Ummmmmmm , i imagine she was in the back room the second the prayer ended.

Actually no, she is known to have "lost it" for awhile. Still a pioneer though. I am surprised they still call on her.

We actually had an elderly pioneer say that she loves this new light. She said she never understood all this, and I quote her, "type/anti-type BS!" And then went on to say she used to tell bible students who asked her what does this mean to just come to the Hall and it will be answered. The whole place chuckled for a good minute. Yep, a long time servant of Jah admitted it was BS right in the middle of the meeting.

May 2015 JW Broadcast, "The Watchtower Has The Most Multilingual Speakers in the World? True or False?

by RoyalFlushPhil in

stephen lett about 33 minutes in to may's "liar liar" episode of the monthly worship broadcast said "jehovah's witnesses have the most multilingual speakers of any organization in the world!".

the catholic church has the most people i thought, do you think he's telling the truth and where is he getting these facts?

i finally broke down and decided to watch this in order to work on my reverse witnessing skills, lots of ammunition for anyone needing fuel to extinguish their dirty flames of lies!.

Doctor Who

The most in the world? Hmmm, I don't know. I do know that there has been, as of late, a big push to learn a second language to preach to immigrants in the USA. I know of at least 6 special language groups in my area. I would say that 80% of the young ones in my congregation attend these. To me, it seems to be more of a social occasion for them. I tested some of them awhile back by introducing myself to some of them in Russian, and to my surprise they didn't understand me. This was after they were in the class for going on a year.

what reaction have you received when you said 'that .org site is nothing more than tv evangelism' to a jw ?

by sowhatnow in

did they get it?

.

do they also not see that they are building 'temples'?

Doctor Who

Some people here in western Pa are noticing it. I know many old timers who really don't get this. Some are actually just keeping their mouths shut not wanting to rock the boat. I help an older couple with grass cutting and little odds and ends who privately confided in me that it is "odd" and is like "Christendom!" They are just very afraid to speak up....

who is this giving glory to?.

I actually LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. It is helping my sister to wake up. She actually got in trouble last week for telling a piousneer that her jw pin and jw.org branded magazine holder would have been a big no no just 10 years ago and could have gotten you reproved. An elder this past service meeting told me we are going to have a "keep up with Jah's celestial chariot" part on our next local needs....partly due to my sister! I love it.

GB’s spring cleaning helps faders

by wheelwithinwheel in

jw

the gbs 2015 doctrinal spring cleaning is a gift to all faders.

when we were fading they were grappling with the dying generation.

their ensuing explanations made our diminishing meeting attendance and service easily explainable.

Doctor Who

I have to agree with DOC. Me, being a Ministerial Servant and just turning down the position of Elder, would be tried and executed by my BOE for apostasy if I tried that. It may work for some, especially if you weren't appointed. But if you have ANY position in the Organization I wouldn't recommend it.

On paragraph 16 I commented on how "just 10 years ago someone would be considered weak or even showy if they used an electronic device in the KH. Now practically everyone of us uses them, even the Governing Body." The look I got from the WT conductor was pathetic. Didn't say anything to me because a couple of elderetts were nodding their heads in approval!

i get the google alerts for the jws and below is from one of the obits it sent out regarding a sister that was 76 years old when she died:.

joan attended beauty school and was a certified nurses assistant at the manor nursing home.

she was a member of the cowlitz congregation of jehovahs witnesses.

Doctor Who

I knew an elder whose son was a cub scout until someone told on him. Basically, if you are an elder or related to one, you can do anything unless someone rats you out.
