Apologies for outage

by Simon in

looks like the forum went down (right after i went to bed, doh!)..

i really should get some monitoring setup but it's been pretty rock solid for ages so i've never bothered.. must be something todo with all the tinkering i've been doing and the background job i started running yesterday.. anyway, sorry for anyone who's been trying to access the site..

ohnightdivine

What a relief. I thought the site has been hacked by WT already.

Thank you, Simon, for getting it up and running again.

Thanks a lotttttt!!!!!!

To everyone, I love you all!

How exciting to be taken care of by the fierce and not-so-discreet slave at this critical time!

How blessed are we for the new improved bible!

Wait, what's that about the new edition being "sister-proof"??????

Where's SFPW?

Your Governing Body already knows what God will do. Why?

Are they now greater than God?

Wow.

So, yes, they're all for display.

And then they'll roll out the new NTW version, appearing to be a product of the most meticulous and painstaking research and translation work, ever.

It's all for show...

Just my gut feeling.

All hail the Governing Body and God's Corporation

by mindnumbed in

an annual meeting is a legal requirement for a corporation.. the watchtower annual meeting (agm) is a legal event that has become the biggest spiritual event of the year, overshadowing what is supposed to be the most important event, the memorial of christ's death.. praise be to the governing buddies who sit on the throne of christ..

mindnumbed: Praise be to the Governing Buddies who sit on the throne of Christ.

I think it's more like "who sh*t on the throne of Christ."

Donations aren't coming in from Western Countries: more confirmation

by Julia Orwell in

in talking to sparky the elder today (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/263862/1/an-elder-called-me-hes-waking-up-and-knew-id-understand-nice-for-him-to-have-a-friend) i found out he did the accounts for our congregation for years.

he said very rarely did the congregation meet its expenses without some well-off brother chipping in a few grand here and there.

the elders would also make up the shortfall.

Thanks for your posts, Julia!

I wish we lived in the same country, so that I could go visit you for coffee and chat!

Bragging among JWs...

by ohnightdivine in

jw
friends

posting about the wonderful preaching day on fb... posting about what they ate for lunch, snacks, dinner after preaching... posting about rubbing elbows with the co, do, etc... posting about getting into pioneer school... swooning over the latest gadgets, right after the meeting... being obsessed about what clothes to wear during the assemblies.... etc.. etc... being proud of having an sp, bethelite, etc relative... being unable to take pride in academic, secular, or other normal achievements leads to the above, i guess.. and it's not at all different from how "worldly" people behave these days... .

Sofi, how true is that.

During the last memorial the sisters were very busy taking pictures of THEMSELVES in their beautiful dresses for half an hour. Nobody talked about the talk. It was all about the dresses and I knew how busy they were trying to get those dresses several days before the memorial.

Meanwhile, the invited guests had to wait while the photo session was on-going. Some had to leave first because their conductors were still busy. I'm not exaggerating. I felt a little ashamed at the time.
