hi sir (no good morning sir) we have a web site,.
jw.org in different languages.
The borg says, that in the first 6 months of the year they hsd recived about a 1,000 study request. In the first 2 weeks of Aug, they had recived 3,200 request. So millions of tracks, and who know how much badly needed money by the sheeple, is being burnt, for this "HISTORIC" work!

About 20 years ago, a long time friend of my, that had gotten me involved in a number of "MLM's", called me with a NEW program he wanted to share with me. I ask him what it was, he said, "I can't tell you. You will find out during the meeting" I told him, Ok, I will come, but if it turns out to be Amway, I will KILL you! He then said, don't come!

even the mennonites won't be left behind in having an out of date and hard to use website!
this announcement was 2 months ago but still is rather interesting.
"we are pleased to announce that a new mennonite church usa website will be launched over the weekend of july 5-6!
Hey, Thanks for your post!

i was raised as a jehovahs witness.
currently i still am part of a congregation, which i gather is also the case for many who come here.
i no longer consider them god's chosen people.
I enjoyed reading your post!

we are supposed to have a new co effective this september.
what do you think about the guy that left?.
The one we have now, I briefly met in Chicago back in the mid 70's. I seldom forget people I meet, the name is another thing, I can't remember mine now and then. This guys comes across as kind and caring, behind closed doors, his true personally jumps right out, hard line, hard ass!

of course this is a hypothetical question , it will never happen .?
but what if it did , what do you think the society would be like if it did happen .?.
let your imaginations run wild .
If they had a few with the mind set of my x mother in law, it would be worse! She put he youngest son out on the streets at 16, because he wouldn't get baptized. From that point on, he was dead in her eyes!
These would be the kind picked to be a part of the gb!

among all of the other changes recently, there have been broad hints that the biggest change(s) are yet to come.
an instruction has appeared on the elders only part of jw.org to set aside 15 minutes on the sept 1 service meeting with further details to follow.
of course it could just be another load of hot air, but it seems a strange thing to do after making a fuss about all of the service meeting parts this month being focussed on the kingdom (all of the parts for wb sept 1 have material - no local needs get out) when i hear more i'll post details..
I love it data dog!

the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".
They are already pushing publishers to download everything they need if they have what's needed to do it with!
My wifes aunt is always the very first in line to order anything new, except stuff for the blind! She's had internet service for years now, kniws how to download and use everything jw related, but was still getting the mags on cd's and everything else offered. It made her MAD, after an elder found out she knew how to do and use it all, and he told her to stop ordering all that stuff! She is a HORDER, my wife and her mom, have to go over and dig her place out every few years to keep her from getting kicked out! The last time, they found 15 new bibles never opened, and five new delux bibles. She now has to check with an elder before ordering anything! She is also a TIGHT WAD, so most likely, never gave a dime in return!

i wonder if anyone else has had this experience or know of others who have.
when i was disfellowshipped, i approached another disfellowshipped person after the memorial celebration and asked him over for some refreshments and conversation.
he turned down my invitation saying that the elders had told him that he could not even talk to other disfellowshipped persons unless and until both he and they were reinstated!
In many some congregation, it will be one of the things they ask about, if your asking to be reinstated. And like Da.Furious said, if your wanting back in, then your association, comes into play!

this is a quote of a quote taken from anthoney mathenia:.
" for organizations like the watchtower, absolute control of their message is paramount.
it will not even allow its own adherents to spread their good news online.
The site seems to be down now!
