  Those JW pins and Jewelry

  by AudeSapere in

  i'm not surprised but i must admit to a little eye roll.... looking at some photos on my brother's facebook page, i stumbled on a picture of our mother.

  it took a few cycles thru the photos before i realized that mom has a jw pin on her top.. not surprising, but wanted to share.. we have not spoken in a long time.

  for a while she was calling me every couple of weeks from her cell phone in the morning.

  So what's the purpose of JW.org jewellery? Giving a witness? Identifying other JWs? Showing your dedication to your cult?

  JW.ORG has jehovahs backing

  by antes8080 in

  2. friends

  been hearing this from various people from the cong that jw.org is a clear sign that god is directing the org.. i have various friends in the it dept not only in brooklyn but mexico and colombia, just a fact there is 5 to 6 it dept all over the world that give support to jworgie 24/7... so i have ask them how they came up with the website wich is not the best but not the worst by far.

  all four of them told me the same story, there is a brother in florida that is profesor of some kind computer class and as project he made them work on the website so students of these college helped launch this site.. so more like jah backing it has more like satan backing...

  OMG, really? This exists? Is this like the JW version of Mary Poppins?

  What really gets me is that the JWs used to tout that they didn't give credit to anybody because all praise should go to Jehovah. Now they've got the GB's names and faces splattered all over their videos. If they would have stuck to their original stance on who they should worship, there would be no names to go along with the people on the videos.

  Back when I was a JW, the names and faces of the GB members were generally unknown or unimportant (with the exception of CT Russell). Now we know all the stars behind Jehovah's cartoonish organization.

  US bethel could not produce them - so they were printed from 3 different "not JW-companies".

  I'm guessing this is the way they're going to do it eventually. A card is much cheaper to print than a magazine. I wonder what the suggested donation price is for this piece of crap?

  Do they use the Awake! as a textbook? If they do, they must be smarter than the average college graduate.

  All this new JW.org stuff is hurting my brain

  by Nosferatu in

  so i just watched the singing cart video.

  i literally cannot describe how i felt watching that.. growing up as a jw was serious business.

  we had to take the preaching work seriously, watch our conduct, give a good witness by our actions, and be on our best behaviour to ensure we made it through the great tribulation.. when i was a child, i had dreams of being a cartoonist.

  So I just watched the singing cart video. I literally cannot describe how I felt watching that.

  Growing up as a JW was serious business. We had to take the preaching work seriously, watch our conduct, give a good witness by our actions, and be on our best behaviour to ensure we made it through the great tribulation.

  When I was a child, I had dreams of being a cartoonist. I remember mentioning the idea of making a JW cartoon that would help preach the good news. The idea was shot down and I actually got scolded for it. Now they have that Sparlock and Caleb crap.

  I once coloured and painted in my copy of "My Book of Bible Stories". I got a beating for defacing Jehovah's books. Now they have downloadable colouring pages and connect the dots activities.

  I remember one particular assembly we had where some of the brothers were talking about giving a Kingdom Melody a rock beat and how wrong it was. Now we have songs about singing carts.

  And yeah, the carts themselves. This is serving Jehovah with your whole heart? I can throw a bunch of literature on a cart and walk around with it. Does a recycling cart count?

  And the whole JW broadcasting thing. After seeing Jimmy Swaggart crying on TV and having Oral Roberts beg for money, the last thing I thought I'd see is JW Television. But here it is.

  I guess I always expected the JW religion to stay the same no-fun dictatorship that it was when I left. I never in my wildest dreams expected them to turn into a parody of themselves. Just when I thought I had dealt with most of the issues I had when I left, they create new ones that just screw with my mind. It's just like when I found out (years later) that they changed the Generation of 1914 teaching. Finding out they had changed it made me extremely angry for a long time. Now that they've become everything I thought was wrong and worldly, I'm blown away again. I just can't wrap my mind around it.

  Awake! to be part of Watchtower Public Edition!

  by Atlantis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this was posted on a jw site and it would be nice if we could verify.. .. .. as of february 2015, the awake!

  will come as a part of the watchtower public edition instead of as a separate magazine.

  this is a huge change... with serious cost savings.

  All that stands between separate WT and Awake "magazines" right now is a strip of glue down the middle.

  I am still predicting they will be combined, but under the new name "JW.org magazine"

  I'm guessing it will be something like "JW.ORG monthly" or something like that. Gotta make it look more mainstream. The name "Watchtower" has been tarnished over the last century.

  What I noticed while watching that 55 minutes worth of crap... Nobody prayed. They beat the shit out of the daily text at the end, but nobody prayed.
