Giving only applies to the R and F. "Do as we say not as we do!" "Listen! Obey! or be SHUNNED!"

What is the GB Giving Back?
by kneehighmiah inin harmony with acts 6:1-7, what is the gb giving back to the r&f?
the post about the cos being retired and recent wt articles about caring for older ones made me think.
the gb is doing everything to cut costs while at the same time asking for more sacrifices.

The Annual Meeting Quote
by confusedandalone insomeone told me today that at the annual meeting something was said along the lines that, we do not need to be like the boreans and search that everything is true because we know we have the truth.
can anyone confirm this?.

Can anyone confirm this? NO! Just about anything that the GB says cannot be confirmed. They are exactly like any other religion in that they 'hve the truth' and it doesn't need to be confirmed. Listen, Obey, and be Blessed. Yep!

Is the Governing Body trolling us?
by kneehighmiah ini'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.
the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.
calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.

I thought that 'troll' dolls were a big no-no for JW's. So how could the GB 'troll' anything? They are much too "righteous" to 'troll'. I'm sure that the octo-pope will come up with nu-lite than will allow 'only' the FDS, aka GB to 'troll'. The rank and file----'no trolling'!

When they disfellowship...
by ???What??? inwhen they disfellowship someone, how do they have the audacity to say "[name] is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses."?.
being a witness of jehovah is a personal relationship between jehovah and the individual.
only jehovah and the individual know the depth and trueness of the relation that exists between them.

Let's face it! If it weren't for the cruel shunning by our family and friends, we would all be happy to have our names announced from the platform as "no longer one of Jehovah's witnesses".

And yet, stoning to death is what the WTBTS would do to "apostates" if the law allowed it in your country. No wonder JW's consider themselves to be the "happiest people on earth".

Milking the convention cash cow for all it's worth - some questions
by Fernando inif memory serves there have been discussions about:.
pressure to donate to cover convention expenses far beyond actual expenses.
obtaining venue subsidies and or sponsorships but not passing on the savings to the flock.

It would be a real good thing for those still attending meetings to casually approach the elders and ask them why CA's costs are so much when the Assembly Halls have been paid off for years. I was asked that question when I was an elder, and frankly had no answer---but it did get me to thinking. Where does the money go? And why are we not being 100% honest about costs?

Judge Over-Rules Parents To Allow Blood for Baby Boy
by tim hooper indoctors from birmingham children's hospital applied for an order to give the baby boy blood transfusions.
a high court judge has said a baby boy can undergo blood transfusions despite his parents' objections.. the baby has complex heart disease but his parents, who are jehovah's witnesses, said they could not consent to a transfusion on religious grounds.. birmingham children's hospital had applied for an order to proceed with cardiac surgery and transfusions.. the judge, mr justice keehan, heard the boy had no "long-term prospect of survival" without the surgery.. 'best interests'.
the boy was born at the university hospital of coventry and warwickshire on 7 february and placed in special care.

You gotta know that these parents are absolutely thrilled by this ruling. All parents, even JW parents, want their children to have the absolute best chance to survive a major surgery. The judge did these parents a huge human kindness by taking this decision out of their hands. I know of at least 2 young couples that had the same thing happen to them here in California. Their children survived and are now very healthy and florishing. One of the couples admitted to me that they know that their child would have died if the court had not stepped in. They told me that they were very relieved and that they could "blame" the system for violating God's law on blood. (LOL) Amen!
A substitute CO and his wife once told my wife and I a similar story of their very best personal friend's child that had to have open heart surgery and the court stepped in and "forced" a blood transfusion. Both the CO and his wife in a subtle way admitted that the child would have died without the "forced" blood transfusion. Thank God!

The revised edition will be released at the AGM this year. It will update with all the "nu-lite". The title will also be revised from "Reasong from the Scriptures" to "Non-Reasoning From the Governing Body....Take it or Leave it"!

It should not really surprise anyone that JW's respond with hateful, vengeful messages. They learned it from the God of the OT! And they are his 'Witnesses" right?

False premise/ self-contradiction / intellectual dishonesty / Willful stupidity = Watch Tower anointing
by Terry inwe've all heard the true story.. william miller, a baptist lay preacher and war hero, carefully worked out the 2nd coming of jesus using the bible and chronology.. he was invited to speak and explain his warnings and proof in many churches.
tens of thousands heard and believed and waited.. nothing happened.
the great big nothing was called "the great disappointment.".

Good info Terry but what amazes me is that we all bought this stuff for so long! Why were we so afraid to "look behind the curtain"?
