  How Many JW Terms Aren't in the Bible?

  by jamiebowers in

  2. friends

  the following youtube video made by a young person who is unbaptized and hopes to become a publisher says that the word "rapture" isn't in the bible.

  a comment on the video says that the words "disfellowship", and "god's organization" aren't in the bible either and that the name jehovah isn't written in the new testament aka greek scriptures.

  can we further enlighten this young person as to how many words jws typically use that aren't in the bible?

  An Average Apostate Day

  i cannot understand why dubs are so terrified of apostates.

  we all live mostly modest and normal lives, but dubs don't believe that.

  so for all you lurking dubbies out there, i am going to tell what i think and do on .

  - "how can they claim this? who wrote this the WTS writing dept?"
  
  That's exactly how I've been feeling about this whole thing. Everything is so controlling, everything is perfect, but the reality scares the shit out of me. The product that has been going out the door for the last few months has looked like crap or has been shipped incomplete. There are MAJOR problems with this place, and I don't wanna be on this sinking ship.
  
  StAnn, I was thinking about going that route. But nahh, he deserves to be pissed off after all the crap I've put up with here.
  
  BTW, I printed out 50 copies of that email and stuffed it into as many file folders as I could find in my filing cabinet and every binder that I have. The next new guy, and at least the new guy afterward should be able to find it to see what it's really like around here. Too bad I already deleted all the other "friendly" emails that I had, or else I would've printed those off too.
  
  People are going to find them, whether they be my replacement(s) or other employees learning how to do my job.
  
  Just like the Watchtower, the truth is what will hurt them the most.

  Here's another update...
  
  The boss came up to me and asked if I had made the phone call. I told him no. He then told me "I'm disappointed in you. I think we treated you pretty good. I'm very disappointed in you. Can you live with that?" He said it all in front of another co-worker.
  
  I'm all for not burning bridges, but he's the one who dropped the match.

  I think you're right.
  
  I may just help drag this stupid conversation along for the next week right up until my last day. He seems to like dragging things out, so that'll suit him well. It's always worked with my controlling parents, maybe it'll work for him.
  
  Oh yeah, remember that first email where he offered to phone my boss? Well, I'm printing out 30 copies or so, sticking them in every folder in my filing cabinet, every binder on my shelf, and letting the new guy figure out for himself if he wants to stay here (and maybe even the guy after him). That's my revenge :D
  
  Oh yeah, and there's a sticker on the bottom of my desk drawer that says "No Future"

  I finally got a response. What a yutz...
  
  - "Nos, I feel exactly the opposite. By going back to Ron you are showing him that you assume ownership for your position within (company name). I firmly believe that he will admire your commitment to the employer who has provided you with gainful employment for the past decade. I understand the future is exciting for you and that you want to move forward as soon as possible but, let’s button things up here first and leave on a good note."
  
  Do you think it's time to forward the copy of the contract I signed when I started here? the one that says I only have to give two weeks notice? ;)

  Let's predict the next 10 years of "noolite"

  by Awakened at Gilead in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the past 15 years or so have seen incredible "advances" in the new light agenda of the wts.. there have been changes in the generation (twice!

  ), sheep and goats, celestial phenomena, opening up the way to heaven (closed since 1935), the "composite sign", "blood fractions", along with major organizational changes, such as paperbacks, once monthly awake!

  's, cult edition of the wt, along with the reduction of the meeting nights and change to the po nomenclature becoming the coboe (ssdd).... some of these changes have been foreseen by posters here on jwd, or were suggested by information in apostates recomended reading lists (i.e.

  My prediction is that they'll make losing the "Unbaptized Publisher" status on par with disassociation. I already get shunned by some for this, so why not make it official?
  
  I also believe that they will get rid of the public version of the Watchtower and KEEP the Awake. They could easily combine the two magazines into one, but they will keep the Awake name because it's not as tarnished as the Watchtower name. Or they may come up with an entirely new name for this magazine. This is one way to change the stigma attached to the names of their magazines and will increase placements.
  
  This one is a long shot, but they will declare that Armageddon has started. Of course the first stage of Armageddon will last for freakin' ever, but it'll buy them at least a hundred years.

  So here's the new email I'm going to send:
  
  - "I decided against contacting my new employer again about dealying my employment for an extra week. This type of repeated requesting would not reflect well on me, nor would it reflect well on my desire to be employed at this new job."
  
  If he complains again, I'll be sending one last email, and it'll be a good one :)

  WT backtracking fast on Book Study -High Gas Prices

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so tonight the congregation discussed the front page of the october km -the new meeting schedule.

  straight away it was emphasized it was not because of high gas prices that the meetings were being reduced.

  it was pointed out that in parts of the world the brothers do not have cars so it was not high gas prices.

  And you guys thought it was all about the Gas Prices. Where would you come up with a crazy idea like that?
