  Circuit Assembly Report

  by Hapgood in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  coming out of the lurking mode to give you all a report on the 2 day ca that i attended this past weekend.

  i always enjoy other reports that have been posted so i thought i would share my observations.

  i attend with my jw hubby to keep him company so he doesn't have to go alone, that's the only reason that i go.. i didn't take any notes, so i'm doing this by memory.

  My question still stands..; DID THE SPEAKER REALLY SAY THAT STUFF ABOUT THE UN SPECIFICALLY? My reason for placing such importance on this is that it could be key to really seperating 3 of my close relatives from the borg. My Mother was very disturbed by that UN connection and said that it is only a matter of new light from the Society, and the light keeps getting brighter...(blah,blah,blah) and the Society would never talk about the UN being 'bad" ever again in view of this new light. Incidentally, she does'nt buy the library card excuse either, which is a huge step. If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Hapgood,

  He brought out how disgusting it was for any Religion to have anything to do with the UN and promoting peace.

  Did he REALLY say this, or is it just the gist you got, or your interpretation of, his talk?.

  Thanks,

  barbara anderson and joseph anderson vs watchtower society.

  as you may remember the watchtower has petitioned the circuit court of manchester tennessee to dismiss the case against them filed by barbara and joe anderson.

  I have to say that I hope that this case sets a precedent that the Watchtower can't get away with the crap they have been getting away with. I must also add that I am only cautiously optimistic. The tower has a LOT OF MONEY as we all know, and rest assured they will use ALL THEIR RESOURCES to fight this thing, Maybe that's why they are asking for more donations so much lately. My hope of course, is that justice will prevail. But I have to think it will be an uphill battle, but at least we have hope. If enough s#$t is thrown against the wall, some of it is bound to stick.

  They Need 5X More Money Than Pioneers! (Dec 1 Wt)

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the dec. 1 watchtower is very remarkable - it is rare to read such a forthright article begging for money.. i don't recall any such appeal except when the society went into a panic over their 'voluntary donation arrangement'.

  some years ago.. the article contains about 10 paragraphs concerning the need for more money ( "tithing", "material goods").

  but only two about pioneering!

  I wonder what my Aunt will say about this. She has always said that one of the key reason's for her leaving the Catholic Church was that they never passed around a collection plate at the Kingdom Hall.

  JWs in The Workplace: What Type Were/Are You?

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to me that jws in the workplace fall into three basic categories: (1) the matter-of-fact type who goes about his/her business, not hiding his/her religious afflililation and seldom if ever initiates conversations on religious topics, but who nonethless hews to the wtbs party line on involvement in non-business social events, i.e.

  office holiday parties, etc.

  handling any inquiries succinctly; (2) the aggressive type that seeks opportunity to ``give a witness" to workmates, who brings in and displays prominently wt literature and reads or studies his/her wt at lunchtime and at coffee breaks; or (3) the ``double lifer" easy-going type who's one of the boys/gals and who onlyreveals his/her religious affliliation reluctantly or under duress, yet away from work is a regular meeting attender and active in ``field service.".

  I think most of us on here mean no physical harm to witnesses. I personally care a lot for the witnesses, that's why I'm so ticked off at the management of the watchtower for deceiving the rank and file so badly, I think they do so intentionally, I really do. I guess I would just like to see them just go away, but emotions run high in this matter and people start to panic because we don't see the "end" to the Tower in sight, and some of us desire to expedite the process, and we start to "fantasize" about different ways to accomplish this end. Yes, some take it too far, and it's not right.

  I don't necessarily call for complete censoring. But going on KH properties and physically pestering people is where I see it as taking it too far...

  I agree with you. My Mother is a devout witness, and I would'nt want some jack ass throwing stuff at her or making fun of her...That stuff is B.S.
