  What this pompice ass didn't realize was his oldest boy was the oldest of the group and not one of us started swearing until his kids were doing it. Later his oldest left the truff and became the first apostate I had ever known.

  Need Help with Blood Transfusion Illustration

  by Dissonant15 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?

  i always thought it was bullet-proof:.

  "if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?

  There is a lot of good illustration here, I like the one about being told by a doctor not to eat meat so that must mean no liver transplant . But really you could just go for the throat and say Jesus our master said at Mark 7:18 nothing entering into a man can defile him and at Matthew chapter 12 hes talking about how the law can and should be broken if it allows for saving a life verse 7or 8 he says "we desire mercy not sacrifice". Then you may ask, Is Jesus not your king and master?

  Where did they understood the anointed ones would be before the "great crowd" "revelation"?

  by paradisebeauty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a question on old doctrine of jw's.

  before they came up with the "great crowd" "revelation", where did they preached that the anointed ones will be?

  because if they preached it will be in heaven, how did they understood that the prophecies about the earth will be fulfilled?

  There was actually a time when Rutherford preached 4 classes. It's also interesting that when Rutherford saw the UN in Israel about the late 1940's is when he came up with the idea of the UN being the beast standing in the Holy place. This is because they still believed that the literal Israel was going to be involved in end time prophecies.
