it seems the producers of jw broadcasting read my earlier post here at jwd.org about the swedish chef.. because they introduces the swedish chef in their program now.

.

the broadcasting is surprising me more and more every month, a must see (if you can).. compare:.

They have to waste food to prove a point. People in 3rd world countries will see this and hate it. So much for their "loaf saving" message.

Children are starving all over the world and they are ruining perfectly good bread to prove some feeble point.

Proof of Jehovah's fast moving chariot!

by Sour Grapes in

at the meeting sunday, the brother giving the "public talk" (no one from the public is ever there) was talking about how the organization is moving so fast.

as proof of this he held up the new field service time slip.

yep, that was plenty of proof for me, a smaller time slip to guilt the congregation to use their tablets in service to show video's.

Good news to report: Congregations merged because lack of attendance, publishers & field service

by Khaleesi in

so it's official, i am happy to report that we merged with another congregation having the same problem.

why is it good news???

because people are either waking up, fading or just not buying into this organization any longer or walking away.... i think many young ones are just not buying into it as much, i see many in the congregation i go to very depressed and some i know personally going thru major depression especially the young "sisters" in their early 20s.... .

It's sad to think of these young sisters struggling between their inner voice and youthful ambitions, and doing what they've been led to believe is the right thing to do, namely to wait and hope rather than take action. Hopefully for this younger group, they will be able to get out and recover while they still have energy and the sparkle of life hasn't been completely rubbed off.

Cue to leave

just reading a thread about one circuit saying the pubs must donate $10.. it got me thinking, that if it ever became policy to donate a % of ones income, that would be my cue to leave.

or i would kick up such a stink about it i would be kicked out.

either would be good for me.. so, is there any public policy changes which would be your cue to leave?.

I understand your reasoning but If you think about it, $10 is a percentage of your income. Not a big percentage but a percentage just the same.

What's the difference if they say that you must donate $10 or that you must donate .05% of your income? It's still a call for mandatory donating. Little by little the religion is evolving into something most JW's wouldn't have accepted had it been presented to them all at once.
