BOE april 25

by Gorbatchov in

does someone have the boe april 25 letter about the transfer of the local ownership of all kingdom halls to the society?.

it seems a mayor financial transaction, allthough here in the netherlands.. gorby.

For germany:

the official website www.jehovaszeugen.de has this PDF:

http://www.jehovaszeugen.de/uploads/media/Amtsblatt_2013_Nr__2.pdf

It shows all KHs (page 3 ...) who MUST transfered to "Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts Jehovas Zeugen in Deutschland".

Here you can see the "Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts Jehovas Zeugen in Deutschland" in Berlin:

http://www.jehovaszeugen.de/Jehovas-Zeugen-in-Deutschland.6.0.html

So in germany this was done with a "church law" from the "Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts Jehovas Zeugen in Deutschland".

Maybe in Netherland it is simular and no BOE-letter was necessary.

this is the story of how i ended up here on this site.... .

i was stuck in a situation where reaching out took forever, an eternity.

it was ridiculous - no matter what i did, there was always more to do.

Injustice - you see the MS and Elders around and there qualities. You compare to your qualities - injustice.

My story is very simluar. I am like the monkey on the left side:

Faithful and Discreet slave class. Challenge the definition

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so we all know that the basis the org uses for its power, authority, and supposed ability to speak on behalf of god is matt 24:45.

"who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics to give them their food at the proper time?".

but how can it possibly define the wt org?.

fastJehu

Why JWs always point to Mt 24:45?

Have a close look to Luke:

(Luke 12:41, 42) 41 Then Peter said: “Lord, are you saying this illustration to us or also to all?” 42 And the Lord said: “Who really is the faithful steward, the discreet one, whom his master will appoint over his body of attendants to keep giving them their measure of food supplies at the proper time?

Translated into the revised doctrine (WT 2013-07-15):

(Luke 12:41, 42) 41 Then Peter said: “Lord, are you saying this illustration to us or also to all?” 42 And the Lord said: “Not to you, not to all. Only to a small goup of older men in Brooklyn in the year 2013."

Why are JWs so afraid of apostates?

by Magnum in

why are jws so afraid of apostates?

their view of apostates seems to be out of the realm of the ordinary, the natural.

its as if the words of apostates are supernatual or spiritistic as if apostates are some kind of jedi knights who can slightly wave their hands or twitch their eyes and bring one under a spell.

Is this new donation arrangement for real?

by nugget in

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.

JWs following Jesus?

Advice, Opinions, Please!

by mellojello in

do any of you sometimes experience difficulty in shaking wt teachings?

like it intrudes in your daily life and thought and some things that may be alright, now you feel as if they're wrong or you plain just don't know.

i know the wt is a lie but i haven't lost my faith in god, i know he's there but it's hard knowing whats the right thing to do.

@ mellojello

1. careers: Have a close look, how god will see your career and if you are the "best" in your job:

(Proverbs 22:29) 29 Have you beheld a man skillful in his work? Before kings is where he will station himself; he will not station himself before commonplace men.

2. birthdays: celebrating birthdays will NOT end in DF. Reading the "elders book" about this was helping me to get free.

3. end is near: reading the Awake from 1968 telling young people, that they will not get old in this system and should have no career in this world helped me a lot to see behind this "the end is near". The end is near since brother Russel started writing.

Jesus showed his followers to have a money box for the poor people. Ask yourself: Are JWs following this pattern?
