How will the Watchtower help its members during hard economic times?

by truthseeker in

it's good to see many, many churches dipping into their funds to help the needy, the homeless and providing food and shelter for those who need it.. what can be said of "god's organization"?.

what do they do to help people in these tough economic times?.

will they help you with food?

The WTS is too large to monitor in a personal level the necessities of the brothers, not that they care. All they care about is the "spiritual" condition of a person; do they go out in FS?, Do they study the magz?, Do they make donations to the borg? That's all.

The brothers are on their own when it comes to financial problems. Yet, the WTS limits the education level or work skills a brother should have. How in the name of God could the brothers make donations to the WTS if they barely make a living themselves?

The WTS forbids the brothers from associating with the world , but it is more than appropiate to take money from the government. The WTS is messed up in every sense of the word.

Shame on you Watchtower!!!!1

i talked to a jw i know and got an unexpected reaction.. i mentioned some of the "conspiracy theory" stuff i have heard...about one taken, one left behind ...and what i have heard about people will be picked up in the middle of the night and taken away to "places".

this jw took it right in stride and said "yes, that's the way it was done when the nazi's started.

many jws were killed then...blah blah".

Jesus did warned :

In the future, regardless of religious convictions or personal, whomsoever does not follow, obey, worship the anti Christ, will be punished by him. So, I think we're all screwed.

Has anyone ever kept the donations given at the door?

i have.

I guess most felt the same way. Why should the WTS get money twice or three times if you count congregation donations?

What always kept me fuming was the insistence the WTS had that we MUST bring the donations given at the door to the donation box.

JWS public speaking as part of resume

some time ago i read on this forum a post regarding someone who wanted to include in his resume the training as a public speaker he'd received as a witness.

some people answered it wasn't wise to do so.

i thought the opposite.

Some time ago I read on this forum a post regarding someone who wanted to include in his resume the training as a public speaker he'd received as a witness. Some people answered it wasn't wise to do so. I thought the opposite. Anyways, the following link is a website for translation services. The man offering these services is a witness. Check how he includes all the speeches he ever gave in public as part of his experience.

He used to be a bethelite. I don't know why he left Brooklyn. But I heard through the vine that he had left the witnesses for a while.

what will be the "end afterward"?.

young people are often exposed to temptations and pressures to experiment with things that seem popular.

Funny how when this sister who is now a high school principal was in college, a bunch of brothers would make comments against college education in the WT study. This sister would cry a lot because of the way she was put down constanly. I'm glad she stood up for herself, and , she HAD her parents support at that.

Now that she's a principal, I imagine she has to have higher education guidance for her students. How does this fit today with what the WTS is teaching? I don't see how can her husband the elder say that his family is following the WTS counsel? Are they hypocrites?

What will be the "End Afterward"?

Young people are often exposed to temptations and pressures to experiment with things that seem popular. Here are some likely scenarios.

Someone dares you to smoke a cigerette.
A well-intentioned teacher urges you to pursue higher education at a university.
You are invited to a party where alcohol and possibly drugs will be freely available.
"Why don't you post your profile on the Internet?" someone suggests.
A friend invites you to watch a movie that features violence or immorality.

If you are ever confronted with any of such situations, what will you do? Will you simply give in, or will you carefully consider what the "end afterward" could be? You would be wise to ask yourself: "Can a man rake together fire into his bosom and yet his very garments not be burned? Or can a man walk upon the coals and his feet themselves not be scorched?" - Prov 6:27,28

I know a sister who is a high school principal. I don't know how could she be a principal. Does she tell "worldly" kids that college is no good? What if she also has JWS kids in her school? Does she encourage college edu to worldly kids, but not to JWS kids? Wouldn't that confuse them?

Another guilt trip Watchtower this past Sunday.

by easyreader1970 in

i won't go into the article as a whole because it's discussed in another topic here.

but i truly despise the way that the watchtower tries to guilt or frighten people into going out in field service.

not only will jehovah kill that person (unfairly) if you don't preach to them, but he'll kill you too!.

heyfea

Actually, the WTS is the one who should feel very guilty. THEY could do a lot more in the preaching work by using other methods of communications, radio, tv, etc. And furthermore, they aren't even sending brothers to the Middle East, China, or any other place where there are hardly any Christians. Shame, shame, shame.

If you really think about it, weren't the disciples of Jesus the ones anointed with Holy spirit? Weren't they the ones who took the initiative in spreading the good news, even when they knew they would face death. Well, aren't the FDS the anointed ones today? What the hell is THEIR job?
