  these men are appointed by holy spirit,.

  here is the source: http://www.economiadigital.es/es/notices/2015/01/la-fiscalia-imputa-una-estafa-de-mas-de-170-millones-de-euros-a-una-congregacion-de-testigos-de-jeho-65161.php.

  basically, if you don't know spanish, it boils down to this: (my personal editorial of what i've read).

  Insistance on legal contracts

  by StarTrekAngel in

  just asking those who still attend or keep up with the latest magazines.

  there was a wt study not too long ago that insisted on studying every pact that god made in the past, but adding the spin of calling them "legal contracts".

  this week's book study concentrated on the same thing.

  Yeah, I had kind of figured that out even before I began coming to sites like this one. But there is a gap between a verbal agreement and a written one.

  ok.. I just hope that one day they are not going to start demanding we sign a legal agreement in order to remain members or get baptized.

This week's book study concentrated on the same thing. Not to start a conspiracy thread, but this smells funny to me.

  Our cong resolved to send $300 a month after the new arrangement was announced. Our Hall had just finished a $130K remodeling project. Everyone saw this as the biggest blessing ever. We had not send the first payment for the project and the loan was "forgiven". Never mind that we would now donate $300 for who knows how long. Not a year later, in December, another resolution was passed to up the amount to $500 a month.

  Why I like Jehovah's Witnesses

  by undercover witness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.

  i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.

  so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.

  I am pretty sure individual members are for the most part nice people. I know may that are indeed. They are just unaware of what they got into. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish but whomever wrote that did not bother to research the topic.

  Waking someone up using WT Article on "Doubts"?

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  has anyone had success in using this article to convince their family member or spouse that critical research of what the society presents is important to build faith?.

  this article has this passage that jumped out at me:.

  of course, not all doubt is bad.

  Awesome movie: "THE GIVER". This is a MUST WATCH for witnesses and those breaking free from the WT!!!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  you have to watch the movie "the giver"!

  it is simply an awesome movie for every thinking witness, or those trying to break free from the org's hold on us.. i wont give away too much, but the concept of the film is mind blowing!

  utopia vs reality etc... conformity vs individuality and humanity... etc.

  Too bad most JWs think they do have individuality and free will.
