  2. beliefs

  i was watching the news about the french terrorist attacks.

  not getting into that but i notice the media is churning it over a bit, now.

  moving switly on; there were prayers for peace reported.. question: what do those praying for peace think that god will actually do about their prayers?.

  My wife and I had 4 children. According to the bible (wink), multiplying and filling the earth was really the only reason for marriage-right? Marriage purely for sexual pleasure is selfish-right? Call me old fashioned, but I can't see much purpose to marriage or a fulfilling life without children.

  However, I've always marveled at how those those who are childless have such insightful counsel on child rearing!

  Our (childless) DO once made this comment in his talk at the circuit assembly: "I've never laid an egg, but I know what to do with one".

  God----he was our favorite DO of all time!

  There's a good reason that those 77 are still virgins and it aint because they are beautiful.

  by Formerbrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is there a huge cull going on of all bethels around the world?.

  about 80% cull within the next year?.

  some have been in bethel for decades and will be sent packing, the 20% of bethelites who stay will have to do their own food, laundry and clean their flat.

  One day assemblies

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this may have been discussed before.

  the costs for using the assembly hall for a one day last saturday was $12,000 with another assembly for the other half of the circuit on sunday, which will ring up another $12,000.

  if the assembly was for two days the friends might roll their eyes if it were announced the costs for the two days was $24,000.

  We had our "one day" yesterday in Madera, CA. The assembly hall is at least 35 years old. During the 'financial report announcement', we were informed that our "expenses" to use the assemble hall, (that has been paid for at least 20 times over), were $10,900. The attendance was 1,202 so $9.00 per person. The brother that made the financial announcement came to the speakers stand with bright red file folder in his hand. He 'jokingly' let us know that, yes, were are in the red so far as we had a $3,500 dollar deficit. Everyone snickered, but we were also $3,500 short last assembly also. lol!

  Oh yea, it was announce twice that there are now 4, conveniently located, ATM's inside the assembly hall for those who want to "voluntarily" donate by debit or credit cards.

  8 were baptized, 6 were teenage or less (born in jw kids), 2 adults. .6%

  WOW, what a fine day of 'spiritual' feasting!

  83,000 theocratic facilites?

  by average joe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a bethelite was telling me that there are 83,000 theocratic facilities world wide.

  he compared that to 35,000 mcdonalds and 21,000 starbucks roughly to show the size of the theocratic organization.

  i am not sure where the 83,000 comes from what would he be counting?

  12 Do I murmur against appointed brothers in the congregation? When the Israelites focused on the bad report of the ten faithless spies, they began to murmur against Moses and Aaron.

  Very valid comment Blondie

  COMMENT: Wasn’t David appointed/anointed? What about those who saw his adultery and murder, should they have spoken up?

  Don't speak up when we see shit being taught such as:

  "overlapping generations", "blood fractions"

  The Appeal and Draw of the Watchtower

  by Saved_JW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i first left the watchtower organization in 2008, a flood of emotions came back to me.

  betrayal, anger, resentment, deep depression from the relationships lost.

  emotions seemed to guide my viewpoint of others as well.

  it was our mother's religion and we HAD to go or get our ass whipped.

  Document Blood Transfusion Deaths - please help

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the vast majority of deaths from the blood policy are undocumented because they are simply not newsworthy.

  if you know of a death or serious injury/disability related to the blood policy, please help us document it.

  send as many details as you can recall.

  Heath Hodges was a terrific young brother in Hollister, CA. He died around 1998 or 1999. Official cause of death was Aplastic Anemia, a very rare blood disease, treatable only by bone marrow transplant and blood transfusion. He was about 19. His dad took Heath's death very hard especially after the nu lite "adjustments" regarding "blood fractions" were divinely revealed in 2000. Too late to help Heath.

  Tragically about 8 years later, Heath's dad took his own life. I believe that the WT blood policy took both of their lives.

  Achilles heel of Watchtower publications

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts has published over it's existence during the years a flood of books and magazines.

  many of the content of this publications includes topics about the medical, social, history field and also counsel about life style.. the achilles heel of all these publications is, that they are written mainly by amateurs, without verification and validation.

  most of it is worthless.

  Just like the translation committee that wrote the new world translation of the bible. They have no viable credentials. They're amateurs!
