Its all part of the strategy to increase the 'volume loudness level',-emeth
Yes I agree emeth, the louder they preach the more money the GB get. I totally agree with your point. It is all about the money. Good point - Kate xx
i know this was noted earlier:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/266186/3/the-big-announcement-this-week#.uoaoe_yo5dg.
but it was officially announced today that the school for couples and the school for single brothers were being combined with the new twist that single sisters would be allowed also.

i was just thinking it will be interesting to see how the wts emergency relief fund will operate in the philippines.
ok it worked well with the storm in florida, with cashing in on the insurance cheques.
sorry to generalize, but americans have the disposable income, and the insurance polices for things like this - a thing the wtbts finds very attractive.
i consider witnesses as my family-emeth
Thats a really loving spirit you show. Nice too see you commenting on this thread. How do you consider us emeth? You converse with many DF'd JWs, I find that very nice that you do. Thank you-Kate xx
I don't think the 8 GB members really care that individuals have lost homes. It would be nice to see, how many JWs are still homeless in Haiti. That would give us a guide to what the future outcome will be in the Philippines
we had another couple over this weekend.
after taking a reasonable hike in the woods, we came back to the house, made a fire and began to talk a bit.
these folks are long time friends of ours and are (like us) slowly easing out of the kingdom hall.
Oh yes! There are noticeable ulterior motives to the changes. But it's all scriptural. Jehovah's chariot in Ezekiel and all that.
Lakia, do you remember why you left in the first place? Please tell us, why did you stop going?

"singing songs, clapping hands, praising acts of giving and community work all the things present in a church have now found an official home in so-called atheist mega-churches, a quirky idea spreading like wildfire across the western world.".

Haha! What a good idea to bring people togehter. Well pointed out Phizzy, if they are atheist they can't be worshipping false Gods.
friends,.
who was in any doubt that our jw believe is a marketing model, see this pictures of the still existing hq of jw at columbia heights.. earlier comments on jwn that something is going to change in the organisation, these comments are true.. in a few years we will not talk about the watchtower society, we wil talk about jw.org.
i think the current leadership will make a transfer to a new start.
Lots of funny comments. Well spotted!
there are rumors out, that the italy (rome) bethel is being shut down and putting out to pasture a large portion of the bethel staff.. has anyone heard anything... ?.
the word is that everyone but the most senior members will be let go.
the senior bethel family members will be reassigned.
Yep, they finally realised they can't compete with the Vatican haharrr. Mama Mia!-yadda
Good point well done - Kate xx
yes, i know that the watchtower ran out of ideas a long time ago but things have really gotten bad.. take a good look a the january wt and awake.
the watchtower is a rehash of the new tract (about death) and the awake is about their jw.org website.. good grief!
when do they finally declare these rags doa and give them a decent burial?.
DD-good one
my first grandson, and he is beautiful.
i remember so clearly thinking i would never graduate from high school in this "system of things".. .
this boy will play soccer/football/basketball/band/baseball/camp, whatever the h, e, double l, he is passionate about.. .
Lovely news Watson. Be sure to teach your Grandson though, you are not 3 generations. He must learn that you are all from one huge overlapping generation with two groups of annoited. - Kate xx
this was covered a little on another thread and interested me.
i have always been convinced einstien believed in god.
i assumed what i had learned was correct and never thought i was taught something wrong.. i have seen some points posters have made.
I am pleasantly surprised we are still in Active Topics. Good to see you are all having fun xxx
