  WATCHTOWER Is Trying To Put Cameras In All of Their Kingdom Halls

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  one of my best friends is in the security business.

  he told me the other day of how the watch tower has been in contact with his good friend and business associate.

  evidently they are inquiring about putting cameras into every kh so that they can do 24 hour monitoring.

  Of course no one will be listening to see if there is any "unholy" apostate speech going on especially if it is with "greediness".

  They will be able to snoop at will.

  Why are they announcing 2019 conventions so early?

  by Richard_I in

  i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .

  so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?

  normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??

  They are preparing the dubs for the money pitch that comes with every international convention. Donate money so we can bring the missionaries home for a bit of vacation. They'll put in a special box for donations if things go as in the past.

  Sounds just like a real dub memo. Reminds me of all those notebooks at Bethell for home cleaning, wall washing, etc, and on and on they go.

  any cheese lovers out there?

  i just love virtually any kind, from creamy and soft to brittle and sharp, from cottage cheese to the 'moldy' cheeses like gorgonzola.

  i like to try new things, so any suggestions for cheese varieties you have tried?

  Couldn't resist the old JW joke:

  Eat too much cheese you'll be like the devil, bound for a thousand years.

  this post is for the lurking dub.

  the pimc (physically in, mentally confused) lurker dub.

  the guy who reads the watchtower stuff and scratches his head, sure something is amiss but not sure of what’s really happening.. it may also be of some interest to those curious of the nuts and bolts of watchtower’s methods of scripture twisting.. in tonight’s “digging for spiritual gems: (8 min.

  "Evidently" Jesus spoke to the GB about this, "likely" while they were asleep.

  Withdrawing community support in the congs

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed in the past 10 years that the social support that used to be available in the congs, a shoulder to cry on, elders to help with family/marriage issues these seem to have been purposely withdrawn.

  counsel is even heard from the platform that the elders are not there to help people with their problems.. so first in the 80s-90s they take away the congregation get to getters and social events and now they seem to be going one step further in taking away the emotional support for people too.. this will take away an aspect that i'm sure was keeping alot of people in the borg, the community support.

  if that's not there and its just about meetings and ministry how many will start to get their emotional support elsewhere?.

  Just go in the door to door work and donate money too, that solves all problems.

  I don't know why the dubs are always worried about suits, other religions have picnic areas, buses, playgrounds, coffee meetups, after service meals, and so on. They don't seem to be worried about suits. Bet they take in more money too.
