New "theocratic history" book for witnesses?

by stuckinarut2 in

so i have heard a few of us talking about a newly released book to replace or add to the proclaimers book?.

is that correct?.

if so, i wonder how much they have re-written history to cover the real truths?.

zebagain

In a word.. NO. They can never admit when they have been WRONG.when time proves them wrong they cover it over with some shuffle speech. (Take the 1975 fiasco of people selling up and being applauded for it)

What pushed them all the years to make all the predictions? Only their own ego and a desire to 'look into things' but coming from their occult background pyramidology, wings of Horus on a publication and a few kh etc, isnt surprising.

and they have never been able to see that all the worlds peoples are not urban living Americans. One size does not fit all.

How to find joy in the ministry, according to one elder

by ohnightdivine in

he said that having a goal is the most important, since we do not want to waste our time and become depressed when going out in the ministry.. and what else could be better than setting a goal to, say, distribute xx number of magazines during that day?!.

in this way we could feel contented and joyful in service.. .

how profound!

zebagain

So you 'place' magazines with anyone even if you just know they will bin them just for the sake of numbers.

clericalismcareerismabuse of powera culture of secrecya culture that is determined to avoid scandalas being some of the roots of ongoing child sex abuse in religion (and the cover ups).

Why the Clean out of top Management

by Poztate in

jw
friends

it has been commented here that "soon" the do's will be history.

the co level will be "retired" at age 70 and the latest development was that the cobe can not serve after age 80. it would seem that there is a "cull" of top management.

in secular companys that would signal a radical change of directions ???.

zebagain

does this get rid of the GB?

I feel the entire wts is beyond any redemption.

Shut it down sell it up and disperse the funds less taxes to the victims of abuse.

Human Rights -ignored often, not far reaching enough, more than often.

by Phizzy in

human rights are clearly laid out in a number of places, and are upheld by legislation in many nations, and yet they are ignored, or when they are invoked, do not go far enough.. this is a sad state of affairs in the 21st century.. human rights are simply trodden in to the ground where we have war, where we have totalitarian regimes, and where we have ignorant clerics who rule.. even in enlightened countries that broadly accept the principles of human rights, they often are not given the priority they should receive.. take freedom of religion for example, this right should enshrine the right to freedom from religion.

the fact that we in the u.k, canada the u.s.a, europe etc etc are unable to really be free of the wt/jw religion if we wish to choose to do so shows this right is unenforceable at present.. the same with the right to family life, the jw/wt cult is allowed to ride roughshod over this basic human right.. it is time their power, and the power of religion in general, was reigned in, and they be made to respect human rights fully..

Wondering what you guys think about child abuse...

by bobert in

to start off, i'm not saying this happens, or doesn't.

i'm just a bit confused on the subject, and what you guys are always talking about.

what exactly is it with the wt on the issue of child abuse?

zebagain

The day the wts is attacked by the UN, or who ever they will scream.. persecution amd see how fast any list of paedophiles is handed over.

Were I a policeman investigating such a crime I would take the 24 people who turned up to support the offender (as in the Poisson case) and sit them down and show them evidence videos or photos of what sex crimes on children look like and make them watch!

JW in this case are like the citizens of Nazi Germany who denied the camps ever existed. I cringe I feel sick to think i was ever part of that wt 'borganisation'.

The POW Exchange

by designs in

the politico pages have blown up over the prisoner exchange between the us and the taliban.

5 prisoners in guantanamo bay prison exchanged for the us soldier, bowe bergdahl.. will this open up the future in afghanistan for greater dialogue between warring factions.

will the new president in afghanistan be able to capitalize on this gesture.

It is most likely too much to ask the media leave the guy and his family alone. He has a lot of adjusting to do. and.. I hope he gets paid for all thattime he was still 'on-duty'.
