Two new leaflets announced at Meeting today - desparate times?
by cantleave ini don't know if anyone else has posted about this, but at tonight's meeting it was announced there are two new leaflets one dealing with how to leave a legacy for the worldwide work and the other on how to make tax effective contributions?.
this maybe for the uk only but i thought it showed that they really are focussing on filling up the depleted coffers..

Go to the poor , the downtrodden and the disadvantaged, show them pretty pictures of paradise and tell them this will all be yours "soon" sure you'll get converts. Unfortunately they're just peddling empty promises and false hope. I liked the comment "if you know just one word in a forign language you can be a teacher". No matter how you slice it the language of the WT is BS.

Is it true? John Denver asks any Witnesses to leave his concert!
by Witness 007 inversion 1. john denver at his concert asks "if there are any jehovah's witnesses in the audience can you please leave.".
version 2. on the johnny carson show he said the same before singing a patriotic song.
johnny carson told denver "see that cameraman there..and that lighting guy...there jehovahs witnesses, alot of witnesses work for me because their honest people..so now you can leave.".

These kinds of rumours don't die because the JWs have this great big presecution complex...if they're hated that's proof that they are the chosen ones, approved by God.

One of the things that's not changed about the WT is... they're always changing! Always have been, always will, it's how they survive.

"SECRETS OF PEDOPHILIA" CD Court Records Now FREE to Download
by AndersonsInfo inwe're happy to announce that now all 5,000 pages of court records from the nine child sexual abuse lawsuits involving sixteen victims, settled by watchtower in february 2007, are available for free download from our website, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.
there are a total of twelve files, besides a file containing a commentary explaining the lawsuits, and each file can be downloaded separately.
due to the fact that many people purchased the cd, "secrets of pedophilia in an american religion," thus, reimbursing us for the expense to buy, compile and publish the court documents, there is now no reason to sell the material anymore.

Geez, if God really is directing the organization then he must have screwed up by canceling the bookstudy due to gas prices...Now if god can't figure out the price of gas I'm not even going to try.

Years ago we inviter an elder and his family over for a meal and an evening together...not long after we finished eating he said they had to get going...there was a movie on tv that he wanted to watch. He had cable, we didn't. That guy was an a**hole, and probably still is CHUCK LEARNED.

Do any of you in, actively try to get people out?
by cognac inhowever, sometimes i have a tendency to say to much.
one of these days i'm gonna get in trouble for it again... i just recently told my sil that the blood thing doesn't bother my conscience.
i told another close friend that i was relieved my husband was no longer reaching out to be an ms because i didn't want to have to deal with the pressure all the time.

As I stated before the Great Tribulation is picking up speed!!!!!!!!!!
by unbaptized inwhen i think about the biblical tale of noah!
i think of the time we are living in today and how it resembles noah's time.
no one's really paying attention.

Nothing new here, I've been hearing this same stuff for the past 50 years,and before you say "we're that much closer now" let me say you were wrong then and you are wrong now.
I suppose the collapse of the banking system caused by the South Sea Bubble and Tulip Mania were also proof of the nearness of the great tribulation...ooops they happened in the 18th century.
And so it goes on...

Where did it all go wrong?
by THE GLADIATOR inbeing a jehovahs witness is getting easier with each worldly year that passes.
time is not getting shorter but meetings are, along with assemblies.
in my day the closing prayer lasted longer than the whole modern assembly.
