So far from this guy we have the following:

No Spanx (Yoga Pants)
No tight pants
MS by 21 or not eligible for marriage
Baptized before your license
No colored socks
Gays want to see you in tight pants

That's just from this guys talks alone! It's very scary to think this guy is running the show.

I'll leave you all with this quote from their book that is being studied now...

"The religious leaders buried God’s Law under a mass of man-made rules and regulations. The Sabbath law, for instance, simply forbade work on the Sabbath, setting that day aside for worship, spiritual refreshment, and rest. But the Pharisees made a burden of that law. They took it upon themselves to decide just what “work” meant. They labeled as work 39 different activities, such as reaping or hunting. These categories gave rise to endless questions. If a man killed a flea on the Sabbath, was he hunting? If he plucked a handful of grain to eat as he walked along, was he reaping? If he healed someone who was ill, was he working? Such questions were addressed with rigid, detailed rules."

lol they must be having a real hard time keeping their numbers up if they're resorting to members who left.

Our hall is asking for money...

by thedepressedsoul in

i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.

we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.

it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

thedepressedsoul

Vote for it - don't support it.

There is no vote. You fill out a slip of how much you can pledge each month.

I absolutly believe that Wt (at the very least) should of been more clearer about that new funding arrangment. I think they have sent the message to the R&F that they are in a good financial position. Why else would of they other wise canceled the KH loans. Now it's done a full circle and come back to bite them, and I say "GOOD BLOODY JOB?!!!".

That's what cults do though. They try to make it seem all nice and loving on the surface while when you dig into it you actually realize it's harmful and worse than before. It's no different than having a public and internal Watchtower. You have the RF version of the loan payoff and you have the elder version of the loan payoff.

There is always two sides of the coin in JW land. The PR side and the dark internal side.

This is like our 10th local needs/announcement about donating more recently.

It's more of a burden than tithing!

They tell you not to get a good job, not to get higher education and then bash you over the head to donate more. What did they expect when making those rules? Poor, uneducated people donating thousands each month?

They want the control of Islam and the finances of the Catholic church. They're trying to take blood from a rock!

I don't think JW's can brag anymore about not passing a collection plate or asking it's members for money...

The "Final Push" before the GT!!! I think they REALLY believe it!

by DATA-DOG in

i don't know if i have shared this with everyone, but there seems to be a new theocratic term, at least in my circuit.. the term is "final push.

" wtf does it mean?

well, an eldub said that the gb are "all in" with warwick and they might spend all their money on the project.

thedepressedsoul

clambake - "Given the fact the U.N isn't in the process of banning all religions while the JWs are holding there own, I don't know how the average DUB kind really get excited about this kind of stuff."

The average Dub isn't really up on the finer details of the WTS's End-Times script (and they don't have a f**king clueabout legitimate current events).
If they were, there might be a few more "wait-what?" moments.

This is a very good point. I don't know what would get them all excited. The U.N has less power than ever.

Although when times are bad it's, prophecy from Mathew and when times are good it's thief in the night. No matter what scenario it's right around the corner with JW's.

thanks to wifibandit and pixel for collaborating on this.

Why does an organization that encourages its members not to vote care when a vote is passed they don't like ?

It's ironic, people who only complain but refuse to ever do anything to help the problem.

How many final pushes can they have!

This should be called the final, final, final push.

can we please destroy this box that they keep publishing with some actual facts?

thedepressedsoul

Its operation cannot be observed. It cannot be reproduced. And it cannot make accurate predictions.

Sounds like their religion, beliefs and 1914!

So.... Basically they just said that god and their doctrines don't even have enough evidence to be a theory? Guess 1914 doesn't even deserve to be called a theory.

I love when they try to redefine words and get very technical. They look so dumb.
