  The Watchtower—Study Edition | September 2022 Prove Yourself Trustworthy

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2022. elders do not reveal confidential matters to their family members (see paragraph 11) .

  elders who are known to keep a confidence are “a hiding place from the wind, a place of concealment” for their brothers.

  What a joke. Dub elders are some of the worst gossips I know. As soon as they get home from an elder's meeting they spill it to Sister Eldub who will sooner than later call Sister Knowitall Eldub and compare notes. Circuit overseers can even be worse, carrying tales all over the Circuit.

  Experiment: Tell Brother Holierthanthou Eldub that you won a million dollars on a scratch off ticket. Tell no one else. See how fast it gets around. Later you can say you made a mistake, it wasn't a winner after all.

  Were the bethelites disappointed when they moved out of Brooklyn?

  anyone know of anyone who was serving at the time of the move?

  i know a few former jw's who were at brooklyn who have told me that the actual bethel experience was kind of a drag but it was kinda cool to experience living in nyc for a couple of years.

  i visited a relative who was serving, years ago and went into the apartment he shared.

  At least in Crooklyn one could get public transportation to flee the House. Imagine being out in never never land with no wheels.

  Interesting article appeared here.

  https://torrentfreak.com/watch-towers-dmca-warfare-collapses-after-big-guns-defend-apostate-220516/

  How much money have they wasted on this frivolous type of thing? As they are fond of saying "make wise use of dedicated funds".

  The dub rank and file has no clue the extent of the waste of their money.

  What have you forgotten you ever even knew?

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at a certain point, as the years tick by, you start to realize that you have forgotten a lot of things.

  typically, something you learned, some knowledge or skill you used to have, that you just haven't used for so long you no longer remember anything but that you once knew it.. i saw an article about electrical resistors the other day, and how the colored bands signify the rating.

  now all i remember is that i used to know it, and that resistors do something with, erm, electricity ...

  Simon I still remember the little ditty they taught us to remember the resistor color code and that was over 50 some years ago in high school electronics class. But it's not repeatable here. Teachers would get written up in the newspaper and probably fired for teaching it today.

  An upcoming Watchtower article saying if people Pioneer Jehovah will provide!

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw the post on reddit and the thread got many responses..can anybody believe the religion is still saying this??

  it has to be as plain as day that so many jws are poor and struggling today because they never got a career or decent job years ago.. sadly, there are still witnesses who believe money will fall from heaven if they are in the full-time ministry.

  they expect some miracle to occur..but, we all know the truth: people in the congregation will be hit up for yet more money for another bunch of irresponsible people pursuing poverty.

  And yet they teach that with the death of the apostles miracles ceased. So which is it then miraculous provisions of money or not? Ask a dub about that and listen to them choke up.

  Freaky, unsettling, unnerving comment from Losch in his AGM talk

  by FFGhost in

  2. beliefs

  did anybody else catch it?.

  he said that people who come back in the earthly resurrection would be given a body "reasonably similar" to the one they had prior to death.. what the almighty hootch?.

  "similar"?.

  Previously it had been said that you would know resurrected ones by their personality.

  Another choice from the belief of the month club now I guess. Where do they get this stuff?

  I was 21 or 22 when the elder arrangement went into effect having already been the Bible Study Servant. Gave first public talk just before I turned 18.

  Thanks for posting. Lots of Beth-hell folks speaking at both those conventions. Wasn't at Landover in '85, I think I was in Palm Beach for that one. I did happen to attend much of the '78 D.C. event.
