  Great point Data-Dog. It could also make it easier for the GB to delete elders that screwing up.

  It will be interesting how this plays out with elders and ms that request to be deleted.

  We've been getting more substitute CO's (local elders) the past few years. I wonder if they may just make these substitutes permanent and use them to cover the circuits/districts they reside in. This would cut down on expenses such as providing apartments and cars, while allowing the CO's to take care of aging family, and other responsibilities that deter other elders from pursuing that position.

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  Is a slow fade being selfish when you have kids?

  by dissonance_resolved in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i got some great advice to take things very slowly with the husband and kids in order to be able to fade and still maintain contact with my parents and siblings.

  but today i got a call from my son's teacher that he was having a meltdown because he was worried about all his friends and teachers being destroyed at armageddon.... first i felt like such a schmuck for ever having allowed that thought to enter my son's head, then i thought, is it psychological torture for me not to immediately correct the situation?

  i had a long talk with him about how god is perfectly just and full of love and he didn't have to worry about that at all, but it still seemed lukewarm.

  about 5 minutes ago i get an article emailed to me from my mother telling me that i need to find a way to get back to jehovah and his saving arm... she read an article in a reputable newspaper that all the friends are using to show that its not just jehovahs witnesses who see religion about to get attacked by the u.n.. it concludes with a link to the article and her desire for me to please read it in light of my recent situation.. .

  here is the article http://www.examiner.com/article/is-the-un-preparing-to-attack-religion.

  the writer bill underwood is a jehovah's witness.

  Critique of Mar 2014 Awake on Creation by Alan Feuerbacher

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  alan feuerbacher has written a tremendous critique of the march 2014 awake!, which contains a grossly dishonest discussion on creation.

  the pdf file can be downloaded from awake_march_2014_creation_critique.pdf.

  it highlights watchtower use of poor and contradictory reasoning..
