on my roku box, i went to the most popular channels and there sits jw.org.

it has a rating of 5 stars with over 43,000 reviews!

more than the nbc news channel, and more than the history channel.

I'm sure on one of the up coming broadcasts they will brag about this very point

A blog post on my 65th birthday

putting this out there for everybody.

Jeff, very good blog. What makes it especially good is the timing. You were 18 when the "face the facts" article came out and bam, now you're 65 and no new world. Yes, you proved them wrong 100%. You did face the facts and the facts proved them so wrong, you can laugh yourself to the bank everyday. And the Watchtower can't. They can't literally because they even shut down their own construction. They had no idea that this old system would go on this long. Not one of them did.

By the way, I think your posts are well written too.

London Ohio and Indianapolis Assemby Halls to be sold

by munchausen in

announce was made this week that the assembly halls in london, ohio and indianapolis indiana will be sold and a new 3000 seat assembly hall will be built in southwest ohio.

the assembly hall in london ohio was built in the 70's and is in fine shape - nothing wrong with it.

the new one will cost around 8-9 million.

This really makes me mad because this was the last time that I actually donated, and now to hear this!!! I hate the fact that my money went to the org! I thought it was supposed to go to the building of the new assembly hall. I live in SW Ohio and will ask about the project next chance I get.

WT Resurrection Hope Absolutely Ridiculous As Illustrated In Their Publications

by JW_Rogue in

saw this while browsing through the good news brochure:.

is it any wonder people aren't listening to jws anymore?

what an absolutely delusional scene!

LevelThePlayingField

I can't believe that they actually took the beard of that guy. For what reason?! There's not one good reason at all. Wait, yes there is, it serves the Watchtowers purpose.

What is a generation? Matthew 1:17 is pretty clear to me

by pleaseresearch in

so we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach.

if this has been mentioned before i apologize.

but it's interesting that at the start of matthew we go through the genealogy of jesus.

Not long after the video came out with Splane and his chart explaining this generation thing I phoned an elder and used this very scripture in Matthew and said, "There. That's how long a generation is according to the Bible. You don't need charts to tell us how long a generation is." And believe it or not he actually agreed with me. But he didn't really say much after that and kinda just mumbled that we need to go along with the slave.

So I didn't really argue with him much and kept status-quo with him to keep the relationship, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but simply stating that to me, I wanted to stick with the Biblical definition of a generation. And that was about the extent of the conversation. I wish I had a big "ta-da moment" but sorry, just reality.

Now, why, why, WHY, Sir82 did I click on that?! Because I'm gullible, that's why. But man did I have a laugh. Just like when Outlaw has his posts here. You really had me.

Could I really be that gullible, yeah I sure could be, after all I'm JW.

Instructions for Circuit Accounting (S-331)

by wifibandit in

instructions for circuit accounting (s-331) 6/13.

7. normal operating expenditures: normal operating expenditures include per capita contributions for use of an assembly hall, payments for other meeting facilities, and reimbursement of the special assembly day guest speaker or trav-eling overseer for travel costs or other incidental expenses incurred in connection with a circuit assembly, an assigned district convention, or a special assembly day or while teaching the pio-neer service school or moving to a new assign-ment.

such expenditures do not require a res-olution.

LevelThePlayingField

Thanks wifi, pretty soon, we'll be able to walk into any elders meeting and tell them what's what with a smile. No, seriously though, these leaks are awesome because it just goes to show you how some really feel about the org for real.

i thought i would rework this and try it again.

i found an old baptism nullification letter here written by poster balsam, and revised it a bit.. i really think we should do a large-scale baptismal nullification request.

letter and more info here.. i am concerned there is no way to track how many people did it.
