Uh-Oh, JW's are confused by the news reporting... Getting texts from active members

by thedepressedsoul in

you can refer to me as a still in mole.

anyway, i've been getting texts from jw's about the australia news.

the general census is that the jw's are very, very confused.

thedepressedsoul

If you don't mind me asking, which country are you in?

I'm in the US, that's as much detail as I'll give :). There are even pictures going around that JW's are taking with their phones and sending them to fellow JW friends asking what is going on.

I think this is bigger and having more of an impact then we all think. I've been getting the average JW thoughts for the last two years. I'm not the type that plants seeds of doubt, I'm the type that pokes and see's what they truly feel.

One thing I've learned, JW aren't as "blind" or "dumb" as we think on this board. A lot of them have doubts and are confused. You can only get them to say it though when it's one on one and you get them to let their guard down.

Anyway, I've been getting texts from JW's about the Australia news. The general census is that the JW's are very, very confused. The news is all over the place, JW's are seeing this. It's not like in the past where there wasn't much media coverage.

They honestly don't know how to make sense of it. Some are using the words like, "That's gross" or "I'm going to have to hear this from my work mates, how do I explain it?". They are shocked by the numbers. If it were one or two, they could brush it off as a misunderstanding. But over 1,000? Their WT brains are exploding.

I've had a few even say that this is the same thing that happened to the Catholic church!

Trust me guys, this one isn't escaping the notice of JW's. The news is everywhere. They're going to have to address this or try to spin this very soon because the JW's are going nuts with confusion!

So much "growth"! JW Land double sided coin

by thedepressedsoul in

i'm finding it more and more funny how every wt article for the public or congregation, including jw broadcast talks about all this "growth" and how fast jehovha's organization is speeding up!

yet everything behind closed doors, insider information, elder letters and sales paint a very different picture.

i have news for you gb members!

thedepressedsoul

I think you guys give the WT too much credit and put them up higher and smarter then they are.

I think they were dumb with their money and operated using most of it.

Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow

by minimus in

jw
friends

as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.

jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

thedepressedsoul

If you don't get 10 hours a month (national average) you're considered weak.

JW talk about watching Lord of the Rings but then shun Harry Potter.

Jumanji is bad because there is a wigi board in it, yet Disney witch movies are OK.

I have news for you GB members! If you build 1 new building but then close down 4 old ones you can't classify that as "growth" and only mention the 1 new building on JW Broadcast!

jw
friends

to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory.

re: fully utilizing kingdom hall auditoriums.

I said this would happen 6 months ago! I had reliable inside knowledge. I mention the word "full" multiple times. That's exactly what the letter states.

I posted this article 6 months ago. I would like to note that this is now in fact taking place like I had on good word it would. I mention a "full" look multiple times. That's exactly what the letter states.

"Friends" are confused who and where they should be donating!

by thedepressedsoul in

as most of you are aware there is a money issue inside of jw land.

they could be running out of money or they're just wanting more.

either way, they are making it appear as a funds issue to motivate individuals to donate more.

thedepressedsoul

Whoa, so it has happened now? There is a donate button on the website to electronically donate?!

Yes, when you login you can either do a one time donation or set it up for a reoccurring donation with a credit card. Guess debt is ok now, as long is it's for the branch!

They just showed the feature on last months broadcast in a video.
